Number of incorrect chapter in numbered lists

I'm having a problem with lists numbered in a paragraph style.

What I want to achieve is quite simple - within each chapter of a book, I want numbers to be included among the "Chapter.FigNumber" for example:-

Chapter 1: Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 etc.

Chapter 2: Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2 etc.

I set up a paragraph to figure references style, using the following options: -.

The problem is that the program does not seem to recognize the exact chapter number, then instead of by example Figure 3.1 of Chapter 3, I get Figure 5.1. This applies to most of the chapters of the book and chapter wrong numbers are also not sequential, for example chapter 1 it's that Chapter 2, Chapter 2 is Chapter 2, Chapter 3 it's Chapter 5...

I can't understand where the code ^ H in the field above is picking up is information of. I guess if I find this source and correct this, the numbering will work then.

It may not be the title of the document, as this is clearly labeled "Number - title", may not be of the order of documents within the book feature, that I deliberately positioned the chapters such as "01 - Title" is the first document in the book and consecutively subsequently.

The documents were not created by me, and the original author has designed over most of the features. It wouldn't surprise me if it was created or modified a parameter that sets the chapter number, and then changed the way the chapters are classified without undoing its original setting.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you

OK, I answered my own question! But I'll leave it here in case anyone has the same problem.

In the 'Pages' Panel, the original author had a reason any opted for these parameters: -.

i.e. it was falsely put the number of Chapter 5 when it should have been 3, and so on.

Over and out!

  • Title chapter works on numbered list, but does not redial in Table of contents

    I'm doing a long document and put each chapter in a separate file.

    I use the chapter number variable in the title of the chapter and bullet styles is used in the heading and numbered lists set to ^ h ^ #^ t. It works very well in all the chapters.

    For example:

    Chapter 1

    1.0 header of a zero with the numbered list style

    Copy copy copy

    1.1 header a numbered list style

    Copy copy copy

    1.2 header a numbered list style

    and so on

    Chapter 2

    2.0 header with zero style

    Copy copy copy

    2.1 header a numbered list style

    Copy copy copy

    2.2 header a numbered list style

    and so on

    BUT when I create the table of contents and want the header of those who are listed, they appear like this

    1.0 header of... 1

    1.1 header... 5

    1.2 header of... 7

    1.3 header of... 9 (this should be the 2.0 header)

    1.4 header of... 12 (it should be 2.1 header)

    1.5 header of... 13 (this should be the heading 2.2)

    How to make the table of contents list the correct numbering, using the chapter title variable that is used in each file in the book?

    Thank you

    Maryann

    Okay, I think that I have now.

    1. Open the table of contents
    2. Layout > Table of contents
    3. Changing the shape of paragraphs numbered to include the full paragraph, OK
    4. If it does not, you will have duplicate numbers, but the new set is correct.
    5. If so, window > Styles
    6. Edit the table of contents and change the Type of list to none.
    7. Update the table of contents once more

    Looking forward to hear words that's it.

  • Balls in numbered lists are incorrect

    Hello

    We recently upgraded to RH5 to RH7 and have noticed that many of our subjects have problems when it comes to use bullets in numbered lists. Our project Robo is a number if years and well over 2 k files it contains. We find this problem in the old and new subjects.

    We use a style sheet to our numbers and our two levels of bullets, but the bullets are not graphics. Level 1 balls are filled circles and level 2 balls are solid squares. When we consider our subjects in the WYSIWYG, everything seems fine. When you find the topic by using the "Show selected item" button or after compilation, we find that some, but not all, our subjects have this problem.

    A bulleted list is used after the text, everything is going very well. Its only when the bullets are used in a list numbered (for our procedures) that happens. What we see is that our bullets changed numbers. For example, we have step 1 (1), step 2 (2) and the three balls that appear in the form (3, 4, 5) even if they should be full circles, and then our step 3 appears as it should (3).

