Automatic sequencing of numbers - say the inventory by 5

Is it possible in InDesign CS3 from 5s?  or 10s?  Or something other than 1?

I have a table of 10-15 line where I need every line to increase by a number that is not 1.  It is 5 or 10.  And I have 300 pages of these tables before manual is a painful prospect.

I would be grateful for any ideas.

I don't think you can get Indesign to do this. You might be able to achieve some kind of workaround method as having four paragraphs 'ghosts' that have numbers, but are painted in color 'paper' so that they does not print, but I doubt that it is the best solution.

One idea would be to create a series of numbers in a program that does this kind of math - tell Excel, for example - and import (or copy and paste) this strain in Indesign.

  • Is automatic and Table numbering in the Document to multiple sections

    I want to set up automatic figure and table numbering that includes a reference to the current section number. (Figure 2-1 = the first figure in article 2; Table 3-2 = the second table in Section 3). I understand how to do this with styles if I had to work with a collection of documents with defined chapters. How can I do this in a single document with a number of defined in section?

    Is the only way to define the styles in the list for my items?

    I'm afraid you're right. You can include the numbering of the chapters in style with the numbered list, but you cannot include section prefixes. I think that you will have to use the method you suggested.

  • Maintaining the automatic numbering in the text variables?

    I have typeset manuals that often have several levels of headings in a single chapter. The editor I work has a style where the first 3 levels, or of the positions will be numbered, 8, 8.1, 8.1.1. No problem. Set up the paragraph styles with auto numbering, each title to another level added for automatic numbering, and it works like a charm. The only problem is that common titles are also supposed to include these numbers with the topics. The left page, the title of the chapter, is so good because I can just insert the chapter number before the current title paragraph style text variable: 8. "chapter title." But the right page must indicate the chapter number, first number of lower level and title (8.1 "topic"). When I use a text for this variable, the numbering created by the original paragraph style disappears from the topic. If I give the leader running his own style of paragraph numbered on the master page, it will always tell '. " 1,"even when the topic changes because there is nothing for him say to start a new number. For my current project, the first sublevel of the section change every 4 or 5 pages. So I'm hoping someone can help me find a way, I don't have to do it manually. Can inDesign keep autodial? Can anyone recommend a script possible or plug-in? All comments will be welcomed with gratitude!

    Thanks for the question. I saw this problem, but never had the need to work around him... until now!

    Variable text header running InDesign cannot capture the numbering of the paragraph.

    To work around it:

    Implementation:

    To create a character style to be used as a style nested within the lower level paragraph style. For testing and editing, assign a color of character; for use, change the color of the characters None or paper.

    To create a cross-reference format that captures only one paragraph Autonumbering.

    Create a character-style-based running header text variable to capture the reference; insert it into the master page.

    Use:

    * At the end of the lower level heading, insert a special character the end Style nested here.

    Continuation of the nested end marker style, insert a reference to the paragraph, using the single paragraph number format.

    The cross reference will be the color of the characters of the nested character style "fakednumber".

    The variable based on the character style to a running header text will seize the number of referrals.

    * For final hand, change the color of the style of characters fakednumber None or paper.

    Notes:

    Cross reference is placed at the right end of the paragraph of title rather than at the beginning, to avoid moving the header text. If he has withdrawal is sufficient between real auto-nombre of the paragraph and the beginning of the title, it would be possible to insert the cross-reference it.

    * Because the cross-reference occupies space on the line of position even when it is invisible, remember that it does not cause the line to be returned on a new line. You can set the size of character fakednumber style property as a very small, same font size reduce the horizontal scale, in order to minimize the risk of a new packaging line, as well as defining its color to None or paper to make it invisible.

    * When preparing a book for final hand, you can change the character of the fakednumber style definition in the Source of the Style file and synchronize it with all the other files in the book, or you can perform a search and replace across all files in Notepad to replace the instances found visible from fakednumber with the invisible style.

    * To simplify the modification of the definition of fakednumber from the visible to the invisible, consider creating two files of model to this end; one contains the definition of visible, the other contains the definition of the invisible. Load character style definition in the style source, and then synchronize the character on the book styles.

    Mission possible:

    * To simplify this task in the future, nag Adobe do running variable header text capable of capturing the numbering by filing an official request here: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form.

  • How to make the page numbers see the v.5.6.2 Pages automatically through the document?

    MacOs 10.11.4, v5.6.2 Pages.

    How can I make Pages automatically page numbers?  I want to be able to scroll through a multipage created from a blank template document & print specific pages.  Have sought and found answers on paging, but no address my question.  JV

    Pages v5.6.2 dislike doing anything automatically. Page numbers are shown to you when you scroll through a document:

    1. Associated with each thumbnail in this display mode
    2. By inserting the page number in the header or the footer

    That's all for v5.6.2 Pages. Whenever you want to print a specific page, you will need to check the Pages: of the _____ to the _____ in the OS X Print Panel and specify the same value for each entry field to print the page in question. There is no automatic printing of selected pages in the selection of this Panel paper handling.

    Pages ' 09 v4.3 would show the current page number on a lower status bar, with or without page numbers inserted in the header of document/footers. This view could be clicked, and it would change to a text entry where we could fix the jump to page number.

  • How can I remove the inventory numbers from a list of dump of the catalog?

