Printing progressive numbers

Hi All,
Below is a reply (Peter) posted and I am trying to follow it. I do
everything he outlined but when I click on section all I see is text or
blank page. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul
You don't duplicate the image to 100 pages.
Make sure you are in Word Processing mode (choose a blank WP mode template).
Select the ticket design:
Menu > Arrange > Send Objects to Background
Menu > Arrange > Lock
Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name: > Ticket
Now use this Section available from the Section pull down menu on the Toolbar and the image will appear in the background on each page.

I need to print two part tickets for a fund raiser. I will need 160 tickets on 3x5" index cards and they need to be numbered (both parts). I followed every step as Peter outlined and named the capture and clicked OK. The only option I have on the drop down is the First Page Only.
I just tried it again and it still will not work.
Thanks
I think there's a much simpler method than the one Peter described.
If you're printing directly on individual cards, the numbering part will be easy.
Open a blank Page layout document.
Go File > Page Setup...
Choose a page size as close to 3 x 5" as possible. Choose the orientation that will be most comfortable when setting up your ticket.
If the page size is larger than 3x5, you'll need to either adjust a margin or add a layout guide line to keep yourself within the 3 x 5" (less margins) print area. Which margin you use depends on your printer and your page orientation.
(Modify the set-up instructions to fit your situation.)
Add the graphics objects you need. Add one or more text frames to hold the fixed text that will appear on each ticket.
Add one text box for the ticket number. In side the box type "Ticket " (no quotes, and note the space after the word), then go Insert > Page Number.
Press command-+ to increase the type size to the size you want.
Set the font and colour as you wish.
Resize the box to hold the largest number you'll need.
When all is set, Select the Text box, then press command-D to duplicate it.
Use the Metrics Inspector to rotate the second text box 270°, then drag it into position on the stub at the left end of the ticket.
Drag the first box to a position near the bottom of the main portion of the ticket.
When you are satisfied with the layout of your ticket, print a test copy.
Adjust as (and if) necessary.
*When you have one finished copy:*
Click the View button and choose to Show Page Thumbnails.
Click on the thumbnail for the first (and only) page to select it.
Start pressing command-D to duplicate the page.
When you get 8 pages, press command-A to select all of them.
Press command-D to duplicate all of them (You'll now have 16 pages/tickets.)
Press command-A once more to select all 16 tickets.
Press command-D nine times to make a total of 160 tickets.
Scroll to check that the last card/ticket is numbered "Ticket 160".
Print.

Barry

  • How to print page numbers in adobe form

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to print page numbers in adobe form.
    Thanks in advance
    Chaitanya

    Hi,
    Yes the field page n of m is used normally for printing page numbers. But it won't display the current page of total pages by itself. You have to set the run time property to n (current page ) and m (Total number of pages). Carefully select the # (current page ) and ## (Total number of pages). Hope this works for you.
    My requirement is to have the user control on current page. For Example:
    Example for a Invoice with 5 PO items (stands on 2 pages) :
    1st  page is the letter : no page number
    2nd page is the 1st page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    3rd page is the 2nd page of the 1st copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    4th page is the 1st page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C1 / 2u201D
    5th page is the 2nd page of the 2nd copy of the invoice : we should read u201C2 / 2u201D
    Presently i cam getting the current page number for page 4th as 3 / 2 and for 5th page 4 / 2. I could able to control the total number of pages from print program. But when i am printing the second copy (4th and 5th pages), I couldn't able to control the current page number. I need to initialize the Current page count (4th page ) as 1.
    I have used the follwing java scripting:
    this.rawValue = wv_pages - xfa.layout.page(this)
    where wv_pages is total no of pages calculated from print program.
    Please help me in this regard with some formcal or java scripting conditions.
    Thank You,
    Regards,

  • How to print Sequential  Numbers like purchase order?

    I ma new to mac and Numbers 09 and have a quick question. How do I print sequential numbers?

    crée un nouveau document à partir du modèle personnel prédéfini
    et renomme le document avec un nouveau numéro.
    Il insère également le numéro de facture au début du document.

  • How do I print a Numbers document?  All I get is the heading!

    How do I print a Numbers document on my Mac?  All I get is the heading!

    Hi L,
    What do you see after Menu > File > Print?
    Are you using Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3.1?
    Please reply with a screen shot of a small part of your screen (large shots are often difficult to read).
    To take a screen shot,
    1. hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys.
    2. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop.
    3. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
    4. Choose File > Choose > Insert Image.
    If this does not work, Close the Insert Box (red cross on the top right) and go back to Step 3. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
    Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Printing in Numbers 3.0 not doing what I want

    I have beeen having difficulty printing in Numbers 3.0. First I am not proficiant in spreadsheets and probably won't change. Here is my problem.
    I have a spreedsheet, more like a database (no calculations , just data). I used to have titles for my columns instead of A,B,C, etc. They no longer show. When I print the preview they also don't show. However when when I print they appear, but not at the top of each page, some where in the middle. Proper place, except not at top of each page. I'm sure I have screwed up some settings. Apprerciate bailing me out.
    Thanks

  • Printing a Numbers document

    I want to print a Numbers document from an iPad2 to a WiFi Canon MX882 printer. I have Numbers Version 1.5 on my iPad and Numbers '08 on my new iMac with Lion. I've tried sending the document to Numbers on the iMac but it says I must use Numbers '09. That's a $19.99 purchase and the problem is that a new "Numbers '12" should be coming out soon, so I don't want to jump the gun. I've heard that some Apps will work, but I don't know which one is the best. I've tried to find Printopia but haven't been able to find it. I tried sending it as a PDF by email and I was able to print but it was not full size. I'm also wondering if using iCloud would help. Any help would be appreciated.

