Page Numbering for the Clueless N00b -- FrameMaker 7

Hey gang,
I've got a fairly simple FrameMaker 7 document (one file, 94 pages) that requires page numbers to follow the Chapter No. - Page No. format (e.g., 3-2).    Two issues occur: 1) the chapter number stays at 1, and 2) the page number increments by one when I need it to restart after every new chapter.
My paragraph tags are like this:
ChapterTitle
Heading1
Heading2, etc.
I think I've identified a disconnect: the heading numbering is as follows (thanks to Deborah Snavely for explaining the matrix approach):
<n+>< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< >\t
     where n+ is the heading number, followed by four subheadings.  The last two bracket sets are for figures and tables, respectively.  I set the page numbering in the master pages as follows: <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum>.  Chapter/paragraph numbering works as advertised, as do figure and table numbers.  How do I change the page number variables to match the chapter number and restart the page numbering?
Regards,
-terry-

You need to set the appropriate numbering behaviours in the book file for each of the chapter files.
Highlight a file in the book file.
Right-click to get the context menu.
Select Numbering...
Set the Chapter and Page numbering tabs to behave as required.

  • Page Numbering for the aging report

    Hi,
    Does any one know how I can achieve the following:
    For the customer ageing report we need to print all customer statements at once. On our print layout we currently use the following CurrentPage()/TotalPages() formula fields to dispaly the page number. The result we get is 1/10, 2/10, 3/10....etc.
    We actually need the following, for total 10 pages statement would like to display the page number as follows:
    Customer A: 1/1
    Customer B: 1/3, 2/3, 3/3
    Customer C: 1/1
    Customer D: 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5
    Does anyone know how to achieve the above for continuous print?
    Your assistance in this matter is highly appreciated.
    BR,

    Hi,
    You are trying to print the detailed aging report. Right?
    It seems that there is no way of "splitting" the page numbers within a collection report.
    The system could not count the pages for EACH customer.The total number per pages will be per whole document, and cannot be per business partner within the same document when using the formula currentpage().

  • How to get the page numbers in the PrintAdvance Data grid without using Vbox/Vgroup header or footer

    hi
    I want to print the page numbers for the data in Advance Data grid, For printing I am using print advance data grid , but unable to print the page numbers with that.
    actually i tried with Vbox/Vgroup, but when tha data is more because of this it is strucking, and more over imageRenderer in the PrintAdvancedataGrid not printing.
    can any one help in this regard?

    Image Caches hold images you've already loaded so the next time you request them, they can be made available without network latency.  This assume for your DG, that all images you need to print have been loaded by, for example, whatever DG the user was looking at before hitting Print.  This is easy when there are only a few icons used to show status, but won't work if each row has a different image unless you've somehow loaded up all of those images beforehand.
    Spark BitmapImage has an Image cache, but some third party ones are discussed here:

  • Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

    I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf).  When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
    In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals.  However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
    I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating. 
    Please help.

    Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
    The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
    Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
    I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
    Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

  • Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

    FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
    I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
    Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
    I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
    Please advise.

    We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
    This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
    I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

  • Adjusting page numbering in the Table of Contents

    I have a question regarding adjusting page numbering in the table of contents. I have manually adjusted my page numbering to start at page 3, which is now called page 1. But my table of contents still show this page as page 3, while I want it to be shown as page 1.
    How do I do this?
    I tried to find an answer somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find one. Neither could I find a solution in the help file.
    I hope you understand my question. I also included the document, which might be of help. Thank you!

    This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
    Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
    While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
    Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
    If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
    Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
    Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
    * *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.  

  • How do i start page numbering in the middle of a document in pages

    I need to begin page numbering after the initial pages in my thesis. I can get the page numbers to not appear for the first few pages but when it does begin (say page 4), it counts the previous pages.
    I there a way I can get pages (5.2) to count from page 4 onwards?
    So that page 4 will read "page 1", page 5 read "page 2" etc.....
    Thanks

    Have you divided the document by Inserting Section Breaks?
    Have you unchecked Continue from previous section in Section under Document?

    If the icons are from dmg files that were used to install 3rd party apps like this one for VueScan
    Control (right) - click on the open dmg icon and select "Eject  xxxx" from the contextual window.
    Then find the actual dmg file associated with those icons
    and drag to the Trash in the Dock and empty.

  • Dynamic Page Numbering for DPS documents

    Since we don't have just 1 document for the entire publication; is there any way to have a footer that has the page number in any way? (without having to manually update every page?)

    Use the book feature.
    But it is difficult to number your publication if you have vertical and
    horizontal pages.
    And why do you need page numbers anyways? Digital has hyperlinks and scroll
    bars for solid navigation

  • Reset Page Numbers for each group with XMLP 4.5

    I am currently working on the invoice report rtf template using XMLP 4.5
    We cannot upgrade to new version at this stage.
    Our requirement is, i want to reset the page numbers for each invoice. I know that it can be achieved using @section. I think this will work only XMLP 5.0 and after. Is there any other way to achive this requirement?
    Our reports are moving to production in another 3 days.
    I would be thankful If anybody can provide me the solution for this problem?
    Thanks
    Babu

    Hi Tim
    Thank you very much for your suggestion. We have upgraded to latest version of XML and now i am using @section to reset the page numbers for each invoice. This is working fine. But i have stucked to print the invoice copes for which page numbers should be reset.
    As per the client requirement i need to generate the invoice report with 3 more copies where COPY word will be there for duplicate invoice copies.
    I have written the rtf template logic like below:
    ex: <?for-each@section:G_INVOICE?>
    Invoice Information
    Invoice first copy information with COPY word (just copy the above original invoice layout and pasted)
    Invoice second copy information
    Invoice third copy information
    <?end for-each?>
    This is working fine. But client is demanding that all the invoice copies page numbers should start with 1. I tried by giving the @section for each invoice copy. But it was not working. Is there anyway to reset the page numbers for each invoice copy (anyway orginal invoice page numbers are resetting becuase i have used @section). It would be great help for me by providing the solution for my problem.
    Thanks
    Babu

  • Can not get correct page numbering for sections

    I have created a RTF template for a report that is Burst by USERID and then on the template I have the DeptID as the section for the report. When I run the report I get page numbering by DeptID - so if 1 department has 2 pages I see page 1 of 2, 2 of 2, then the page numbering starts over for the next department. I actually want the report to show a total number of pages for the entire report in the header. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

    Vetri changed the template to have the body start prior to rows that I wanted repeated on all pages and then copied the repeated rows on the second page. This allowed for my page break between departments to happen and the page numbering in the heading also included the total number of pages not the total pages for each department.

  • Is there any way to display document page numbers and section page numbers at the same time?

    Hi, I have different sections within my document starting the page numbering at 1. Besides the section page numbers I would also like to display the actual document page numbers in the header (eg. you are on page 10 of the document and page 4 of the section). Is there any way to do that? Thanks

    You can maybe use the Find/Change
    Command+i
    See if that can work for you.
    But like Steve said it is good practice to use Paragraph Style whenever you have lots of Type, I just get lazy sometimes.. lol
    Thanks

  • New Page numbers for Sections in Pages 5.2

    Hi, I can't figure out to how to start numbering pages from 1 in a new section using Pages 5.2.
    I've tried to add new sections via both the Inspector and Insert > Add Section Break, but when I attempt to insert page numbers in the header of a new section, it's still not starting at 1.

    See what I mean? I've successfully created the new section, but it still wants number the first page of a section with 2.
