Is there a way of setting up a text variable in CS3 for page references. I anticipate these guidelines I'm working on will end up growing quite a lot and it's gonna be an eternal pain in the ass if I have to keep going back in and adjusting the page references.

Check out the Type menu > Insert Special Characters > Markers

Which version of indesign are you using? duckofrubber's solution doesn't do what you want it to.

The reason I ask is because CS4 has a features for this specifically, but you might be shit out of luck if you're running an older version.
Here's a link that might help you out:

Yeah CS3 unfortunately, I used to listen to the ID secrets podcast and thought I remembered them saying it was a pain. I'll try out that free script I think. Thanks for those.
