Changing starting page number in CS4

Hi,
As the title suggests I want to change the starting page number using javascript.
I know in CS5 you can use app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.startPageNumber = myNum but I can't seem to find the equivelant method for CS4.
I can find the starting page number with app.activeDocument.pages.firstItem().name but I can't change it as it's read-only.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
John

With a little bit more persistence I found you can change it with:
myDoc.sections[0].pageNumberStart = myNum;
It wasn't easy to find though, and the data browser in the ESTK wasn't much help :-(
Cheers,
John

Hi,
Page number always start with 1 if you want to your page number to start with 5 then try this formula in place of your page number special field :
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar x:=4;
x:=x+1;
This will print 5 on your first page.

[SOLVED] LSDP changes Start Page and default printer

Hi!
If I install LSDP two things happen:
1) My Start Page in Internet Explorer gets reset to some old value
2) The setting to change the default printer when I change network is switch off and a fixed printer is set as the default.
Is it possible to disable these annoying features?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok , this is silly. The Lenovo Settings Dependency Package is basis for Lenovo Settings, a Modern style application.
Lenovo Settings includes Location Awareness, with that you can change the default printer, the start page and VPN settings as well as security settings (printer and file sharing, firewall). This excellent feature was availbable under a different name on Windows 7 as well and is just the best thing since sliced bread.
Mystery solved. Ignore W8 location aware default printers and use Lenovo Settings exclusively.
Two remarks though.
1) Documentation of these Lenovo software products is less than ideal. It probably is a chinees thîng. Just look at the sheer number of posts in these forums on this theme. Better documenation would lead to less confusion and irritation and most of all less posts all asking the same question. By the way the new interface of Windows 8 is called Modern not Metro.
2) Yet another app to change settings. Since W8 we have PC Settings and good old Control Panel. Now comes a thrid settings application wich removes settings done with the first two without notice. Why not tie in with the existing applications and include them, for instance, with PC settings? Or at least use the information?
But more important: Document, document. document. All the Readme's are in fact release notes. Release notes are not documentation.

How do you change the page number position on the page and size?

I am having difficulty changing the size/color/position of the page number in the book? Does anyone know how to do this?
thanx.

Yes, you can change the position. Do it in Master Layouts. Select the page number - a red box appears around it - select: left, center, or right justification. That will move it within the box. To move the box on the page, just drag the box to where you want it. - Fabe

Change Start page numbering to Auto Page numbering in the Numbering & Section Options using script

1. I have many documents to add into a book. After adding the documents, all file page numbers should be continued from the previous file. Now I am doing manually for all files at all time. Numbering & Section Options => Start Page Numbering at: to Automatic Page Numbering.
2. And also I need to add the Chapter number with the page number (Ex: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 … , 2/2, 2/3, 2/4 …., 3/2, 3/3, 3/4 ….). Here also I am doing manually like. Numbering & Section Options => Page Numbering => Section Prefix: 1 and Include Prefix When Numbering Pages. (The page number should start from 2).
Note: In Every chapter opening there will be a file name called S… (Ex: Ch 1: S3391.indd, Ch 2: S3392.indd, Ch 3: S3393.indd). So after every S(S3391, S3392 …) file the next file page number should starts from 1/2, 1/3. 2/2, 2/2 ….
Ex:
Chapter 1          Pages
S3391.indd
32457.indd       1/2 … 1/5
32617.indd       1/6 ….. 1/9
32217.indd       1/10 … 1/13
Chapter 2
S3392.indd
42457.indd       2/2 … 2/3
52617.indd       2/4 ….. 2/9
33217.indd       2/10 … 2/13
Could anyone give me an idea or script, please? At least for First one, could anyone suggest me ASAP.
P.S: I have some more questions regarding this, I will post that after some time...
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

var openedDocs = app.documents;
var chapterPrefix = prompt ("Enter the chapter prefix", "1/", "Prefix");
for (var doc=0; doc<openedDocs.length; doc++){
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].continueNumbering = true;
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].sectionPrefix = chapterPrefix;
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].includeSectionPrefix = true;
alert("Done");
Chapter 1, contains 10 files (Each file 6 pages)… (1/1, 1/2, … 1/60) – prefix 1
Open all 10 files of one chapter and run it....
and then for another 10 files....

Change Start Page to Safari From Firefox

The Mac G4 I bought on eBay is configured to use "Mozilla FireFox" as the start page. How do I change it so that "Safari" will be the start page?

You want to say that you want to use Safari as the default Internet browser. To do it, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and choose Safari as your default web browser

I am trying to change the page number format in a section of my document. I want 2 sections to have 2 different page number formats. How can I do this?

I have 2 sections in my Pages document. I am using Insert Auto Pages in footers to number my pages, but when I try to change the number format for one section it changes the format to the same as my change for the other section. I want auto page number in each section but want each section's page numbers to have different formats. I have managed to get the auto page numbering to begin separately in each section, but just can't get the formats to be different. There must be a way to do this. Anyone know how?

