Continuing Paragraph Numbering in a 2nd document

I want to create a series of documents, with automatic paragraph numbering in each one, but continuing on from one to the next. I can't see a way to get the numbering to start at a number other than one in a new document.
Am I missing something, or is this just not possible in AppleWorks?
I really don't want to do it as one long document, because it will just be too big and hard to manage.
Thanks.
iBook Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Paragraph numbering automatically restarts at 1 for each document, or for each separate group of paragraphs to which the style is applied. So far as I know, there's no way to start the numbering at any other level.
One workaround (and it's a rather clunky one) would be to insert enough 'empty' paragraphs at the top of the second document to make the first 'real' paragraph's number correct. Paragraph numbers increment only when the new paragraph contains at least a single character, so each of the 'empty' paragraphs would have to contain one dummy character. Setting the Size to the minimum 4 points would make these paragraphs take up the least (visual) space, and ending the list of 'empty' paragraphs with a page break (shift-enter) would allow starting the 'real' part of the second document at the top of a new page.

Figure numbering AND paragraph numbering in the same document

Hi everyone,
I have a document with both figure numbering and paragraph numbering. So let say I am in section 4, then the first paragraph would be "4.1. Introduction" and the first picture would be "Figure 4.1: Cool pics".
I created two different lists, one for the figure and another one for the text so that figure numbers and paragraph number don't conflict. However I cannot add the section number in the figure numbering since it's on the other list... I tried to have the figure numbering and paragraph numbering in the same list, but then the numbers conflict (e.g it gives 4.1 Introduction and Figure 4.2: Cool pics).
Can anyone help me, doing what I want (which is "4.1. Introduction" and "Figure 4.1: Cool pics")? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
ps: I am using Indesign CS5.5 on a pc

Thanks for your answer Jump_Over, but my project is already divided into chapters (themselves divided in sections) in a book.
I found a way around by having the figure numbering in the same list as the paragraph numbering, the twist : while I use level 1 to 4 in paragraph numbering, I use level 5 for figure numbering with a numbering definition like ^1.^#, so no more conflict between numbers.
It's working fine so far...

How to continue outline numbering across pages

Using InDesign CS4 on Mac... Sorry for the newb question, but I've got a section on the right-hand side of my document that has outline numbering across a couple pages. I've used separate text boxes for each page. Is it possible to continue this numbering so that 1-5 show up on page 1 and 6-10 show up on page 2? Thanks!

As janine4gg mentions, the link she gives is one to a multi-part series in that blog that helps with all different numbering tasks. I recommend looking at the the first in that series: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/04/numbered_lists_part_i_outlines.html.
Using defined paragraph styles that include a numbering style and using a defined numbered list, there should be no issues about where or which side numbered items fall on for numbering to continue correctly.
If you mean that you have a text frame that you use to contain an outline and you need it to break in a certain place, you would put a text frame break in. Type > Insert Break Character > Frame Break. Link the text frame with the break to the text frame you want the text to flow into.

Script to Change Paragraph Numbering

Hi.
I am really new to scripting (please don't hurt yourself laughing at my code below ) and need some help!
The issue: The documents I author go through a translation process which takes the InDesign XML data and exports my text into a web browser tool so it can be translated. After it has been translated, the text is placed back into my document with the formatting and paragraph styles that it had when I exported it. That created a problem with Figure and Table captions as those paragraph styles have "Figure" and "Table" hardcoded into the paragraph style.
Possible Solution: On page one of each document that is generated, I list the language of that document (for example "Russian"). I think I need to write a script that goes looks at the first page and if it has a language listed (in this case "Russian") then it replaces the paragraph numbering text with a defined text ("Рисуноk" is "Figure" in Russian).
if ((app.documents.length != 0) && (app.selection.length != 0)) {
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
myStringList = myStyles.everyItem().name;
// What im trying to do below: If page 1 contains text “Russian” then Change the “Figure Title” paragraph numbering style to “Рисунок ^#.” I am missing the page 1 text find function.
var myPara = appliedParagraphfstyle;
myPara.numberingStartAt: Рисунок ^#.
I’m so lost!!!! Help! Screenshots below to show what im trying to achive. Thank you so much!

