Numbering Page icons to read "FC" - "BC"

Before the advent of endless bank accounts and "Imposition" plug-ins I was always wondering how to get my page icons to reflect the actual page they were, such as Front Cover = FC and Inside Front Cover = IFC etc. such as the following:


This trick works as well in Quark as it does in InDesign, you just need to go to a different place.

By typing the number equivilent to the letter in the alphabet i.e. A=1, B=2, AA=27 etc.
it's like binary oly with 26 places. Anyway I've done the math so you don't have to:

FC = 159
BC = 55
IFC = 6243
IBC = 6139

here's how it's done in InDesign



Have fun
