Automatic numbering of objects (graphics)

I work on music sheets that contain a large number graphics, which are placed on pages in different orders.
I want to give names to all these graphic, for instance 1, 2, 3, 4... Or 1.1, 1.2, 1.3.... Or 1.a, 1.b, 1.c etc or just a, b, c, etc.
I want to place these numbers for each graphic on the same position and with the same font. If I remove some of graphic, I want also to have it re-numbered, so that all graphic after deleted one are again proportionally numbered.
How to do it easily?

Use a number list paragraph style. Define the style to continue across stories.

Issue with automatic numbering of figures in a Technical Document

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to examine my issue. Basically I've inherited a Technical Document which was imported from Quark some years ago and badly cobbled together in IDesign by a novice and I'm bringing it up to standard to make it a bit more usable but do need to retain the conventions within it. It was written as a chaptered document so I've set up the 'chapters' as Sections in InDesign so as to allow for page number variables and a decent ToC etc. I'd like to have the diagram numbers (and associated x-references) automated too, but am floundering a bit with this.
At the moment all the image captions are set in one paragraph style throughout the document, and I've been playing with the Bullets and Numbering Dialogue within this paragraph style. All the captions are part of the body text or in their own text frames (As opposed to being linked with image metadata or anything like that).
The manually written image number format in the document reads like 'Figure Chapter number, colon, Image number, and then some have (a), (b), or (c). followed by the name)' eg (worst case) Figure 8:5(c) Sealing the Blahblah Adaptor
I realise I might have to set up a named list for each 'chapter' because I can't find a way to define the numbered list to show me;
'Section number, dot, Image number (starting at one then continuing until the next section starts) dot and then if I need it an a, b, c. etc too'
Not forgetting I have set up the written 'chapters' as Sections in Indesign.
If I try adding the 'section symbol' to the number field in the bullets and numbering dialogue (inside my paragraph style) I just get a weird little blue shape that presumably starts a new section rather than identifies the section I've put it in (so that isn't it) and if i try 'Chapter Number' from the number placeholder menu it only ever says '1' because InDesign only allows one 'chapter' per document (and my chapters are actually sections!).
I do find the coding system for the 'insert special characters or numbered placeholder' really confusing - I'm not familiar with all of them, (and throwing circumflex's and hashtags in doesn't brighten my day) and since I don't know the codes trial and error seemed to be the way forward. How are we supposed to know the codes - is there a list online somewhere?
I could manually type the section number in the 'Number' text box in the dialogue (if I make a named list for each chapter) and lift a layer of confusion but surely there's a way to identify a section in a numbered/named list?
I think I'm really close but it's driving me a bit crazy - I'm sure identifying levels within named lists might be something to do with it, but I can't see how to alter that. Do I need to set up a new paragraph style AND a new named list for each 'chapter' (section)? The alternative could be to split the document up and make a book file so the 'chapters' become real chapters? (I don't want to do this!)
There's also something in RealWorld InDesign that worries me a bit - it says (even if I had it working the way I want) that it might number unthreaded text frames in the order they were created rather than the order they appear on the page? Um...
The other thing is I do have a mixture of inline and anchored objects throughout this document so that might mess things up too?! *Sigh!*
I'm using InDesign 5.5. for Windows. Many thanks for any tips! Hope somone out there is less confused than me!
kind regards
Phil

You're so right!!!
I really liked the idea of writing a book in pages. Have to write a second edition of something and did not want to use Word2008 on the Mac, because after one year it is still an unstable beast (crashes, crashes).
So I checked ot Pages 09 - and alas
* no xreferences
* no automatic numbering of captions, figures, ...
Then I asked my publisher for FrameMaker: The answer was: NO longer on the Mac since 2005. I can't believe this. Not a single decent program to write a book on a Mac.
I don't want to go back to LaTex after 20 years - HELP me somebody
and show me a few (automatic) workarounds how to play the automatic numbering and Xref tricks in pages.
Otherwise it's really neat - BUT - nut for writing documents longer than 20 - 30 pages that need off that book like stuff.

Automatic Numbering in a Table

I know this issue has been discussed on this forum before, but none of the answers have been satisfactory. How does one set up automatic numbering in a table that has an "ongoing relationship" with the numbers above and below it. I am about to begin working on a long, complex document with many, many numbers with many levels of hierarchy (outline numbering as Word would call it). It is essential that when I change one number, anywhere in the document, all the subsequent numbers will update. I cannot use the pattern recognition means of numbering due to the hierarchies, yet I would like to keep the file in a table. Here is an example of the numbering I need to use.
6.1
6.2
6.2.1
6.2.2
6.2.3
6.3
6.3.1
6.4

Here we are end users like you. We can't change the application behavior.
I already described the application behavior but I will repeat.
What you are describing is the list numbering.
It apply to a text object.
When you are using tables, each cell is a text object.
So, as long as you remain in a cell, you may have this kind of numbering.
When you switch from a cell to an other one, you switch from a text object to an other one which ignore what you did in the other one.
What you try to achieve can't be done in a Pages table.

