How to insert increasing numbers in a Pages document?

Hello and thank you in advance for your time.
1) Does anyone know if there is a way to insert a unique number (let's say starting at 0001 and increasing by 1 to 2000) into a document in Pages?
I want to print out tickets (8 or 10 a page) and need a unique identifier on each.
Is this as easy as it sounds it should be, or not functionality in this software.
2) Would using Numbers be a wise alternative? I would prefer not to have to duplicate the design 2000 times and click and drag the number all the way down.
My apologies if there is a really simple solution that is not coming to me at the moment (which I hope is the case)!
Thanks again, and enjoy your weekend!
Michael

It might work better to make your first number 1001.
I built the formulas in a spreadsheet but they apply to a Pages's table.
In column A, the formula is :
=RIGHT("000"&(-1+ROW()*2),4)
In column B, it is :
=RIGHT("000"&ROW()*2,4)
The results are strings so the leading zeroes will remain here.

  • Inserting line numbers in a pages document !

    How can you do this ? I need to do it for a dissertation

    Hi Bruce,
    Contrary to the Apple Tip on numbering the lines, I've found that it's much easier to:
    Insert a Table with one column and N-rows,
    turn off the Header Row using the Tables Inspector
    Fill Down with numbers,
    set the borders to None,
    adjust the text alignment to suit,
    position the table in the left margin.
    Once you have a page of text, adjust the row spacing of the table to get the numbers to line up with the text lines. Do this by clicking off the table, then once on the table to expose the handles. drag the bottom center handle to stretch or compress the rows of the table. Grab the whole table to position it.
    Much easier to do than to describe. Lots easier than a text box.

  • How can I take data from multiple pages documents and put them into a numbers table?

    I produce invoices in pages, with dates, invoice numbers, references and amounts due. I want to take all this data from multiple documents and transfeer it to a single numbers table. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it. I know I can do it the other way round with mail merge but I can't figure out how to do it this way round?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    The data is spread throughout a pages document in specific areas here's a copy of an invoice for you to have a look at.

  • How to insert line numbers in InDesign CS5

    I am creating a document that needs to have line numbers appear every for every 5 lines of text. Using the list function, I can get a number for every line, but can't find a way to just number line 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
    All help appreciated,
    Cathy

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Bob, but from what I read in the comments on the script is that it inserts line numbers for every line and has no options for customizing to show numbers for only lines 5, 10, 15, etc. Also, using the list function in InDesign on selected text I can get the same result (including multi page if I select all text) and then convert the auto list numbers to text, which would allow me to remove unwanted numbers and leave just the ones I need (although that would be a painful manual process for a longer document.).
    Am I missing something about the script?
    I must admit that I'm shocked that this isn't a built in capability in InDesign!

  • How to generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??

    How can I generate row numbering over several pages in PAGES??
    e.g. Page1 1-35
    Page2 36-...

    Hi Labrat,
    My suggestion would be to create a Template in the Page Layout mode. This template would have a 1-column Table to present the line numbers and a Text Box for the Body Text. If you want the Line Numbers to stay in alignment with the Body Text, set the spacing for both to Exactly. Set the Table Cell Borders to None. The faint cell borders that you see in the following example are there because I am in View Layout mode. They will not show when printed.
    For my example I have used Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to create a Pull-down +Page option for a Numbered Line Page. You can Capture as many versions of your numbered pages as you like to avoid having to modify the Line Numbers on successive pages.
    Here's my example:

  • How do I increase numbers +1 by draging?

    In MS Excel, you can just ctrl + drag cells to increase numbers by +1.
    How can I do the same thing in Numbers?

    Adding to what Jerry said:
    Numeric values will increment in steps set by the two seed values.
    Single letters, text strings ending with a (single) numeral, times and dates will increment from a single seed, as shown below. Green filled cells are the seed values.
    With two seed values, items in the first six columns in the example can also be made to increase (or decrease) in other than single unit steps. Add a third seed value (that breaks the pattern), and you'll get results like those in the last two columns.
    This, and other topics about Numbers are covered in the Numbers '09 User Guide. This guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

  • How to Insert Web Gallery in Web Page?

    I created a Web Photo Gallery in Adobe Bridge CS4. I want to INSERT it in a web page using Dreamweaver. The problem is that the Web Gallery is an index.html file and appears to be a web page itself. But I need it to just be part of a web page that contains my background images, texts and links. The Web Gallery is NOT a flash animation.
    Thanks,
    Ief

    With so many questions about this, I decided to create a test gallery using Bridge and I must admit, it's not as easy as one would think to incorporate it into an existing site.  Admittedly I didn't spent too much time on this, but I agree, it should be much easier to implement.
    Here's a few links dealing with Photo Galleries and Slideshows that may be useful:

  • Can you insert a file path in pages document

    Is there any way of inserting a "file path" into a document in the new version of pages. You could do it in Pages 09 but I can't find any way of doing in the new
    Version. I know the inference is you are using the cloud - therefore file paths are not needed - but a lot of us still store documents in various places ( especially in the work place).

    No.
    Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • How can I remove section dividers from Pages document?

    I would like to remove the section dividers in a Pages document so that all pages are a part of one section, not several. I would like to be able to number the pages consecutively from beginning to end of the document.
    Thank you.

    Section Breaks are characters, so you can just forward or backward delete them.
    You can also set the document to continue numbering from the previous section.
