Non-English page numbers/lists

Hello.
I have ID CS4. I am working on a doc that needs non-English (Latin) numbers as the page numbers. The doc has about 2,500 pages, and I do not want to do this manually. I have looked all over the place for a solution and have found nothing even romotely close. Anyone have an idea how to do this? Thanks.

Well, when I've needed to do page numbering using Khmer numerals, or Burmese, or Lao, or etc., I have only used workarounds. (One of 'em is actually a workaround I originally learned from Peter that he mentioned, which I will describe in a bit more detail) They're all bad. A script might be a better idea, but I suggest that you submit a feature request, as will I, because I'm hoping for decent international support by CS8 or so.
1) Use a bad font! You know, like Limon, or some other font that has Khmer numerals mapped onto the Arabic numeral codepoints. That way you can use a page number placeholder on the master page.
2) Your number-list idea is a good one, but InDesign can't just use your number list. What I did was this:
   a) Make a list of 300 Burmese numbers in raw text
   b) Set up the margins so that the "main text area" was where I wanted my page numbers
   c) Make sure that Layout -> Layout Adjustment is off (this is necessary for step e. below)
   d) Place the number text file, holding down shift so it auto-flows
   e) Change your margins back to your desired settings - the number-containing text boxes should remain where they are
3) Edit a font to put your preferred numeral system. Ugh. I did this for a client, once, in 2007, and I still feel dirty.
4) Feature request to Harbs for more numbering options in World Tools - I haven't tried this one yet but I bet it's your only chance to get Khmer numbering before CS8.
Proof that no. 3 must be doable in one way or another... here's English ID's options in numbering formats:
and in World Tools (CS4)
... so it must be possible. I have found Adobe to be about as responsive as a hunk of marble when asking for properly-implemented multilingual support. Asking Harbs if the numeral options in World Tools can be expanded to include SE Asian script(s) might be your best bet.
As a side note: I know that it's useless, but I can't stop telling people what number systems are actually called.
1 2 3 4 5: Arabic numerals

I II III IV V: Roman numerals
sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now.

How to Auto Update non-TOC Page Numbers within a document (ie, 550pp)

Friends. Within a large Pages document that is dynamically changing, along with the total number of pages, the TOC (ie, Table of Contents) can be easily updated.
However, I want to point to specific content, and therefore the correct page number for the content, within the document and have that pointer (ie, a page number) *update automatically as the page numbers change*.
I need to repeat this about two dozen times for different references to make a 550 page document more reader-friendly by making it easier for readers to find the exact source or reference elsewhere in a document.
How do I do that within Pages '08 ?

Hello
I'm not aware of such a feature.
If the document is designed to be read on a computer, you may use links.

Page numbers not working in pages

Help!
I'm working on a document that will be 100+ pages, printing it double sided to be bound together. I would like to have the pages numbers listed in the footer on the outside of the page as well as some text in the center of the footer. Working with Pages '09 version 4.1.
I have "facing pages" selected. "Left and Right pages different" selected. "Use previous headers and footers" selected. I selected "Insert Auto page numbers" and told it to put them on the outside.
The problem - only some pages have the numbers on the outside like I selected. Pages 1-12 have the page numbers are all left justified. Pages 13-16 are correct. Pages 17-23 have the page numbers are all left justified. So on and so forth. There is no rhyme or reason why some of these are different. I do have different sections in the document - but sometimes it's in the middle of the section that it decides to change the formatting on me.
On top of that, I added the text I wanted in the center. On some pages it's there, others it isn't. And again, no rhyme or reason as to why. Sometimes, the page numbers ARE in the correct place, but the text IS NOT there. Sometimes the page numbers ARE NOT in the correct place, and the text IS there. Leaving me with very few pages that are 100% correct.
The only thing I have going for me at the moment is that every page has a page number on it! I suppose that's something. And I believe I know how to go in and change the footers individually. But, like I said, this will be 100+ pages, I'd really like to just do it once, not individually for each page.
Help please! Thanks!

