Change Page Labels default numbering

[RickyD_2]

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.

If you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on the blue "Message" button.

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.

No thanks. I use a workaround. I use an application that does it correctly. After converting to PDF, page labels need to be "repaired". MS Word has the same issue of counting. I don't understand why the developers are familiar with decimal and hexadecimal sequence. AA should be succeeded by AB. After all, you don't go 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30...

I should have had: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 22, 33, 44, etc.