    Again, this happens to old and new topics, but not all of the subjects. In order to "solve" the problem, it must remove the text style to chips and use the button 'Create a bulleted list' Robo and adjust the alignment and spacing of the paragraphs to match what has our stylesheet.

    Any help would be appreciated. The code of a theme that is displayed incorrectly is attached. If you want a sample of a topic that is displayed properly, please let me know.

    Thank you!
    Melissa

    After a few tries to change the stylesheet, here is what ended up working:

    I made a new project so I could edit the CSS without drastic results. I removed all the generated code kadov and saved the .css file. Then I entered Robo and used the built in editor CSS to remove the Bullets1, the Bullets2 and numbers styles and then added back in.

    Not only does my test subjects not display correctly, he put the right code in the .css file (for my lists, styles were entered as LI and not P). The original stylesheet Robo 5 had no entires for UL or OL. Using the editor in Robo to remove and add items from my list to put it in the sheet.

    Everything is superb.

    Thank you both, Leon and Peter.

  • Problem of numbered list in InDesign using paragraph Styles Code syntax highlighter

    Styles using GREP in the options of styles paragraph that I managed to make it useful, HTML, CSS, and Javascript, styles of syntax highlighter.

    Code can be copied and pasted, or can be typed and styles work well. codehighlighter_indesign.jpg.

    My only problem is with the numbering.

    I've implemented a character list ordered for my type of chip.

    Although the size of characters must be greater than the size of the code in order to get the character bar to connect and be a solid line.

    Is there a way to have the same size font for the numbering and the code and a bar of character which will connect? Do not be destroyed, because the separator between the numbered lines and the code?

    Also it doesn't seem to be a way to change the color or the weight of the bar (it must be the same color as the number) with a bar automatically generate? Is it possible?

    Here is an example of my InDesign CC 2015.4 German I did with a numbered list numbering and bar with a shading of paragraph:

    Note that the width of the 'bar' would change, if you change the width of the text block.

    5 mm added to the width of the text block:

    Or would disappear.

    The original text frame width less 5 mm:

  • Does not display do not properly on the page linked to numbered list

    I have a page where I placed numbered elements (instructions 1, 2)  Notice..., etc.). When I preview the page in RoboHelp 2015 the numbered list with numbers and everything seems good. When I view the output from RoboHelp file, the page with the numbered elements seems well. I inserted a hyperlink to this page (page A), another page (page B). When I click on the link to the page from page B, do not all numbers in the list on the page.

    The numbered list was created using several levels number list icon. All lists use a style.

    This problem does not appear on all pages that has been done with the help of the same structure and formatting. Any suggestions on how I might solve the problem number on the linked page?

    Hello

    Hmmm, it seems to suggest that when the linked page is presented, he somehow lost the link to the CSS of the page.

    It is when linking from another page, what happens if connect you the TOC? Same behavior?

    I remember in the weird behavior see happening with this stuff in my own projects. And in my case, I think I had too many nested folders. This should not be necessary, but it is solved for me was to copy the CSS in the same folder and ensure there is no character of "shortcut" leading to the CSS. (.. /) is the abbreviation.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to create a numbered list continues?

    Hello

    I would like to know how to create a continuous numbered list. I mean, a list where each issue begins on the same line as the previous one, instead of from the next line.

    Thanks in advance!

    Create a paragraph style that increases the number in the list section and bullets.

    Define a list for it.

    Set a different styles of paragraph based on the other model to start with 1 and following the precedent.

    Select all the paragraphs, right-click on the style with number 1 and apply cela and style according to.

    Or what you want on a single line: create a paragraph style with the numbers of the car, nothing else. Create a text frame entry '. "and copy this image to the Clipboard and paste it everywhere, you want to find the number. Optimize the size of this small frame. Reference grid could help align them.

