Insert Pages not numbered in existing Document

Hello

Some new user with InDesign here and we hope, this question makes sense.

I created a student handbook in InDesign and have managed to set up automatic numbering of pages and everything works fine. However, we now need to create a manual of the instructor who has need to have done the following, and I have no idea how to do to achieve this goal:

We need to insert a left page in each Board that doesn't have page numbers (page which will be used for notes) which will not affect the existing page, numbering scheme. So basically we are going to be doubly pages in the manual but want to keep the page numbers identical to the right hand pages in each Board. Instead of pasta spread are numbers like 1-2, 3 and 4, etc., they will now have to be X-1, X-2, X - 3 (where X is some numbers).

Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

Hi Sarah,.

as I can see in the title of this thread that you want to add pages.

If we assume a document unique pages like this where automatic numbering is dictated by the master A:

And if you want to achieve this:

Then run the ExtendScript following (JavaScript) to the InDesign Scripts panel:

// AddOnePageBeforeAnyPage-AddSections-RenumberPages-SinglePageDocument.jsx
// Uwe Laubender

What I do not understand yet, is your numbering scheme for normal pages.

If you use A master for automatic numbering can you you just add "-2" to the automatic number to achieve:

etc.pp 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2.

The Master has:

On the normal page 4:

My script will simply pick up the automatic pagination of master A.

Master 'None' will apply to the new pages for notes.

If you want to introduce the numbering of the pages 'notes', the script should be expanded to the addition of new sections and a different numbering scheme.

Important notes:

1. you can Cancel the entire script in a one-time action.

2. I have developed and tested the script with InDesign CS6 v8.1.0, but it work also with CC 2015.3.

3. If you want to print of pages or if you want to export the pages in PDF format, you must use absolute page numbers of the document like this:

Example:

+ 2, + 4, + 6, + 8

to print the pages 1 to 4 (and not the notes).

If you want to print or export the notes 1 to 4, do it like this:

+ 1, + 3, + 5, + 7

+ 1 + 8 will give you the notes as well as regular pages 1 to 4.

Numbers of absolute page in the PDF export dialog box:

    Documents may have multiple streams of text. Each stream has a tag and an automatic connection property. When filling a stream on a page, a new page is created only if the automatic connection is enabled.

    To display these properties:

    1. CTRL-click the text frame to select it
    2. Choose the Graphics properties object
    3. If the text frame tab is not already displayed, display it.

  • Insert page numbers

    I just started using Microsoft Works Word processor. Why a feature for a long time in Microsoft Word (insert page numbers) does not work?

    Microsoft Works supports page numbers: it is in the header or the footer.  You don't mention what version you have. Header, footer, Page #: Click viewon the Menu bar at the top of the screen. Click on headers and footers to. Type the text that you want in the header or the footer in the appropriate window. (You can add page numbers to your document by typing& p in the header or the footer windows. After the & p or other text that you type in these windows to left-, Center-, or justify right page number or text, type & l,& c, or & r . (You can also use& f for the file name of your printed document automatically in the header or the footer). Here is an article on how to start the page numbering on page 2 rather than on page 1 in severalhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/76167versions, but the instructions you also lead to where you need to add page numbers.  Microsoft Word is a more sophisticated than Microsoft Works program and has many more features (and cost more).

    Assuming that you do not want to pay for Microsoft Word or any of the Office Suites, I recommend to download and install the FREE OpenOfficewww.openoffice.org , which includes many of the most popular Microsoft Office products (Finally, programs that do the same things, but not really Microsoft) which a writer who is a comprehensive word processing program and can do almost everything that Microsoft Word can do (and more Microsoft Works can do) - including the numbering of the pages.  This is a great set of programs and again, they are FREE, so you have nothing to lose by trying of their and see if it will do the work for you.  I am sure that you prefer them on Microsoft Works and some people even they prefer on Microsoft Office (even if I personally prefer Office - probaby because I'm used to it as much as anything else).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • AppleScript/Pages can not find the open document

    This very simple script will not work:

    Tell application "Pages".

    activate

    All of this has to do is give the name of the opened document. It says: "cannot get document 1. Invalid index. "And, Yes, there is an open document.

    This behavior deteriorated. He worked a few weeks ago and then become increasingly more broken. It's the same thing with the numbers.

    That's happened? My Applescript is corrupt?

    It works very well here:

             tell application 'Pages' to return before the document name

  • Insert Page breaks in Documents

    I need to insert page breaks in some documents and cannot find information on how to do it.  On win 98 it was control (enter) but this does not work on Vista.  Can someone help me on this stupid problem, please?  I would be Greatful SO I can at least do SOMETHING with Vista!

    Without knowing the program, it is impossible to tell you how to make a page break (they are all different).  Notepad or Wordpad supports the pagebreak feature (CTRL-enter as you say for Microsot Word {version today as well} and a few others that I wasn't aware that it worked in Windows 98 supplied "processing" programs more than it does today).  Maybe you were using a different program, and then (as Word or WordPerfect or Works or something like that).

