Consecutive Numbering?

New Here ,
Apr 17, 2018 Apr 17, 2018

I'm trying to create a form that is going to be cut into thirds and need numbering from 1-50 on the first 1/3. 51-100 on the next, and 101-150 on the last. How do I go about it. Below you can see the form I've created. We plan on printing these 8.5x11 and then cutting in thirds as I've mentioned before. Is there also an easy way to go back into the file at a later date and easily change the numbering to continue past 151?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've downloaded this as it seems like I might use it in the future, so thank you!

Otherwise, I think I figured it out.

In Excel I created 3 columns. Columns A, B, & C. Then under A I numbered 1-100. B is 101-200, and C is 201-300. I then saved it as a CSV file.

In InDesign I pulled up the merge window and selected that CSV file as my data source. It then pulled the 3 columns for my merge. I could then just put column A, B, & C wherever I needed on my document, in my case in the same spot on pages

Have you looked at Colin Flashman's Cut and Stack Assistant script?

Read the PDF with instructions to see if it's what you need.

I could then just put column A, B, & C wherever I needed on my document, in my case in the same spot on pages one and two. Then ran the merge and exported as a PDF. That gave me 3 stacks after the cut that are in perfect sequential order.
