Numbering & Section issue

Question

Hey all,
I had two different spreads which had "start section" checked under numbering and section dalogue. Both of them had a page 4 and so when I went to print it was impossible to print as error would continuously display. So to solve problem, with the first section, I specified Start Page Numbering at with "1000" to ensure that it would not conflict wiht the numbering of the other section. Hence, now I have spreads in my pages panel with numbering like 1000,1001,1002,1003 - even though they are really the 1,2,3,4 page respecively in document. However, I cannot name them 1,2,3,4 because I later name spreads 1,2,3,4. Rather than using this high number to represent the spread numbering, is there  a better solution?
Thanks for response.

Answer 1

When you attempt to print you can use "+" symbol this will use the actual page instead. So for example Print>Pages>+8 would print Page 8 of the document not folio 8.
Example:
Pages
|1
2|3
4|1
2|3
|4
Using the "+8" would print page 8, i.e., the 8th page.
But I think you're misunderstanding the Section numbers.
Typically within a publication you would not Section parts of the publication with 1,2,3,4 for both sections. This would really trip up someone when looking at a table of contents, table of cases, an index or page references within the publication.
Sections are designated with Roman Numerals, i,ii,iii,iv,v etc. for pages preceding the main focus of the publications.
For example I could have
(these in roman numerals)
Lead In Page (i)
Imprint Page (ii)
Foreword (iii)
Contents (iv - xx)
(these as 1,2,3,4)
Chapter 1 (1)
Chapter 2 (20)
chapter 3 (46)
etc.
Typically you would not Section a book with two Sections using "Numerals"
So the simple solution is to change the pages prior to the main Chapters to "Roman Numerals"
If you're using folios on these pages they will be represented in i,ii, iii, iv, v, vi etc.
But that's normal practice.
If you really need to number the Sections 1 - 4, then 1 - 4 again
You can use the + symbol print the actual page in the document and not the folio.
But it's odd to numbers sections this way.
