R/H wihtout numbers in Text variables

Hi all,
I need clarification about the Running Header. In my job, H1 style comes in (ex. 1.1 Introduction, 1.2 Sun) etc., In the Running Head i need H1 text only not numbers. Is it possible in Text variables?
Thanks in advance

If it's automatic numbering, the numbers will not be picked up.
If it's manual numbering, you'll have to apply a character style to the text part of the paragraph.

  • Text variable + text with tabs to align away from spine

    Hello
    I need a document header that shows the chapter captions. So I created a text variable that picks the format of the caption.
    But the chapter captions have tabs:
    I.>Introduction
    So in the header, on the left pages it looks fine:
    alignment is "away from spine"
    I.>Introduction
    But on the right page the chapter number remains with the spine, only the text after the tabs aligns "away from the spine":
    I.                 >                                   Introduction
    I found it difficult to search for this on google and the forum (and no result) - and hope I made it clear in the text above I can't believe it's a rare problem and really hope I just oversee something and it can be solved..
    Thank you!!

    Some details about how the paragraph is constructed would help. I'm guessing here that the variable is a running head variable based on paragraph style, and that the nmber is manually typed, along with the tab, rather than being a numbered list.
    If that's the case, substituting one or more em spaces or other fixed-width spaces in combination for the tab should solve the problem in the headers, but may cause other issues in the body of the text if your intention by using the tab was to always have a variable space between the number and the words depening on how many characters there are in your number. With roman numerals and proportional fonts it would be difficult without the tab to always have the chapter title itself begin at the same x-coordinate in the frame regardless of the number.
    To overcome that issue, you can use two variables in the header, both designated as Running Header (character style), and separate them with an em-space or similar (not a tab). If there are not already nested styles in use for the titles, create two character styles that are nothing but names, then in the paragraph style for your chapter titles go to Drop Caps and Nested Styles and apply the first character syle up to 1 tab character, None through 1 tab character, and the second character style through 1 sentence. You two character style based variables in the header will pick up the two parts of the paragraph. It seems unlikely that anyone would notice or care that the spacing is fixed between number and text in the headers but not on the page, especially since the alignment shifts from page to page.

  • How to use Text Variables to make Running Footers

    I'm confused about how Text Variables are behaving in the creation of Running footers on a pair of master page.
    My document has 3-6 Steps on each page. Each Step is designated with a unique character style called StepName.
    I want a running footer that has the first instance of StepName on the left page and the last instance of StepName on the right page. Like a dictionary.
    I can get the correct text to appear, but then it adds an unwanted ParagraphStyle (a substep letter) that gives me this:
    A) Open the File
    when what I want is just this:
    Open the File
    The Character Style StepName is not based on any other style.
    I have seen this done but can't understand why I'm picking up a lettering scheme on the footer.
    -Christian

    Sounds like you have a numbered list applied to the paragraph style of your footer.  It's either part of the paragraph style of the footer or it's local formatting. Either way, you can turn it off by selecting the paragraph and clicking on the numbered list button on the paragraph panel or the main control panel. Or you can edit the style and under bulleted and numbered lists change the list to none.

  • Multiline substitution of text variables

    Very often there are problems with headers and footers. Thus it is necessary to apply an absolutely unsustainable methods of solution.
    In addition, I would like to see further development of text variables. In this direction, ID is too little flexibility.
    Required user-configurable universal type of a variable instead of rarely used bad customizable predefined types of variables.
    For example, calculated variables, functions for numbers and text, connecting scripts to create a final form of text replacement.

    I don't use auto-correct, so someone else will have to tell us whether and auto-correct list is only global or can be resticted at the document level.
    Another possibility, though pretty clunky, is to use data merge. Just put a placeholder field for each string where you need it, then merge the file. You'd need to set up a Tab delimited text file with one record and all of your strings on one line, I imagine.

  • Text Variables - possible use metadata of the document itself?

    When using text variables, is it possible to pull the metadata from the document itself (as opposed to a placed image, etc.)?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    If the title of the document was the same as the file name, you could use variables:
    A second way is more manual. You could use the Section Marker field in Numbering & Section Options. You'd have to enter the title in the field. Then on the Master Page, place a text frame, and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Section Marker.