You look on the right edge of this page in the box entitled [More Like This].
The dumb machine was able to find threads containing available answers .
Using the Search feature with a simple request like
page number AND format AND section
would have give these links without opening a new thread.

Cannot change "Start Page" from the FireFox Google Search Page.

Under "tools"/"options"/"general" I've changed my homepage to Bing.com & designated this as my "start page" however whenever I open a new tab the FireFox Google Search Page always comes up and I must click the "home" icon in order to get my Bing Home Page to load. This is a step I would rather skip. What must I do to get FireFox to open immediately in my designated home page?

The home page is just what opens when you click the Home icon on the toolbar, and when you start Firefox, provided that under Options → General you've set "When Firefox starts: Show my home page".
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
When you open a new tab, you normally get a grid of tiles listing recently visited sites. (From Firefox 31 onward, there's also a search box, but it uses whatever search engine you've selected in the search bar on the navigation toolbar)
* [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]
# [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/ Install Custom New Tab].
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
# Enter whatever URL you want to open in each new tab, and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.
Strictly speaking, you don't need the above add-on to choose what opens in each new tab. But Custom New Tab allows you to decide whether focus should go to the address bar. Without the add-on, it does, so you have to first click the search box on the web page before you can start typing your search query.

Change start page for project?

I'm using RH8 and trying to update the start page for an existing project. I opened the properties and here's a pic:
you'll see the field for Default topic is greyed out. but what's interesting is that the topic named in the field is not the opening topic for the project. So, what I'm asking is: why is the default topic a different topic than what is the opening topic of the project? second, how can I change it since it's greyed out?

Hi there
You may think we can see that it says:
CalloutGuide\ABB_Docs\s6010001_Executive_(EXC)_SDD_122104_files\Introd uction\Purpose.htm
But in fact all it shows us is this:
CalloutGuide\ABB_Docs\s6010001_Executive_(EXC)_SD
So we will have to take your word for it that this is what it says.
What happens if you simply create a totally new topic that says something like this:
HERE IS MY NEW START PAGE
Then ensure it exists at the project root. Configure it to be the new start page. Do you notice it changes then?
Personally I see some issues with what you have. The path seems incredibly long. That can cause issues. And I see a space in what you have posted. The word "Introduction" is appearing as "Introd uction". Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if it's just a typo on your part when entering the post.
Cheers... Rick

WCEM change start page

In WCEM forgotpassword, the start page is going to homePage.xhtml
How can I change this to myAccountHomePage.jsf

Hello,
To define a start page you just have to add the attribute startpage = "true" dans le UI repository.
Then you should use the web channel builder to choose this page as the default start page for your application.

Change Start-Page for the Application

Hallo,
how can I change the Start-Page for the Application ?
Thanks
I. Schult transcoject Neumünster

Another action you can take is to change the page ID in the p_flow_page argument to the wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login call in the login process on the login page (if you have one), e.g., change P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1' to FLOWPAGE => :APP_ID||':99' to change the 'after login' page from 1 to 99. This will be the page (in the current application) redirected to after authentication, absent a deep link.
The home link application attribute has limited use, e.g., for determining which page to show when you use the Run Application icon in the builder.

Hi
Please declare the line count for report page length.
When you do not declare it is taken as default 0 and this is dynamic page lenght of SAP ( limit is 60,000 lines).
Use statement REPORT <rep> LINE-COUNT <length> [(<pf>)].
Where <length> is line count. Use as per your requirement. <pf> is line reserved for footer if you require.
Additional you can use LINE-SIZE <width> to determine width of page.
Please reward if helpful.
Regards,
Sunil

How to start page number in footer lower down

I'm creating an inventory catalog and I need to have all the pages numbered. I know how to insert the page numbers using the master pages, but they always start right at page 1. The first 8 pages are going to be a table of contents and need their own separate roman numeral page numbers.
So pages 1-8 need to be labled I-VIII
and pages 9 - whenever need to be labled 1 - whenever
Is there a way to do this, or am I going to have to label each individual page?

You can create a new section starting on page 9. In the page panel select page 9, right click, choose Numbering and Sections Options/Start Page Numbering at 1. It will probably warn you that 1 already exist. Click OK. Now select the first page of the document, right click, Star Page Numbering at 1, Style and choose the roman numerals.

Variable for start page number?

I have a collection of indesign documents collated in a book.
I want to implement a footer that looks like:
"Start Page - Last Page"
"750 - 763"
where Start Page is begining of the beging of the constituent indesign document and last page is the end of the document.
I can only find a variable for Last Page. Where the start page variable?

But the Current Page Marker would only be the correct starting page at the very first page of each section! All next pages will show, well, the Current Page ...
There is no variable for this, it seems. A cross-reference might work -- initally, it's more work, but at least it will update automatically as you move pages around. Point against is, you would need to create a new master page for each article! (Assuming your footer is on a master page.)
I don't see a good solution out of the box.
