Change Page Labels default numbering

How do I change the page labels default so that when using uppercase alphabetics, page numbers greater than 26 have a page numbering scheme of AA, AB, AC rather than the default of AA, BB, CC?

There's no built-in way of doing it, but it can be achieved using a custom-made script.

I guess you could do it manually, by using "A" as a prefix for pages 27-53, "B" for pages 54-80, etc., but if you have a lot of pages that can become quite labor-intensive, and if you make a mistake you'll need to start over... Using a script is a much better (and faster) way to do it.

I currently use prefix designations. Thank goodness I do not have that many page thumbnails to change.
