Formatting for page number

I use an iMac with System 10.3.9, and Appleworks 6.2.9. I frequently need the page format "Page X of Y" (For example, Page 1 of 3). Is there any way to set up this format so I can type it in with one key stroke?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Sharon
I'm assuming you want to put "Page x of y" in a header or footer. Actually, once you set this up it won't require any keystrokes.
Start with a new, blank document & insert the header or footer from the Format menu. Type "Page" then [space]. Now, choose Insert Page #... from the Edit menu & leave "Page Number" selected. Type [space] of [space}. Insert Page #... again, but this time, choose "Document Page Count." You can select all of the text now in the header/footer, copy & paste it into the header/footer of any AppleWorks document & it will appear as intended without any more typing.
Make any other changes such as margins, fonts, tabs, etc. that you want each time you create a new document with this header/footer & then Save As... a template giving the template a name. Don't change the default location & this template will then be available in Starting Points.
Should you want all of your new documents to be in this format, save the template with the name AppleWorks WP Options. My user tip, New, blank documents with your settings, has more on creating default templates.

Different format for page numbers on different pages

Hi guys,
Currently I'm about to finish my thesis. Pages has been a great help with everything, until now. The problem is that I want to add page numbers, but some pages should have a different numbering then others. To clarify here is my table of contents with the desired page numbers:
-Figures          i
-Tables          ii
-Acronyms     iii
-Chapter 1     1
-Chapter 2     15
-Chapter 3     27
-Appendix     iv
-Summary     v
So the stuff that is not directly main content should be numbered in roman numbers. The chapters then can have normal numbers.
I've been trying for a while to make this happen now, but without luck. Anyone know how to accomplish this? I would be very thankful.

Divide into Sections by inserting section breaks between and make the Roman numerals the first part and restart the numbering at Chapter 1:
Inspector > Layout > Section > Start at: 1 / uncheck Use previous headers and footers
To change the numbering format in the header or footer, right click on the page number and choose what you want.

Workaround solution for page number problem in books to PDF

I needed to create a spiral-bound book from Aperture, and decided to print to PDF to create a master rather than going through the online ordering option. Discovered the page numbers were always missing or jumbled whether I used the Automatic or Always On page number settings, even through they were displayed in Aperture correctly. In the final preview before printing to PDF, they become corrupted and no longer display correctly.
To workaround this problem:
1. Turn the Page Numbers option to Off in Aperture. (This option is located in the pull-down menu of the Gear icon under the pages thumbnails.)
2. Print to PDF without any page numbers.
3. Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (to have write priveledges.)
4. From the Document option in the top bar, Add Headers and Footers.
5. Click the Footer tab, to add page numbers.
NOTE: If you want to change the format of your page numbers on odd and even pages for a two page spread, you have to add them in two different passes. For example, insert page number in left column, then repeat action to insert page number in right column only while enabling replacement of existing page numbers. You can choose to start page numbering on any page.
7. Save your PDF, and you can have it printed wherever you want.

Hack for page number cross-references?

Anyone have hack for dealing with the lack of page number
cross-references in the printed documentation?
kfc

Sorry for the slow reply, I needed to check with someone
about a macro they had but it is not one that will do what you
want.
Is page numbering a requirement or do you would you be happy
with working links? If working links would be sufficient, there is
a macro on my site under Print Issues but it relies on the string
for the link being exactly the same as the string for the target.

Links Palette Showing for Page Number

I can't find anything about this on these forums or in a Google search, so I'm not sure what's happening.
We publish a dozen 300-page catalogs a year with several thousand images. Each catalog is comprised of sections. Once in a while (probably more often than not), instead of the page number on which it appears, one or more of the linked images shows < > in the page number column of the links palette. If we click on it (to show the image), nothing happens.
Has anyone encountered this before? We're using CS4 for Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Lloyd

Steve,
I will as soon as we see one again, which shouldn't be long. We exported the section as XML from the "structure" pane then imported it as XML and those bad links were gone, which is kind of a band-aid for now. I'd like to know what's causing it, though.
I'll attach a screen capture as soon as I can. Thanks.

Border format for Page Items

So, in order to get a derived value to show in something resembling a header, I've followed a tip found elsewhere in the forum and created a calculated item, then put that calculated item into the Page Items area. Voila, this value now prints on every page. Not perfect, but close enough.
So, is there any way to fix the 'border' or 'outline' formatting? Where currently I have black lines around my Page Items that look like |______|______| ?
At the same time, is there a way to suppress the single vertical line in the data area lines? [I have only horizontal grid lines turned on... so why do we have this single vertical line on the left side?]

Hi all
Also, when alternate sorts are in use these will generally trigger Discoverer to add the NOREWRITE hint to the SQL, which can cause horribly slow performance.
I used to use alternate sorts a lot but these days I use them very sparingly. When I want a list of values to come up in a certain order I now use a custom folder and add the ORDER BY in there. This allows the list to come up right when my users are picking and stops the NOREWRITE hint, but it also removes the alternate sorting from the display.
There are other causes for the inclusion of NOREWRITE hint but this is the main one.
Best wishes

Format for a number including the tousand separator (')

I like to have the following format
1'234'567.90 // NNN'NNN'NNN.NN
How can I do that in R6i ?

