Update references to the figure/page numbers

Platform: PC running Windows XP SP2
Adobe: InDesign CS3 5.0.4


Hello

It is probably a fairly easy thing to do in InDesign, but I can't understand it so I'd appreciate any help.

In a paragraph, I am referring to a number and the page on which it is. The number of digits is part of a style of legend and is generated automatically.

If the digit number changes because a new figure is inserted earlier in the thread, or if the number is pushed to a new page, I would like to that references to the figure number and the page number to be automatically updated in the paragraph that describes them.

For example, the pattern here, if the figures increased from 4 to 5 and figure is pushed to page 69, I would like to the paragraph to account for this and change to 'please see Figure 5, Page 69 for further instructions.

You need a reference to capture the part of the auto-numerotees paragraph legend, as well as the page number on which the legend is displayed. InDesign CS4 is the first version that offers referrals that can do. DTP Tools sells a references InDesign plugin which adds the possibility of InDesign CS3 and later.

Sectors de Jong is a free script that sets a marker on a page, enters the number of the page on which this marker is displayed and updates the page numbers when you execute it after moving text. It cannot capture the caption

Google search for "indesign cross-references," "indesign EVP of jong reference script" and "dtptools.com indesign plugin references" without the quotes, for more information.

  • 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.

    Did you even open the PostScript language reference manual? Comments are a normal part of the PostScript. Anything from % this is a comment (but avoid %% %! because they have special meanings). Be sure you do not accidentally break the DSC (do not add in the middle of a stream of special comments) comments.

  • Help! Urgent problem the Framemaker page numbering

    Hello

    I have to do an update minute to this old project we have in Framemaker. I've never really used it before so I'm clueless!

    Problem is that I have a book, it consists of several chapters, which everyone seems to have an FM extension.

    I need to create a pdf file and the page numbers in her flowing from chapter to chapter. Problem I have now is that Chapter 1 ends on page 10 and Chapter 2 begins on page 13!

    It wouldn't be so bad if she even inserted a couple of blank pages in the pdf, but it's not so the number goes out of sync!

    In the box of the home page where it lists all the files of FM, I linked on Chapter 2, selected numbers and selected continue numbering from previous file in the book, then pressed together. This is not another if.

    Chapter 2 ends on page 18 and Chapter 3 starts on page 21 if something is wrong.

    I need to get this completed document today, if someone could help pls it would be really appreciated!

    You're welcome, Babe.

    Have a great weekend!

  • Index is not showing is not the correct page numbers

    I use 7 HR to develop versions online and print the user guide. There are several tables of contents for this project (the tables are specific to the user). When I generate the project for my chosen table of content, and I find the results, the index numbers do not show the right page. Example: number of units... 106; number of units is actually on page 112.

    Is there a trick to make it display correctly?

    Thanks in advance!

    ~ Jennifer

    Have you tried right click next to the index and selecting the update field?

  • Automation of table and the Figure of numbering

    I have a large document with many figures and tables that get deleted/added or just change anywhere in the document under review.  It is also necessary to have a sentence in the text referring to the table/figure.  My question: is it possible to make the automated table/numbers so I mustn't keep renumbering them and this corresponds, as they move?

    I have checked forums and books of reference, but have not been able to find something about it.  Has anyone experience this problem?  If yes how did you work it?

    Thanks for the help!

    You must define separate lists for tables and figures. Detailed instructions are here:

  • View / access the custom page numbers? (Android)

    Hello.

    So I have a certain ebooks that start directly with the number of page 1 of the actual book. There is a page of coverage and then a few pages numbered in Roman numerals. These appear in the Adobe Reader for PC page number box, but not in Android. In some books the Romans numbered pages go to over a hundred in number, so it's a bit bulky to make the calculation before typing what page number to go to. is possible to do this on the Android app? Otherwise, it's my humble request to fix it or add the feature soon.

    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Problem on the Japanese page numbers!

    You know how I can fix it?

    Thank you very much!

    Your file, it reads from left to right? The pages are in the right order? The text block are strings in the right order?

    Try to export your file in .idml (in having first removed the numbering blocks) and to reopen it and recreate the numbering, maybe this will solve your problem.

  • Export comments to tab delimited the correct page numbering / w?

    Hi everyone and thanks a lot in advance for your time. This will be a good test of skill for some of you.

    Recently, I need to export many comments that I did in some PDF files into an editable format and that I could use in Word or Excel. I discovered how to make via JavaScript through this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm & file = BatchSeq_BatchSequences.96.1.html? context = Acrobat9_HTMLHelp

    However, the problem is that if I change pages in the PDF file I come with problems in the exported file pertaining to the page number that it shows the comment information.

    For example: I have a PDF file with 100 pages from 1 to 100. I rename pages 1 and 2, of A and b. So now I have tagged pages A, B, 1, 2... 97, 98. If I make a comment on the page 5 (which is now the page 7 of the PDF) and export information through the tab sequence, he will show me that there is a comment on page 7 and not the renumbered page. My question is what code I entered the command of javascript to change or add more, this issue of the page.

    I hope this makes some sense, please feel free to let me know if you need any clarification.

    Again, I really appreciate time for everyone in this.

    You use the 'page' of the annotation object property to get the page number on which the annotation appears on. This number can then be used in the method "getPageLabel (nPage).

    So it appears that you want to change this line of code:

    + "\t" + annots [i] .page

    The ".page annots [i]" provides the JS page number on which the comment appears. You can plug this number in the 'gatePageLabel (nPage)' method to the doc object has the parameter "nPage.

    + "\t" + this.getPageLabel ({nPage: .page annots [i]})

    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.

  • How to re - assign page numbers without changing all the references?

    I've built and rebuilt a lot of pages, which makes the project seem like chaos. I want to re - assign numbers page for them, but I don't want to manually change the reference to them, because it would cause an error if I forgot a few references. But I noticed that APEX will not re-name thing for us. For example, if I delete a page, create a new and assign the former tab to this new page, APEX keeps even the reference to the old page, which no longer exists.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes, it's perhaps heavy.
    What might help is in the page which number you want to change, change the selection list 'View' (the one just before the OK button top left on your definition of pages page) of the definition to referenced. So, you see where the current page is referenced and what to change. Also using Page aliases will reduce the number of changes...