  • Numbered list

    Numbered lists are driving me crazy. I tried to adjust the spacing between each item in the list and its very hard, it seems. If you make a paragraph style, it seems that he either wants them all be linked to a master list, where if you have a say on the first page with list 1,2,3 items even if you make a list of ten pages later it would begin with 4,5,6.

    If I Edit Mode: ' start in ' field 1, all list items go 1,1,1 and not incriment.

    Is there a way to get around this without having to define a new style / list for each list that I want to do? I'm busy, so it would sometimes be 100 or so a cookbook lists, seems a little crazy to make one for each I think.

    I just found a way around it. I did a paragraph style to the point list with the spacing I wanted. If I request that before I hit the numbered list, it keeps the spacing I want. Kind of a hack, but it works.

    Is it possible to better manage numbered lists?

    where if you have a say on the first page with list 1,2,3 items even if you make a list of ten pages later it would begin with 4,5,6.

  • Using paragraph styles with numbered lists having paragraphs "child."

    Hi all

    I wanted just a checking the direction of your InDesign experts.

    When I create a numbered list when there are paragraphs separate 'child' who "belong" to the paragraph numbered list real (see below) how do I use paragraph styles for formatting the list?

    Currently I apply a style numbered list to each of the bold numbered paragraphs and just a style of body text indented paragraphs of the child. Is this fair?

    3.1 it is a topic but also a part of a numbered list

    This is the text that goes with the above heading

    This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

    3.2 it comes is a topic, but also part of a numbered list

    This is the text that goes with the above heading

    This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

    3.2 it is a topic but as part of a list numbered

    This is the text that goes with the above heading

    This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

    Also, is there a power automatically apply a style to the last bullet in a list (as with the last CSS child selector) so that I can have a small space after each of my balls except the last one where I would want a larger space.

    Is this fair? Yes. And if you want the style of paragraph number somehow, each model numbered to give his name to the list.

    The styles will be applied by you. To get the last point in space after, add this attribute to its own paragraph style, perhaps also giving it a keep with previous keep option.

    Or give more simple, perhaps the paragraph numbered line style certain amount of space before as one of its attributes under withdrawal and spacing.

  • Why numbered lists will not continue between the documents in a book?

    Dear community InDesign,

    I am nearing completion of a volume of 1100 page, organized in book form in ID CS6 (OS X) composed of about 15 different documents. According to the excellent orientation in those discussions, I used a paragraph style to generate via the numbered lists figure captions.

    For some reason, numbered lists restart between sequential in the book chapters, while I need them to continue between the blocks specified documents. Please note that I already have:

    1. Define continues numbered lists from previous documents
    2. Go to Type > > bulleted and numbered lists > > define lists > > edit list to verify that 'continue Document numbers in previous book' is checked
    3. Synchronize all documents in the book and updated the numbering via the book panel
    4. Read a lot of discussion on this site to try to locate this problem without success (but if you have a lead, I'm more excited to see)

    Any suggestions would be welcome; I put things up through the proverbial book, and it seems that simply check the box "Numbers continue" should be enough, but it isn't.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    S.

    There is a Update Page and Section numbers - and there is also an "update chapter and paragraph numbers.

    Thing is to check that the numbering is set to follow the previous book - and then refresh the chapter and the numbering of the paragraphs.

    Which solves the problem?

  • Problem with creating numbered lists the paragraph style...

    I have a numbered list, using "bullets and numbers" paragraph style But I don't know how to get the numbering to work properly.

    If I set the "mode" to "continue from previous" mode, whenever I use this paragraph style continuous numbering since the last issue of the previous list using this style.

    If I put the 'mode' for ' start in ' a number, say '1', then all numbers in the list are this number.

    I want that each list is independent of the final list. The only thing I can understand is to create a new paragraph for each list style, but which does not seem a good way to go.

    I have been exploring for some time but have not been able to understand this.

    Place the cursor inside your paragraph of the list where you want than to restart numbering.

    Choose from the menu:

    Type > bulleted & numbered lists > restart page numbering.
