Indesign CC: Chapter Numbering Not Updating

I read this...
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5536663
And determined that I mightbe experiencing a similar problem. I have two different master pages.
Master A -  Chapter Pages - I use this for chapter title pages where the margins are slightly different. This is also where the chapter number is disaplyed.
Master B - Body Pages - This is where I have the body copy of my chapters. e.g H2 trough H6, Basic Paragraph, Lists, figure references, etc.
All my chapters are built this way. Including my appendicies.
Heres my book page numbering options...
Every chapter is displaying as "1 Chapter Title Goes Here"
The above chapter is infact Chapter 2 Deployment.
Heres the Chapter Number Style, or Heading - Chapter Title (H1)
You'll see I've assigned a specifc list for the numbers to use. It's titled "Chapters" under lists.
My question is...
Is this happening becase I'm using two different text frames in my masters? You can see what my .indd page structure looks like in the pages screen shot.
My figure references aren't taking the chapter number, I assume because the chapter numbers aren't updating. Is this true?
How can I fix this without having to redo the Master-A pages or using a single master layout?
Any help is ALWAYS appreciated, and thanks for your time.
Heres an idea of my book structure.

So I took a look at the text frames, they're all linked properly. See screen cap.
This is what Chapter 2 looks like...
The text is not located on the master pages. It is however placed inside of the text frame which the master pages host. i.e The master pages have their margins and textfields. When I create a new page, it includes a text field. The screen caps above show Master-A and Master-B threaded together.
As for the page numbering... They're generated using lists and automatic numbering via paragraph styles...
See the screen caps in my first post.
And heres the chapter title line selected. Note the number is not selected.
So... I just checked the Page Numbering Options...
And found this....
Ummm.... *face desk* Looks like I had document chapter numbering set to start at Chapter Number: 1.
I'll update and see if that helps.

  • Chapter numbers not showing up on DVD players

    Hi All
    Just a quick question that someone might have a solution to. I have to author a lot of dual layer tv series to disc. I don't seem to get any chapter numbers on any of our test players. I have tried various ways of naming the chapters including dvd sp own naming scheme, but no joy. Our test players are Toshiba, Bush & Sony. It doesn't seem to be a disc thing as the glass masters are the same. whilst it's not fatal to the disc working it would be wicked to find an answer.
    Thanks in advance

    If the calls are from yesterday and not to another VZW customer, it can take up to 24-36 hours for the info to make it through the system.
    If it shows 9999999999 then the number was restricted or blocked.

  • Indesign CC 2014 does not update to 2014.1

    What can I do that Indesign updates to the new Version. Muse did it see Muse 2014.2. Dreamweaver did also update to 2014.1, even though it does not show in the list.
    Indesign however did not update. Also looking at my Launchpad, there is no new Version, like with Dreamweaver.
    I need urgently the new Indesign to use the hyperlinks with fixed layout ePubs. Thanks.

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Cocomia have you removed and reinstalled InDesign per the directions listed at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html?

  • Chapter Numbering not increasing

    Hi guys I have been trying to add a chapter numbering but when i do it the number remains the same. What am I doing wrong?
    Both of those text have the same #Chapters style

    In InDesign’s term a "Chapter" is a whole INDD document regardless if you name your list Chapter.
    When you join several INDD in an InDesign book file INDB each of these documents will become a chapter.
    What you want to do, I think, is Paragraph numbering and therefore you can use the levels. You will have to insert the placeholder for the current level to increade the number.
    BTW: Use the margin guides to position your text frames. Your text frames are hanging around in the air. Use the whole page between the guide lines and make your page set up correctly instead.

  • InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

    Hello,
    I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
    I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
    Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

  • JE Numbering not updated with Posting Period

    Dear Experts,
    I have defined document numbering per year = per period indicator that is also set on each posting period.
    It is working fine for all documents except the Journal Entries which keep using the previous serie of 2010.
    Is it known bug ? Is there any logic to this ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Guillaume

    Hi,
    In the Document Numbering Setup - Series Journal entries setup
    Please can you post how mant rows you have setup and in the field GROUP have you set it to any other Series group No. to which you do not have authorisation.
    Finally, you can navigate to the  Series Journal entries setup and set the new period numbering series to default.

    Hi Tapani-Talo,
    Updates can often fail because of additional language files from the existing installations have been removed. Run the uninstaller and then reinstall the application and try applying the update again. Complete the following steps to uninstall the software:
    Mac OS:
    Go to Applications/Utitlies/Adobe Installers.
    Run the applicable uninstaller.
    Windows Vista/7:
    Go to Start > Control Panels > Programs and Features.
    Locate the affected Adobe Creative software title and click Uninstall.
    Windows 8:
    Press Windows Key + R to open the run command. Type Control Panels and press OK.
    Open the Program & Features Control Panel.
    Locate the affected Adobe Creative software title and click Uninstall.
    Try these steps and let me know if it helps.

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

    I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network.  I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
    The exact message I get is:  "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"  I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
    For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

    If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
    That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

  • Incopy link will not update in InDesign and XML Story files

    So I have a couple of questions.
    I work for a publisher and we have a standard InDesign to Incopy workflow. Recently we have started having issues with InCopy links. First some basic info would probably be helpful. We use Windows XP =(, and we are using InDesign and Incopy CS3. All of our files are on a server. When I or people on my team sometimes attempt to update Incopy links, they will simply not update. Then when we check the link it says that it is zero k in size and is pretty much fried, cannot open in Icopy or InDesign. Why this is so nasty is because if the file cannot be updated all the work in the story that was done in InCopy is lost. Then to make matters worse, if we unlink the incopy file sometimes when we go to save indesign completely crashes. Is this a permissions issue as our IT department is fairly ignorant about design workflows on servers and has been inconsistent about the permissions. Also these .xml files seem to be populating the folder where we keep our InDesign files, when we open them they have basic information on the story links. I have attempted to find out more info on these files but have had very little luck.
    Any info would be helpful.
    Thanks!

  • Linking Excel to Word - Word doc updates the numbers in a table but the format (font colours) do not update

    I am using Office 2010. I have many graphs and linked tables to a master word document from Excel. The tables contain percentages and are formatted red if under -2.5%, yellow if between -2.5% and +2.5% and green if over +2.5%. The colours are correct
    in Excel but when I refresh the word document, the numbers update but the font colours do not. The purpose of linking was to save time but if the colours do not update then the link is pointless. Is there any way to ensure the colours update as well as the
    values?

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, I have a couple of questions:
    Do you mind telling me how do you copy/link between Excel and Word?
    Where did you store the Word and Excel file? Both of local disk or network drive, even website?
    Did you using conditional formatting to display/format percentages?
    Based on my tested, please try the following steps, it would be update all the information after the source was changed.
    Select the table/chart in Excel> Open word >Copy>Paste>Choose Link & Keep Source Formatting.(See image 1)
    If we changed the source data in Excel, then right click the table in Word> Choose update Link. (See image 2)
    Then the data, format, font and color all will be updated.
    Hope this should help you.

  • HT4972 Why Pages and numbers are not updating.

    My pages and numbers are not updating for about a week now Why?

    Some one else had a similar problem last night...same as yours. He claimed that Pages had been stuck trying to update for about week. I posted this and he said that it worked - which part he did not say - but give these things a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
    If you have all of your Pages files backed up in iTunes or on your Mac, this might be the answer. Try deleting the waiting icon - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    I have deleted Pages a couple of times when I had issues with it and then reinstalled it. I even deleted a stalled Pages once and then tried the update successfully again after that. My files are always backed up in iTunes and on my Mac so I had no apprehension about deleting the waiting download.
