Section start on right page

I am using InDesign CS2 to create a 400 page document. There are several sections in the document, and each section will start numbering at 1. Some of the sections start on the left. When I select start section and select start numbering at 1, InDesign automatically makes it a right page.
Is there a way to keep the page on the left and start the numbering at 1? This is not a page number, but I want to use the automatic numbering to get the job done faster and more accurately.

Odd numbered pages are always on the right, and you'll avoid a lot of problems by using the standard. (And if you have a new number on each page, these are page numbers by any definition.) Any reason your sections can't start on the right? 400 years of book-publishing history says it's okay (and correct) to leave a blank page on the left at the end of a section or chapter so that they start on the right.
Otherwise, you can experiment with turning off the various "shuffle pages" options and deleting pages (I know in Indesign CS2 I once had pages numbered incorrectly in a section, and it took the devil of a time to fix it; but I can't remember what the problem was -- but apparently I could be done), or if you don't have bleeds across the gutter you can design your master pages in some sections in reverse so that even though Indesign thinks odd numbered pages are on the right, you actually print them on the left. But expect red flags coming back at you from proofreaders and printers all the way down the line. You could also probably set up an automatically numbered list with one paragraph on each page in its own story.

Bug: Before and After Margins Layout with section starting in right page

Hi,
I am using the Spanish version of Pages 09. I have observed that when I start a new section, I have no problems setting the layout margins (right, left, before, after) of this section.
But if a set that the new section must start in a right page, then the "before" and "after" margins of the layout doesn't work.
Is this the same in English versions of Pages?
Regards,

I see what you are saying.
The problem is Pages seems to have a memory of how you arrived at that layout.
When I construct the pages, it is correct.
I am trying to find out what is interacting in your layout to cause this to happen. It is like there is a hidden inaccessible layout break on the blank inserted page.
I have been tearing my hair out trying to work out what triggers it off. As I experimented with the combinations of settings in Facing pages, Section layouts and which page it starts on, it erratically switches back and forth.
This is why I gave up on Pages years ago as a serious layout tool. It has too many of these raw, poorly thought out interactions. I use a lot of different applications and none of them, that I can think of, have so many of these mind twisting raw oddities. Odd for a supposed user friendly application.
All the rest are pretty literal, you apply the settings and end up with a logical result of those settings. If the result is not what you wanted it is a matter of tracking what is interacting with what and straightening it out. Pages has the annoying "design" of inexplicably greying out functions for no stated reason, that prevents correction. Or hiding the access to the tools to those settings. You can only get to some of them if you have explicitly done something to make them possible. The rules as to what that "something" is, are not apparent nor in most cases explained in the User Guide or the User Interface.
There may be a "reason" why the function is greyed out but it is not revealed to the user without an enormous amount of detective work and as in this case my sleuthing abilities are failing me completely. I might try it again tomorrow after a rest (it is very late here). Either way it is a huge time waster.
This is fundamentally bad User Interface design and what I have railed against since Apple changed shifts, bringing in the OSX programmers who never really got the polished UI of the original Mac OS and have been cooking with Fanta* ever since.

* This is an anecdote originally told by Peter Russell-Clarke, a well known and creative Australian chef back in the 70's. He was berated in the street by a woman who told him that his recipe for +Duck à l'orange+ was "disgusting". When he cross examined her, he found she didn't eat fresh fruit so had made the orange sauce with Fanta.
I use this to try and get the message over to clients when they insist on "substituting" material because "what's the difference". The trouble with people who can't tell the difference is that they rarely ever do, no matter how carefully it is demonstrated to them.

Seperating the detail sections to start a new page

I'm using CR XI and I have the main report set up. I want to create a second section containing a seperate set of detail lines. When I insert the section below I now get detail a and detail b. When I do the preview the two sections are combined. I've added the subreport to detail b and tried to find some way to seperate them but nothing appears to say specificially how to do it.
I just want to have the two details sections seperated and start on seperate pages.
It's doing this:
customer id   customer name customer etc.
supplier id supplier name supplier etc.
customer id   customer name customer etc.
supplier id supplier name supplier etc.
I want it do this:
Main Report
customer id   customer name customer etc.
Sub Report
supplier id supplier name supplier etc.
thanks...

