How to create inconsistent numbered list style?

Can I create paragagraph style with inconsistent numbered list in InDesign CS4? I created a style with numbered list but when I apply it to the second list on another page of my document list numbering continues from last number of previous list (in consecutive order). What's up? I want to get the same effect as in Microsoft Word.

Yesterday I created new discussion on topic of numbered list style.
Then I found out about Restart numbering not working for numbered lists created w/ paragraph style one and began to experiment.
I would like numbered lists to begin with #1 by means of style as on this page.
I did it using Numbered List on the Control Panel. It does what I want.

I’ve created numbered list style (body text) that has no number at LEVEL 1 and use that to restart the numbering (see 2 JPG)
Secondly, I’ve also created the Numbered List style as Dominic Hurley advises:
This is result (see 3 JPG):
And this is the final result of my work (see 4 JPG):
1, 2 -7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 -18
It is still all Greek to me.
Please help me to understand this. What am I doing wrong????

Here is it:

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

I am trying to create a numbered list

I am trying to creat a numbered list that looks like this:
1-1-1
1-1-2
1-1-3
and so on
So that at the end of each sentence when I press 'return' the list goes from 1-1-1 to 1-1-2 and then 1-1-3 etc.
Any information as to how to do that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What you describe seems like a tiered number list.
On the format bar, at the right where you would normaly select a list type, click on "Show More". On the Inspector pane that will apear select "Tiered Numbers".

How to create a Custom List without the column "Title" ?

Maybe this one is easy as it sounds, I just want to know how to create a little list for my SharePoint application featuring 3 columns:
1 - User Name (this should be Person type - UNIQUE + Required)
2 - Report (Memo - Required)
3 - Status (Choice + Required)
The list will be used to allow the users to submit a weekly report and I don't want to include the title because there is no use to me, I know I can hide the column by customizing the list but this sounds very amateur even for a newbie like me (yeah... sounds
so cheap!), since I've been reading a lot about custom content types and I still didn't get the chance to use this properly I was wondering how I could put them to use and I guess the example here would be the best right?
I really spent some time trying but I always end getting the Title even when I try to use custom content types so I'm really giving up and asking for some help at this point.
Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Yes, you can do that. If you need a different content type with your custom fields. Following are the steps : http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=620
After creating your custom Content Type, Click on the 'Title' filed in your custom content type.
In the 'Column Settings' make it 'Hidden (Will not appear in forms)' and click ok.
Now add this content type to your list/library.
In the list/Library go to setting and 'Advance settings' and make the 'Allow management of Content Type?' as 'yes' and click ok.
Now make default content type not visible from 'Change new button order and default content type' link in the settings page of list/library, and your contet type as 'Default'.
Create a new view, remove the 'Title' field and make that view as 'dafault' view, you can delete the 'All Items' view also if required.
Now whenever user come to that list/Library they will not see the title column and also will not appear in the 'New Item'.
Note : The 'Title' field is mandatory in all the list/library and by default added to the 'All Item' view. So, by doing above steps you are creating a new content type where 'Title' is not mandatory and also not added in default view.

Is it possible to create a numbered list with text label?

I'm using Pages 5.0 on Mac OS X Mavericks.
I'm writing a document that consists of tables and figures, which I'd like to number. For both objects I use a numbered list, which I prepend to the caption for easy reference. Ideally I'd like to have two lists (one for each type) with a label which contains both a text and a number, the tabels would look like this:
For tables: "TABLE <number>:"
For figures: "FIGURE <number>:"
While it's not hard to create lists with either a text or a number label, I can't figure out how to combine the two.
So my question: is what I'm trying to do possible and if yes, how do I achieve the desired effect?

What you are asking for has never been a feature in Pages. I don't think that is an added feature in Pages 5.0 either.

How to create automatically numbered chapters?

If I write a number of chapters and then wish to delete or add some in the middle, the numbers above them will get out of order. It would be fantastic to be able to create a list style that numbers the chapters automatically like in a numbered list, but with a number being above and a block of text below. Is something like this:

How to create a Printer List in Forms 4.5

How can I create a Printer list on Forms 4.5 to show all
available printers?
Thanks.

I fear there is no direct solution.
May be this is a work-around:
1. Apply the older built-in: Display_item. You can't disable the item with display_item, but you can change the visual attribute and show the user that this item should not be checked.
2. To be shure that the user doesn't ignore this "disable", you need a trigger, which resets the item to the proper value after an illegal change.

How to create a Access list on core switch to bloxk all Internet Traffic & allow some specific Internet Traffic

Hellp Everyone,
I am trying to create a Access-List on my Core Switch, in which I want to allow few internet website & block the rest of them.
I want to allow the whole Intranet but few intranet websites also needs access to the internet.
Can we create such Access-List with the above requirement.
I tried to create the ACL on the switch but it blocks the whole internet access.
i want to do it for a subnet not for a specific IP.
Can someone help me in creating such access list.
Thanks in Advance

The exact syntax depends on your subnets and how they connect to the Internet. If you can share a simple diagram that would be much more informative.
In general just remember that access-lists are parsed from the top down and as soon as a match is found, the processing stops. So you put the most specific rules at the top. also, once you add an access-list, there is an implicit "deny any any" at the end.
The best approach is to create some network object-groups and then refer to them in your access list. From your description, that would be something like three object-groups - one for the Intranet (Intranet), one for the allowed servers that can use Internet (allowed_servers), and a third for the permitted Internet sites (allowed_sites).
You would then use them as follows:
ip access-list extended main_acl
permit any object-group intranet any
permit object-group allowed_servers object-group allowed_sites any
interface vlan
ip access-group main_acl in
More details on the syntax and examples can be found here:

How to create Dynamic Selection List containg file names of a directory?

Hi,
I need a Selection List with a Dynamic List of Values containing all file names of a particular directory (can change through the time).
Basically, I need an Iterator over all file names in a directory, which could be used for Selection List in a JSF form.
This iterator has nothing to do with a database, but should get the names directly from the file system (java.io.File).
Can anybody tell me how to create such an iterator/selection list?
I am working with JDeveloper 10.1.3.2, JSF and Business Services.
Thank you,
Igor

Create a class like this:
package list;
import java.io.File;
public class fileList {
    public fileList() {
    public String[] listFiles(){
    File dir = new File("c:/temp");
    String[] files = dir.list();
    for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(files);
return files;
Right click to create a data control from it.
Then you can drag the return value of the listFiles method to a page and drop as a table for example.
Also note that the Content Repository data control in 10.1.3.2 has the file system as a possible data source.
