Outline numbering between cells

I am tying to create a tiered numbering system. I have got to work perfectly within one  cell.  However I want each number increment to have its own cell and I can't get the automatic numering to work if I jump to a new cell.  Please help.

Hi Tom,
I typed your tiered numbering into cells A1 to F1. The cells are all formatted as Text (because 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 are not numbers)
Question: how do you tell Numbers how to increment each column? How does Numbers know that you want 1.2.1 in Column D, instead of 1.3? How does Numbers know to increment from 1.22 in Column E to 1.3 in Column F?
I can't follow (and neither will Numbers, unless you tell it how).
Perhaps you need another table where you show how Levels 1, 2 and 3 will vary.
You can use the function CONCATENATE to add elements to a string. However, to make it automatic, Numbers will need some rules to follow.
Regards,
Ian.

  • How can I customize Microsoft Word Outline Numbered List Templates with AppleScript?

    I wrote an applescript to set up a word document with the appropriate styles to give the document an academic setup, much like what Xelatex produces. This is a work in progress and I have a problem.
    I have successfully applied the style changes to each Header and I have applied the desired outline numbered list template "list template 5 of list gallery 3", however I would like to add tab stops to each one in order to make each header look slick like in Latex.
    To do what I want manually in Microsoft Word 2011 mac I would click Bullets and Numbering, customize, under text position i would check the tab stop box and put in some value (1 cm, for example)
    The following is an approximation of the result of running this script on a document with headings 1-9 applied consequently to each line, respectively. Note how they are not even. I think this is an issue with the template, but I want to be able to run this script on any mac without extra template files.
    1    Heading 1
    1.1    Heading 2
    1.1.1    Heading 3
    1.1.1.1    Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1    Heading 5
    1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 6
    1.1.1.1.1.1.1        Heading 7
    1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1Heading 8
    1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Heading 9
    Here is the script so far:

  • Swap phone numbers between two different accounts.

    I currently have two phone plans and two phones. One is on my mother's account and the other is a new phone I just started on my Fiance's account. They are completely separate from each other. My mother has a plan she own's and my fiance has a plan she owns.
    My question is; is it possible to swap numbers between the 2 phones? I want the number from my old phone that is on my mother's plan to be on my new phone that I just got. My mother plans on letting the other phone run out of contract and cancelling the line. I know I can swap the sim cards, but that would put my new phone on the wrong plan.

    Why didn't you perform an Assumption of Liability (AOL) to transfer your original line from your mother's account to your fiancé's account?

  • Transfer SU numbers between WHs

    Hi all.
    We are using stock transport orders (STO) between two plants.
    The delivering and the receiving plant/storage location are NOT HUM managed, but have WM whit SU.
    We need use the same number of SU on the receiving WH that had on the delivering WH. Both WH handle the same range of numbers in SU.
    We hare making pick and pack (RF) ussing the SU number like HU number (this works OK, no problem), on the OBD assign the output procedure SPED to create automatically a IBD on the receiving WH (this works OK, no problem). The problem is when I create the TO to the IBD the system don´t assigne the HU number to the SU number on the TO.  According to SAP help the system should show me the "handling-unit overview"  but don´t make it, what is the problem? I´m right trying to pass the SU numbers between both WHs on this way?.
    Thanks

  • I can no longer tab between cells in a table with pages 5.0.

    I use pages everyday for filling in my work booking sheets. I need to have them synching to the cloud, so I can access the client information while on the road.
    My booking sheet is basically a large table with many cells for name, address, phone number, etc. In pages 4.3 I could enter some information into the cell, hit the tab button, and it would go straight to the next cell in the table. This was a quick and easy way for me to fill out my forms on the computer.
    Well, since the update, the tab button only moves the cursor over in the same cell, as opposed to the next cell. It is VERY rare to need to tab in a cell, as opposed to going to the next cell.
    I did figure out that I could Option+ Tab to move to the next cell, but it is very hard to change my procedure of tabbing after all this timing doing it the other way.
    Am I just missing a preferance to tab between cells, instead of inside a cell?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Option-tab makes sense and can be done with the left hand's thumb/forefinger.
    Using tab was always arse-backwards as it defeated the use of tab within the table cell.
    Best to use both for what they always do:
    Option tab or an arrow key (singular) to jump cells
    tab to jump to the next tab in the text wherever it is within or without cells.
    The contrary precedence was set by Microsoft and was a bad idea. In good UI you do not have shortucts reverse roles such that you need to pay excessive attention to the context.

