changing format of page numbers

Hi all

I'm doing a series of forms ncr with ID cs5 serial numbers. I have in the past just used the page numbers on the master page to make running serial number. The question I am runnning now is that the serial numbers need in a format such as: 0001, 0002, etc... Is it possible to format page numbers to look like that?

Thank you

I'm on a Mac:

In your control panel Page, highlight 1st page

Use the menu drop down (or right click)

Letter: Numbering & Options section

Under Style: Choose good numbering (see attach)

  • Word 2003's painfully slow when I try to change format, insert page numbers, etc.

    After the update was automatic, I have problems with Word 2003.  I deleted some registry data according to the instructions provided by Microsoft.  That seems to have solved the problem I had with recording and printing, but I still have a problem with most of the other functions.  For example, when I click format, click Font, it takes about a minute for the dialog box and another three minutes to apply the changes and close the box.  I tried to repair Microsoft Office, but to no avail.  Help!

  • 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.

  • 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 numbers need to change automatically when users add a new page to a form fillable

    In the headers and footers, I chose < < Page 1 of n > >. My form is a long page, but I have a button that allows you to create a second page if the user needs. However, if a user decides to create a second page, the footer does not '1 1' '1 of 2' on the first page and then "2 of 2" on the second page. "" Instead, the two say just '1 1'. How can I change this so that when users add new page, it changes the numbering?

    Thank you!

    This would require the use of a script that generates the page numbers

    automatically whenever the file is loaded or saved.

  • How to change the page numbers after adding &amp; 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 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).

  • 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.

  • CS3/CS4: How to get/change page numbering?

    I need to change the pages numbering in the document programmatically, but I can't find any information on this subject.

    The only thing I found is variable of kTextChar_PageNumber that I can use to insert in the text.

    Which of your interfaces should I use to change the numbering of the pages?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you have your UID page, then when you use GetPageString of ISectionList, by default you should also get the name of the section included. If you want to get bridge to this article - you can browse all and try to match with the pefix of the section of your page.

    Click the mouse cursor exactly on a Page number where it appears on a page.

    Set the color of the characters in the Type Panel.

    "Type" parameters are related to each field Photo text, the text of the Page text, text number of pages, which allows you to set the Style of individual text for each of these three "areas".

  • Enigma page numbering

    I am currently working on a hymnal where I have will import about 800 in PDF format, with each document imported as a page or two partitions. I put it in place in the ID like a book, with a few dozen files using chapters.

    Page numbers are where things get difficult. On average, each song is a page, but there are several cases where the songs are two pages. With respect to the numbering of the pages, I would be automatic, so that the numbers will change as you add or remove songs, and if the index is updated automatically as well. However, I can't think a way for page numbers move from a page at regular intervals to accommodate the songs on two pages. Basically, every song will have its own number, so it is not strictly page numbering in a traditional sense of the term.

    Any ideas?

  • CS5.5 - Page numbers in another type

    Hi guys,.

    Say I chose for the body of the text and the page numbers of my next book police Minion Pro, but I wish the numbers were in glyphs. Font numbers instead of the normal police watch, just as it is by default in the cast of the Georgia (you know, 1, 4, 7, 8 with beautiful top-down and bottom-up) which I use now. In the main body of the text, I can just change each instance manually - and maybe there is a way to automate this process, but it's okay as I won't have many figures in there (that's a photo book on Venice, I do).

    However, I did understand how to use other type in page numbers, because the letters that appear instead of on the Master Page humbers simply do not have the equivalent of "old figures".

    Before choosing a different font altogether for the page numbers, you have a tip on how to do this? I'm pulling some hair remains above this.

    Thank you very much!

    Go to the menu of the window at the top of the screen, then choose Pages. In the Pages panel that pop up (or?), right click on page 5, choose numbering and Section Options and uncheck "start the Section.

    Then one of two things will happen. (Either one) you will be satisfied with the result, b) you want to change the numbering format. (Case b), then right click on the first page, go back to the Section and the numbering Options and choose a new number format.
