We do it here all the time in Adobe InDesign. First you need to create your numbers in Excel. Make sure you give headings to each column depending on how many up on a sheet you are planning on numbering. (reply if you don't understand that part) Then you must save that as a .csv file. Next open your layout in InDesign and put text fields where you prefer your numbers to be. Then choose "Data Merge" under the "Window" menu. Click on the arrow in that pallet and choose merge data. Here you will point it to your .csv file that you created. From here it will show you all your column headings. You need to assign those to your text fieldson you layout. Once that is done, have it finish the merge. It will create how ever many pages is required to complete the merge. Sounds difficult but it's simple. You end up building a nice data base of frequently used numbers such as "1-500", "1-1000", etc.. Hope this helps
