Pages: automatic section / chapter numbering?

Hi, how can I create an automatic section / chapter formatting & numbering like this?

(Note: I speak NOT a list numbered with new numbers after each line break.) I want to have a certain numbering and style applied when I start a new section / sub-section / block of text.)

Thank you!

Hi Peter,.

I suspect you'll find that the answer is simple "feature not supported."

As far as I know, Pages does not support divisions of the document beyond the level 'Section' (or 'Chapter'). You need to investigate a different word-processing application.

Kind regards

  • Table of contents - page automatic update of numbers possible?

    As a typographer, I generate the table of contents, all the time. That is, if there are significant changes to the book in the final stages of verification that paging can be shaken around. When this happens I find myself to update the table of contents by hand.

    There must be a way to automate that.

    I guess some kind of variable text that I place on the content page that is related to an anchor any on the page in question that just returns a number of page this anchor is located. If this page is moved the page automatically updated content. (This would have to happen in the whole of files: the issue head-on with the content on the subject is usually a different .ind file as the content of the body.)

    Is there something like this in InDesign? If this isn't the case, in InDesign basis, nobody knows about a script or plugin that would do this?

    Thank you!

    The standard TOC requires intervention to update (layout > TOC update...). If you manually generate using cross references, it will update automatically as you work. The downside is it's more work to implement, and x - Ref is known to be unstable through several files in a book.

  • Chapter numbers automatic for chapters within a single document

    I just got a question from a reader of my VQS. He wants to know how to "capture" the chapter number and chapter title to my chapters for footers in the document.

    I know how to make a model that is used for every single document that each chapter. These documents are collected in a book. Chapter numbers are set to "Automatic chapter numbering."

    But chapter numbers can only increase if documents are separate files assembled in a book. (At least, I think it's true.)

    But what happens if circulate you a paper with all the chapters within this single file? How to set chapter numbers to change automatically for footers? I suspect that you would need a variable text style paragraph or character as a footer. But how you get chapter numbers advance automatically?

    Would you use the bullets and numbering in the paragraph style?

    I know how to do these. I wonder what people would do for their workflow.

    You're right about the automatic chapter numbers - it's just one per doc.

    I think that I use a separate running header (character style) variable and try to pick up the number in the title of the chapter, if it is there or add a number of non-printing 'tag' on the first page of each chapter, if it is not.

  • How can I get my LOF to see the chapter numbers and page?

    I work in FM 11. My document has a TOC, BATCH, and LOF. My LOF would not be up-to-date, so I created a new one from scratch, but can't seem to get the LOF to display the chapter number in the Figure number and the page number. The format should be TitreFigure X - Y Figure... X Z. Where X is the chapter of the source, there is the number listed in this chapter, and Z is the number of page (Figure 1 - 1 Architecture... 1-5 showing the first figure in Chapter 1 is on page 5 of Chapter 1.)

    The reference page for the PRIZE which is correct:

    LOT_Ref_pg.PNG

    Compared to the reference page for the LOF that shows me only consecutive numbers and a page without the chapter prefix numbers:

    LOF_RefPg.PNG

    I tried to copy the reference to the table of contents or the BATCH page. My LOF looks like this:

    LOF.PNG

    You must add the <$chapnum>component in all relevant places you want FM to display the chapter number (see the table of contents for examples). You will also need to change some of your paratags to be included in the automatic numbering (if your content is using this combo of num chapter-figure in your chapter documents).

    Also insert the tabs in page reference LOF definitions, but use the code '\t' instead of a tab character so that you know that a tab command was specified. Change the corresponding paratags to include the desired tab stops. (for example for Figure_TitleLOF you should have something like "<$paranum><$paratext>\t \t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>").

  • Excluding the chapters of automatic chapter numbering

    Screen Shot 2013-11-17 at 19.23.14.png

    Hi guys, first time poster!

    I need help.

    I've set up each of my chapters with automatic chapter headings (Type > text Variables > insert Variable > chapter number)

    So that part works fine.


    The problem I have is (as you can see in my screenshot), for my books, Chapter 1 begins in the 7th entry on the book panel. So, instead, Chapter 1 to 7, the chapter number. I'm doing this right? I can't find a solution. Must file as a table of contents and pages copyright etc is not in the compilation of the book? I want to export an entire PDF (what I know how to do) rather than having to connect a PDF file. I checked the "Document numbering Options" and under chapter numbering I don't see really an option to exclude the first entries of 4 or 5 and do the 7th in the list "Chapter 1".

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    The lower part of this Panel is for the chapters of the Document

    You can see you have configured automatic chapter numbers

    For Chapter 1, you should have

    You must choose whether to start chapter numbering in chapter: 1

    Then in your previous documents before

    You must configure them so that they start numbering in Chapter 1 of too - but use a different numbering style as A, B, C, etc..

    Or anything that works for you.

    Bottom line is you need to select first chapter in the book and start the numbering of Chapter 1.

  • How to make the page numbers see the v.5.6.2 Pages automatically through the document?

    MacOs 10.11.4, v5.6.2 Pages.