I'm afraid that didn't solve my issue. I already have information that needs to be in the footer.
And I'm looking at a report done by someone else and they have 3 seperate detail sections and each section starts on a seperate page, but I can't find what was done to make this happen. Unfortunately, that person is no longer available here.
My thinking is that there is a setting somewhere that will allow this type of seperation.

Using 'any pages' and 'right pages'

I'm writing a book. I want to use right pages under section to automatically force the first page of a section to be odd paged. But when I use right page, then Pages inserts a page in front of the first page of that section and therefore the first page different does not work (it works of course but on the blank page). As a result I get headers where I do not want them.
Any help there?
Paul

Hullo Paul:
I assume you're using the blank template.
Setting this up for a major project can involve some initial experimentation.
With what you've done, try checking with view / show invisibles to see if you have inadvertently inserted a section or layout break ahead of your intended first page. The invisible markers are shown under "Keyboard Shortcuts" under the Help main menu. They could assist yourself or others to diagnose what has happened here.
On the face of it, however, I am guessing that you may have "layout starts on new page" selected in the layout options of the layout inspector. Deselecting this, if so, might solve your problem. Otherwise, Pages will insert a break before what it is regarding as a new layout.
Please try this, and report in a little more detail if this is not the case.
Regards.

How to get Report Builder to print a section on the same page

I have a section of my report that is three bands. A header
band, the detail band, and a total line band. Sometimes this
section will get split up and print part on the next page. So
basically I need for this section to print on the same page. I know
that I could insert a page break right above the header, but this
will make my report way longer than it needs to be. I have also
unchecked "split allowed" for that band also but that didn't make a
difference. Is there some way to group three bands together so that
if it is two big to print the section on the current page then
print the whole section on the next page. It is driving our
accounting lady nuts because when she likes to verify that the
totals are coming out right and sometimes she has to flip over to
the next page to continue calculating.

you need to create a multi-instrument in the environment next to your audio-instrument,then push a cable from there to your audio-instrument.in the arrange window your multi-instrument will appear in the window where you select the track-type next to the audio tracks, audio-busses etc. these midi tracks now trigger your vsti on the selected midi channel.you have to record your midi now on these tracks and not on the audio-instrument track,because there you only trigger its own channel. i hope i explained it well but i think you have understood what i ment.

How can I refresh only a section of a web Page

Hi,
I am generating a web page using pl/sql. This web page has
multiple sections in it. Only first ten records of each
sections are displayed and the user can click on <prev> <next>
button to display the prev/next 10 records. e.g.,
Section 1 - Previous Names
Smith
Owen
McDonald
<<Prev 10 Next 10>>
Section 2 - Previous Addresses
111 State St.
121 Altamont Ave.
48 Apt 1., Bleeker St.
<<Prev 10 Next 10>>
Section 3 and so on ...
My dilemma is that if a user wants to display the next ten
records of a Section (e.g. Previous Names), I only want that
part of the page to refresh instead of the entire page to reload
again (similar to an ASP using Remote Scripting).
Can this be done in Oracle using PL/Sql?
Thanks
Vic

Each Section is independent of the other i.e., the change in the
contents of one section shouldn't affect the contents of another
section. This works fine. I am able to change the contents of
a section without affecting the contents of another section. I
basically keep track of each sections starting position.
Though this works fine and gets me what I want, it's not very
efficient. Each time a section's contents change (by clicking
prev/next) the whole page needs to be reloaded. I want only the
section that was clicked on to reload.
In Active Server Pages (asp), a person can use "remote
scripting" to reload only a part of the page without reloading
the entire page. I was wondering if this could be done using
PL/Sql as well?
I could certainly use frames but that's not an option. Frames
are a big no no here.

How to display data in table with dynamic rows, section wise in a page.

