Suppress chapter numbering during Word import

Hello all,
I found no solution for this rather basic task yet, any help would be welcomed. Most writers will prefer an online help without numbering in the topic titles, so how can this be suppressed? Robohelp also includes nasty spaces by adding bundles of non-breaking spaces - not very nice.
Of course I am aware that I could remove the numbering in the source document each time, or apply a corresponding Word template. But this would break up the workflow of updating referencerd Word documents.

Regretably RoboHelp converts the word-numbering into plaint text. So when I map a heading to a RH style without numbering, then I receive a topic title with the number as part of the title text, separated by non-breaking spaces.
In the settings for the FrameMaker import I can simply remove the numbering but I have not found anything similar yet in Word.

Suppress chapter numbers in bookmarks

When producing a PDF (File > Save as), Framemaker always puts the chapter numbers into the bookmarks ("3.4.3.1 Create New user"..). Is there a way to suppress this? I have tried the various options from the dialog box that opens (including using elements as source instead of styles) but have found no solution yet.

Robert, Shlomo Perets' Timesavers has an option that will automatically supress the autonumbers.

CS3 work flow/Word import/Chapter numbering

We routinely produce 200+page documents using MS Word - the format is fairly basic, but each chapter is numbered (e.g., 1. Project Description) and within each chapter, there are usually numbered subheads with descriptive paragraphs (e.g., 1.1 Study Overview, 1.2 Study Characteristics, 1.3 Hazardous Materials). Those are incremented when the chapter increments...if you're in chapter 2, then the subheads become 2.1, 2.2, etc.
The Word document is always sent to me as a single, lengthy, multi-chapter doc. It is ALWAYS subject to change. Formatting it is far easier in InDesign CS3, and with the document-linking feature, if the Word document is changed, then updating is easily accomplished. However, my stumbling block appears to be in the Chapter numbering - InDesign only allows one Chapter number per document. I tried to use Section Numbering, but the Paragraph Style sheet does not allow that (among other things). I hesitate to use the Book feature - there would be a lot of hassle accommodating any and all Word doc changes our professional people make when they revise the content. If I have to use the Book feature, well, OK, but that might mean an even longer time to put these things together. Our people don't really care TOO much what it looks like (I do) as long as it is technically correct, so I have to make sure that it doesn't take longer to format this thing than the way we do it now.
Can someone point me to a white paper or solid tutorial on how this might be accomplished? If there is a good published book on it, please let me know! Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

> Formatting it is far easier in InDesign CS3, and with the document-linking feature, if the Word document is changed, then updating is easily accomplished.
I think this would be the major stumbling block. If you turn on the preference (normally off) to "Create Links when Placing Text Files," then when someone updates the Word file and you in ID update the link to it, all your ID editing and text formatting (including application of your autonumbered paragraph styles) gets wiped out.
So ... don't do that. There are many ways to approach this workflow to smooth it out (save ID formatting for last, after breaking the link; or have Word users apply same-named styles to their Word doc; or have them use InCopy instead of Word); but they may require changes that your colleagues won't accept as necessary (as you mentioned...)

Page/chapter numbering probs in material converted from Word

Situation: Need to convert ~300 pages (multiple files) of Word into structured Frame. I'm not very familiar with structured Frame (but am working on this), and am a long-time user of nonstructured. Moving Word 2007 files into Frame9 (in TCS2).
Problem: Chapter/page numbering. No matter what I try, including copies of a file that demonstrably works, one copy does not accept the "Continued" settings for page numbering. It resets the TOC to page 1. Copies of that file added to the TOC also reliably reset page numbering to 1. When I go in to see what's going on I find that the Numbering dialog for each problem file shows it mysteriously reset to start page numbering at 1. (These copies are nearly identical, differing only in a numeral in one heading to remind me what chapter each is file supposed to be.)
Further, when I added an autonumbered ChapterTitle paragraph at the top of each file to test chapter numbering, the page numbering problem resolved itself (!) but the chapters don't increment as expected. Numbering string: "C:Chapter <n=1>" for Chpt1 and "C:Chapter <n+>" for the rest of them.
Test setup: Saw this in production files and stepped back to use a simple Word source file as a test. Constructed several Normal paragraphs, a bulleted list, and a numbered list, and two heading levels (Heading1, Heading2) in this file. Saved; closed. Opened the file in Frame (Structured). Created several nearly identical copies and added all to a book file. Added a TOC to the book. Set the numbering: Chpt1 starts Chapter and Page at 1 and all others are set to "Continued" in both categories.
Added the ChapterTitle paragraph to each file after conversion.
In one experiment I applied several of the "target" Frame paragraph formats. Target formats were supplied by writer who works primarily in a structured Frame setup that is similar to the one planned for the converted material. In one file all paragraphs were set to their Frame equivalents. In others there was a mix of original (as brought over from Word) and Frame formats. Made no apparent difference.
Questions: Is this something about structured vs. unstructured? About structured Frame WRT conversion from Word? Either way, has anyone else seen (more to the point, *resolved*) similar?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

