How can I automate the numbering of pages between different files?

I use InDesign CS2

to set up a magazine.  The magazine has about 50-60 ads in it, and each ad is in a separate file, until the magazine is assembled.  There is a guide at the end of the magazine that show the basic information in a format of grid on advertisers in the magazine.  The formatting for the grid is controlled with tab stops to reinvest as advertisers come and go from point to point. I need to add a new column to indicate which page the ad associated with the entry of the grid is on, but I can't find a way to automate it.  The only solution I have found so far is to copy the phone number of the advertiser and to find other bodies in the magazine once it is assembled.

Is it possible to automate this task, remembering that these ads are all contained in separate files until the magazine is assembled? I find the help topics on the subject of indexes, hyperlinks, bookmarks, etc. to be very confusing and not very useful.

Ads can be placed in InDesign, because I have CS2.  Copy us the ad and paste it into the magazine.  This seems to prevent continuous history references because they must be put in place in the same file. Establish links once the ad is placed in the ad is useless, because it will be broken once the announcement is moved to another file and will take more time than to just do a search for the phone number.  I was oping there will be a way to put in a kind of anchor or something which will be updated automatically when an ad is placed in the magazine.

It depends on how save you or receive outside ads. These days most advertisers submit PDF, but that you're creating ads to identity card and recording in native format. Personally, I save the original work in .indd for future editing, but export a copy in PDF format and the place to display ads. You can place the PDF file in different numbers as much as you like and there is no risk of leaving anything out when you copy and paste.

In addition, more information on the guide as only the page numbers there.  I need to have page numbers fit in the existing format to make it work properly (obviously, I'll have to add a column). A table of contents can contain all of these additional data?

It's not what I was picturing, so, no, I don't think that OCD would help a lot.  If you upgrade to CS4 you can probably use cross references that are now a native function. In CS2, you might be able to at least semi-automate paging using the cross-reference of sectors de Jong script: Script for referrals, including a tutorial on how to use it (updated April 10, 2006)

I can't imagine an easy way to do it in any version, i.e. anything that doesn't require not to add some sort of marker to each announcement and perhaps update the table if things are moving (that part is not onereous - just run the script again). Maybe someone else has another idea.

  • How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    To view or to remove the read-only or system attributes, use the Attrib command at a command prompt:

    1. click the Start button, type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    2. to view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the command prompt.

    WARNING: If you remove the read-only or a file system attribute, it may seem like a regular folder and some customizations may be lost. For example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, customize the folder properties dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when you remove the read-only attribute.

    If a program cannot save files to a folder with read-only, such as My Documents, change the read-only to the system attribute by using the Attrib command at a command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------.

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command: attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not work correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. You can use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

  • How can I change the shortcut to move between the layers?

    I am well aware of how to move between the layers, using the keyboard.  I also know how to find my keyboard shortcuts (Edition > keyboard shortcuts).  I am unable to find, however, is where can I change the shortcut to move between layers.  I searched the whole shortcut list a few times now and I don't see it anywhere.  What Miss me?

    The answer is simple.  Shortcuts of Photoshop not all are editable. Some shortcuts cannot be changed.  ALT +, (Select low layer Visible), Alt +. (Select the Visible layer), Alt + [(select the next lower layer Visible), and Alt +](upper layer select next Visible) are the keys to select and scroll through the layers. Only the Visible layer can be selected with these shortcut keys.   This means that you cannot solve any of the visible layers in the Action in a relative way.  They would need to be address by the name of the layer that is a problem for the layer names need not be unique.  There may be more than one layer of the same name.
