Automatic referencing of page/figure number on another page (Indesign CS3 Windows)

I am working on a catalog, and in the catalog, I have various references to figure numbers and other pages within text frames. The problem I have is that it is somewhat inconvenient to update these page and figure numbers when pages are added, moved, deleted, etc. It would be nice if I could put an automatic-updating reference to a page number or figure number within text without having to manual adjust it when pages change. Is this possible? If so, how can it be accomplished?
Many thanks!

I actually emailed Jan @ DTP yesterday, and I was informed that the functionality with Word was something to be added in an upcoming update, but no real time frame was given. In other words, it is on their radar, but they have bigger fish to fry, apparently. Also, I called Virginia Systems, as they have a cross-reference solution as well, but they said this is not possible with their software, and it would most likely happen when a bigger corporation wants it and would pay for the development.
I really do not want to use InCopy, as it has a lot of unnecessary functionality for what we do, but it may come to that. I know DTP's cross-reference plug in works with InCopy, at least that's what their web site says.
I did email Teus de Jong this morning about his script. I'll post anything I get from him.

  • 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.

    they told me contact apple.
    P L E A S E    H E L P. . .

    Hi guys,
    I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
    I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
    - Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
    - Reset network setting
    - Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    - Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
    - Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
    - Sign out/in of apple ID
    - Change location from apple ID
    - Hard reset/reboot
    And many others.
    ...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...

  • How to automatic submit a page if a field is filled?

    Hello,
    still I have the problem to give my users a simple method for login. MOD_NTLM cannot be used because we have windows 2003.
    So I had another idea. I create 2 hidden items on the login-page (101). These fields I fill with the URL: http://bondbmstst01.eba.local:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=101:101:::::P101_P1,P101_P2:Uxxyu],qopp€€
    The character at the end of the line are crypted the username and password. I fill the items P101_USERNAME with "select encrypt_auth(:P101_P1) from dual", the password is the same.
    Now I have only to press the LOGIN-Button to login. But I would have, that if the hidden item P101_P1 is filled, the button is hit by automatic or the page submitting is automatic.
    Is this possible?
    Regards,
    Mark

    Hello Mike,
    it is not exact this. In normal the login-page has 2 items, one for username, one for password. To login I have to fill out the both fields and press enter or click "Login". This is good so.
    Another way to login should be, that I write the username and password in the URL and fill two hidden items. If the page is loaded, I will check the both hidden fields and make a automatic login - without a user have to write anything.
    I can fill the items P101_USERNAME and P101_PASSWORD, but after that a user have to click on the button "LOGIN", but I dont want, that a user have to do anything to login.
    I hope, it is now a little bit clearer.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Transfer of my mothers phone number to another cus...

    I have Enduring Power of Attorney for my mother who is one hundred years of age and now resides in a Residentiial Care Home. On checking her phone this morning there was a message (from 25/10) from BT telling her that they were transferring her number to another customer on 31st October.
    Her line rental is infact paid up to January 2014.  Surely they cannot just take her number away. Whilst she makes virtually no calls herself a great number of people phone her to keep in touch by this phone number. Her bills are paid on time and never in arrears.
    How do I stop this from happening? I just despair

    I have asked a moderator to provide assistance, they will post an invite on this thread.

  • Can I transfer AppleCare from one number to another number within same family?

    I have 5 phones under me.
    I purchased the Iphone 5 under my number with the AppleCare. Unfortunately a few months later I wanted another phone. I switched the Iphone 5's phone number to another family member.
    Did I lose the AppleCare at that point?
    Now this family member with the Iphone 5 wants another phone, and we want to give the Iphone 5 to another family member.
    Question: Is there a possibility I still have the AppleCare (I did not call Apple at the time)  and can cancel the AppleCare and get it prorated since I made one transfer which the Terms state one can do? Like most people, I didn't read the Terms. =(
    or...did I lose the AppleCare once I transferred the number? I did inquire at the time, and the phone company stated I could do it...so I did...
    Thanks for any advice. Just seeing if I can salvage the cost I put into AppleCare into this one phone that never left the original address...just the phone number was switched.

    The AppleCare stays with the hardware, not the phone number.

  • Is there a way to automatically move mail from one folder to another?

    Is there a way to periodically, automatically, move mail from one folder to another?
    For example, I'd like to move mail from one of my IMAP/Archives folders to my MyMac/Archive folder and I'd like this to happen without intervention.
    Can this be done?

    I'll try to be more specific.
    When I'm done with an email, I archive it.
    Because I have multiple email accounts, this results in emails in multiple Archive folders (one per account). 
    I'd like to have these automatically all moved into one (on my Mac).

    I am a new Indesign user and a Creative Cloud member.  I was using the Window/Pages drop down window to view my pages alphabetically or by page number and also to determine whether or not my JPEG files were sufficiently HI-Res for the printer.  I don't know how I did it but somehow the window has changed so that now it does not have the alphabetical/numerical/Hi-Res information.  It just shows the pages in a two page spread in numerical order.  How can I restore the window so that I will be able to view the information as I did previously.
    Your help will be appreciated,

    Hi Shanbagavalli,
    There are multiple solutions to this questions a few i will try to answer and then you can take the best required for your requirements.
    **Consider that you have a Internal table having document number from other table..
    SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
           INTO IT_ADRC
           FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DOC
           WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = IT_DOC-DOCUMENT_NO.
    **Consider that you have 1 document number then
    SELECT NAME ADRES REGION FROM ADRC
         INTO IT_ADRC
         WHERE DOCUMENT_NO = W_DOCUMENT_NO.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Automatic creation of asset sub number in order

    Hi  Guruz,
    i have an urgent issue regarding asset topic  and sub number.
    my issue is my client purchased 100 computer sets. Each computer set  has an unique asset number. now we are using multiple account assignment concept. Earlier my client use to purchase 100 computers by including 100 line items in the purchase order in item overview  each having an asset number(that belongs to a particular asset class which is in turn assigned to one G/L account). So we can see that it is a very lengthy job. Instead my client wants that they should enter only one line item containing the asset number in the item overview of the PO.
    At present we are using multiple account assignment as we are creating the asset sub number under one main asset.
    With this we are able to prevent entering 100 line items in the item overview but we are entering the 100 sub number data in item details of the PO.
    item overview look out:
    Ex: asset no: 100268           quantity -100       price- 20000
    item detail look out:
    quantity           asset         sub number
    1                       100268          1
    1                      100268            2.....
    similarly upto 100......
    THis is done in account assignment tab of PO.
    REQUIREMENT:
    when i am giving asset number 100268  sysytem should automatically give/propose 100 sub number as we have defined 100 sub number in as11 for that asset number. I.e: when we are putting asset number 100268 in the item overview it should reflect 100 quantities in item detail.
    is it possible???
    pl discuss...
    in the sub item field the asset number 100268 will automatically divide into 100 sub numbers automatically.

    Hi,
    This is unfortunately not possible with standards but you may try using Badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST => PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

    With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy.   With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy.  Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
    Eureka!!!   Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy.  Hurray!!!

  • How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

    How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

    You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone.  To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage.  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.