    If you have no Microsoft Office (so do not Microsoft Word), then I strongly suggest you download the OpenOffice free at www.openoffice.org , which reflects a large part of the core functionality of the Office (with the exception of Outlook) and has a program called writer which is a program of processing excellent - better by far than what comes with Vista.  It can even open and work with Microsoft Office documents (even those of 2007 and I believe that the beta of 2010).  It will certainly have a page break function (as well as MANY other features that come with the office suites only expensive (but again, this is free and despite this, it is excellent).)  If you do not have Microsoft Office or another suite purchased offfice, then I HIGHLY recommend you download and use this set of programs instead of what comes with Vista (although there are times when what you really need is an option such as Notepad - cheap and Notepad is also good for making batch script files if you are into that sort of thing).  But if you do a real word processor, you must definitely pass.  If you go, try CTRL + entry for a page break and if that is not working then check page break in helping get the correct keyboard command - but I bet it's the same thing.

    Don't be too upset that this means that you need a 3rd party program "do something with Vista.  OpenOffice is so much better that it is not yet a comparison value.  The truth is that products delivered with Vista are just not as good as some of those available on the open market (be it for a price or sometimes free).  I happen to love Vista Center backup and restore (but it's really good in more expensive versions of Vista (business and above)- and yet, there is a 3rd best product part out there for that as well (Acronis: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ but it is not free).)

    There are some Vista programs that may be useful.  Some people use Microsoft Mail and Microsoft Contacts as long as their email client (and customer contact) - Although many who start this way switch to Microsoft Live Mail (it's a little better than Microsoft Mail), and of course, if you have Microsoft Office, you should definitely switch to Outlook (which is MUCH better, but it costs money that the Office is not free).  As a free alternative, many use Mozilla Thunderbird http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ as, yet once, it is a better product with more features and options (and it's free Unlike Outlook).  The program Microsoft Search in Vista is very good if you take the time to learn how to use wisely and has need of no alternative.

    Remember that none of these other programs would work without Windows Vista (or some other OS) behind it - so it does not serve an important purpose.  You wouldn't be able to post on this site without Vista and a browser.  If you use Internet Explorer, it's kind of like using Vista because version 7 comes with Vista and cannot be added or removed (it's part of the base OS) - If you're probably using IE8 that was the upgrade (and a value of upgrade).

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the Pages and Numbers do not use the default printer?

    Recently, I added a second printer to my home network and selected as the default printer. But when I try to print, the correct printer is selected in the dialog box print only part of the time and apparently depends on which application to print from. I believe that Safari, Mail, Contacts and calendar properly use the default printer, then the Pages and Numbers and instead do not the old printer unless I have change the selection in the dialog box impression every time I print.

    How can I get Pages and Numbers to correctly use the right default printer?

    The problem that is happening on my machine (OS X El Capitan 10.11.2, 5.6.1 Pages and numbers 3.6.1) and my wife (running Maverick 10.7.5, Pages ' 08 3.0.3 and Numbers ' 08 1.0.3) and has persisted through a reboot. The old printer is a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600, accessible via WiFi. The new printer is a Brother MFC-7340 connected by USB to a Time Capsule that is accessible via WiFi.

    In the print... dialog you select

    View the Presets...

    in the menu presets. In the sheet drops down, uncheck the box marked

    Reset the Menu Presets for "Default settings" after printing

    Click OK. Then select

    or a custom preset that you created in the menu.

  • pl/sql insert if not exists

    Hello

    Is my version of oracle 11g

    I am trying to write a pl/sql where is check if the line exists, and if not insert.

    If its exists it returns the primary key.

    I have a table searchaddress that has the column searchaddress_pk, street, city, postal code.

    I have attached the package. The procedure works fine when it compares with all the columns in the table.

    I inserted manually 3 rows

    Postal code city searchaddress_pk Street

    1 large eh245gh London street

    2 London

    3 Street London

    If I pass all 3 values then it returns the primary key 1 fine.

    But if I spend 1 or 2 values then its not not return primary keys and inserting each and every time.

    in the procedure if I only spend value city or city value London London and value high street, street to his insertion of each and every time.

    I expect to come back 2 when I spend in London

    and 3 when I go to London and high street.

    The procedure works only if I pass all 3 values.

    as I am new to pl/sql, looking for help if someone fell on the same scenario.

    Thank you

    I did not open your attachment zip - you can just paste the code in your message.

    However, I can guess your question. NULL is not equal to NULL

    You need something like:

    where (city = p_town or (city is null and p_town is null))

    and (street = p_street or (street is null and p_street is null))

    (postal code = p_postcode or (postal code is null and p_postcode is null))

    You need Acrobat application to secure your document with password. It seems that you use Acrobat Reader.

    Acrobat Reader is a free service and do not have this option.