Hello all,
I work on report creation in BI Publisher where I need to display data from xml in a table in pdf format.The output page is divided into two vertical sections , containing tables, with exactly same columns on left and right sections. The number of rows in table depends on the output of the fetching query. The page is to be populated in such a way that, at first, the left table is populated, then the next rows fill up the table on the right section of the page, if more rows are left, they fill up the tables on next page[first the left table, and then the right one, in a similar fashion as in page 1]
On a bird's eye view, the data needs to be simply mapped to a table, with dynamic number of rows, and so can span number of pages depending on size of data. On a implementation level, I am stuck in getting the left section of the page populated first, then the right section[in place of the right page], and then the next page.
Please guide me if someone has any idea in getting this achieved.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response...
I am able to get the desired functionality. I just need the tables to be inside a bigger table, that also has a dividing line between the two columns. This is was is intended in the req. provided to me. The column formatting option provides me a line ,but that is not further modifiable .Please help me in getting a perpendicular line between the two columns, which I need to be of a specified width and color.

I forgot my ipod 5 passcode. i do all the steps itunes tells my to do. when i get to the right page and it says "restore ipod" i click it. it works for about 11minutes left and then it says like 'error cod erXX011210021" PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

my iPod is I 5th generation. I forgot my passcode and typed in the wrong thing too many times, so now on the lock screen it says "connect to iTunes" I did all the steps your supposed to. I unplugged all cord from iPod connecting to my computer, I held the home button and plugged my iPod back in, and then I keep holding the home button until the iTunes sign showed up. I got to the right page and then clicked restore. A small window came up saying " restore and update" I clicked it, I agreed to the terms and agreements and the updating started. The updated finished with =out a problem. I t was when I clicked "restore " that I had a problem. The restoring lasted until I had about 10 or 11 minutes left. that is when I saw a alert of my screen saying "iTunes could not finish restoring,. an unknown error occurred. error code: 0xE8000065" I tried restoring and updating my iPod about three or four times now! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See this support document, iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts - Apple Support or this one regarding the same error and Windows. iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC - Apple Support

New tabs vanish when I view another one, MOST URL's vanish after a second and that is a safety issue if you can see if you are on the right page!

A while ( couple weeks ) before the last update and change I noticed my URL's were vanishing a second after I arrived on a page. Not all URL's but most. This is a safety issue if I can't see I'm on the right page and have not been diverted.
ALSO, I can't copy them to send a link via email if they aren't there! I found a way in the old FF click down list, but even that feature is gone on this new version! This needs fixed at once.
AND when I make a new tab it vanishes! Or worse does not display like a tab. I can't go back and forth between pages if the tab vanishes. This started with the last FF update and change. This is poor design!!! When I updated the restore previous session grayed out. All my tabs were gone and I don't have them all in history. I was researching some things and it was important, now I can't remember them all. This is not a good thing!
Unless you pin all your tabs immediately they will vanish??????? Stupid design. It does not even show the new tab for THIS page!!! "but is does show your URL....hmmmmm"
What is the reason for having an arrow go through open tabs if they vanish???
PLEASE FIX THIS or I'll have to change browsers, I'll have no choice. How can you do anything if FF erases your URL's or tabs!

Hey Fox1User,
Thank you for your message. I believe that this will happen when you have a dark theme applied to the new version of Firefox. It has been resolved in the 29.0.1 update that went out yesterday and would love to hear if this has improved the issue for you. I understand that the tabs are disappearing and it sounds like they may be blending into the tab bar.
However! if this is not the case, can you please show a screenshot of the tabs [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] after trying to produce this in Safe Mode [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
I hope we find the culprit, looking forward to your reply.
I also noticed you have 4 versions of Flash installed.

How do I start a second page that will be linked to my Home Page?