OK--
WRT "<$chapnum>": check, thanks for the reminder. (Yes, I agree that chapter/page numbering tabs are different items.) :-)
To clarify: yes, the idea is a Word > Frame conversion. The process stumbled upon so far starts with opening Word files in unstructured Frame. (I'd never done it, either---never had a need to try. Somebody new to Frame asked if it was possible, so we experimented and voila!) I have recommended dropping files into .mif and then resaving as .fm in order to lose any artifactual Word stuff.
Step 2 is applying appropriate Frame paragraph styles from a supplied list, and creating book files. (The page numbering issue resolved once I added a ChapterHead paragraph. Using the <$chapnum> tag handles the remaining chapter number issue.)
In theory Step 3 will be the move into handling the fully-converted material as structured Frame documents. The key point, though, appears to be the conversion table. I get this from a WritersUSA article by Alan Houser at http://www.writersua.com/articles/frame/index.html:
FrameMaker provides a mechanism called a conversion table to automate much of the task of legacy document conversion. The conversion table maps unstructured FrameMaker paragraph and character formats to elements, and allows you to automatically nest groups of elements. If your legacy documents were created using a style-based authoring tool (typically FrameMaker or Word [!]) and your authors have used those styles consistently, you may be able to automate 80%-90% of the conversion process. If your legacy documents include a significant amount of manual or ad-hoc formatting, the conversion will be substantially more tedious.
Looks like my group will have to create this.
Thanks, all, for the help. :-)

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying

When I copy and paste a chapter from MS Word into Pages my tables and equations are trashed. But importing them results in no control over my template How do I get my chapter into my template without copying?

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

Chapter numbering - how to get rid of it

Is there an easy way to suppress the chapter numbering of
imported topics? I cannot imagine that the majority of help authors
want topics that are imported from Word documents to maintain the
chapter numbers.
I noticed these numbers are always included in a specific
way. The corresponding lines begin with
<h1>1.<span..> </span>
, i.e., two non-breaking spaces in the span. That means it would
probably be possible to use an advanced search & replace tool
to remove the numbering, not a very nice workflow though. Are you
awaye of any other method?

This sounds like a style mapping issue. You could start by
reading
this
link on Peter Grainge's site that links to other topics
depending on which RH version you are using.

Printing Numbers In Words In Purchase Order

Dear Friends,
I want to display the total Purchase Order value in words eg- 300.00 as Three Hundred Only, Plz tell me how to do this. Also please tell me from where I will get the Terms & conditions field for PO, I have searched EKKO & EKPO but there is only Terms Key not the Terms & conditions.
Bye,

You can use the function module
report zrich_0002 .
tables spell.
data : t_spell like spell occurs 0 with header line.
data : pamount like spell-number value '1234510'.
sy-title = 'SPELLING NUMBER'.
perform spell_amount using pamount 'USD'.
write: 'NUMBERS', t_spell-word, 'DECIMALS ', t_spell-decword.
*       FORM SPELL_AMOUNT                                             *
form spell_amount using pwrbtr pwaers.
call function 'SPELL_AMOUNT'
       exporting
            amount    = pamount
            currency = pwaers
            filler    = space
            language = 'E'
       importing
            in_words = t_spell
       exceptions
            not_found = 1
            too_large = 2

Chapter Numbers in a table of contents

Hi Experts,
I'd like to add a table of contents (TOC) including chapter numbers in my template. For example:
Table of Contents
1. Title
1.1 Sub-Title
1.1.1 SubSub-Title
To do so:
•     I created a template with a table of contents.
•     In the report body, I determine the chapter number using <?position()?>: <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’H1’, position())?>
•     Once the chapter number determined, I write it in the title: <?XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE($_XDOCTX,’H1’)?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: <?SUBNODE_NM?> - STORE: <?STORE_UNIT_ID?> on which I applied the heading style required
=>     When I launch the report, the chapter number appears correctly in the report body but not in the TOC. In the TOC, I only get the title chapter.
Any idea how I could do this?
Thank you in advance,
Sonia.

Hi Sonia,
You can directly use position() instead of storing in variables (Refer Template Builder for Word - TOC marker in foreach loop for an example).
But if you want to you variables for some other reasons, then use xsl context specific variables.
Instead of <?position()?>: <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’H1’, position())?> use
*<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>*
and instead of <?XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE($_XDOCTX,’H1’)?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: .... use
*<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: (formatted as Heading1).*
So on the whole it wold be similar to
<?for-each:group_name?>
<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>
<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL:
Chapter contents
<?end for-each?>
Now update your TOC (right click -> update field).
Now you should be able to see the chapter numbers both in TOC and report body.
Hope this helps.

