copy/paste, "print", paste in from page, to to page

Result:

> print pages in range from: 1, 003

> print pages in range to 4

Now have I have two errors to fix: page 1003 to page 1004. Not nice. Who formats like this?!

-------------------

Also, some RPG books or encyclopedias I own have chapter that span like this:

p. 630 to p. 70 (book 2)

To me, now is unclear, is that 70 with a reset page count, or 670 for book 2?

Since I just now learned that a quotation standard somewhere outside Germany exists that omits leading numbers, I now need to manually check where it ends.

TL;DR:

Don't make me think, and allow for automation. So just write on more number.
