Change the Page numbers and Sections in a book once it's underway?

CS5.5

10.6.8 MacBookPro

I'm working on a book of 450-500 pages with 4 chapters, 150 + images full page of text, end and beginning of information (title page, preface, introduction, table of contents, annexes, glossary, end notes).

I booked three chapters using the InDesign book feature, now works on the bits before and end and a final chapter (actually Chapter 1).

I watched the excellent video of Michael Murphy on the feature of the book, and it adds the page numbering and sections before he created the model. I make them after I have chapters in the book.

A question:

How can I add a separate paging once I have booked several chapters?
I also want to add an article and before any style i, ii, iii, etc., and after 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

Second question

How can I add the title of the book to all the pages in the left hand and the title of the chapter on the right pages now? I've never done it in InDesign, and my attempts after reading aid do not work even on a chapter outside the service book. In the book feature, I don't know yet how to start.

Thank you very much!

A question: same thing if you are working on a single document to create a doc of island new section where you want and adjust the figures. Numbering book will adjust when you synchronize the numbers in the book panel.

Two Qusruib: put this stuff on master pages. Title of the book is not likely to change from page to page, then type this information in a text block. To the chapter title, use a running Header Variable (see variables in the help).

  • How to change the page numbers after adding & save page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers

    How to change the page numbers after you add and save the page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers.

    These page numbers were initially created using Acrobat PDF header and footer.

    I have a 750 page pdf document that I've created.

    I have to sometimes the pages up and down after that I added the page numbers in the document by using the Header_Footer tool on the right column of tools.

    But after you save the document, if I get a few pages around, I can't go back and change the page numbers.

    I thought that the page numbers, as indicated in the header and footer must have changed automatically, but I guess that once its print, that it cannot be edited - is that, as what is?

    So I guess we should always first get a copy without numbers of pages before confirming the documents and the creation of an index.

    A way to remove these page numbers already there and add new page numbers.

    Its a lot of work to align 750 court documents and then realize that you must move some and then realize the page numbers cannot be changed and thus begin to do this all over again to compile which can take about 10 hours.

    My question is quite simple, but I hope that overall, I got my point. Sorry if I made it is too complex.

    If no simple way, want to know if anyone has another different tool or a few recommendations to better highlight what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you for your review and response.

    You should be able to update with tools - Pages - header & foot-

    Update... It not work for you?

    If this isn't the case, then try to remove from this menu and then re - adding them.

  • Change the Page numbers in the index

    Hello

    I have a catalog and I added two pages in the middle of the catalog. Now, due to the addition of two pages, I need to update the page numbers on the index with the new page numbers. I only need to increase each of the page by two numbers, but that starts only at a certain point. Thus, for example, on one of the index I have, 1-70 page numbers may remain the same, since the two extra pages were added AFTER page 70. But every number after 70 must increase by 2.

    I have a find and replace script. I create a table in excel and drop into the document. The script then takes any word or number that is listed in column A and replace it with what is in column B. I used initially this script to find and replace in the catalog product codes, and it worked great, because all the product codes were quite unique.

    Try to use this same script to change the page numbers, but she totally fizzled. The problem is that the same number is repeated later in the table, so the script has the table constantly replace all numbers with the first two. So, here is a small sample of my table:

    Col Col B

    423 425

    422 424

    421 423

    420 422

    But when I run the script, here is what it will turn into:

    Col Col B

    423 becomes 425 425

    422 becomes 424 424

    421 becomes 425 423 becomes 425

    420 becomes 424 422 becomes 424

    Because it alters the table, all corresponding numbers in the document then will increase to 425 or 424.

    Is there a way to ensure that the script does not change the information in the table that she uses as a reference?

    Here is the script below. I didn't write (makes a very nice person on these forums) and don't know anything about the scripts.

    the_table = app.selection [0] .tables [0];
    app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
    with (app.findChangeTextOptions)
    {
    caseSensitive = true;
    wholeWord = true;
    }
    app.findTextPreferences = null;
    app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    for (row = 0; row < the_table.rows.length; line ++)
    {
    If (the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence == ")
    continue;
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = the_table.rows [row] .cells [0] .silence;
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = the_table.rows [row] .cells [1] .silence;
    app.activeDocument.changeText ();
    }

    Thank you very much!

    It should work, but make sure you do backup first. I'm not going to say once: first make a backup copy. Yes, I said that you should make a backup first!

    Copy the following script, paste it into an editor appropriate - Adobe ESTK which comes with InDesign is good enough. Save it as "omgwrongnumbers.jsx" in your user Scripts folder. Select as little text as possible, the script will be blindly increment (or decrement) all numbers in the range. And then double-click the script runs.

  • Find/change the question numbers and create the Table of contents

    Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style so I can use them to create a Table of contents page.

    The sample numbers

    #12345

    #12345-5

    #12345-20

    #12345-ABC

    #12345/N

    I tried to enter #^? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? in the search/replace and but it is exactly 5 characters after the sign #. I wonder if you can find all characters starting by # and up until the last characters.

    Once I found all item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style to have these characters after the sign #? Because I only want to show item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.

    In addition, I have InDesign CS2, which have no function GREP maybe I can do this without the GREP?

    I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

    Are your numbers by themselves in a separate paragraph? OTHERWISE you can not USE the table of contents feature to list all the numbers.

    If are, then just look at # in find/replace, then set it to change formatting a new paragraph style (you must create this style in CS2) that you want to include in the table of contents, then as you say, you can use find/replace once more on the history of the TOC to remove the # of all numbers.

  • Change the page size and get the error on the booklet. Why? Only in CS6...

    Why when we work with a material to many pages, and all pages have the same measure and change the size of each page (in file-> Document format), we can generate more booklets? I tested version CS5 and it worked perfectly in the version CS6 gives the error:

    "The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet printing only works with documents that use consistent page size. »

    I checked all the pages and all have identical dimensions between them.

