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.

  • Chapter numbers will appear in the table of contents with page numbers...

    First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers.  This forum is wonderful.

    I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.

    I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.

    To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Change the reference to the table of contents page to use the building block as well as the first page, which is <$chapnum>chapnum.<$pagenum>

  • Pages: automatic section / chapter numbering?

    Hi, how can I create an automatic section / chapter formatting & numbering like this?

    (Note: I speak NOT a list numbered with new numbers after each line break.) I want to have a certain numbering and style applied when I start a new section / sub-section / block of text.)

    Thank you!

    Hi Peter,.

    I suspect you'll find that the answer is simple "feature not supported."

    As far as I know, Pages does not support divisions of the document beyond the level 'Section' (or 'Chapter'). You need to investigate a different word-processing application.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Is there away to chapter numbers GREP of the text to the alpha numerials?

    We must change the numbers of chapter of the text to a number.  For example: 1 to 1. We tried a few Greps but not worked so far. We can find the words but we have hung up to change it to a number. If someone could give us some suggestions that would be great.

    The GREP will find the numbers without the (?)<=chapter), but="" it="" will="" also="" find="" any="" number,="" which="" probably="" isn't="" what="" you="" need.="" but="" your="" chapter="" numbers="" probably="" have="" a="" paragraph="" style="">

    Scott from a script idea is good, but I don't know how to create one, so I tend to follow the manual way (one day I'll get a few scripts...). Scott is the numbers of thought in words, or he would have probably thought of this...

    Could replace all instances of numbers with variable text word?

    Create a text variable for the number of chapter and in your GREP

    Search:? (((twenty)? |)) (30)? (forty)? (fifty)? (60)? (seventy)? (eighty)? (90))?) ? (\1)one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine|ten|eleven|twelve|thirteen|fo urteen |) Fifteen | Sixteen | Seventeen | Eighteen | Nineteen)

    {Replace: \x{0018} (it can be different, so copy / paste your first)

    Find format: regardless of your style of paragraph for the chapter number is

    If your items are set up and in order, it should replace all by the correct number.

  • I have a problem with the numbers. Help, please!

    I have a problem with the numbers. I am trying to create a formula that can add a cell only when another cell with a pop-up menu returns on a specific pop.  I can't ignore the cell if it is not on specific pop upward.

    assuming the cell with pop's cell A1

    and if the context menu contains items:

    YES

    NO.

    MAYBE

    and the value you want to add in cell A2

    You can add the value in cell A2 when the context menu is 'YES' like this

    = if(A1="YES", A2, "") +.

    where is the expression that adds other cells if you want

    could be another cell

    = If (A1 = "YES", A2, "") + B2

    or a range of cells

    = If (A1 = "YES", A2, "") + sum (B2, D2, G2:H5)

  • String to the Array.vi worksheet with negative numbers

    I was exploring a program posted on the developer zone titled "ClipboardtoNumericArray.vi" and noticed that it substitute 0 for elements with negative numbers. The 'String to Array.vi worksheet"working with negative numbers? If so, how?

    The problem is that your negative sign is not a negative sign.  This is the code ASCII 150.  I'll call it something like a "long dash", that's why it does not recognize the LabVIEW code.  A negative real sign you have in part E-6 is code ASCII 45.  And also why same Excel treats as text rather than a number.

    Where did you get the CSV file from?

  • Using a C DLL with complex numbers of Labview

    Hello

    So I would try to use the existing C99 to perform calculations, and for the functions code, the code accepts and returns type numbers 'double complex.   I have spent half a day to find out the hard way that Visual Studio does not complex.h header, so before you spend more time trying to compile a DLL, not done Labview even allows you to send and receive complex of a DLL call numbers?

    When I open the node to call a library function and go to settings, the closest return type I see is double 8 bytes, but nothing about the complex... so...   I am not even convinced that this will work... did anyone done this before?

    Thank you

    Yes, you can use complex numbers. See the example with properly called LabVIEW "" call DLL". There is an example here that deals with complex numbers. You may need to write a wrapper DLL, if.

  • BlackBerry 10 text Message Conversation with a Contact with multiple numbers

    Hello

    On my Z10, when I get a text from a contact with multiple numbers, is there a way to determine what number he sent? Similarly, after I send a text to someone, determine what number (or e-mail address) I chose when composing?

    Thank you!

    Hi annam.

    There is no way to see what phone number was used to send the message, if they use several mobile numbers. However, when you answer, it will automatically return to the number, he was sent by.

    Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Speed Dial idea (Contacts with multiple numbers)

    I would really like it if I could set time zones for which number call for each contact. For example, if George is working 2 PM to 5 PM, then when I click on his name at 15:00, then she should call his work number and any other time, his cell phone. In this way, contacts with multiple numbers can be easily called from a single entry. But then, it is perhaps too complicated and useless feature.

    You must enter all the numbers under the same name.  So for George, you should have an entry with his work, house numbers and mobile included.  Then to call George, simply click the green phone button and start typing G E O in the phone number field and its name should appear in the list.  Then, you can easily scroll to the correct number to dial.

  • After you rename a folder full of files using LR CC, I now have two of each DNG file with consecutive numbers providing unique names!

    After you rename a folder full of .dng and. MOV files using LR CC, I now have two of each file DNG image with consecutive numbers providing unique names. . MOV files are not affected. Activated with "Bridge" and found it said one is one Mac Application, either in the form of windows. I have Lightroom on Mac and Windows PC with local catalogues which are clouds synchronized (but never on at the same time). Could be the cause of this problem? It is possible that differ from the Mac and Windows version catalogs and their creative together via the Cloud technology synchronization can cause this duplication is obvious when all files are renamed by using a number of automatic sequence?

    Yes, my default sort criteria is by file name as my beginning of file names with a reverse date followed by a sequence number. I think at some stage I must have reproduced all the files on the Windows PC and saved with a different range of sequence numbers after the element of date filenames outside of LR. Sometime later I have imported in the Lightroom. When I decided to rename all of them using this naming convention, I discovered the duplication hiding behind different file names. This turns out to be a lesson on the practices of workflow systems.