Hmm, I think what you're after is "numbering expression" rather than "start at."
"Start at" is the actual number it's going to assign, to either continue from the previous number or if you're hard-coding to always start at 1, for example.
The expression is the form it'll take, with wording and spacing you're using as your format for these labels. In AppleScript, it'd be:
set numbering expression of paragraph style "Figure Title" to "Рисунок ^#. "
I don't know Javascript, but there must be something similar in the JS scripting guide.
Hope that helps!

Paragraph Numbering

Can anyone help with these two problems in Pages for iPad?
- When using numbered paragraphs in Pages and then exporting that document to Word, the paragraph numbers always start at 0. This happens in Word for PC and Mac. I know it is easy to alter them in Word but it should not be necessary.
- Is there a way to insert space or an extra line in between numbered or bullet paragraphs in Pages?
Any help appreciated.

When I must do that, I insert a text box whose height matches the page one.
So, it's quite easy to type numbers in it exactly in front of the paragraphs.

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???

Jules,
You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

any suggestions

It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

How to insert page numbers in a PDF document?

How to insert page numbers in a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.2?
Thanks.

OK, I found it myself:
1. Tools - Pages - Edit Page Design - Header & Footer - Add Header & Footer.
2. Select the font and size, etc, place the cursor on the appropriate site to insert the page number, click the "Insert Page Number" button, and click OK.
That is!

Numbers won't open documents in Mountain Lion.

I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini that shipped with Mountain Lion. I installed iWork from the original DVD and ran software updates to get the latest release. The apps launch, but will not open any of my iWork documents. I get the following errors in the logs:
8/13/12 5:22:44.903 PM Numbers[6566]: Exception opening document: *** -[NSConcreteData initWithContentsOfFile:options:error:]: nil file argument
8/13/12 5:22:44.904 PM Numbers[6566]: Failed to open document, but no unrecoverable error
And I sometimes get the following error on screen "The document "document name" could not be opened." note "document name" is actually the name of the document I am trying to open.
I've uninstalled the application manually, and with AppZapper on 3 seperate occasions, making sure to clear out any preference files, empty the trash and reboot afterwards. Then reinstalled and ran updates after logging back in, but to no-avail. If I try to open the template viewer I get these errors in the log.

Pages and Keynote seem to have the same issue, I can't create new documents or open exitsing ones. I can keep uninstalling and reinstalling, but that doesn't seem to be the correct path. Anyone have any ideas?

I ended up finding a solution on my own. I re-uninstalled the iWork apps, deleting the apps, preferences and library\application support\iWork folder at the root of the Macintosh HD. After a restart, reinstalled the iWork software from my DVD. I then manually downloaded and installed the iWork 9.2 upgrade from Apple, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563 , instead of using the App Store software update method. Once completed, I ran permissions repair for good measure, though nothing was repaired. Launched and the apps are working as expected.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Creation of new numbering interval for FI documents - FBN1 transaction

Dear Experts, good day!
When trying to create new numbering intervals for FI documents (FBN1 transaction), inserting the needed entries to a customizing request (only those new entries, related to future years) and release it to the Quality environment, we have noted the new entries didn't get into the destination system.
Have someone seen this before? Would you know why does that happen? How can we transfer the NRIV table contents to the other environments (Quality and Production)?
Thanks a lot,
Daniel.

To copy number ranges to a new year you do with the transaction OBH2.
When you want to transport number ranges you ask for problems. Only for a new implementation you can do it but not when there are existing number ranges with postings for that company

[JS,CS3,CS4] Converting Paragraph numbering to text

I'm trying to add line numbers by applying paragraph numbering to selected text (which I call "myText"), then converting numbers to text (then later I'll use GREP to remove the period and shift them to the right).
I'm new to scripting, and wonder why the following doesn't work:
myText.bulletsAndNumberingListType=1280601709;
myText.convertBulletsAndNumberingToText();
The first line seems to add the numbering as I'd like, but the second line just makes them disappear again!
Thanks for any help you can give -- Jeremy

I just had a similar problem.
I have no idea whether my solution works in CS3.
( function() {
     var doc = app.activeDocument;
     // the image page item
     var r = doc.rectangles.item(0);
     // the destination textframe to hold the inline
     var tf = doc.textFrames.item(0);
     // it should already be tagged.
     // create a nested, blank tag
     var xe = tf.associatedXMLElement.xmlElements.add("bla");
     // copy the rect as inline
     xe.placeIntoInlineCopy(r,true);