I am new to webdesign. I followed the tutorials and have my home page (index.html) all set up; now I want to add some pages that will be linked to my home page, but I can't find a tutorial that addresses this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you, Mr. Monroe

Thank you Cowboy in Arizona, Nancy O., and Bregent for your responses:
I’m using Dreamweaver CS4, by the way. If my second page, as well as subsequent pages, will not look like my index page, especially if I want to use a different template, should I not start a new page, with File > New> Blank Page > HTML > Template of Choice > , etc. ?
If I do this, the next step is to choose a Doc Type. Which should I choose? I would guess that I should choose an HTML type, since this is the code that I have selected. Should I choose the HTML 4.01 transitional or the HTML 4.01 strict?
Then, in the drop-down window, under CSS Layout, which of the three selections do I choose: Add to Head, Create New File, or Link to existing File?
When I selected (by guessing) “HTML 4.01 transitional”, and then “Link to existing File” and then clicked on “Create”, the following message came up:
“You must specify the external style sheet that contains the CSS for this layout.”
This leads me to think that I have to create an external style sheet (CSS) for this page that would possibly also be used for subsequent pages. This begs the following question: Is the creation of an external style sheet (CSS) the first step in designing a new web page (if one doesn’t use the “save as” technique)?
I can appreciate why all three responders have suggested that I use “save as” to start a new page since using the File > New method appears to be quite complicated. However, the use of possibly various templates seems to require that I use the File > New method. Is this a correct conclusion?
Thank you all for your help,
Mr. Monroe

My screen has a blank section on the right hand side of the screen

since installing updates my screen has a blank section on the right hand side which remains on start up and operation

Hi @Graham1957
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that the display has a blank area on the right side, after some updates were performed. I am happy to help with this.
The quickest thing to try would be a system restore. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
Choose a restore point from before the problem started, and let me know if this makes any difference. If not, then please post the full product number and verify the operating system in use on your notebook. See the following documents if you need help in finding those.

How do I start with a page number other than 1?

I am writing a book and have each chapter in a separate Pages file. I figured out how to insert page numbers. But how do I start a chapter with page numbers starting at say, page 22, rather than page 1?

Use the section tab of the layout inspector.

PDF Merge - merged report ages are not continuous but starting in new page.

Hi,
we tried using - FOUtility.mergeFOs(java.io.Reader[] foReaders, java.util.Properties prop) to merge and create a single PDF file but its not working as expected.
Issue:
The space of output pdf page 1 is discarded and the second merged file always starting in new page.
Input:
Report1 having 1 page
Report2 having 2 pages - (another description )
Expected Output PDF:
Page 1 ( report1) , Page 1( report 2's page1 and continues ) to page 2(report 2)
Actual Output PDF :
Page 1 ( report 1), Page 2( report 2's page1), Page 3 ( report 2's page 2)
Issue:
The space of output pdf page 1 is discarded and the second merged file always starting in new page.
Anyone faced this issue before, if yes, how did you solve it ?
Thanks,
Ayaps

The output is a chm file. I am compiling as MS HTML Help
under RoboHelp x5.
After doing a little more trail work, I have noticed some
other "strange" happenings. I can get the porjects to merge, but
from the TOC all of the articles open in a new window. From the
index, however, they all open as they should--in the topic frame
from the main window. Not sure why that is.
For a brief synopsis, here is what I have at this point:
A "master" project file that includes:
One new project for a section that is
complete.
One project from the existing documentation.
I am not sure if I need to have the window definitions for
each project would impact this or not.
Through trial and error, I have narrowed down the problem to
the original documentation project. If I remove it from the TOC and
generate the project, the new topics display as they should.
I will keep testing and see what I came come up with. If you
have any idea as to what I might change in the original
documentation to get it to work just let me know.
Thanks for all your help!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

Paragraph Format - "Top of Right Page" not working

I have set a Paragraph tag called "Chapter" to "Top of Right Page" so that I can start each chapter at the top of a right page. When I apply the paragraph tag, the text just goes to the top of the next page, left or right. I have checked and checked and triple checked the format, and I have it set to "Top of Right Page". FrameMaker is getting the "Top" part right, but seems to be skipping the "Right Page" part. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Vee,
Are you sure the document is set up as double-sided? Check Format > Page Layout > Pagination.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSFBB62D22-FA1A-46b2-A5AE-77E65FD4F83D.html
