Sequential numbering rule, with a twist

[Florida_ssp]

Hi, I am pretty new to FP, and know very little coding. I have a project. On each page there are three numbers, sequential. Page two continues with the numbering.
So, Page one has 4001, 4002, 4003. Page 2 has 4004, 4005, 4006 and so on. I've been creating an excel spreadsheet with three columns of the proper numbers. Works fine.. however.. is there a way to create a numbering rule for future use that skips every two numbers?

If you're using FusionPro 8 or later, it's really easy. All you have to do is set a global variable in the OnJobStart callback rule to initialize the number. Like this:
OnJobStart

number = 400; // Edit this starting number if needed

Then you create a text rule:

return number++;

Make sure "Re-evaluate this rule for every text flow" is checked. That's the most important step because that makes FusionPro run the rule for every text frame it's called in. So, every time the rule is called, it increments 'number' by 1. Your first text frame will show "401", the second will show "402" and so forth throughout the job.

Worked perfectly! Thanks so much! Woot!