Automatic creation of object link

Hi!
I wonder if you know if it's possible to automatically crate an object link. Let me use an example to explain that I mean.
Letu2019s say that I have an object link between a document and a material. When I create a purchase order (PO) with this material then I would like to get the object link that I have for the material also for the PO.
Is there any BADIs doing this?
I would like to check if there are any object links for the material.
If this is the case then I want to copy the object link over to the PO.
This would also be interesting to have between other objects so would it be possible to build a generic solution for all objects?
Kind Regards,
Kristoffer Pehrson

Hi Kristoffer
Whenever I create link to PO I link document to Line Items and not to PO Header. There is no Such Functionality.
Because as per Business Requirement We always create Documents related to material that we purchse such as " Technical Specifications, Design Drawing Drawing,Layout Drawing" which are specific to Particular to PO.
Hope I have answered you query.
If anwer is Usefull Please grant me the points.
With Warm Regards

Dual automatic numbering in 1 page

hello
I need a way to add automatic numbering in a page, I know indesign can add this based on the page number, but I need to add 2 numberings in the same page.
So let's say I want to have a page from 10 to 26, I want to have in page 1 the numbers 10,11, in page 2 the numbers 12,13 and so on.
Is there a way to do this automatically and not by hand? I want to add a great number of pages which make it impossible to be done one by one.
thanks

I want to print invoice booklets.
Traditionally I just make one page and then the printshop make a dual page layout and print them with an offset press. Before the offset deliver the paper it also do the numbering at both pages. That's all analog, so if you don't have the numbering module you have to use another machine to pass the papers again. So the numbering is the only variable on the print.
This is the cheaper method around so far, but I want to find a way to do it with a digital printer because the cost is comparable for short runs.
So I though the best way to do it is to make a big PDF with indesign with the page as master and automatic numbering and just generate as many pages as I need.
But I want to be able to print a composition of 2-3 pages at each A4 page I print, so I can cut down on cost, so the automatic numbering is of no help since I need to have 3 variable numbers on each page of indesign.

Object Graphics deleted on paint component

Hello everybody!
I have a question about the object graphics when paint a component in it. I'm trying to paint a component in a image, and after show it in the screen.
The problem is that in order to make it possible, I have to put the function that paint the image inside the code paint() of the principal class.
With this code in one class named: Program:
public void paint(Graphics g){
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
            gt = new GraphicT(view);   <-HERE IS THE PROBLEM
            g2.setColor(getBackground());
            g2.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
            g2.drawImage(gt.getImage(), 0, 0, this);
...and with this other in other named: GraphicT:
private JComponent view;
private Image image;
private Graphics gaux;
public GraphicT(JComponent view){
        this.view = view;
        this.image = new BufferedImage (view.getWidth(),view.getHeight(),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_BGR);
        gaux = image.createGraphics();
      // gaux=image.getGraphics();
        this.view.paint(gaux);
public BufferedImage getImage(){
        return this.image;
...I don't want to do it because each time that Program paint , create the image (object) in GraphicT. I want to create the image only one time, I mean to put the class GraphicT inside the Program like a object private. But if I do this, program doesn't paint anything.
Do you know why about this behaviour?
Thanks everybody
Edited by: ginnkk on Feb 5, 2009 3:15 AM

So you want to paint a component to an image and display the image. The reason it works if you put it in the paint() method is becasuse by that time the component has already been made displayable, approprietly sized, and consequently can be painted.
If all you are doing is painting an ordinary JComponent, then it's the approprietly sized part that matters.
Dimension prefSize = myJComponent.getPreferredSize();
myJComponent.setSize(prefSize.width,prefSize.height);
myJComponent.doLayout();
GraphicT gt = new GraphicT(myJComponent);This is more or less the code required to paint the component outside the paint method right after the JComponent has been constructed.

Sapscript: position OBJECT GRAPHICS ID

Hi all,
I hope there is someone can help me...
My problem is: i've used the istruction to insert an image in a Sapscript
/: BITMAP 'LOGO_TOPAZIO_DATI1' OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BCOL
now, how can i position the image in the centre of page?
Thanks a lots,
regards,
Alex.

Hi,
To print image, you have to import a tif file from your local hardisk via the SAP abap program RSTXLDMC.
In the sap script, add in the following script.
: / INCLUDE ZLOGO OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN.
or
Tested in 4.6x
Go to transaction SE78.
Follow the path given below (on the left windows box) :-
SAPSCRIPT GRAPHICS --> STORED ON DOCUMENT SERVER --> GRAPHICS --> BMAP
Enter the name of the graphics file on the right side and Go to the menu GRAPHIC --> IMPORT.
Thanks,
Neelima.

