cross references and styles of character

• Cross-references and pulling exactly the text you need

  Hello, my question today concerns the references.

  My problem with the referral system is that, in its present form, it can be quite rigid. Essentially, I need only a small amount to be drawn from the cross reference which is nt specific anywhere in the paragraph of the text.

  My first idea was to develop a format that would be part of a paragraph ONLY text that has a style CrossRefNo character called (in my case), which is just a character style empty developed purely for this purpose. However when you use the

  < name cs = "" > < / CS > definition its plain enough that it is not infact extract text which is a certain CStyle but rather the text found in a certain formatting style (which seems a little redundant next to the button below which gives you the ability to apply a character style to the reference). So if you only use this format unless you type something in the field, it will produce no real text.

  I'm looking for is essentially the objects they used to build the formatting code cross references.  If they have already available from 10 items or if it is extremely restrictive.  Is there a type of < foundText = theTextWithinThisParaThatIsFormatedWithThisCharacterStyle = "CrossRefNo" > < / found text >

  Thank you! and please let me know if it belongs to another jurisdiction.

  You are right that InDesign CS4 references this is impossible. However, dtptools.com plugin commercial references can to extract only the text that is tagged with a character of a paragraph of the source style.

• Cross reference options

  Hello.

  I had a problem with my cross references and I was hoping to get the answer here.

  My problem is:

  When I'm adding a cross-reference in my document and to include the full paragraph, and page number, it says 'paragraph name page XX' most of my documents are in Norwegian, so I wonder if there is a way to chanage the language or phrases (""page "in this example) which are automatically generated by indesign for something in my language?

  Thanks for any help

  Rune

  You can create your own layout for reference.

  In the hyperlinks Panel menu, choose define cross-reference formatting.

  Select the format on the left that you want to redefine. Click on the sign that will duplicate the style and call it [Stylename] 1 +. You can rename it. Now use definition below box to refine the format in Norwegian name. Click OK.

  Now, change your reference to use this new format.

• What are the asterisks on FrameMaker xrefs imported from an xml file?  label cross reference *.

  I think I have a problem in my cross-references and hoping that there is a simple-minded answer (as I do something real dumb). I import the generated content of xsl and references appear in square brackets by * asterisks. If I double-click on a reference, it seems to open the appropriate file (may be an xml file before saving any files to fm docs).

  THE FOLLOWING XML CODE:

  < CrossReference XRefID = "IDapplications_tb" size = "fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on"

  "page #" srcfile="./CPU-1_Introduction.fm#IDapplications_tb"/ >

  HERE'S THE RULE:

  /*

  * Reference element

  */

  element "Reference" {}

  FM reference element "reference";

  "XRefID" attribute

      {

  is the property of fm cross-reference id;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  attribute "format".

      {

  is the reference property formula fm;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  }

  In the FM wysiwyg format, it pops up something like this (with the asterisks):

  Text label *.

  What do the asterisks mean? Thank you

  Your XML specified

  format = "" fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on page # ""

  but the model used when you open the XML file does not contain a cross-reference with that name, then format FrameMaker created for you with a few fake definition.

• Hundreds of broken cross-references

  Hi all

  I someone gave some FrameMaker work for me to do.
  Apparently he did ' Save As' on one or two files (documents in the book). "
  
  
  Now, all the links (100's of them...) of these files to go places in the book have been destroyed.
  
  
  He said open files in Windows Explorer, rather than within the FM Book window, then did "save under", and that it is used for doin it like this when using FM with UNIX.
  
  
  Does anyone know what * exactly * caused the links to be destroyed, and if there is a way to get all the back links (apart from the reissue of links one by one...).
  
  
  TIA
  
  
  -avi
  
  

  If a component file is included in a book, you can change the name of the file within the frame.

  Select the component file in the book, right-click, and select Rename. This process updates the links, cross-references and everything that depends on a relative path to other files.

  It can be used to do it this way, but it's the wrong way to do it in a file of any OS he is accustomed to using.

  You can quite easily get links by remaking the renaming of the right way and then redo the changes.

  If you're very lucky, you can add the files renamed to SaveAs to the book and use the file > links tool.

  You may also be able to get back them by editing in a MIF file version, although if you make a mistake, you're going to corrupt the file format. And you may be able to make the changes with www.frameexpert.com plugin special find/replace Rick Quatro.

