Applescript Indesign: Add leading Zeros to page numbering

Hi All

I’m creating a new doc from scratch but I need the auto page numbering to have 3 leading zeros, Can someone help me with the syntax? I’ve found references to ‘numbering format’ and ‘triple leading zeros’ in the directory, but I keep getting the following error when trying to set them to page 1.

Adobe InDesign CC 2015 got an error: Can't set numbering format of page 1 of document id 461 to triple leading zeros.

thanks again.

Shane

Hi. An automatic page number is a Marker, but numbering format pertains to the Bullets and Numbering feature, which applies faux headings to list items. You might try the section object. In my version, section can only prepend zeroes; it’s not intelligent enough to adjust them without user intervention; i.e., if you assign a leading zero, when 09 should change to 10, it will read 010. You need to create new section divider for each logical break”or otherwise manually adjust your numbers.
