Using custom numbered lists

I want to create section headings that looks like this:
1.0 PROJECT SCOPE
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Work By Others
By default Pages starts numbered lists like:
1. PROJECT SCOPE
How do I get pages to formatt numbered lists like I want above? This style of formatting is quite typical when creating work scopes for engineering purposes, at least where I come from.
Thanks!

(1) I'm an end user like you so, I can't change the application's design.
If you think that useful feature is missing, use the dedicated channel :
Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu , describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait at least for iWork'11 or 12 ;-)
(2) No, I don't offer such tutorials.
I'm a retired potter and don't wish to be linked to such a task.
I write here when I want, assuming that I may help this or that user.
An other helper, peterBreis offers such a service but, as it's not the way I behave, I never took time to write his site's link somewhere.
(3) Pages is a tool for the rest of us, not a tool dedicated to users with professional requirements.

Custom Numbered List Sequence (example: F, G, H, J, K)

Hey all,
Is it possible to create a custom numbering sequence for a numbered list in InDesign?
For example, rather than have my list go: F, G, H, I, J, K, we'd like to skip the I at every iteration and go straight to J.
The reason for this is I work for a testing company, and our answer sheets don't have the letter I on them.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes. Really simple:

Custom numbered list

My Pages '09 only has Roman and Arabic. How do I implement numbered list in Devanagari?

I think you would have to create such a list manually.
You can ask Apple to add the feature you want via

Creating Custom Bullets & Lists in Pages 5.0

I cannot figure out how to create a custom numbered list in Pages 5.0. I had custom LISTS on my 4.3 Docs that did not migrate to 5.0. How do I create duplicate LIST STYLE in 5.0?
Thank you for your help.

On the format menu on the right side, there is the font section, alignment section, spacing section, and bullets & lists section. Next to the bullets & lists section is a drop-down menu of preset lists. At the top-right of this menu is a plus sign. Clicking on this will allow you to create a new list in that menu and title it. From there, you will have to manually create your custom list change the type of bullets (numbers, roman numerals, letters, etc.) -- you might need to click on the disclosure triangle to the left of the bullets & lists title to see this part. When you finish with your custom list, there will be an asterik next to the title of the list, and if you click on that title, the drop-down menu will open up again and you can hit "Update" next to your list name. This should save the style for that custom list. Here is the most important part: When you have finished making this list, make sure you save the document as a template and select that template if you ever want to use that list. I have found that a custom list in a document (saved or deleted) that is not made into a template does not carry over into other documents. Setting up this custom list may take a while, but hopefully it will work and make things easier. I hope this makes sense, and let me know if you cannot understand something. Hopefully this picture will help too.

How do i edit numbered lists?

I often use the numbered list option from the toolbar when composing an email. How do I
1. edit size and font of numbers inserted when using this function?
2. create a line spacing between numbered items?
Thank you

margins refer to the outside of the box/element.
padding refers to the area inside of the element.

Do I use a number list or another method?

Hello, I am very new to Indesign. I am working on a book project that is basically a two column layout. Every paragraph in the columns has a number prefixing it. To better understand what I mean, every paragraph is a verse and is numbered the same way the Bible has verses numbered in chapters.
Example:
1. Some sort of text would go here
and the words should also be
indented away from the number
and not flow beneath like you
you see here.
2. Then there would be more verses
that would appear in the same
manner all the way to the bottom
of the column.
So I have watched many videos and still cannot figure out what is the best method for this type of layout. Do I simply use a numbered list or is there a better way? I appreciate any advice.
Thank you,
Aaron.

If the text you are placing/writing is conducive to a numbered paragraph scheme, I would use it.

Change starting number for Numbered List.

I am breaking up a list into 4 columns and I want them numbered. When you use the Numbered List it automatically starts at 1. I want it to start with the number I left off with in the text box next to it. How do you change the starting number for a Numbered List?

Ok, this is how you do it (just figured it out myself!)
If you click in the text box and do command A to select all, it will select all of the text BUT not the numbers. If you want to change the size of the numbers, you have to click on the number in the text box (the entire line will highlight) and use command-+ and command-minus to increase/decrease the size (or choose from the character palette. This WILL change the size of everything in the text box, but then you can go back to a simple command-a to change the text to the size you want.

