Is there a way to GREP the number "1" to sequential numbers?

I imported the text into Word. It creates blue line "page breaks."
Any way to use Word's page breaks to place the #s"

You should be able to search for the page breaks in Word, replace them w/ automatic page number text fields (or whatever they're called) followed by a page break, then export to a .rtf which should instantiate such as numerals.

Finally gave your suggestion a try, William. I couldn't find anyway thru Words find and change to replace the invisible (orange) page breaks with automatic #ing.

From memory:

- find ^m (manual page breaks)

- load the clipboard w/ an automatic page number and paste it in.

I'll give it a try. Thanks, William.

Hi William,

^m finds the manual page breaks

But setting auto page #s then view header/footer allows me to select a page #, which pastes into Replace as the actual #, e.g., 231.

Any ideas? I'm on 2008 Word for Mac.

Future than I was before. If I can pull this off it will be a huge leap in proof reading Accessible pdf.

Why are working in Word? Are trying to replace InDesign's page number
variable with "real" page numbers that can be read in an accessible pdf?
If so, check out a post on the InDesign Secrets forum titled "Workaround:
How to get page numbers in an ePub" by jpannier. The same process could
work for you.

I'll check it out. Thanks, Rebecca.

I've discovered I can export Accessible text from Acrobat pdfs. Accessible text contains all Tagged text with Alt text replacement copy for proofing which is nearly impossible in the pdf.

Theoretically the accessible pdf text can be exported to Word, but it crashes Acrobat. And so far only exporting to text works.

Unfortunately All page #s are artifacted, so I don't get page #s, but do get page breaks which aren't that accurate as far as pages go. Still it's better than nothing.

At first I couldn't figure out how to GREP for page breaks, so thought I was stuck with Word. But having discovered the GREP I can work in ID.
