Correct answer rob day

hi rob

This is what happens when I run the script 😞

 


There are two scripts in the DB folder, one reverses page numbering the other numbers spreads. looks like you downloaded ReverseNumbering.jsx—try SpreadNumbering.jsx

hi,

 

Hello, I can't get it to work. Can you help me with a short video? I appreciate it.

Hi @Harun 34 , Do you get an error message, or do the current page numbers not change, or are you having problems getting the script to show in your Scripts panel?

Steve is right, of course, but here is a work around: https://creativepro.com/create-spread-numbers/.

 

This is slightly diffferent from what you are asking—the steps (all of which work the same way today in 2024) will add numbers to one side of your spread, so just repeat on the facing parent page. (Note: master pages are called parent pages these days.)

It's currently not possible to do that with InDesign numbering.

 

You could make a feature request on the InDesign User Voice website but I don't think it's very likely to be popular.