    Hello:

    I've been watching way too long code and really can't figure out how to do a dump of the catalogue list without showing the numbers on the right (they appear in brackets).  Actually, I'm not even sure if it's an inventory number, given that the site has no inventory 15, but next to the item to a category, it shows "(15) banks.

    When you do a {module_cataloguelistdump, -2}, which is the number that appears next to your category (in brackets) and how can I remove it?

    I'd love to help someone can offer.  Thanks in advance!

    Please provide more information in this case. Your developer has created a really clever way of counting of products in the catalog and adding the number to the menu items.

    The JS code that does this is here childtocherish01.businesscatalyst.com/javascript/scripts.js

    This is the code:

    catalogCount: function() {}

    If (($(".prodDumps").) Size() = 0) {return ;}

    $("body") .append (")

    ")

    $(".prodDumps_li").each (function () {}

    var $targetli = $(this);

    var $targetAnchor = $targetli.find ("a");

    var $targetAnchorText = $targetAnchor.text ();

    var $targetUrl = $(this).find("a").attr ("href");

  • Months of searching for numbers on the sheet

    Hello all and thanks in advance.

    I have tabs at the top. DATA (sheet 1), JAN (sheet 2), FEB (record 3), etc. until the end of the year.

    Data sheet will be the months on the left now I want care to go to the form to correct month and takes the total of the column relative to the other leaves and place in the correct cell line. (I've been copy paste, but I know there is an easier way to do this, so I turn to the people who know the numbers unlike my lack of knowledge.)

    On the leaves of the month, I would also like to highlight the line that are sat and Sun.

    Thanks again everyone for their help.

    Rich

    In the material master

    Hi, NN,.

    You will have a Table for each month. Each Table must have a different name. Your summary table lists more than 12 months, then I would say the table name from each month is named with the name of the month AND the year.

    The monthly tables may appear on separate sheets, or the same sheet. The key, as far as the formulae are concerned, is that each Table can be identified by its name.

    The following example includes only the table for April 2016, named "APR 2016", I assumed that the total line will be row 33 on each table of data collection, but wrote the formula to allow the placement of the line totals in other places. The lines for most of the actual days have been hidden and has not been designated, as these labels have no role in the operation of the formula.

    The TOTALS is defined as a footer line. The formula, in the columns showing a value is SUM (a) where 'a' is the letter of the column to be added. (The two values of zero have been entered manually for example).

    The table has a unique formula, entered in cell B3 and filled with right and until the last line for which there is a Table whose name corresponds to the label in column A. For example, the formula has been met only 3 online.

    B3: = INDEX (APRIL 2016: $A$ 1: $ 33, MATCH $N ("TOTALS", APRIL 2016: $A, 0), GAME ($ 1 B, APRIL 2016: $1: $1.0),)

    Syntax:

    INSTRUCTION (range,-l'index of the line, column-index, index of the surface)

    range: all of the cells in the source table

    the index of the line: the number of the start line to get the value. This is provided by the first statement of the GAME.

    the index of the column: the number of the column from which to get the value. This is provided by the second statement to MATCH.

    the index of the surface: omis. By default, 1. There is only 1 area of application of this INDEX, all of the source table.

    MATCH (image search-search for, - where - method)

    EQUIV function returns the position in the list of the search for value.

    First case:

    search for: TOTALS text

    search - where: column A of table source

    method): 0 means finding the exact value.

    Second case:

    search for: the text contained in the cell of line 1 of the specified column. That form is completed on the right, the increments of the column by one for each stage.

    search - where: line 1 of table source

    method): 0 means finding the exact value.

    The formula should be changed for each new line. Three references to "APR 2016" should be changed to match the name of the table to collect this row grand totals. Once edited in column A, the formula can be filled right and automatically adapts to his new position.

    Note: The duration value in column F of the table of the month wouldn't transfer and keep the same formula in column C of the summary table. Any attempt to restore the format to match your example resulted in a triangle of error.

    Kind regards

  • How can I get the product key when missing / or fainted at a group of letters and numbers on the Microsoft product labels?

    I am able to see some numbers and letters of a product on the Microsoft label key I bought and you must activate the product. Does anyone know how to find the product key otherwise?

    Your response is much appreciated!

    Hello

    If vista is preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.), this should help you:

    In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • Numbering of the quiz in the pool slides

    Is there a way of slides of the numbers in a question pool (random questions) quiz, use of voiceover to say the number of slide of questionnaire, which would be in the order number issues as they are presented to the learner?

    "Is there a way of slides of the numbers in a question pool (random questions) quiz, using voice over slide of questionnaire number, which would be in the order number issues as they are presented to the learner to say?"

    I think I understand what you are after.

    You already install your pool, added questions and random question slides placed on film:

    It is perhaps too 'rudimentary', because no programming knowledge have been involved, but if you add normal slides between the random questions will allow you to build the correct order for the voices on:

    A sequence number is presented, then a question at random 1, number 2 of the sequence, question 2 randomly, etc.

    I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences. Help! Please, I beg you!

    He he he. You gave him right at the end! "Absolute page numbering" vs "Section numbering" is just for use in InDesign itself - when you go to a certain page or print a range of pages. We call her 'View' for nothing. If you insert a page number, you will see that ID actually correct poster - whichever you choose, not the absolute number of page of the document.

    It is harmless (given that your document will print, index and reference just perfect) but if you mind... 'Show page number' value by default, "Section numbering".
