I use a template for all my drawings that includes a page number in the lower right hand corner (usually says "Page 1 of 4" for example). I usually edit this number manually, which is fine for documents with a small amount of pages, but if I'm working on a large document (50+ pages) and need to re-order some pages it means editing the page number on every page manually.
Is there some way of having the number in a piece of artistic text dynamically update depending on what page number it's on?
I have programed a macro & have already used it for a 1.2K book in CorelDRAW. You also can try it & send in your feedback.

Thanks Anand, I gave it a quick try but it doesn't seem to do exactly what I'm looking for.
I created some artistic text on page 1 and then applied your utility to the text. This changes the text to '1'. Now when I copy and paste this artistic text onto page 2, it stays as '1' instead of updating to '2', which is what I'm looking for.
Hi JoyMonkey
It should work on your example in the thread. I have explained it in the help.You need not copy and paste the created artististic text. OK follow these steps
Create an artistic text
Apply the font attributes to it as you want it for the page numbering in you file ( Including font, point size, text alitgment ..... & everything.
Place the object on desired position on the page
Run the utility & enter the desired "Start Page Number" Prefix & Suffix ( if needed)& click proceed.
All pages in the file will be numbered in sequence & the starting page number will be the one you have specified.
I have already used & tested it for my own job of 1200 page book. Hope it works as you desire.
Try it as I have mentioned here.