  • How do you set defaults in pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

    How do you set defaults in Pages such as font and moving between cells in a table?

    Default layout and styles can be set by setting up a sheet with your settings and saving as a user template (File > Save As Template).  I don't know of a way to set defaults for moving between cells in a table.

  • How to continue outline numbering across pages

    Using InDesign CS4 on Mac...  Sorry for the newb question, but I've got a section on the right-hand side of my document that has outline numbering across a couple pages.  I've used separate text boxes for each page.  Is it possible to continue this numbering so that 1-5 show up on page 1 and 6-10 show up on page 2?  Thanks!

    As janine4gg mentions, the link she gives is one to a multi-part series in that blog that helps with all different numbering tasks. I recommend looking at the the first in that series: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/04/numbered_lists_part_i_outlines.html.
    Using defined paragraph styles that include a numbering style and using a defined numbered list, there should be no issues about where or which side numbered items fall on for numbering to continue correctly.
    If you mean that you have a text frame that you use to contain an outline and you need it to break in a certain place, you would put a text frame break in. Type > Insert Break Character > Frame Break. Link the text frame with the break to the text frame you want the text to flow into.

  • Outline Numbering in Numbers '09

    I want to create a five-level outline numbering in Numbers, but each entry has a 1. Surely I don't have to manually change each entry? it's 300 rows! The data has been copied and pasted from a website, then formatted in Numbers. Can outline numbering be applied, or does Numbers assume you're always creating your Tiered numbers list from scratch?

This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
    If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way.

  • Can I switch phone numbers between two iPhones?

    I have ordered a 3GS, replacing my wife's 2G model. She will now get my 3G model. Do we have to change phone numbers or is there a way to move my 3G number with the 3GS and vice versa. It would be much better if that was possible.

    I also wish to switch phone numbers between phones. I just got off the phone with AT&T customer support. You can handle this over the phone. Need to have the two phones in hand at the time. I got through to customer support today with less than one minute on hold. I was quite surprised. AT&T must have really staffed up for the release.

  • Link between Cell's

    I have acrobat pro V10; Is it possible to create a link between cells in a form, meaning, if I select an Item from a created dropdown then, the next cell will populate with the price?

    We don't seem to have that issue here in the states. I don't think I have ever seen it drop below Edge even on an original iPhone. That would seem to point to the carriers in your area unless there is something different about the 3Gs's in your country.

  • Is it possible to sync numbers between iPad and iPhone and mac

    Is it possible to sync Numbers between iPhone and iPad and IMac.  I work in a school and want to keep test scores for my class in the one place without having to manually update the spreadsheets each time I enter scores.
    Thanks in advance
    Conor 

    Yes, Numbers syncs (very well) via iCloud.  You need to activate Numbers iCloud sync on all of your devices.
    On the Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and make sure Documents & Data is checked.  Also click the Options... button next to Documents & Data and check Numbers.app.
    On each iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > and turn on Numbers. Also go to Settings > Numbers and turn on Use iCloud.
    After you've got things working, it's best to close down the Numbers document on one device before you use it on another.

  • Outline Numbered Format in Textbox

    Is there a way to have lines in a textbox automatically be numbered like the Outline Numbered feature in Word? I want to create a dynamic form that formats like an outline when typed into a textbox. I am currently using Lifecycle Designer 8.
    example:
    1. xxxxxx
    1.1 xxxxxxxx
    1.2 xxxxxxxx
    2. xxxxxx
    Thnx-

    First, you don't provide the content that precedes this
    sample (you open with a LI tag), but there's way more code than
    necessary here.
    The main thing in lists is to simply select paragraph
    elements and click either the bullet or number toolbar icon. When
    you select paragraphs within the list for child formatting, simply
    click the increase indent icon. RH tends to end lists and resume
    them (as in your example), so you need to manually redo this, such
    as:
    OL
    LI [1. ...]
    LI [2. ...]
    /OL
    OL
    LI [a. ...]
    LI [b. ...]
    /OL
    OL start=3
    LI [3. ...]
    /OL
    should be:
    OL
    LI [1. ...]
    LI [2. ...]
    OL
    LI [a. ...]
    LI [b. ...]
    /OL
    LI [3. ...]
    /OL
    This results in a truly nested for of list/sublist elements,
    which translates very nicely to Word.
    Peter Grainge covers this in more depth on
    his
    site.
    Good luck,
    Leon