    No matter what I did, when I tried to drag a rectangle around the unwanted pages, all my wanted pages were highlighted too. It was like one big graphic object. If I tried to drag the corners to reduce the size of the table, it did just that made everything smaller, but didn’t get rid of the extra rows and columns that I did not want.
    So I fumbled around and finally realized that there was a “tab” at the bottom of the last row. What did it do? I still don’t really know but when I clicked on that tab and dragged down I got more rows. So I tried to drag the tab up and delete down. I couldn’t get this method to work with rows but I was able to get rid of extra columns using the “tab” to the right of the last column.
    In trying to drag , I realized I could highlight rows. I did so and hit the delete key. I finally got my table down to four pages just the way I wanted it! Don’t ask me how.
    Try the simple bit of highlighting unwanted parts and using the delete key.
    Also the Sheet Inspector (2nd from left) tells you how many pages in your table. Mine was 12! I got it down to four. But I somehow managed to add one more row and was back up to five. Used the “tab” and deleted the unwanted row and went back to four pages.
    I will be sure to look at the Sheet Inspector before I print.
    I don’t know if any of this helps.

  • Why won't my printer print page numbers? The page numbers show up when I preview the document by don't print on the page.

    Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

    Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
    What are your margin settings?

  • How can I add header on printing with Numbers

    How can I add header on printing with Numbers? The previous version use to have it and I cannot find it in the new one ...

    Hi Tanya,
    Glad to hear that you found how to edit page headers and footers in Numbers 3.2. I agree that Help in Numbers 3 is woeful. No searchable PDF to download and use offline. All is online (one page at a time) and we need to know the terms we are looking for before we look.
    The first HelpDesk:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
    For printing to paper where layout is important, I use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) with its Print View. But it is orphanware. As the name suggests, there has not been a major overhaul since 2009. With that in mind, it is a useful version to hang onto while we hope and wait (and provide feedback to Apple) for something in future versions of Numbers 3.x to provide better layout capability.
    Indeed, each new update of Numbers 3.x has restored more of the old features while adding new features that are enhancements over Numbers '09. Many of the Numbers 3 enhancements reflect long-awaited wishes through this forum, and were passed on by Numbers Feedback to Apple. So it seems that Apple does take heed of feedback.
    In the meantime, I enjoy the charm of Numbers '09 whilst exploring the new features of Numbers 3.
    What has been GAINED in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5473882?start=75&tstart=0
    (Very long thread because it started with Numbers 3.0, and enhancements have continued through Numbers 3.2).
    Hints on workarounds in Numbers 3 is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372
    Some workarounds are no longer needed, but what amazes me is how many Numbers '09 features (the so-called "lost" features) were not lost; the settings have simply been moved. Moreover, many features such as margin settings carry over with a Numbers '09 document or template into Numbers 3.
    Hints for layout on screen before printing to paper:
    Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
    Print View workarounds
    Use a layout guide:

  • How do you print the numbers next to the first column

    In Numbers I can't figure out how to print the numbers next to the first column to the left. Say I have 350 people on a list and I want to print the sheet with the numbers next to the people's name, how do I do that. Excel automatically does it. However, I cannot find the option to print and include the numbers from the standard Numbers worksheet. Thanks for your assistance.

    In excel it is actually in the page setup dialog. under the "sheet" tab. Numbers doesn't have one table per page (excel is basically one large table of cells). So printing header and column labels doesn't really work in numbers, because those labels don't show up until you click inside the tables. If you notice when you do that they abstruct the view of everything else that might be near the edge of the table.
    The other posters response is the best way to do it. you can get column Numbers (but not letters) by using the column command in an extra row at top also. Thre is a way if you really want column letters, but it ain't pretty. Let us know if you want that too.

  • Print progress window distilling into PDF

    I am running an ahlar vellum cad product and trying to print to pdf driver. I am getting a print progress window burned into my pdf. How do I turn off the print progress window?

    Adobe is capturing the print progress window and distilling it into my pdf file. When I view the pdf, the print progress screen is in the middle of what would be otherwise a good pdf file. It appears Adobe is distilling what is on the screen directly to a pdf file. How can I keep the print progress screen from appearing when I print to the Adobe pdf printer? This seems to be the easiest way to correct the problem but I have yet to find anything that would turn off the print progress window.

  • Print Progress Dialog box always stays on top

    Since upgrading to InDesign CC I have noticed that all print progress dialog boxes stay on top of all windows, even after switching apps. I find this highly annoying and want it to go away. Is there a preference I can change to make it NOT be on top, especially when I've switched to a different application?

    (I am OP, having account issues)
    Trashing preferences wouldn't help if it is a default behavior, which I think this is since it's been happening since the beginning with CC. I was wondering if this was a behavior that I can change with a preference or if I'm just stuck with it.

  • HP 8600 Pro Print Progress Bar

    Prior to buying my HP 8600 Pro I had a Lexmark X9575 which, when printing,  displayed a wonderful print progress bar dialog which showed what percentage of a page was printed and told you which page you were on e.g. page one of a four page document. Just wondered if the HP 8600 Pro had something like that.
    If not, is it something HP might consider when updating the software in the future please?

    Hi,
    You are most welcome. As mentioned above, HP Photo Creations has many more options. I've played around with it but for just printing photos, like many people do, a simpler product is the way to go.