Click in any header or footer field; an option to enter page number will pop up. Or click setup gear at top right, then click "Section," and click the page number options you want (including option to skip the first page).

Automatic numbering in InDesign cs6?

Does anyone know if InDesign CS6 will have an automatic numbering function? I don't mean just for lists in the same format, but for anywhere one decides to tag something to becounted? Right now, Virgina Systems's InSequence plug-in is the only alternative I have found that does the trick. In particular, I need to create footnote numbers (up to CS5.5, the footnoting feature was just too inflexible to be used for complex academic documents) that are scattered around the text.

There is a feature request for allowing XML tags in footnote, we are expecting it, still this was not done in CS6 as well.
This request was raised from CS3 to CS5.5

Automatic numbering in meta title

Is there any way in LR3 to automatically or via a code change the title (not filename) to numbering?
For instance: I got 100 portrait photos and I want the title to be Portrait 1, Portrait 2, Portrait 3 and so on. So I could for example write in the title field "Portrait #sequence" and then it automatically numbers each marked number with 1,2,3 and so forth. Or any other solution but I can imagine it would work somewhat like that.
Anyone got a solution for this?

I believe LR/Transporter can do that for you.

It has the capability to replace metadata including the Title field.

Automatic numbering (non-paragraph style)

Some years ago I purchased InSequence from Virginia Systems to add automatic numbering not related to a paragraph style but anywhere in text. Although the interface is clumsy and was never updated, it was useful as the only workaround out there. But they refused to provide free updates to a program already overpriced. Each time a new InDesign would come out, they made you fork out another $120 or so for an update. Now with InDesign 4, I have grown impatient with their greedy attitude to their longtime users. I cannot update to CS4 without the numbering (since I use it in many critical documents) but am at a loss what to do.
   So my question is this: Does anyone know of any other plug-in that will do this? I am a little surprised that Adobe never added this feature, but it is one I need. I'd appreciate any advice on this.

I understand your reply, but if you had used the program and realized that there WAS NO development over the years, just minor tweaks (all of them completely invisible to the user) to make it compatible with every new version of InDesign, you would see the reason for the frustration. It is only reasonable to pay for what people have worked to improve. No argument there.
   In any case, the simplest way to describe what is needed is this: Imagine that you want to make an article that has, say 50 items in it, and the number of the items does not (and cannot) be associated with a paragraph tag. Kind of like footnote numbers, which can be inserted anywhere but which can be updated to keep in sequence as new numbers are added or moved. That is what is needed, and that is just what InSequence does.
     I hope this makes sense now.

Automatically recompile dependant objects in db proc

I would like to know as to what to do to automatically recompile
dependant objects in a database procedure without compiling the
procedures again manually.
for eg: if a table is altered the db procedure becomes invalid
(uncompiled form).. Can anything be done to automatically
recompile without compiling it manually.
Same's the case with a procedure being changed the dependants if
any or is parent ( another procedure being called or calling
another procedure)

Invalid stored code should be recompiled automatically. However
certain combinations of client software and the database don't
work this way. We're running the base release of Forms 6 against
a 7.3.4 database and we find that uncompiled program units on
the server do not get recompiled automatically.
Our temporary workaround, until we move either the client or
server forward, is to loop through all invalid objects (views,
functions, procedures and packages - not package bodies)
recompiling them overnight after the processing which
invalidates them has completed. We repeat this process until
either the same number of objects are invalid between two
invocations or upto an arbitrary count of 10, so we don't end up
running it forever.

How to turn off automatic numbering in Pages

I recently had a problem getting rid of automatic numbering within Pages.
I keyed in a numbered heading (eg, "1. H1") and then hit return, when it gave me another numbered heading ("2. H2") on the next line, which I didn't want.
The easiest way to get round this is to hit the return key on the automatically numbered line (eg, "2. H2"), which removes the "2" and puts you to the start of the line. This seems to tell Pages that you don't want automatic numbering, at least for the time being. Perhaps until you key another numbered heading...
To turn off automatic numbering on an individual line you can press the "i" button at the top and select "None". That will remove the number.

The View menu does what it says:
Menu > View > Hide Invisibles
Peter
btw You turned it on when you hit command shift i, do it again and it turns it off.

APPLEWORKS 6 automatic numbering of footnotes?

I have tried to number footnotes (actually, endnotes) in a document, starting at 1 by turning on Automatic Numbering in Format-Document menu. But it won't number them consecutively, simply numbering them superscript 1 each time. Please help!!

How are you inserting the footnotes? I created a new WP document and entered some text: clicked at a place in the text, hit command-shift-F and got a superscript 1 in the text and a blank footnote numbered 1 at the bottom of the page (as it was only a few lines of text I didn't go for end of document). Then I clicked further down, command-shift-F, got a superscript 2 and a blank footnote numbered 2.
Is this what you did and it didn't work?