Hello black94,
Ok I can load the WinForm project and know part of your game, although I'm not so sure how to play the game. I cannot understand your language.
When I checked the WPF project it seems you build the UI with WPF and only write events here, I haven't find binding related xaml code. Anyway, can you quote the problem or code about how you insert the white cell in WPF?
For the printPreviewDialog, I see you already asked about this question before:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/ee97efd9-9245-4972-8576-a5230fb520e7/printpreviewdialog-in-wpf?forum=wpf
So the following place is where the error raised?
PrintDocument printdocument = new PrintDocument();
System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog printDialog = new System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog();
System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog printPreviewDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog();
//this.printPreviewDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;

(none) style gets applied to numbered list & font size not matching text in my style sheet

RoboHelp 9 (9.0.2.271)
Something is wrong with my style sheet, and it only started happening after I created Master Page for the first time. This happens whether or not the new Master Page is applied to a topic: Every time I type any text in a topic, then click the Numbered List icon in the toolbar, the style goes from Normal to (none), and the font changes from my style sheet's Normal 10pt to 8pt, for the number as well as the text.
I don't see how the new Master Page has anything to do with it because it's not applied to this particular topic. I had created a Master Page in RoboHelp HTML and applied my style sheet, then my topics to it. I have a footer in the Master Page and applied 8pt font using inline formatting (not the style sheet).
I created a new project to see what would happen.
When I apply my style sheet, then apply the numbered list to text, the text font is correct (10pt), but the number font is wrong (8pt).
But when I apply the default style sheet to the topic, the number font and text font match.
How can I get the number and text fonts to match in my style sheet?
I found a workaround by applying inline formatting to the next (10pt) after selecting the text and clicking the numbered list icon. Below is the html code. The numbered steps in red are the ones that are not correct (8 pt). The code with the correct formatting (after I applied inline formatting) is in blue.
<body>
<h1>My Overview</h1>
<p>example</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>first step</li>
<li>second step</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1">
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">Fixed by applying inline formatting to
10pt after selecting the numbered list icon</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">next step</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<?rh-placeholder type="footer" ?>
</body>
Thanks.

Amebr,
That was helpful. I'm looking at a topic now, and both the Apply Style list on the Formatting toolbar show (none) when I click a numbered list that I created using the Created a Numbered List or Create a Bulleted List on the toolbar.
This is the html code for the correct font (10pt):
<ol>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
</ol>
Both styles list show the correct custom styles I created for numbered lists, though. Below is the code (correct font):
<ol>
<li class="p-ProcedureSteps"><p class="ProcedureSteps">this is from
my custom numbered style and looks correct</p></li>
</ol>
What's strange is, if I create a list and highlight it, then click the Apply Numbered List button in the toolbar, the numbers and text font size changes to 8 point and my Normal font is 10 pt, and both style lists show (none). That's what I wanted to figure out in my original post. I opened up the stylesheet and I don't see where that's applied. In Flare, you can easily see in a table how the styles are formatted, down to each class.
This is the code for the incorrect font (8pt):
<ol type="1">
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
</ol>
Below is a screenshot.
Maybe someone can figure this out. Thanks!

Pages spelling defective Numbered List Lion

When I create a new blank document in Pages, the spell check works normally, placing red underlines on misspelled words. However, when I create a numbered list within that document, suddenly the spell check disappears, letting me spell words incorrectly with nary a red underline in sight. I hope this is a bug, and not a feature. Can anyone else re-create this?

Yes and No. I suspect Mac OSX and Windows do not flag the text's language the same way, so you have to tell it what it is, though it would be nice to have it take the System language by default.
If you had used Paste and Match Style that would have probably stuck with English as the language.

