Aloha,

My colleges created a 200+ page document as 8.5 x 11 with facing pages. They are now wanteding to number each spread with it's own page number. For instance: pages 2-3 (spread) would be page 1, pages 4-5 would be page 2, pages 6-7 would be page 3.  We are hoping to do this via Master Pages/Automatically and not have to do these manually or recreate the document...the right way. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Mahalo,

Roger O.

You could link text frames in the same position on each page and fill the chain with multiple numbered paragraphs.

 

You could make a new InDesign document that is the size of the spread and place each page in the layout, recreating the spreads ,then add page numbers on the parent page.

 

You could export to PDF as spreads then use the Place MultipagePDF script to import the spreads and add page numbers on the parent page.