    Take a test.

    Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will work correctly. After that, go to file-> size and change the size of the pages page. Now try to create a booklet. Will give an error.

    I tested in a couple of Mac...

    Peter is right, that this problem is not being solved in the hotfix released today.

  • How can I add two pages just before page 7 of the book, which will change all the page numbers that follow?

    Hello

    I'm close to finishing a book of 257 pages.  All pages are numbered automatically down, and I spent a few weeks carefully constructed an Index at the end of the book that has all the right page numbers listed for everything.  So whatever I do, I can't change my page numbers.

    But at this late stage, I would like to add a few epigraphs (quotations) in four or five places (I just got this idea today, I'm afraid).

    Is it possible to add a few pages here and there (I will add two pages at a time, I know, or he'll hit all the pages that follow, half of them designed to be left, and half designed to be on the right - off) that are not numbered, and that will not affect the numbering of the following pages?

    Kind regards

    Malcolm

    It is not Automatic way. If you are ready to have unnumbered pages which are not included in the number of pages, you can, for each page the inserted value

    (1) select the first page after the pages will be added

    (2) in the menu pages palette, use the Options Section and number and the page number of started with the value what it is already. In this way, adding pages will not affect the numbering.

    (3) in order to avoid conflicts with the new pages page number, set their numbering on something else as 1,2,3. (as i, ii, iii, for example)

    For later use, you can configure your index with the indexing of InDesign tools, if a false problem, as you would have been able to add the pages and then re - automatically generate a correct index.

  • I'm trouble getting the automatic page numbering and TOC to play nice.

    Hello

    I use Indesign CC 2014.

    I created a book, consisting of several separate Indesign documents. The page number for the majority of the documents resets to 1, even though the settings are correctly defined:

    1st Screenshot at Aug 15 15-56-14.png

    The screenshot above shows the second document in the book. The page numbers in the document are properly leaving page 13, as long as the previous document finished at 12.

    But see how the book file shows the numbers restart from 1. And they do the same thing on the table of contents:

    3rd Screenshot at Aug 15 16-03-15.png

    Here are the numbers .indb option settings:

    2nd Screenshot at Aug 15 15-59-45.png

    I think I have these configured correctly, and yet the book file shows each page 1 reset.

    All the documents have the same exact Document number Options, as I showed earlier.

    I even tried to create a file of book .indb nine, but the problem remains.

    I sent the .idml the version files to a friend who has Indesign cs5, and she said they were numbered everything correctly on the two real pages and in the table of contents - she had absolutely no problem on its version. So there must be another parameter/overide/bug on my system that causes this problem.

    I'd love help on how to fix this please.

    Thank you

    Problem solved!

    I came across this post (Re: automatic numbering does not work in the files of the book of) and the fix was: preferences-> General-> Page numbers and put it in the Section numbering. I had already been advised to have as absolute numbering, but once I changed it, the problem is resolved.

  • Minimizing the differences between the print document page numbers and page numbers fixed ePub format

    Hi all!

    I'm currently involved in a project of ePub format fixed relatively simple. I almost completely finished with the file, but I see for export, only the page numbers in the table of contents for navigation begin numbering at a point different than the print document.

    I certainly don't expect the software ideally know exactly where I want the numbering to start, but I was wondering: is there a way to change the starting point of the navigation table of contents so that I can select the starting point? Here's a screenshot of the situation I describe, taken on my iPad mini using iBooks. A fix for InDesign would be useful, I am very willing to modify the code. Please let me know what additional information can help.

    Thank you very much

    I don't have a good answer for you on that I've been unable to get this works as is suspected.

    The next update will include support for a list of the fixed layout pages and to my surprise that it was unsuccessful in the evolution of the Navigation table of contents page (right) numeric values that you see.

    Those who seem to come from literally the index of the XHTML file where is the target of the table of contents. If iBooks is unable to find the target it displays the entry under '... ».

    Where the list of pages seems to make a difference on the iOS7/iBooks, is when you're scouring the pages in display mode page it will display the value of the entry in the list of pages... which is now generated from the string of InDesign page number in a gray oval.

    Maybe this has changed to iOS8/iBooks or perhaps other readers it manage differently - I never had the chance to try it on other players.

  • Page numbering and the Table of contents

    I have a book containing 23 document files. Document files contain the page numbers in the footer.

    One of the document file is a generated table of contents (TOC). Unfortunately, the generated page

    the number in the table of contents do not match the numbering of the pages in the files. Here are the details:

    • The title page, in a file by itself, is not numbered
    • The frontmatter, distributed in five cases use lowercase Roman (i - xvi)
    • The body of the text in the remaining 17 files is digital (1-243)
    • The generated TOC uses cardinal numbers of the book as a whole. For example,.
      Chapter I is numbered correctly in the footer from page 1. However, he is listed in the table of contents
      as starting on page 19, because this is the file real 19th in the book. I put the document numbering
      This file from 1 properties and properties of Page numbering for the book as a whole to
      be "continue."
    • The style of the table of contents entries is correct. In other words, the frontmatter uses a tiny Roman and the
      chapters use Numeric

    I tried to regenerate the table of contents, but this did not help.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what is the way prescribed to do?

    OK, I continued to read and this is what I found:

    Set the numbering style in the document, and not in the book that we told you. Format > Document > numbering. Choose Arabic or digital. Repeat for the various chapters.

    Save and close the chapters. In the book file, click with the right button on each chapter and choose Configure XXX. This is where tell you the book to continue the page numbering or restart at the 1.

    Once this is done, update your address. From there, if there are issues, we rely on the logic of the Fm we use every day, and each of us can help you solve.
