Footnote renumbering using Section marker in pages

I want to add section marker after each and every chapter.
There is one default section marker at the start of the page. After that i can able to add only one section and if i try to add another one it's throwing error.
Please suggest.

That is part of your 1st page margins, click in the text:
Inspector > Layout > Layout > Layout Margins > reduce "Before"

Layout Margins | Second page of section marked 'first page is different'

I have some custom formatting for the first page of a section, marked in Inspector with 'First page is different': with a 3cm upper margin to set text to start below a banner image embedded in the section master.
However the second page of that section is not settable with a separate layout margin, and since the the banner on the second page is different, I need it to be.
Any ideas?

j,
You would have to put the Page Break and Section Break into your Template, so you would begin with two pages and two layouts already there.
You are getting into Page Layout territory here. At some point it's just easier to pre-define the whole document in a Page Layout format. It all depends on where you are going with this.

Need help understandin section breaks or page breaks

Hi there, was hoping I can gain a better undersrtanding of how to use section breaks and page breaks.
I have typed several reports while using apple pages. I click on the VIEW button on upper left corner and all the pages appear to run continously. I do not want that to continue to happen. How can I make each and every page its own page. I have done it once years ago and have observed a this fine line below each page under the view option so that I may move or rearragne pages. Can someone please help?

Pages 5.1 only lets you delete Sections, you can't drag them into place.
You can Menu > Insert > Section Break on the bottom of every page or
Setup > Document > uncheck Document Body which will delete all yout content in teh Document Body
or Better still use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Multiple section markers to pages for renumbering footnotes

I can able to add one section markers to any page. But if i try to add another section marker it is throwing the following error:
The error is: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Sorry, I misunderstood.
You are correct -- it does not work as expected in CS3 either. This one-line javascript
app.activeDocument.sections.add(app.activeWindow.activePage);
works, but only if you start at the end of a document and go backwards. For some reason, I cannot insert a new section after an existing one (not counting the very first).

How to change the header and footer in the Section Breaks Next Page using OpenXML?

I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.
Scenario of example, I have a doc file which has four pages with headers and footers and added fifth page in the section break next page, I want to change the header and footer of the fifth page only. This is achievable manually by deselecting the Link to Previous
button in the Word Application but I don't know how to change it using XML?
My code that adds the new page in the section breaks is:
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string path = @"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx";
string strtxt = "Hello This is done by programmatically";
OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(path,strtxt);
public static void OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(string filepath, string txt)
using (DocX document = DocX.Load(@"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx"))
document.InsertSectionPageBreak();
Paragraph p1 = document.InsertParagraph();
p1.Append("This is new section");
document.Save();

Using iWork 09 Pages I need the first six pages of a document to not be counted as page numbers. I need the seventh page to be numbered as page one. I already know to have a section break between pages 6 and 7 and to use inspector "start at." Not working

In the book I'm formatting, the first page is the title page, the second page is the copyright page, the third through fifth pages are the table of contents, the sixth page is blank, then the text (which I want to number as page one) is the introduction. I have section breaks between the title page, the copyright page, the table of contents, and the introduction. Using the Inspector, Layout, Section, and selecting "Start at" 7 doesn't do anything!

Is is a bit tricky, but it works. On your 6th page (the blank one) go to Insert > Section Break. This will give you a 7th page. Then go to Inspector (blue circle with a white letter i in it) and go to Layout Inspector (2nd tab). Once in thee, go to Section. Check "Start at" and enter the number 1. Then ensure all other toons I there are unchecked.
Then go to Insert, and select Auto Page Numbers. You will find that your 7th page is numbered 1 as you want, but the first six pages will be numbered 1 to 6, which you don't want. But you can then delete the page numbering in that 1st section, leaving your 2nd section, beginning at page 7, numbered as page 1. You'll need to play around a bit as I did, and I would suggest using a test document to play with so you can undo any unwanted actions etc, but with tweaking around, it's doable. This took me ages to sort, so if it works for you, please give me the points :-)

Footer required only on last page of report -template uses @section context

I have created a template that uses a tag - <?for-each@section:G_DELIVERY_ID?>. This is causing the Header and Footer to reset for each new Delivery ID. The template also has a last page only footer which I have added on the second page of template using <?start@last-page-first:body?> tag.
When the XML data has two Delivery IDs with one page data for each. This gives a two page output as expected.
The user requirement is that the last page only footer information in the template (on page 2) should be printed only on the last Delivery ID i.e. only once for the
report, that too on the last page of last Delivery ID. Currently the footer is printed on both pages of the report i.e. for bothe Delivery IDs. How can I achieve this?

