Abstract

A fully automatic computerized pagination system and method for paginating printed directories is provided. The system and method use a computer process which comprises a sequence of sorting operations which sort and position the entry items based on specific parameters relating to the size, shape, type and page format directory rules. The sorting operations are performed on the input data automatically and in sequential phases of a programmed sequence, so that when the operations are finished an entire paginated directory is produced.
