How to add cover sheet without affecting page numbering?

No replies yet, so perhaps I should change the question to "Can one add a new section break at the beginning of a document?"
Or "How do you apply a section break on a Master Page so that when the Master Page is added at the beginning of a document, it does not change the numbering of the pages that follow?"
Thanks very much for any help!
[ORIGINAL QUESTION: Is it possible to add a cover sheet to an InDesign document without affecting the existing page numbering? I have a series of chapters from a book that need to be posted individually and require a cover sheet. Each chapter begins on a recto page and the page numbering is set with a prefix (the chapter number) and page number, e.g., page 1.1. I can manage to add the cover sheet without the other pages shuffling, but the cover page always becomes page 1.1 and the text thus begins on page 1.2 (even though it's a recto page). Is there any way to do this without having to manually reset all the page numbering in the Numbering & Section Options window?
Thanks for any help you can give---many such documents to work on.... Also, never submitted a question before, so hope I've done this correctly! ---JCI]

There are really two things to consider here. First is that page numbering normally controls which side of the spine a page is on (and switching sides can cause all sorts of problems if you have master text frames). Second is preseving the existing numbering.
It's no problem to reset the numbering by starting a new section after you add the new page to the front of the file, but if this is a facing pages file you will want to add two pages to start so the rest of the doc doesn't switch sides, then start a new section and reset the start number (sorry, no way I know to do this other than manually). Now you can delete one of the pages in the first section and reset the number on the remaining new page to odd or even as appropriate and add your content.

Add cover sheet without affecting existing page numbering?

I guess the lack of response means either that my question is inappropriate in some way or else it's difficult or impossible to answer! Thanks for letting me post it anyway!
This seems to be a very informative site (just figured out how to access it and read the responses to all the questions), and I know I'll learn a lot from reading it in the future---so thanks on that account also.   ---JCI
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Hi,
I have a script that inserts a new page (a cover sheet) at the beginning of a document (a chapter from a book) and makes a few other tweaks. It works perfectly _except_ for the following glitches:
(1) The pages shuffle (I would like the cover sheet to be a recto page and the first page of the document to be a recto page as well; the rest are facing pages ).
(2) The pages renumber (I would like to the cover sheet to be an invisible page number roman numeral "i" and the first page of the document to be page 1.1.
(3) If I just renumber the pages manually, I also have to retype all the section names that have been inserted previously into the section marker field (I have about 160 documents to work on, so....)
Is there any way to have the script avoid these problems? Please note that I inherited this script and know virtually nothing about scripting. Any help you can give—including any thoughts on whether coming up with such a script would even be possible—will be greatly appreciated!! Here is the script (and thanks in advance!):
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
var myFile;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
if(myFolder != null){
    myFile = myFolder.getFiles();
    for(i=0; i<myFile.length; i++) {
        app.open(File(myFile[i]));
// insert page at beginning and apply master page
        app.activeDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);
        var myMasterSpread = app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item("C-WebP1");
        app.activeDocument.pages[0].appliedMaster = myMasterSpread;
// find and remove "[advanced release]" from document
          app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = true;
          app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
          app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "[advance release]" ;
          app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = " ";
          app.activeDocument.changeText();
          app.findTextPreferences = null;
          app.changeTextPreferences = null;
// determine if last page is blank and if so, delete
         var Lpage = app.activeDocument.pages.lastItem();
         if(Lpage.pageItems.length==0&&Lpage.guides.length==0){
                Lpage.remove();
// save and close file
        app.activeDocument.save(new File(myFile[i]));
        app.activeDocument.close();

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

How to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1?

Could anyone please tell me how to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1.
I am making FAQ list, and I would like to make the first page of the document as a list of questions and when a user click on each question, it jumps to the answer (in the same document).
I found "Add link" tool but it allows you to jump URL or email only.
I was able to set the list of questions as an index page of "Table of contents" tool and jump to a question page by clicking each page number, however, it fails when I put a question in a table (I would like to place each question and answer in tables for a visual purpose).
It seems a jump by using "Table of contents" become invalid when the contents are placed in a chart. WHy?
Are there any way to solve this problem?
any advise will be appreciated.

Hello, I would like to know how to add or delete single cell in numbers.

If by delete you really mean clear the contents of a cell, then just click once on the cell and hit the 'delete' button.
Before:
After hitting delete button:
In some circumstances you can actually delete one cell.
For example here, I make this choice:
Resulting in this:
So it's not strictly true that Numbers does not delete one cell, ever. It can if you have a one-column table.
So never say never or not ever! Enough pedantry for today!