ITunes Store Apps (etc) Page Numbers, Wish List For My iTunes Account

Why doesn't the iTunes Store have page numbers under each page of the items (songs, e-books, apps, etc), because with over 200000 apps I will be damned if I am going to go back to the start of each apps category (for example) clicking in increments of 12 apps at a time until I get to app number 7264!!!!!! I WILL JUST STOP USING THE APPS STORE!!!
Some apps have a PRODUCTIVITY button in the left top corner that will take you back to the last apps browsing page you were on, while other apps have a BACK button in the top left corner WHICH TAKES YOU RIGHT BACK TO THE FIRST PAGE OF THE APPS CATEGORY YOU WERE BROWSING, so if you were up to app 734 (for example) you have to click through 64 apps pages JUST TO GET BACK TO THE APP YOU WERE UP TO LAST!!! INFURIATING - BEGGARS BELIEF!?!
WHY CANT I CLICK AN 'ADD TO WISH LIST' BUTTON ON EACH APP PAGE, SO I ALSO DONT HAVE TO BROWSE THROUGH ANOTHER 100 PAGES OF APPS TO FIND THE ONE I LOOKED AT IN MY LAST ISTORE SESSION??????
Hasn't anyone at apple used eBay or amazon???

Update: As of this morning the updates were GONE again, so I'm thinking this may recur on and off until all settles after the launch of new software and iDevices this week.

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.

How to produce a list of URLs and page numbers from large website pdf file.

Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.4.
I created a pdf file from an entire website which has 1062 pages.
I was asked to produce a list of pages which should be updated or deleted.
There is a URL on every page.
What is the best way to mark the pages for update/deletion?
Is there a way to automatically produce/export a list of a all URLs of these pages including page numbers and "feature" update/delete? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. I refer to the page numbers visible under the pages when you click on in the icon "Page Thumbnails" on the top left side. The page numbers do not appear on the pages themselves.
When saving the entire website bookmarks were created automatically as as well as the URL put on the left botton side of the respective page. They have always the same syntax like this: http://egr.istat.it/?q=node/285[06/062013 17:54:35]

Wiki pages in non-English

Sometimes I'll come across a page that has an English title (or seemingly English title) but is in a completely different language. I usually assume the page will be in English. Is that a reasonable assumption and should those pages be moved to Title_(Language)?
I realize that sometimes the title may use English words but in a different order, which is still kind of misleading.

foxbunny wrote:
Why are we still discussing this? :lol:
Anyway, the currently proposed (and hopefully maintained) solution is to add (Language) to any page, regardless of the kind of title. Even if the title couldn't possibly be written the same in any other language, maintainers are requested to put (Language). This is the simplest and hopefully the most effective solution.
I know that there have been a lot discussion about this, but I still think it isn't a very good idea. It will be a big mess and a lot of misunderstandings. It's hard to maintain a category tree in multiple languages. And these problems will discourage (especially non-english) people from editing wiki. The other problem is that there are quite many people who actually know something about Arch/Linux but are using only their native language. So I think that only one good solution (but technically much more complicated) is to setup sepereate wikis (pl.wiki... , de.wiki...) and use interwiki. Sperate wikis could be developed by local communities separetly, just like wikipedia. The other good solution is to ask local communities to setup wikis on their own (e.g. polish arch-linux.pl have one already) and to make somehow interwiki work. This will keep main ArchWiki nice and clean and could grow someday to GentooWiki size. What do you think?

How do I save a style of paragraphs with a numbered list in Pages 05?

I wish to save a style of paragraph with a numbered list. Is it possible to save them at the same time in Pages 5 as it was in Pages 09'?
Where are the shortcuts?
Thanks.

Yes, I know but there is no real list preset. The format command, when opened, shows a menu and I think you are using the word Style differently. A Style in 09 allowed one to save present formatting for several text appearance options, which is no longer possible in 05 "styles." Styles in text edting for applications like Word, OpenOffice, iBooks, and Pages 09 referred to a way to save a set of formatting command together and apply them with one click. That's the rub here in 5.
Yes, you can apply a bullet as a "style" to a paragraph, bui you cannot save that formatting as a preset in any way to do it in one click. The issue is consistency and one click capability for multiple formatting features for a paragraph of text.
Separating bullets and lists from the ability to maintain them in the Paragraph style removed the one click paragraph formatting option which is helpful for anyone who uses it more than a few times in a document.
The need is for people who want to use common formatting for paragraphs and maintain a one-click option to apply text, indent, spacing, and bullets in one click, not spread out in several menus and lists.
If you can explain how to do this in Pages 5 I will be very happy and you will have saved me many clicks. Otherwise I will continue to use the bullet "style" list drop down menu.

