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.

How do I have pages of my docs automatically numbered consecutively

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).

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

btw You turned it on when you hit command shift i, do it again and it turns it off.

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.

Adding Numbers spreadsheet to Pages 5.0

In the previous version of Pages/Numbers, I would create the table I needed in Numbers, then copy and paste that into my Pages document. It would transfer across with all formatting intact and look as it should.
In the new versions when I follow the same process, Pages re-formats the table to be about 1cm wide (no matter how many columns there are) and it doesn't automatically adhere to the page breaks as it did before.
Anybody got any clues how I can fix this?

Go back to the previous versions of Pages '09 and Numbers '09 which should be in the iWork folder inside Applications.

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

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.

A single paging numbered on even pages only...

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to achieve a book with IndesIgn. To do this, I created templates (= gabarit) as well as folio. Today I would like to put a single paging numbered on even pages only (this is to say that on the left page). And this paging does not take into account the odd page automatically (= right page).
To make it more understandable, I realized for you a screenshot that shows my work at this time and the result that I want :
I hope zoo much you could help me please!

Hi Peter!

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?

Page numbers on ALL pages

I'm trying to insert page numbers on ALL pages in a document in InDesign CS4. But I can only get page numbers to the page 74? This is so annoying, and it's due on monday, and I'm running out of time. Can anybody tell me, short and easy, how I can get page numbers on every page in my document? (Besides the front page - but I know how to not get the page number there.)
Thanks!
Ingvild

Huh? Simply put, you place the page number marker in a text frame on your master page(s), and you ensure that one of those master pages is applied to all pages where you want a page number.
Is that what you've done? What is not working? Is it page 74 and higher that is a problem? Just page 74?
Does page 74 use a different master page that doesn't have the page number marker?
Or is your document corrupt? [Did you try exporting to IDML or INX and re-opening the export?]

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

How can I eliminate the toolbar that comes up every time I swith websights and says Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page and when nothing comes up I have to hit ALLOW and most of the time it screws me up

I am running OS10 on a MAC and every time I go too another web site (most of the time) a new tool bar pops up that says " Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and on the other end I must hit the button ALLOW because it is usually screwing me up and Iwant to disable it or use another browser

Options > Advanced > General, un-check "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
'''If this reply solves your problem, please click "Solved It" next to this reply when <u>signed-in</u> to the forum.'''

When visiting certain sites, if I click on a featured link, I get the message: "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically directing to another page", How do I disable this so I am able to get to the page I want?

In this particular case, I was on a page that offered group discounts ("deals") that can be purchased for a limited time. To make the purchase, I needed to click onto the link with the name of the deal being offered. However, upon clicking on that link, I received the message from Firefox that it was preventing the page from automatically directing to another page i.e. the page that would have allowed me to make my purchase. Please answer quickly since the deal I want to purchase expires in three hours!