  • Error in creating Text Variable

    Hi  Gurus,
    I have one requirement to create a text variable for the user & the user wants to put the description as input to the variable.
    But when i am creating the variable,the variable type "characteristic Value"  is by default selected and i am also unable to change the variable type to text variable.
    Please any body have the solution to resolve the error.
    Regards
    Debasish

    Hi,
    Just select a particular key figure and on the right side you will see its properties..
    Now just besides the description of the key figure you will find a symbol for create variables, just click on that.. It will create a text variable...

  • 0FISCPER text variable "External Characteristic Value Key" has changed

    Hello!
    Could somebody help and tell, why in BI7.0 version (but 3.x RRMX version) the format of the 0FISCPER text variable (also other time characteristics) has changed from 001.2007 (version 3.x) to 0/1  .0700 (version 7.0)?
    I cannot understand the logic of the new Exterternal characteristic calue key. What can I do about it?
    Thanks for your help, gurus!
    BR, Auli Peltola

    I figured out myself the reason for the problem: in the new version the fiscal year variant has to be defined in report so that the 0FISCPER would work.

  • How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

    How  can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
    I am able to create characteristic variables
    but i can't find option to create text variables.
    What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
    When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
    How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

    Hi,
    You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
    After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
    Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

  • Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

    In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
    Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
    This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
    This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
    Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
    Thanks

    Ask in the ID forum...

  • Text Variable Not Refreshed

    Hello,
    I created a data text variable user exit.
    everyting works fine, but,
    1) Selection options:
    Year: 2010
    Month: 1 to 11
    The query and text variable return right values
    Year 2010
    Month: Jan to Nov
    but, if i want to make new selection
    2) Year : 2011
    month : 1 to 11
    the query results are fine, but, the variable text return its old : return:
    year: 2010
    month: Jan to nov
    3) when I do it again
    year: 2011
    month: 1 to 11
    The query and text variable return right values
    Year 2011
    Month: Jan to Nov
    Why this happen? why they string doesnt work it 1rst..?
    Thx
    Reg

    I assume , variable 'ZP_CALY2' , which you are reading is created on calyear/ month which stores data as '2011.001' for e.g.
    and you are extracting year from the same and writing the same in a variable for calyear .
    In that case correct the code as
    WHEN 'ZP_AN2'.
    LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZP_CALY2'.
    zt_dt1 = loc_var_range-low +0(4).
    l_s_range-low = zt_dt1.
    l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
    APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDLOOP.
    Otherwise you can try this option ,
    You are entering year in the selection screen , so create a text variable with replacement path and give the replacement characteristic as fiscalyear info-object used in the report .also restrict fiscal year variable in the keyfigure . use this variable along with the keyfigure .
    It will give you the correct year .

  • Issue with text variable by replacement path

    Hello All
    I have a date field called ZDATE1 (it is based on 0DATE). I have used this this IO in a query and have create variables on it (ZSTARTDT and ZENDDT), Start and End date. And my KFs are based on these 2 dates: Quantity - Start Date & Quantity - End Date  / Product Value - Start Date & Product Value - End Date. Those are my descriptions for my KFs.
    Now, I want the replace the descriptions "Start Date and End Date" with the actual values that I am entering like 09/01/2010 and 09/10/2010. Ex: Quantity - 9/01/2010 & Quantity - 9/10/2010.
    Therefore, I create 2 Text Variables,
         1. ZSTART, Replacement Path, Ref Char (ZDATE1), Replace by Variable ZSTARTDT, with KEY, offset - blank
         2. ZEND, Replacement Path, Ref Char (ZDATE1), Replace by Variable ZENDDT,      with KEY, offset - blank
    And I put these text variables in the descriptions. But when I run the query, I still see: Quantity - &ZSTART& and Quantity - &ZEND&.
    Note that my ZDATE1 which is based on 0DATE does not have a master data table or text table; it is purely transaction data. Does that mean, my text replacement path variables wont work.
    Any suggestions??

    Hi,
    The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
    To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.

  • How can I get an ampersand to show up when between two other letters, in a text variable?

    Using Indesign CC 2014, on Windows 7.