Roger,
Try the following:
assign a format mask NNNGNNNGNNNDNN.
G stands for Group separator
D stands for Decimal separator
both are standard SQL format mask elements and must be UPPERCASE.
In the Registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle, create a new entry NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS with value .' (two symbols, the first is the decimal, the second is the group).
Close and re-open Reports Builder (or Reports Runtime) and try it.
Unfortunately, this will affect all reports, not just this one.
If you wanted this effect only for this one, one workaround is to create a DOS batch file that sets the value for the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS and runs the report.
Hope this helps,
Pedro das Neves

Where can I find MLA/ALA formats for pages

My girlfriend wants to buy Office 08 because it has built-in templates for MLA/ALA. I told her with Pages 09 and Office '04 she should be able to find a template. Any ideas?

Simply open and convert the Word templates which you should be able to DL from Microsoft's site.

How to know the total page number of the standard report

How to know the total page number of the standard report?
If I insert a graph, a table, or text into the end of the standard report, how to know how much space is left for the current page?

Hello Net,
Unfortunately, we do not have any VIs in LabVIEW that can figure out the number of pages of a standard report. However, with the use of ActiveX calls you can achieve this task. Here are a couple of discussion forums which discuss this:

Customer contact ( VAP1 ) add pager number with BDC

hi ,
While creating Customer Contact for Pager number entry there is a POP alv , from where Pager need to be selected . while recording BDC it doesnt copy that Okcodes for the POP UP ALV .
So how to Add Pager number for mass upload .
Ashok

This has been noted by a few people, must have been either a mistake or Blackberry's way of cutting down on the drug trade. Do drug dealers even use pagers anymore? Just kidding!
I would call the issue into your Carrier's Blackberry support team so that it gets officially recognized and fixed in a future release.
As a workaround for now I can suggest moving the pager numbers to any other type of telephone field.

How to retrieve page number of a page

Hi
I need to retrieve page numbers that have been placed on InDesign pages. However these page numbers are autogenerated based on markers (formula) created using a master page. (Insert special characters -> markers).
When i try to retrieve page items on a page, I am not able to get the page number item. If I try to get the pageitem corresponding to the page number from the master page, I get back the marker but not the page number that exists on my page.
I am wondering if there is any way I can retrieve the page number on a given page using the SDK
many thanks
Sam

Hi
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.. For my usecase i now realize i have a different sort of problem.
I am trying to take snapshot of pageitems on a page (using snapshotUtils sample). Now since the page number marker comes from the master page, when i take the snapshot of the page number item on my page, this page item exists on the master page. On the master page, this pagenumber does not contain the actual page number but the marker text in it. So mysnapshot gives me the image of the marker text rather than the page number. I am wondering what I can do to basically get a snapshot of a page item which comes from a marker on the master page
Thus on my master page i have a text box with Pagenumber: "Marker A" for page number
on my page, I want to take snapshot of Pagenumber:10 which is what gets displayed on my page
However when i take snapshot, since i am taking snapshot of master page item, i get Pagenumber: Marker A as my snapshot
thanks
Sam
Here is my code snippet for what I am doing
InterfacePtr<IMasterPage>   masterPage(currentDocumentDataBase, pageUID, UseDefaultIID());
if(masterPage != nil)
      UID masterSpreadUID = masterPage->GetMasterPageUID();
        uint16 masterPageIndex = masterPage->GetMasterIndex();
       //get the master spread
        InterfacePtr<ISpread>   masterSpread( currentDocumentDataBase, masterSpreadUID, UseDefaultIID() );
       if(masterSpread   != nil)
                UIDList masterPageItems( currentDocumentDataBase );
                   masterSpread->GetItemsOnPage(masterPageIndex,   &masterPageItems, kFalse, kFalse);
The problem is that SnapShotUtilsEx captures the item as it appears on the master page, not on the current page. So thing like page markers are wrong.
thanks

Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.

Damir Vadas

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805

Initial-page-number not working in RTF format output

A report has a parameter for the page number to start with. In rtf template below code is present
<?initial-page-number:xdoxslt:ifelse(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM!=’’,number(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM),1)?>
The report page number starts with the value which we pass in p_first_page_num in PDF format but in rtf format output it always starts with 1.
Is initial-page-number not supported in RTF format output ? If not then what is the alternative?

the method u followed is fine as need a page number staring from a specify value which u input.
@section is only for resetting page number to 1 for every group and for that pdf and ppt will be fine but only for rtf u need to use that ( pressing F9).
u can use @section and initial page number combined but they give u same output as get now. rtf output wont support it will only reset 1 every time
What ever u do rtf output wont support initial page number code ..........
i mentioned that F9 work around to mention that it is the only work around u have upto now to control rtf output with regards to page number.
Guru's correct me if i am wrong. wait for a day or two if some one from guru's confirm it .
If u need real confirmation raise an SR oracle will let u know .