Amit,
Did you find a solution to this issue.
Please advice what you have done to fix the issue.

Footnotes at the bottom of the page

For anyone interested – putting the above title in the search window didn't produce anything I mean. And I welcome better ideas. I work with a Dutch language version, so I hope I use the right terms.
Working on juridical textbooks with hundreds of sometimes long footnotes, I sometimes come to the next problem. It is possible to automatically let long footnotes break over two pages (see other threads to get explained how). But suppose there is another footnote marker a little after the 'long' one. This seems a bit too much for Indesign. Both markers and both footnotes go to the next page, leaving a big white gap, in mid-paragraph, at the bottom of the preceeding page.
My solution:
- cut the second footnote marker;
- add the right footnote number as normal text (probably in superscript) at that spot;
- paste the footnote marker at the end of the top paragraph on the next page;
- make a text style with text color set to paper (white);
- apply this text style to the pasted footnote marker.
Now it looks like the footnote marker is on the first page, and the entire footnote is on the second page (the real footnote marker is invisible). If in a later stage footnotes are added or text overruns, you can easily look for the 'white' text style to adapt things.
You can also use this trick when there is either space for the marker or for the footnote text at the bottom of a page but not for both, leaving at least one white line (although to the most of us, that will sound less urgent).
But of course it would be nice if Adobe solves this in a future version (I already suggested them to do so.)

An 8 line footnote will not normally take 8 lines of text: usually, the
type size is smaller and so is the leading in footnotes.
Personally, I don't mind a gap of up to 4 text lines or so if necessary
to keep the footnote indicator and the start of the footnote on the same
page (obviously, once the footnote starts on the page, it can flow on to
the next page; and this InDesign can cope with!). Although I would never
have such a gap in the middle of paragraph normally, in this case,
because there is also a footnote at the bottom of the page, it does not
stand out so much to my eye.
I didn't know that Word allows what you say. I'm surprised that it does.
This is what the Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.) has to say about
your problem: "In a work containing many long footnotes, it may be
difficult to fit them onto the pages they pertain to, especially in an
illustrated work. A basic requirement for all footnotes is that they at
least begin on the page on which they are referenced. Several long
footnotes with their references falling close together toward the end of
a page present a major problem in page makeup. There is also the matter
of appearance; a page consisting almost exclusively of footnotes is
daunting. For some remedies, see 16.36–40."
And the first remedy (16.36): "Avoiding overlong footnotes: Lengthy,
discursive notes should be reduced or integrated into the text..."
Obviously, nobody can force you to take this advice. But you're asking
the InDesign team to spend days and or months of programming to
accommodate your editor or publisher's bad practice in allowing such
long footnotes in the first place, despite what I think is a consensus
that apart from the "daunting look," this will also cause "a major
problem in page makeup." And your solution is to have the footnote begin
on a different page from its text indicator, whereas Chicago says "A
basic requirement for all footnotes is that they at least begin on the
page on which they are referenced." Many readers would, I think, agree
with that assertion!
Anyway, the more flexibility the better, as far as I'm concerned. But I
seems to me that it's wrong to expect the InDesign team to offer a
solution to a problem that is caused by bad editorial practice. Fix the
editors, not the programmers!

Adding section to active page

Hi
I´m trying to create a very simple javascript for adding new section to active page. So far I have made following code:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var numero = app.activeWindow.activePage.name;
var numero2 = numero -1;
myDoc.sections.add(myDoc.pages[numero2]);
It basically works as it should, whren I double-click some page thumbnail in pages panel, that page will become active... and if I run the script at that point it usually adds section to active page pretty nicely....
However, if I use that script with Configurator 2.0 and create a custom panel, with Add a section button (where I have attached that same javascript) InDesign starts to throw me some weird alert:
If I answer yes, script will work as it should, but I would like to make it work so that users won´t get that alert at all....
If I run that scrpt from Scripts panel, it works without alerts...
Another thing I have tried to figure out is how to create some kind of error handler that would stop the script if active page already has a section start, now script generates a javascript error in those cases.... it would be more classy if simply nothing happened....
Any help appreciated.... thanks

Thanks guys...=) but no luck here....
And I noticed something quite weird. This script is meant to use with single pages, but when I accidentally used it with facing pages spreads, I got that same alert + script changed the way page numbers are marked below thumbs:
It replaced 10-11 with 10,11
I also tried
try {
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var numero = app.documents[0].layoutWindows[0].activePage.name;
var numero2 = numero -1;
myDoc.sections.add(myDoc.pages[numero2]);
} catch (e)
{ $.writeln("Error "+e.message+" at line "+e.line);}
But I still have that same alert.... When I run that code in Extend Script ToolKit, I got following javascrip console message:
Error undefined is not an object at line 2
Result: undefined

Add Style in Section Marker

Hi all
I have a 4 page document, each page has different running head. So I placed Section Marker in master page. Now I am fine, in my 2nd page running head my Section Marker should be
MY TITLE AND YOUR TITLE.
the word AND should be ITALIC character style?
How can I apply this? any one had experience this before?
thanks in advance

Section markers contain text only, no formatting. There's no way to do
what you want with the section marker.
You didn't mention version. ID CS3 and CS4 will let you use variables,
which *also* cannot contain formatting, but you might be able to use two
or three variables on the master page, like
{My Title variable} and {Your Title variable}
I've never tried it, but another option might be nested styles. Nested
styles would only work if there was a consistent pattern (i.e., after 3
words, or after one colon, or up to 3 spaces, etc.). Again, I've never
tried it, but I don't think you can include an end-of-nested-style
character in a section marker or variable (but let me know if I'm wrong).
Of course, for 4 pages, setting up section markers or variables is more
work than just typing the running head locally on each page. Are you
sure you didn't mean 40 or 400 page document?

Find/Change in Section Marker

I would like to have a Find/Change Text or GREP option which also can Find/Change the text in the Section Marker. While working with books and magazines i use the Section Marker a lot (which you can find in the Numbering & Section Options panel). Already had the unpleasant encounter with unchanged text in the Section Marker a several times.
I think this is a effective feature to add...
If you know a solution, i am very interested!
Best regards,
dtpartner

I used it to insert new running heads per chapter. Insert the Section Marker symbol into a large enough text frame onto a single master page. Then set every chapter to use a new section, and copy its title into the Section Marker field in the Page Numbering panel.
Using variables is alike, but much easier, because you define the variable to pick up the latest text in a style named so-and-so, and then you don't have to worry anymore about did-I-add-a-section-already and what-if-I-insert-pages. It's all in the Help.
[Added] And if the chapter title changes, the variable is updated automatically.

Section Marker Spacing

I'm in InDesign CS4 on a Mac - I've created text based Section Markers for a book and for some weird reason there is no spacing between the words for each Section Marker "Title". There are spaces for each title when I entered them in the "Numbering and Section Options" menu so I'm slightly confused.
ie:
This is what I get: ThisIsTheTitle
This is what I want: This Is The Title
Any suggestions?

I've noticed this, too. If the section marker is used on a master page the text shows up as "Section", when it picks up compresses to fit on a single line, so if the text box isn't wide enough to fit the text, it compresses it to fit on a single line. (The word and letter spacing is ignored). Like so:

Section markers and pages

Hi, I have a document which I've divided into sections (mainly for the purpose of putting different headers into each section). The problem is that whenever I add content to a page that overflows onto a new page, the section marker for the next section (the little down arrow above the page on the pages panel) doesn't move as well, forcing me to remove that section marker and make a new section marker on the next page where the beginning of that section was bumped to. Is there a way to get around this? Maybe I haven't set up my document/sections right?

Sounds like you want running heads that change according to the content on the page, instead of static section markers attached to the pages themselves. I didn't see a version number anywhere in this thread.
With ID CS3, Adobe added variables. The Running Header Variable will let you pick up the content of a paragraph or character style from text and display it in a running header. So, for instance, if you want your chapter title to display at the top of all left pages, you make a running header variable that references the chapter title paragraph style and put it on the left master page. Now at the beginning of each new chapter (or whenever you've used the chapter title paragraph style) the left running head will change.
Is that what you want?

I can't delete section breaks in page,

Hi there, this is my first time using sections in Pages. I've tried your online tutorials but I don't seem to be able to combine two sections together, because I can't work out how to delete the section breaks without deleting the document.
The dotted blue line, which I imagine I'm supposed to be fn+delete-ing deletes the substance of the page also. I'm not sure if it makes much difference but the pages I'm working on are only using pictures.
I need to get the sections right for my TOC.
I really appreciate your help. I'm loving my mac, but this bits giving me a headache!
Cheers, S

Hi poolpony
I suspect you have a lot of pictures mixed in with paragraph returns.
When you have a combination of images with the default word wrap on, not quite filling up the width of the page they can interact in unpredictable ways. This can make them pop and disappear when the page they are on disappears from under them.
Select the images and:
+Inspector > Wrap > Object Placement > Floating+
also:
+Inspector > Wrap > uncheck Object Causes Wrap+
Since there are many ways your returns, inline graphics, wrap and section breaks can interact, if you still have problems email me the file by clicking on my blue name and I'll fix it.
