Pagination: roman numerals AND cardinal numbers

I've written a doctoral dissertation in Pages. It is a wonderful program, but I'm still trying to resolve several issues. I have broken the document up into chapters, and each chapter is a separate section. Pagination was not a problem until I needed to create a section using Roman numerals. So my questions are these: a) can Pages handle Roman numerals as page numbers and b) can one section be numbered with roman numerals and the others with cardinal numbers?
Thanks!

Yep, it appears that, as Apple says in a technote, "Table of contents uses Arabic numerals only". Needless to say, this limits the utility of this function.
One workaround might be to set up the front matter of your document using a differently-named style for the headings that would normally appear in the TOC, and simply exclude those when the TOC is created. You could then add in those pages by hand (since there typically are relatively few front matter pages compared to the document body).

Re-write numerical page numbers to roman numerals for an introduction?

Hi there everybody,
I've been attempting (for some considerable time!) to typeset and format a book. The book needs to have roman numerals running from the first title page (which is in reality left blank through using a secondary master page without page numbers). However, I didn't realise I would need to use roman numerals in the introduction, and instead started the page numbers from the first title page of the introduction. Therefore, my pages that are numbered by roman numerals (copyright page etc) stop at this point and in the introduction become numbers.
I need to change it so it is roman numerals up until the first page of the actual book, all through the introduction, but when I try to change it in the Numbers and Sections tab, it tells me that i've already used the numbers i've typed in.
Basically I would like to know how to take off the first set of roman numeral page numbers and start again??
I'm very confused!! Help would be MUCH appreciated.
Lucy

Setting up where Roman Numerals stop and page 1 Begins

I did set this up, once, but have sence forgotten how to make an adgustment. Actually I currently have it set to count roman numerals to VIIII, then start "normal" numbering afterwards, which begins at page 10. Ideally I'd like the "normal" numbering to begin with 1 after the end of the roman numerals.
Any help?
Thanks All.

I will give it a try in the morning. Thanks for your suggestion.

Multilevel list with combined roman letters and numbers

I'm trying to format my headings in a multi-level list style like this:
Chapter I: heading1
I.1 subheading1
I.2 subheading2
I.3 subheading3
Chapter II: heading2
the problem is that indesign's multilevel list seem to support only one kind of numbering system. I can either use numbers or letters. But how can I combine both? Even word has that feature so Indesign should also have it, right? Can anybody help?

There was a similar thread yesterday. It's not entirely clear if this is a bug (I think it is) or a feature since underlines are a character adornment, and automatic numbers are not recognized as characters in the same way as typed text, but the fact remains that underline and strikethrough don't work on numbers and bullets generated in a list.
You have a couple of options. One is to use a paragraph rule and set a huge right indent, but this doesn't work too well for multi-digit numbers, nor do I think that it works all that well with letters in a proportional font.
A second option would be to find a font with the circles or squares built into the characters and use it as part of a character style applied to the numbers. I think this is the best solution, but it may not give you the colors that you want if you need solid digits on a colored background.
A third option might be to use an anchored object positioned behind the numbers. This has the most flexibility, I think.

TOC page number as roman numerals, body as decimal

Pretty new to the DDX world. I'm using Cold Fusion 8 to generate a PDF. I then use DDX to open the pdf, add a Table of Contents and headers/footers. The Footers contain the page numbers. Right now, the page numbers just start with the TOC (1) and go to the nd of the document.
I'm trying to figure out a way to number the TOC with roman numerals, but the rest of the document with decimals. Right now, I'll accept i, ii, iii, iv, 5, 6, 7... but I'm guessing my customer will want the numbering started over at 1 when we hit the body of the document. I'll cross that bridge later. Right now, I can't seem to find a way to mix the numbering. I know PageLabel is the place to attack, but I've had no luck so far. My basic DDX markup looks like:
<DDX>
     <PDF result="out1">
          <TableOfContents>
               <Header>
               </Header>
               <Footer>
               </Footer>
          </TableOfContents>
          <PDF source="Doc1">
               <Header>
               </Header>
               <Footer>
               </Footer>
          </PDF>
     </PDF
</DDX>
I've placed <PageLabel format="lowerRoman"> at various placing with varying degrees of success. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
i think the best way ist to create a 2 variables and add at every master page 1 to var1 or var2 .
At every following site of the first master pages add "1" to var1 .
At every following site of the second master pages add "1" to var2 .
With this coding you can fill your var1 and var2 i think
Put this on every site then i think you can fill var1 and var2 different.
If not you must make a simple coding var1 = var1 + 1 at site1 and var2 = var2 + 1 at site2
// data.#pageSet[0].Seite1.AktuelleSeite::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this);
Regards

Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

Hi Emily ,
You may face challenges doing this task in Acrobat .
If you have created the PDF from word ,I would recommend doing the page numbering in Word, not Acrobat, since you have more flexibility with that program.
Or the second option is ,if you know how to play around with java script.Here is the code for the same.
Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
function romanize(num) {
    if (!+num)
        return false;
    var digits = String(+num).split(""),
        key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
               "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
               "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
        roman = "",
        i = 3;
    while (i--)
        roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
    return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;

Roman numerals within iTunes

In iTunes, my Star Trek movies are named Star Trek IV, Star Trek V, Star Trek VI... you see what i'm saying. When I get to Star Trek IX, iTunes puts it between IV and V. How do I get iTunes to put the movies in the correct Roman numeral order?
Thanks,

Select each movie and open it's "Get Info" dialog (command+ I). Select the "Sorting" tab and use the sort name field to change the roman numeral to regular numbers. They will sort using the sort name but still display the roman numeral.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

What is line item dimension and cardinality in BI 7.0

Can u plz suggest me what is line item dimension and cardinality in BI 7.0..
Thanks in advance.
Venkat

Hi Babu
Line item: This means the dimension contains precisely one characteristic. This means that the system does not create a dimension table. Instead, the SID table of the characteristic takes on the role of dimension table. Removing the dimension table has the following advantages:
¡ When loading transaction data, no IDs are generated for the entries in the dimension table. This number range operation can compromise performance precisely in the case where a degenerated dimension is involved.
¡ A table- having a very large cardinality- is removed from the star schema. As a result, the SQL-based queries are simpler. In many cases, the database optimizer can choose better execution plans.
Nevertheless, it also has a disadvantage: A dimension marked as a line item cannot subsequently include additional characteristics. This is only possible with normal dimensions.
Note: In SAP BW 3.0, the term line item dimension from SAP BW 2.0 must a) have precisely one characteristic and b) this characteristic must have a high cardinality. Before, the term line item dimension was often only associated with a). Hence the inclusion of this property in the above. Be aware that a line item dimension has a different meaning now than in SAP BW2.0.
SAP recommends that you use ODS objects, where possible, instead of InfoCubes for line items.
Hope this helps.

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

I used the disc and track numbers, but it won't show on my iPod as separate CDs?

Hi,
I used the disc and track numbers of get info in iTunes, and I would like to have my CDs separate like if they are 3 CDs on my iPod Classic rather then having a big long list of songs, but after using the disc and track numbers, I still don't see on my iPod which one is CD1, and etc. I took a screenshot of my iTunes. How could I have my CDs separate just like the originals?