    How can I make Pages automatically page numbers?  I want to be able to scroll through a multipage created from a blank template document & print specific pages.  Have sought and found answers on paging, but no address my question.  JV

    Pages v5.6.2 dislike doing anything automatically. Page numbers are shown to you when you scroll through a document:

    1. Associated with each thumbnail in this display mode
    2. By inserting the page number in the header or the footer

    That's all for v5.6.2 Pages. Whenever you want to print a specific page, you will need to check the Pages: of the _____ to the _____ in the OS X Print Panel and specify the same value for each entry field to print the page in question. There is no automatic printing of selected pages in the selection of this Panel paper handling.

    Pages ' 09 v4.3 would show the current page number on a lower status bar, with or without page numbers inserted in the header of document/footers. This view could be clicked, and it would change to a text entry where we could fix the jump to page number.

  • Chapter numbers will appear in the table of contents with page numbers...

    First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers.  This forum is wonderful.

    I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.

    I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.

    To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Change the reference to the table of contents page to use the building block as well as the first page, which is <$chapnum>chapnum.<$pagenum>

  • How to choose chapter numbers in table of contents headers?

    Each new chapter title is in a table of one row and two columns. Column 1 contains only a large number (numbered style called ChapNum) against a shaded background and column 2 (shaded) contains the title of the chapter (Heading1 - which is NOT numbered; only the style of column 1 contains numbering.)

    The only exceptions are the Preface (a title 1) chapter and the table of contents itself (which uses TOCTitle so it will not appear in the table of contents). For both, the shaded column 1 uses a style called ChapNoNum.

    Layout a sideheads. first page of each numbered chapter looks like this:

    |-----|--------------------------|
    |     |                          |
    | 1   | Heading1.
    |-----|--------------------------|

    |     | Preface... 1.
    |     | 1 getting started... 3.
    |     | 2. more things... 5.

    But the table of contents contains only the Heading1s, which are not numbered. How to include the ChapNum in front of the title 1 in the table of contents? (I tried to use graphical boxes on master pages, instead of the rows in the table on the page body, but have not found the answer it.)

    Any help is welcome.

    Table of contents specified only captures paragraph formats. Chapter numbers are not specified in the table of contents, so they are not captured. To capture the number and paragraphs of title, you must specify both formats in implementing TOC. For race number in the title, you must assign a paragraph format in the entrance of the number in the table of contents; This will cause the title to the number on the same line.

  • How can I get rid of chapter numbers in a book?

    Chapter numbering options (under layout / numbering and Section Options) do not include "no numbering. When I import a file for a chapter by using the function of the Place to load in a Word doc, '1.' text appears on the line of eheader th.

    I tried to go to the Type / text Variables / defines the location and the removal of the text chapter number variable. However, when I Place a Word doc in my book, the chapter number usually appears at the beginning of the chapter, and then I can't make it go away.

    Help gratefully received.

    You have to work pretty hard to use the assigned chapter number by ID. The usual method is to insert a chapter number variable in a block of text. Place a Word document would not invoke it. It seems to me that the chapter number is included in the Word file, which makes some sense from the point of view of the author and should be selectable as any other text in the document.

  • Closing "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" allows the auto-recharges. or continue to deny, but without informing you?

    In Options/Advanced/general Options, that I 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' selected.

    However there are some cases - for example, when a page has me 'pending' temporarily when the site is too busy ("we're going to keep you in the queue and will warn you if the website is available"), with the "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" bar appears in the upper part.

    If I left the bar remain without any intervention on my part, can the page REALLY let me know when the site is available? Or how about if I click Close (X) on the bar, which in fact disappear. Is Firefox and then allowing the page reload, or is it always block but just to remove the notification that it is done? (A third choice, by clicking the "Authorize" button is essentially useless in this case because it just instantly reappears.)

    Bottom line, I strive to make sure the page that's too busy REALLY can let know me when it is available, without having to change all of the global settings.

    If I left the bar remain without any intervention on my part, can the page REALLY let me know when the site is available? Or how about if I click Close (X) on the bar, which in fact disappear. Is Firefox and then allowing the page reload, or is it always block but just to remove the notification that it is done?

    If you do not click allow, Firefox will ignore a metatag to refresh as follows in order to reload the page every 30 seconds:

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">
    

    But as you point out, by clicking on allow made that immediately reload the page and the same triggers InfoBar again. One of the many reasons that this feature is more trouble that it's worth.

    If you leave the display bar or if you 'x' of the bar, the scripts can always reload the page. In other words, this function does NOT stop something similar to the following to reload the page every 60 seconds:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.reload()}, 60000);
    </script>

    So what is happening on the page in question depends on how it is designed.

  • To work with the text to the assignment by the cursor of the large fragment of page it is necessary to change all the time down, 'against the judgment", but the page automatically does not start to rise upward, as happens in other browsers. I ask you for

    After the transition to Windows 7, there was a problem with Firefox. To work with the text to the award by the cursor of the large fragment of page it is necessary to change all the time down, 'against the judgment", but the page automatically does not ascend to the top as it was earlier, and like that occurs in other browsers. It is necessary to press the other key "down" which is him very troublesome. Resettlement on an earlier version (8.0) earlier irreproachably working, gave nothing. I ask you to help

    You must activate the module bar (Firefox > Options or view > toolbars;) CTRL + /) or find bar to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting the text (Ctrl + F).
