Default how to change starting number of consecutively numbered pages?

I have a publisher doc for job tickets consisting of 50 consecutively
numbered pages that are identical except for the page numbers. I need to be
able to change the page numbers each time I print these, as this is how I
keep track of customer invoices. In pub 03 it was easy- you jsut went to
"Tools" "Options" "Change starting page numbers" and it was done. Now we
upgraded to 07 (I am very sorry we did this) and it seems that we cannot
change our page numbers or we are limited to 1000 pages. I need to start my
new batch at 5951. The job ticket number text box is on the master page,
formatted as it used to be for pub 2003. Does anyone know how to do this?

You are mis-remembering. This option is in the View menu and you are wrong about
2003 being able to start at any number. It is 1000 in 2003 as well.
You need to setup a data base and merge your numbers that way. You can start the
batch number at any point. You can setup Excel or Access with consecutive
numbers in a few minutes. A tutorial here for Excel:
