Chapter numbers automatic for chapters within a single document

I just got a question from a reader of my VQS. He wants to know how to "capture" the chapter number and chapter title to my chapters for footers in the document.

I know how to make a model that is used for every single document that each chapter. These documents are collected in a book. Chapter numbers are set to "Automatic chapter numbering."

But chapter numbers can only increase if documents are separate files assembled in a book. (At least, I think it's true.)

But what happens if circulate you a paper with all the chapters within this single file? How to set chapter numbers to change automatically for footers? I suspect that you would need a variable text style paragraph or character as a footer. But how you get chapter numbers advance automatically?

Would you use the bullets and numbering in the paragraph style?

I know how to do these. I wonder what people would do for their workflow.

You're right about the automatic chapter numbers - it's just one per doc.

I think that I use a separate running header (character style) variable and try to pick up the number in the title of the chapter, if it is there or add a number of non-printing 'tag' on the first page of each chapter, if it is not.

  • Excluding the chapters of automatic chapter numbering

    Screen Shot 2013-11-17 at 19.23.14.png

    Hi guys, first time poster!

    I need help.

    I've set up each of my chapters with automatic chapter headings (Type > text Variables > insert Variable > chapter number)

    So that part works fine.


    The problem I have is (as you can see in my screenshot), for my books, Chapter 1 begins in the 7th entry on the book panel. So, instead, Chapter 1 to 7, the chapter number. I'm doing this right? I can't find a solution. Must file as a table of contents and pages copyright etc is not in the compilation of the book? I want to export an entire PDF (what I know how to do) rather than having to connect a PDF file. I checked the "Document numbering Options" and under chapter numbering I don't see really an option to exclude the first entries of 4 or 5 and do the 7th in the list "Chapter 1".

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    The lower part of this Panel is for the chapters of the Document

    You can see you have configured automatic chapter numbers

    For Chapter 1, you should have

    You must choose whether to start chapter numbering in chapter: 1

    Then in your previous documents before

    You must configure them so that they start numbering in Chapter 1 of too - but use a different numbering style as A, B, C, etc..

    Or anything that works for you.

    Bottom line is you need to select first chapter in the book and start the numbering of Chapter 1.

  • Numbers automatically selects the "date format" for cells.

    Numbers automatically format selects 'date' of certain cells.

    I want to calculate simple interest due on the amount, the interest rate and number of days.

    When I input "number" format of the result cell and calculate the amount * rate * number of days divided by 365 always automatically shows something unwanted and the format "date." Furthermore, I'm not able to change the AutoFormat ("date") in "number".  How to bypass this automatic selection?

    Maybe you can share what, exactly, you enter in a cell.  A screenshot is also useful.

    Here's a way to do what I think you want:

    Enter amounts in cells B1, B2 and B3

    Select cell B6, and type (or copy and paste it here) the formula:

    =B2*B3*B1/365.25/100

    shortcut for this is:

    B6=B2*B3*B1/365.25/100

  • Creation of captions with chapter numbers

    Redesign of our guides and we trying to create captions for our figures and tables that include the chapter number as the figure is (i.e. Figure 3.5). The problem is that we do not use the book feature; each of our guides is contained in a single document, because some of our chapters are so short that it seemed unnecessary to place each in their own document. I know that if each chapter has its own document, we could create a paragraph style numbered list with a number as a Figure ^ H. ^ #. Is it possible to reproduce without real, separate document chapters? Up to this point, we had a separate paragraph for each chapter style (Figure 1. ^ #, Figure 5. ^ #, etc.), but some of our guides have received more time than we expected and which becomes more and more annoying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We use CS5.

    Review your document guide just like a list of several levels, as a plan, with chapter, section, paragraph, text, figure and styles of paragraphs in table. Number of any levels are important, such as chapter and figure. Set the styles of paragraph to continue numbers across stories and restart figures and tables after the previous levels. The number format for the paragraph style figure must begin with the text "Figure" followed by a space reserved for the chapter-level number, number then '. ', the space reserved for the paragraph in figure style.

    Google search for words such as 'tutorial InDesign multilevel numbered list' without the quotes for the good info.

  • Is there a reason why certain numbers automatically generated do not align with the text?

    I'm building a small book in InDesign and generated chapter numbers only display correctly aligned with the text of the chapter into two chapters. In others, they are slightly lower than the base line and print that way. They all use the same format title and list paragraph. (I even checked the Master Pages for objects that drag may interfere and see nothing.) Someone has seen this and can point me to a solution?  The original document was from the Pages converted to MS Word, so I tried to see if there are some strange characters which came with the conversion, but as you can see on the screenshot below, nothing shows up. Any help to identify the problem or a cure would be greatly appreciated.

    Steps to solve down

    I corrected the page options nubering for each document. Still nothing. Checked the substitutions and styles. Authorized Overrirdes. And that looked like, he had to start work and then I rememebered sometimes assignments may cause problems with numbers. Then I checked each document, erased again substitutions (manually... thank you Adobe for the actions Palette) so I ran chapter numbers all update and Pará, and... * Taaaaaa Daaaa * for this worked.

    Thank you all for your help and your patience so I worked through this. We have some people who work on the document, otherwise I would not have done assignemnts this early in the project.

    Thanks again.

    The possible sollutions are...

    1. Check your document page numbering options.
    2. Check your Styles and your lists.
    3. Make sure your models are "contuning to the previous" in the numbering section.
    4. Make sure you have your assignments checked or not related.
    5. Check that you have not applied for substitutions. If you erase them.
    6. Run "Update all numbers" or "chapter numbers and paragraph update" after you have everything checked.

  • Numbers automatically linking data sets

    Hello

    I have problems with parts of the data sets are grouped automatically by numbers (3.5) when I don't want that to happen.

    I found that number is automatically grouping different sets of data in groups of six. For example, condition 7 is grouped with condition 1, condition 8 with condition 2 and so on. I initially found it frustrating, because when trying to make a data chart, terms of 7 and 1 colors are the same, like 8 and 2, 9 and 3 conditions and so on. But when you try to change the color of groups to distinguish them individually (really annoying for large sets of data), numbers automatically change the color of the corresponding group as well (i.e. groups 1 and 7 are both blue color, and to differentiate them, I change group 1 to black.) Group 7 then also instantly changes to black). It's extremely frustrating.

    Is there a default setting that I can change so that never conditions are combined unless I have specifically to group them? It seems really odd that this defect exists in the first place.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is difficult to view the problem from your description (a screenshot would help), but it seems you have trouble getting a graph to look right. You can try clicking on it, then the rectangle to change data references, then experiment with this change in the lower left corner of the window of numbers:

  • For loop within a while loop

    I have for loop within a while loop... admission to the for loop N comes from the VI selection... the while loop I a condition essentially statement it stops just after to finish all the iteration in loop...

    Entrance to the N loop is bascially driven by a local variable... that's the problem Iam having:

    When I press the Start button to run the program... regardless of the output of the select VI is gives the N of the for loop, then the loop starts and then ends in place... and when the output of the select statement takes a different value (the N of the loop for) loop not work until I restart the program again... What can I do so that the for loop runs again for another value of N, the RUN program button is enabled.

    1. clean your diagram.  Style guides suggest keep the pattern of a single screen.  With a little effort, I was able to get your DB less than 1600 x 1000 pixels.

    2 then I can see (some) it happens all at once. This thing does nothing?

    3. local variables can lead to race conditions.  Output in Angle position may be a race condition, although is probably not what you wanted to do.  What does the wired local time at the moment present terminal meter? (Ooops! Two controls with the same name - which can be quite confusing as well!)  If you need or want two components of façade having the same text, use the legends.  Make the labels is different so the comic is more readable.

    4. having more than one Dequeue function on the same queue will lead to unpredictable results.  When an item is removed, it is removed from the queue and is not accessible to any other Dequeue function.  In parallel loops, you have no way of guessing which Dequeue will seize any particular element.

    5 use Boolean reverse instead of Select with wired False to true and true cable at the entrance to false entry. Better, just make the case of forgery in the structure of the case within the for loop the real deal. No required reversal.

    6. I was not looking for to determine the logic of the code within the structure of this case. It seems I could have posted a much simpler way to do this several weeks ago.

    7. use multiply from the Digital Palette rather than a node form multiply by 4 or 1.8. Uses less space BD and is much easier to read.

    8. as has been suggested, learn how to work the machine architecture and the State of producer/consumer.  They can make your life much easier.  Do not try to convert immediately to these models.   It's too much bite to at some point.  Learn how they work first.  Make a few simple examples.  Then rewrite this program in this format.  Probably faster than fixing what you have now.

  • How to choose chapter numbers in table of contents headers?

    Each new chapter title is in a table of one row and two columns. Column 1 contains only a large number (numbered style called ChapNum) against a shaded background and column 2 (shaded) contains the title of the chapter (Heading1 - which is NOT numbered; only the style of column 1 contains numbering.)

    The only exceptions are the Preface (a title 1) chapter and the table of contents itself (which uses TOCTitle so it will not appear in the table of contents). For both, the shaded column 1 uses a style called ChapNoNum.

    Table of contents specified only captures paragraph formats. Chapter numbers are not specified in the table of contents, so they are not captured. To capture the number and paragraphs of title, you must specify both formats in implementing TOC. For race number in the title, you must assign a paragraph format in the entrance of the number in the table of contents; This will cause the title to the number on the same line.
