I'm trouble getting the automatic page numbering and TOC to play nice.

Hello

I use Indesign CC 2014.

I created a book, consisting of several separate Indesign documents. The page number for the majority of the documents resets to 1, even though the settings are correctly defined:

1st Screenshot at Aug 15 15-56-14.png

The screenshot above shows the second document in the book. The page numbers in the document are properly leaving page 13, as long as the previous document finished at 12.

But see how the book file shows the numbers restart from 1. And they do the same thing on the table of contents:

3rd Screenshot at Aug 15 16-03-15.png

Here are the numbers .indb option settings:

2nd Screenshot at Aug 15 15-59-45.png

I think I have these configured correctly, and yet the book file shows each page 1 reset.

All the documents have the same exact Document number Options, as I showed earlier.

I even tried to create a file of book .indb nine, but the problem remains.

I sent the .idml the version files to a friend who has Indesign cs5, and she said they were numbered everything correctly on the two real pages and in the table of contents - she had absolutely no problem on its version. So there must be another parameter/overide/bug on my system that causes this problem.

I'd love help on how to fix this please.

Thank you

Problem solved!

I came across this post (Re: automatic numbering does not work in the files of the book of) and the fix was: preferences-> General-> Page numbers and put it in the Section numbering. I had already been advised to have as absolute numbering, but once I changed it, the problem is resolved.

    Why an I get the test page yellow and black with each print job? I have a HP PSC 1350

    Hi - I assume that the page that you see printed is the alignment page.  This happens usually if the alignment process has not been made.  All you should have to do is take the printed alignment page and place it face down on the scan scanner glass and press.  Who must complete the alignment process and eliminate the page printing every time.  If you have problems, try following the procedure described in this document.

    Hope that helps.

  • How to get the print page numbers in a report based on another report

    3 report 111-

    Can someone make me please how to do this?

    THX in advance
    Kumar

    Hello

    You can create all report queries three in a single report, create a separate query in the data model and then create the layout in the proper sequence as required.

    If you want to use separate reports only you can try the following:

    In the first report, use the shutter release after report and record the total number of pages of a table as a record.

    In the second report, extract the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to get the Page number for the second report.
    Also in the second report use the shutter release after report and update the record created first in the total number of pages + total number of pages of the first report.

    In the third report to extract the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to get the Page number for the third report.
    Don't forget to delete the folder created in the trigger after the third report table report.

    I hope this helps.

  • Not continuous throughout of documents automatic Page numbering book

    Since I upgraded to CS4, I can't my book do the automatic page numbering. Each document begins with 1 even though I chose "Continue the previous document" in the Panel book and "automatic numbering" in the panels of the document page. I put a few number of page in start page "numbering at..." or it won't let me on the Panel (saying "Invalid entry"), even if the automatic page numbering is selected. I have 'absolute to paging"checked in the preferences.

    Two choices. Select the page in the control panel and open the dialog box numbering and Section options. Uncheck the box for article of departure, or change the auto-numbering option.

  • Variations of glyphs for automatic page numbers?

    Hello

    Anyone happen to know how to use an alternate glyph for the automatic page numbering? OT police I use has an alternate glyph for the number '1 '.

    InDesign CS3 / MacPro

    Thank you!

    Jesse

    If it's just another character in the glyphs Panel, I don't think there is a way to automate that. InDesign can automate it only if it is configured as a stylistic set or a ligature, or an ordinal, a contextual alternate. Or a signature. Or something like that. In other words, if you can change via the OpenType menu (in Control Panel), then you can change it with a style.

  • I did the error page numbering; need help please

    CS4 IND, win7. I have a file with the pump and the price of parts and another with a fair price for parts. Starting price on page 1 of the pump (the cover page, the left side of page 2... etc.) up to page 48. Similar agreement with parts price file. Today I created a book file, so I can make a pdf and search for the reference numbers in the two files and make sure that they have the same price in both files. Now, I have discovered that the second file (price of parts) in the book begins its numbering of pages to 50. I want to be like the first file numbering page. (like before I did this book file.) I dibbed in absolute numbering of the sections and make me lost and frustrated. How can I get the things as they were before? Help, please.

    In the 'book page numbering options' accessible via the menu:

    Uncheck the box that says automatically update section and page numbers.

  • How to fix my error of automatic page numbering

    Hi all:

    I'm working on a book with many chapters and some even, I put every single chapter as an .indd file. Now, I need auto page all indd files and found that I made a mistake on my template file: I checked the start page, numbering at 1. When I add my files indd in a book file, cannot have continue a separate paging.

    I reset each document individual indd to automatic page numbering, but did not work.

    Appreciate if someone can help me to fix this, to avoid to set page numbers by hand for all indd documents.

    YEST, the numbering in each chapter files options is everything that is wrong.

  • When I try to print a page, I get the entire page of very low, either I get only part of the page. Which setting I'm missing?

    I am trying to print a page of a web page. If I check, 'reduced to fit' print / page setup, I get the whole page but small enough to be useless. If I uncheck 'reduced to adjust', I get only about 1/3 of the page. I tried the % function, and it only changes the size of the narrow portion I see already. How to print the whole page in a reasonable size?

    If Firefox does not use the entire sheet of paper, it can result from Firefox after having extracted the Windows incorrect paper size settings when reading data from the print driver. Compensation it may involve conclusions some mask parameters, but here goes:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste print and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) for each parameter which specifically mentions the problem printer, right click and reset The fastest way is to click with the mouse and press the r key on the keyboard with your other hand.

    Note: In a few discussions involving Brother printers, printer_printer_name.print_paper_data preference was established in 256 and when the user changed it to 1 which, in itself, solve the paper size. If you are using a Brother printer and see a 256 here, you can change the value by double-clicking it or by using the right click > modify.

    Any improvement?

    Well, in general JPEG format does not support several concept as a document page. Thus, each image in the JPEG file is saved in a single file. If you are considering of reduction of 2 images in 1 paper size (example: A4), you may need some image editor to do

    If you are looking for a mulit-page image format, TIFF can be a format suitable to use.