Loading pages with non-English language scripts (e.g., Arabic)

When I try to load a page that has non-English script, specifically Arabic, it just show's up as question marks or weird symbols. How do I get it to show the words but in Arabic or any other non-English script?

Listing Bookmark Script Align Page Numbers to Right

Hello,
I have a script which will list Bookmark Names and then the Page Number after the bookmark as follows:
Bill Smith Page#1
Jeffrey Jones Page#5
Christopher James Page#8
What I would like the script to achieve is to list the bookmarks and then align the Page numbers to the right side of the pdf instead of jumbled together.
Can anyone please advise if it is possible to do this in javascript?
The existing code is as follows:
/* List all Bookmarks */
/* Recursively work through bookmark tree */
function PrintBookmarks(bm, nLevel)
    if (nLevel != 0) { // don't print the root
        bmReport.absIndent=bmTab*(nLevel-1);
bm.execute();
            bmReport.writeText(" "+bm.name +" Page "+(bm.doc.pageNum +1));
    if (bm.children != null)
          for (var i = 0; i < bm.children.length; i++)
            PrintBookmarks(bm.children[i], nLevel + 1);
bmTab = 20;
bmReport = new Report();
bmReport.size = 2;
bmReport.writeText(this.title);
bmReport.writeText(" ");
bmReport.size = 1.5;
bmReport.writeText("Listing of Bookmarks");
bmReport.writeText(" ");
bmReport.size = 1;
PrintBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
global.bmRep = bmReport; // make global
global.wrtDoc = app.setInterval(
    'try {'
    +'       reportDoc = global.bmRep.open("Listing of Bookmarks");'
    +'       console.println("Executed Report.open");'
    +'       app.clearInterval(global.wrtDoc);'
    +'       delete global.wrtDoc;'
    +'       console.println("Executed App.clearInterval");'
    +'       reportDoc.info.title = "Bookmark Listings";'
    +'       reportDoc.info.Author = "List Bookmark Sequence";'
    +'} catch (e) {console.println("Waiting...: " + e);}'
    , 100);
Any help will be much appreciated

Thank you very much for your help.
I have modified the script to have the bookmarks and page numbers on separate lines, however the indent does not go further than the middle of the page on the seconde line for the page numbers, no matter how much the indent is modifed (I am also using version 8 of Adobe).
Can you please advise how to get the indent to increment past the middle of the page to the right side of the page?
The script which has been modified is as follows:
/* List all Bookmarks first then Page Numbers */
/* Recursively work through bookmark tree */
function PrintBookmarks(bm, nLevel)
    if (nLevel != 0) { // don't print the root
       bmReport.absIndent=bmTab*(nLevel-1);

After installing updates to Pages, Numbers, still old versions listed

I have recently successfully installed Mavericks 10.9.1. At Apple's suggestion, i went to App Store and downloaded (and subsequently installed) updated version of Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. However, when I open my Pages and my Numbers apps, the old version-numbers (Pages 09 4.3; Numbers 09 2.3) are still listed.
Pages appears to be upgraded since at least one feature touted in the new version is available. How do I verify that I have the new version? If I do not have the full version...? Nate

You have both.
The new versions are in your Applications folder.
The old versions are in your Applications/iWork folder.
To check which you have opened:
Menu > Pages (or Numbers/Keynote) > About Pages (or Numbers/Keynote)
Be warned: These are very much cut down versions of the iWork suite. In Pages 5's case with over 90+ features removed.

Pages for iPad-numbered list- indent starts next number at A or 1

When I indent an item in a numbered list, the next number in the list changes to start over with A or 1. Am I missing something?

What you are trying to accomplish cannot be done. I love Microsoft Word, and this is a standard feature in Microsoft Word, but was not always so until poeple began to request it. Its the same thing with this Apple product. It is currently not a feature, but as the need shows up (like it is here) I am sure it will be added to some future release.
I know its frustrating because you have this vision in your head of what you want your document to look like and you are not able to get it as you see it. Give Apple your feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback and look for it in future releases. You can help contribute to making better Apple products.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