I am sharing a account with my mother. I would like to change my itune account to a separate account. How can I do that without affecting her itune account?

I share a itune account with my mother. I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account. How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes? It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa. After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

How to add Video on the OAF page like youtube ?

Any one know how to add Video on the page?

If you are getting HTML code from one of these slideshow.com places, you can add this code to your iWeb pages with a little bit of work. Two things to keep in mind...1. No way to do this via iWeb directly, so it involves editing the published html files, and 2. Because iWeb republishes the html files whenever you update the your webpage, you will lose your changes and have to redo them to add your slideshows back.
The general directions are as follows...
1. Decide where you want your slideshow and know exactly what dimensions you need.
2. Insert a text box onto your page and adjust its size to exactly your dimensions.
3. Type in some uniquely identifiable text like, "SLIDESHOWHERE" without changing the font or anything else...just type it in.
4. Publish your page with iWeb.
5. Find the html file associated with your published page (either on your iDisk or in a folder depending on how you published) and open it in any text editor (like Microsoft Word, or Textedit, or anything). You may need to set your text editor to "ignore rich text" or to "show HTML source".
6. Scroll through the html file and locate your placeholder text, e.g. "SLIDESHOWHERE".
7. Replace the placeholder text with your html code and save your page.
That's it. You should see your slideshow element show up in Safari where you placed the text box in iWeb!

Pages 5.2.2 - how to add a logo in the page header

Hi, how can I add a logo in the page header of each page?!
seems header and footer only supports text and automated page numbering only...
I need some advise on this one
thanks

Add an image to any page in the section, then drag it where you want it to appear on each page.
Reduce the opacity using the slider in the Style pane of the Format inspector to change the object’s transparency.
Choose Arrange > Section Masters > Move Object to Section Master (from the Arrange menu at the top of your computer screen).

How to add an image in multiple pages?

Hi,
First be aware that before posting this, I digged into Google but could not find a solution.
How to add an image in the footer section of a PDF document of size, say, 500pages? I am not going to add it one by one in very page, it's too time consuming.
Is there a way to add it in the footer section or any other alternative, so that I end up with the same image in an exact position in all 500 pages?
Thanks for your reply
Best,
Eric

How to format my computer without affecting the software installed?

how do I format my computer without affecting the software installed?

You can, but if you don't format the drive using the Zero Data option all your personal files will still be accessible to someone who knows how to gain access to them. If that's not a concern then here are two options (easy and not so easy):
The Easy Way
1. First, boot from your Tiger DVD, select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select your boot hard drive, go to the First Aid tab, and click the button for Repair Disk. Repeat this until no trouble is found. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. Then quit DU, return to the installer and shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes.
This will assure that the drive is OK and permissions are OK.
2. Next, boot to single user mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
3. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
/sbin/fsck -yf
mount -uw /
rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when you reboot, it will send you to the startup wizard where you can start a new user without reinstalling.
The Not So Easy Way
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
First, back up the data:
1) Shut down all Virtual PCs. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
2) Clone to an external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Next, prepare the machine for the new buyer:
3) Deauthorize the computer in iTunes! Deauthorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
4) Remove Open Firmware passwords
5) Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
Install a fresh OS:
6) Insert the OS X install CD/DVD.
7) Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
8) Run Disk Utility from the file menu and erase the internal hard drive (optionally zero all data).
9) Install OS X.
10) Reboot the computer.
11) From the welcome screen, you can skip the registration step by typing command-Q.
12) When prompted, create an account (it will be an admin account).
13) From your new admin account, configure networking.
14) Then use Software Update to bring your system and all of it's applications up to date.
15) From Disk Utility, repair permissions on the new volume.
Now delete the account you just created:
16) Boot from a different volume (e.g. a firewire drive, if available)
17) Clean up the image using the following terminal commands:
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/BootCache.playlist
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/volinfo.database
prompt> rm -r /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/vm/swap*
18) Now you can get rid of the admin account you used to set up the machine Use the terminal:
prompt> nicl -raw /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -delete /users/<admin>
prompt> rm -r /Volumes/<imagevol>/Users/<admin>
prompt> rm /Volumes/<imagevol>/var/db/.AppleSetupDone
19) Shut down and ship it to your buyer. When they get it, it will boot to the Welcome screen just like a factory Mac, except that it's better because it's completely up to date.

From your description, my understanding is that you want to use video tag in your Office 365.
You should check the video type in your issue, video tag only support mp4 file which you could refer to this article:http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp.