• "BOLD" in the character tag does not work in the cross-reference text

  Hello

  I use cross references to introduce pieces of text that are repeated in two chapters. The referenced text includes characters of the text that is defined in a character tag. The chapter where I insert a reference to the text has the same exact character tag in his catalogue of character (I imported the character formats to be sure). But bold disappears in the cross-reference text. Any ideas on how to do bold appear?

  Thank you

  Tami

  Character formats or text attributes caused by Variables seem to be kept on the xref.

  What might work, however, is to put the text in a file external FM and bring it as a Medallion.

• I want to add tab stops to the cross-reference format to make my OCD, a solution of a single click, but the format never comes out right and using the tab key in the window of the dialog box to move the cursor to the next window.

  When you try to format my references I would add tab stops so that the format for the TOC works with the cross reference.  For example my format on the pages of reference is

  < $chapnum > - < $paranumonly > < $paratext > < $chapnum > - < $pagenum >

  With tab stops before the chapnum, between paranumonly and paratext and the next chapnum.  If the final result should look like

  4-16 speed vertical digital - primary Mode... 4-28

  Help?

  In the reference page, add a \t where you want a tab to be, i.e. \t<$chapnum>-<$paranumonly><$paratext>\t \t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

  Then, make sure that the format of paratag has the tabs tab placed at the correct locations.

  When you re - generate the table of contents, you should get the desired effect.

• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• Selection of parts and columns, or entire lines and apply the character style

  I am trying to apply character styles to certain parts/whole rows and columns.

  I can change individual cells with the following code...

  table = app.selection[0];
  if (table.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Cell) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Column) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Row) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Table)
  
  {
   table.rows[0].cells[6].texts[0].appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";
   }
  

  ... but when I try to select an entire line, I get the error 'Object does not support property or method' texts. "" "When I try one of the following two codes.

  {
   table.rows[0].cells.texts.appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";
   }
  

  {
   table.rows[0].cells.appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";
   }
  

  Anyone know how I can do the following?

  1. Select any row (or column) and apply the character style

  2. Select the last line (regardless of the number of rows in the table) and apply the character style

  3. apply the character style to specific columns (with theexception of the cells of two albums)

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Change this line:

  table.columns[a].cells.itemByRange(2,-1).texts.everyItem().appliedCharacterStyle = "chart orange";
  

  for the first 2 rows in each column

• Numbered update cross-references blocks InDesign CS4 CS6 and

  I have a major medical journal that has a hundred references, I met with the thought that the customer can insert or change the references. I was correct and the client has now several references to go, I have updated the first in the list numbered at the end and disappeared to "update the cross-refernce" and InDesign crashes. I tried this in CS6 and CS4 but both crash.

  You could try exporting as IDML and opening the IDML and saving it under a new name.

• Several cross-reference Formats

  Hello

  I have a document with figures and notes. I use paragraph styles to dial my digits. I do the same with another style of paragraph numbering my notes.

  So sometimes I add cross-references in the text of a link to the image. (So if I add an image somewhere in the document, all the following numbers of the figures will be updated and I can update references in the text with the command "update cross-references".

  (Basic on the numbering and references stuff can be found here: tutorial InDesign: automatic update of the references listed for books: lynda.com - YouTube)

  Now I can use the "Cross Reference Format" option in "Edit the cross-reference" Pop Up.

  If I click on the little feather I can choose a character to the cross-reference style. So far everything is ok.

  (See images)

  But now I want to have a different format of cross reference, every time I refer to a note (then I want something with an exponent). If I refer to an image, I want the italic text, but not exposing.

  If I change the format of the cross-reference to a single reference, it will change the format for all references.

  Y at - it any way I could use reference formats?

  Thanks for help.

  See you soon

  

  

  Ok. I just discovered. I thought I have just the options that are given by default.

  These are for example "numbering". But I can add another in the left column of the second screenshot. By Cross Reference Format I can use different character styles.

• Endnotes in Indesign using cross-references

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to follow this tutorial using the endnotes in indesign:

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html

  In what it suggests, what appears in the document ends up being the full note:

  1 Salmerón, Loren The Diet Guide New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002, page 56

  so that everything that I want to make is:

  1

  In his case, he could just make "1" appears. I note under reference dialogue format, his example shows "end note paragraph number. There is no option for me. Anyone know what it does I'm not understand?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Looks like this tutorial for step 4 details omitted the details of creating a cross-reference format. Click on the pencil icon indicated by a red circle in the screenshot of the dialog new references to open the cross-reference Formats dialog box, where you can create or edit cross-reference formats. Select the paragraph number in the list of formats provided by InDesign, then click on the '+' to paragraph number in double under the number of paragraph (1). Replace the note at the end of paragraph number name, as in the tutorial, or any name you like. Enable (check) for reference character Style, choose the style of characters superscript, you created as described in step 2.