How to add chapter numbers as well as page numbers?

Hi. I have a large text document with numbered pages. But I can't figure out how to keep those numbers sequential and add running chapter numbers (automatically) at the same time. Right now, I have to number the chapters manually. (At over 70 chapters, it becomes quite inconvenient to have to renumber them when adding or subtracting content.) Help!?
e

Pages does not have an auto-chapter numbering system.
Your manual solution is it until Apple gives us something better.
Pages may not be the best solution for you if this is important.

Convert numbers to words

Hello friends i am in search of a programme to convert the number in to words.If u have do post.

There is more than one language in the world - to convert a number to english is simple - he had not even said, in which language it should be transferred. Especially for large numbers this is important, f.e. an american billion and an european billion is a big difference, because an european billion is an american trillion; an european trillion is a billion american billions and so on.
greetings Marsian

Convert Numbers to Words in Check Printing

I am creating my own check template in SAPscript instead of a smartform simply because I did not want/find a driver program for a smartform. I am a little confused on how to perform ABAP function calls in SAPscript and need some help. I figure this ABAP code will do the job:
DATA: wa_amt TYPE SPELL.
CALL FUNCTION 'SPELL_AMOUNT'
EXPORTING
AMOUNT = 100
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
IN_WORDS = it_amt
EXCEPTIONS
NOT_FOUND = 1
TOO_LARGE = 2
OTHERS = 3.
          o
                +
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE 'A' NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
write wa_amt-WORD.
But I think this code is meant for a smartform->program lines. I want to convert the variable "REGUD-SNETT" from a number to a string of words.
On a side note, how to do I set a break-point in my SAPscript so it enters debug mode after I post the check document in transaction code f-58?

                    ------------------ Amount in words -------------------------------------
/                      &'*** 'SPELL-WORD& &REGUD-WAERS&&' and 'SPELL-DECIMAL(2)'/100 '&***
/*                     Example for amount and decimal places in words
/*                     &'*** 'SPELL-WORD& &REGUD-WAERS&&' and 'SPELL-DECWORD' Cents'& ***
/*                     Example for numbers in words
/*                     &SPELL-DIG06(6)&&SPELL-DIG05(6)&&SPELL-DIG04(6)&&SPELL-DIG03(6)&&SPELL-D
If you want to see the details Open F110_PRENUM_CHCK Script and check the window code for Amount in words (Description of window)

IDCS3 TOC want chapter numbers in book TOC

Hi - I'm brand new to this forum so please bear with me . . .
I'm working on a long manual. Each chapter has a TOC, which I've been able to format the way I want it (e.g., Overview . . . . 5-2).
In the TOC for the book, I can't figure out how to include the chapter number. I've read everything I can find about the subject but after spending hours I'm giving up. I've checked the Include Prefix when Number Pages check box for each chapter.
I've tried lots of things in the Between Entry and Number menu. There's no character symbol for chapter number and I've tried copying and pasting it in. That hasn't worked either.
I'm almost ready to resort to copying and pasting in the TOC from each chapter - there are 17. Yikes!
All advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sonya (fed up ID CS3 user in VA)

Can I corrupt something during an import with a wrong RECORDLENGTH ?

Hello everybody
My question is generic, not for a particular Oracle version (so no datapump alternative).
I have read numerous sources (this forum, metalink, asktom, books, etc) but i still don't understand the role and difference between BUFFER and RECORDLENGTH during an import.
Can somebody explain in simple terms the internals of these parameters ?
Does is make a sense to use both parameters ?
And my main concern is : what if i use a "wrong" value for RECORDLENGTH ? Can I corrupt something ? Can the import fail ?
It certainly has an importance, as the doc says "The RECORDLENGTH parameter is necessary when you must transfer the export file to another operating system that uses a different default value."
Thanks in advance !

Sorry for insisting, but copy/paste does not help me. I have already read tons of doc before posting here. But still no light !
It would be great if somebody could explain the difference between BUFFER and RECORDLENGTH with his own words, and answer my main questions :
1) Does is make sense to use both parameters during an import ?In my many years of working with Oracle, I have yet to use either parameter, let alone both. What is your special situation that requires you to define these parameters ?
2) what if i use a "wrong" value for RECORDLENGTH ? Can I corrupt something ? Can the import fail ? And why ?Do you have a test database ? If so, why don't you try various values for RECORDLENGTH and post your findings here ?