Is it possible to create a numbered list with text label?

I'm using Pages 5.0 on Mac OS X Mavericks.
I'm writing a document that consists of tables and figures, which I'd like to number. For both objects I use a numbered list, which I prepend to the caption for easy reference. Ideally I'd like to have two lists (one for each type) with a label which contains both a text and a number, the tabels would look like this:
For tables: "TABLE <number>:"
For figures: "FIGURE <number>:"
While it's not hard to create lists with either a text or a number label, I can't figure out how to combine the two.
So my question: is what I'm trying to do possible and if yes, how do I achieve the desired effect?

What you are asking for has never been a feature in Pages. I don't think that is an added feature in Pages 5.0 either.

My numbered listing is appearing as bullets

Could someone please help me out. when I generate a Webhelp in RH 8 my numbered listing is appearing as bullet points. How can I correct this?

How are you creating the numbered list, through your own styles or using the numbered list icon?
If using your own styles, try the icon in one topic.

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

We have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed using the "Alert Me" feature. We have renamed the
custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list "alert me"
function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what we did was use a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When we ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method get the email without the customizations that were done in teh custom alert template. All users who manually subscribed on their
own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Is it advisable to use the charcter "&" in customer numbers and in business

Is it advisable to use the charcter "&" in customer numbers and in business partner naming?
Are there any restrictions in using wild characters for customer numbers. KNA1-KUNNR field.

Dear Chandramouli,
In the name you can use but in the no. not advisable I believe. When you are defining the no range, it is as following:
Intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between platforms (Code page):
Allowed: 000001 to 999999
AAAAAA to ZZZZZZ
Not allowed: AAAAAA to 999999
Please find the SAP help on this.

Word 2007 - Using numbered list number in hyperlink

Hi,
I'm developing a document to be used in our office to detail processes. Each of the processes are numbered using a multi-level numbered list. In the appendix section I wish to include unit tests to complete for each process to prove that the functionality
works. So far no problem. In order to keep the document dynamic I wish to add a link to each of the unit tests to link back to the original process, again not a problem. But, I'd like the text of the hyperlink to reference the specific numbered list value
for the corresponding process, and have it update should the process be moved.
e.g.
2.3.4.1 This is a sample process description.
B.1.4.3 Unit test to ensure process is functional (2.3.4.1)
Can this be done or am I asking too much?
If it can't be done then are there any suggestions for achieving similar functionality using different features?
Thanks.

Ordinary cross-references should be enough.
(References tab->Captions group->Cross reference, select "Numbered item", select the paragraph you want to reference, then insert "Paragraph number"
Strictly speaking, they aren't hyperlinks, but REF fields. You should be able to ctrl-click to follow the link.
Because they are REF fields, you need to be aware of two things:
a. they don't update automatically. You have to select them and press F9 to keep them up to date.
b. each one refers to a bookmark that Word inserts to "cover" the relevant paragraph number. So you have to be a bit careful about how you create new paragraphs. Suppose you have a paragraph like this
2.3.4.1 abc
and another paragraph that references it.
If you click the the left of the "a" and press Enter, you may get two paragraphs like this
2.3.4.1
2.3.4.2 abc
You might hope that the reference will update to 2.3.4.2 but in fact it still points to the original 2.3.4.1 paragraph.

Using custom control in Infopath 2013 to populate a Custom List in Sharepoint

Is there any way to add custom controls, such as InkCapture, to sharepoint list forms? My specific application requires me to use a sharepoint Custom List so I developed a form in Infopath to serve as the data entry point. Unfortunately there is no option
to add or use custom controls when editing my form in Infopath.
When I create a Form Library all my custom controls are available to use.
Any ideas?
Much Appreciated!

Hi,
InfoPath is only a forms editing tool and does not provide for grid editing or other expected features like adding any custom control, you can design a template
part to reuse in multiple form template here you can create your own custom control by using existing control in InfoPath and you have facility to write code to implement any business logic that’s called template part and you can add this template part in
your any InfoPath form over and over. Here is the link for creating the custom template part in InfoPath.

Here is the list of features that you can use in List form, InfoPath form and using SharePoint designer you can choose as per your nee.