  The "" notation in the reference format dialog box captures only the part of subsection the reference point to auto-numerotees. In your example above, it is supposed to be "1".

  Google search for terms like "InDesign create cross-reference formats", without the quotes, if you need more information about the several subtasks of reference mentioned here and in the tutorial.

• Changing the text that appears in a cross reference

  Hi, I'm kind again in this cross reference something set and I'm doing something that doesn't work, I tried a few things and did some research but nothing has really helped me.

  So I work in a book, and we have several exercises (exercise 4.1.4.2, 4.x and so on) that works with the ball and the numbering style. We refer to them in the text, so I wanted to my reference to say "(do l'exercice X à la page XX) but when I link the cross reference, since the original exercise is written with a letter from cap (year X) well, he wrote"making the exercise page XX X) "

  I read that we cannot force in small character in ID (hoped to apply a simple character style) so there at - it another way to make this work?

  I can change it manually, but then it appears a conflict in the Panel cross references

  To make it more simple, I just want the exercise automated 4.X to write exercise 4.X, is it possible?

  Otherwise, I will pray for a "tiny" for CS6 style option...

  Thanks in advance

  

  I don't do much with the refs (tried it out on the last project, however), but I think your problem is that you must change the type of anchor text anchor point, you need to create from hyperlinks context menu > new Destination of the hyperlink...

• Cross-references in InDesign does not convert the links in the PDF

  Hello

  
  I can't work on any model that... I have a number (75, to be precise) of references in a single InDesign file to other locations within the same file. In InDesign, all work well - I can go from destination to source and vice versa.

  When I export to PDF, about 20% of them (I did not, I'm afraid) jump me to a particular page... page 58 of the 61-page document. They should not. There two correct links to this destination, the rest should go to various other pages. All cross references are using heading styles. I have not used all the bookmarks (if I remember correctly - work has been done some time ago, but has only raised the issue).

  In some cases, there are destinations in the PDF files to the appropriate pages, so I'm fixing this way links. They cannot be the original destinations, because I have more than one destination per page in some cases. In other cases, there is no destination for the page required... they have not been exported, so I'll have to create destinations in the PDF file as well. I noticed that a lot of destinations end with "Anchor xx" (where xx is a number), others are a 5 digit number what is the difference?

  It has been a pain fix these, but will be even worse when the document is updated in a few months... I don't want to have to manually re-create each hyperlink each time. I also wanted to use InDesign for another project, but the files would be updated on a regular basis in this case and if there is a known bug, it would not be an acceptable load.

  Any suggestions? Oh - the graphics are almost all related, and most are anchored frames... don't know if this has an impact, but I noticed when picking topics cross reference that some were (chart) after the title of the topic.

  Thanks in advance,

• Cross reference is deleted after generation in FrameMaker 9

  Hello

  I use 9 FM on a Windows XP system. I update a book and created new formats for references to the chapters. When I insert a reference in one of the chapters, it displays perfectly; part of the cross-reference is bolded and part is in normal, black police. But when I generate the files, bold is removed. If I want it to show up properly, I have to open the X - ref, then click on replace.

  Some examples of references that don't work:

  Annex < "BOLD" > < Hyperlink > < $chapnum >, < focus > < Hyperlink > < $paratext >

  Annex "BOLD" > < < Hyperlink > < $chapnum >, < focus > < Hyperlink > < $paratext > < default ¶ font > page < $pagenum > <>.

  < default policy number > < "BOLD" > < emphasis > < Hyperlink > < $paratext > < ¶ fonts default > page < $pagenum > <>.

  I tried to place the < "BOLD" > in different places; nothing works. I have also asked another co-worker to try it too. She has the same question; It works fine when it is inserted, but after the generation of the "BOLD" is removed.

  Thank you

  Rosemary

  You try to combine several character formats, which create replacements, for example or or . Don't do that FM doesn't really work like that.

  Create a beacon of uniqueness with the full format you need for content and use that instead, for example annex<$chapnum>
