Word endnotes renumbering in CS4 problem

I'm using Indesign CS4, and importing a Word file which has Endnotes set to restart numbering at end of each section. But when I import the numbering does not restart. So, rather than having Chapter 1, notes 1-10; Chapter 2, notes 1-5, etc. The notes are numbering 1 through 126.
I've searched online for a couple hours and can't find a fix. I've resaved the Word file as a .docx. I've exported the Indesign file as an .inx and then tried reimporting.
I'm a book typesetter and I don't usually have this problem. Any ideas?

InDesign does not support endnotes (and by extension, endnote renumbering). It imports endnotes as plain text.
That said, it seems to me it's an error that ID does not take the original numbering into account, even though it is converted to text later on. I think your best bet is on converting the endnotes to plain text in the original Word document.
Alternatively, you could convert the "notes" to 'semi-endnotes', using cross references. Bob Bringhurst explains it all in his blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html -- nearing the bottom he points out a script to automate part of it.
[Post-Edit thought] That assumes, by the way, you can restart the cross reference numbering at will. I haven't checked these out enough to tell top-of-head.

Section endnotes renumbering

I am having trouble with endnote numbers in Pages (v2.0.1). I have a large document with several sections (chapters) each with its own set of endnotes. What I would like to have is each chapter range from 1–n, then restart at 1 for the next chapter/section. I can set the notes to "Use Document Endnotes" in the "Document" section of the inspector, and change "Numbering" to "Restarts for Each Section." Pages takes a moment and dutifully changes — stays that way a moment, then changes back! You can recreate this problem by opening a new document, put in text and footnote or two, put in section breaks, change to endnotes and numbering to “by section,” and the renumbering doesn’t “stick.” Any ideas or workarounds?
(I won’t even get into the inability to have a note that is greater to than a page is disconcerting, or that changes in the endnotes take a full 30 seconds to register. I’ll leave these for hopes for the upgrade.)

Opening Word docs in InDesign CS4 (Mac)

Hello everyone.
This is my first time asking for help from this forum.
I have just upgraded to CS4 from CS2 (Mac) and I have been having numerous issues with Word and InDesign. When I try downloading a fairly complicated Word file into InDesign CS4 it crashes. But, if I open it in InDesign CS2, it opens fine. I then take the ID CS2 file and reopen it in InDesign CS4 and it works. Though this maybe a good workaround, it isn't something I can be doing all the time, its way too time consuming. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Or, what I can do about it?
As a note: I have also just upgraded my systems to Mac Pros and iMacs with Leopard on it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I am placing the file.
I'll try posting this to the ID forum.
Thanks for the quick response.

Opening Word docs in InDesign CS4 (Mac). It keeps crashing.

Thanks for the info. I have had this file opened in lower versions of CS with no issues. It seems like every few files this is happening to. All my current systems have two gigs of Ram.
I was suspecting (dreading) that it may be a font conflict. I know the system fonts (dfonts) have been somewhat an issue in previous versions of CS, but I never had crashes to InDesign before because of font conflicts. I will try sorting through my fonts and breaking-up the file.
Thanks again for your guys help. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

Hi Everyone,
I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2. Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning. Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it??? However I do that all the time. I have never had this happen before. I am on a 2010 machine. I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice. I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine. I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
Thank you,
sb

Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor? Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

CS4 Problems on new iMac

1. I installed CS4 on my new iMac running Mavericks. I ran the updater but the updater can't update itself ("couldn't access disc image") so now I can't update any of the CS4 components. Help!
2. My RAW files (imported from my previous Mac using Time Machine) all appear as unconverted DNG files. I'd like to avoid spending hours converting them all again. Is this a CS4 problem or maybe a Mac problem? Should I restore my photo library from Time Machine again, now that I've installed CS4? Any ideas on solving these problems would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

CS4 is unsupported under Mavericks. Someone who has successfully done this
may be able to help, but unfortunately you're pretty much on your own here.

Problems importing Word Doc footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver CS4

I am having a problem importing a Word doc with footnotes/endnotes into Dreamweaver. When I do the import (or a copy and paste) I get the references without the actual number for the endnotes in superscript!
I currently have Dreamweaver CS4 (though have also experienced this issue with Dreamweaver 8)
I am currently using Word 2007 (but experienced this same problem with earlier versions of Word).
The document has a standard sort of endnote. In the middle of the text there is a number in superscript that refers to a note at the end. When I do an import I get the nice set of back and forth references with anchors and links but missing the number! Let me copy and paste an example:
Here is the text I have:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,[i] with the UK
[i] DFID (2010) DFID in 2009-10.
Now here is the HTML I get when I import:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"> </a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1">
<p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"> </a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div>
<div id="edn2">
What I really need is:
the largest multilateral recipient of UK aid,<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="" id="_ednref1"><sup>1</sup></a> with the UK
And as an endnote:
<div id="edn1"><p><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1" title="" id="_edn1"><sup>1</sup></a> DFID (2010) <em>DFID in 2009-10</em>.</p>
</div> <div id="edn2">
Does anyone know why these superscript numbers are missing? And how I can get Dreamweaver to put them in. I have long documents with 50 or more footnotes and would hate to have to redo this by hand!

The problem is that some of the material in the endnote/footnote is explanatory in nature rather than just a reference or citation. So I need a way to include explanatory text and don't want to put multiple sentences in ( ) in the middle of the text.
I would have to say clearly someone at Adobe did think conversion of endnotes/footnotes is a worthwhile endeavour, because Dreamweaver is designed to do it! You can see clearly from the code snippet that they programmed Dreamweaver to do an import with a very nice set of back and forth anchor references. Just somehow the actual reference numbers don't show up. In fact the HTML code for this provided by Dreamweaver is very clean and nice (contradicting bemdesign's assertion that you can not turn a word doc into a good HTML doc), with the exception of the missing number references!
Is there a setting somewhere that I might need to play with to get this to work better?? Or something I need to do with the Word doc text before I do an import? Any other work around.

Importing Word Docs(2007) into InDesign CS4 problem

Well, I am creating a users guide in CS4 InDesgin, and I have a Word 2007 doc with tables in it, about 6 pages total, when I try to import that file, the whole InDesign freezes up and does not respond. When I have imported docs before, I had no issue? Is there something I am not doing? or is there a bug that I don't know about?
Thanks
Brian Watson
[email protected]

Well, I just accidently figured it out.. in Word 2007, if you save it as .docx is when I have the issue of InDesign freezing up and having to shut it down and restart InDesign. However, if I saved Word file as 97-2003 file .doc then no problem importing.. Thanks anyhow.. I hope this helps other folks..

Creating a PDF from Word, endnote links jump to wrong page

I have a Word file with a large number of endnotes. In Acrobat 9.5.5 the endnote links jumped to the correct page. In Acrobat XI, which I just upgraded to, all endnotes jump to the wrong page. Somehow when converting the Word to PDF the calculation of what page to jump to is calculated incorrectly. Is this a known problem? I see other discussions on problems with endnotes but they are for different problems. How can I resolve this. I don't want to have to revert to Acrobat 9, but it worked.

Well I tried that. I set the printer driver to Adobe PDF. I then selected all text and hit F9 to refresh all links and saved the file and then went to the Acrobat tab to create the PDF version. Using the application and importing the file to create a PDF causes the same result. I can now see a pattern of what is happening. This has a large number of endnotes, 525. There are probably 30+ endnotes links per page. I noticed that all the endnotes links for the first page that has the links all point to the second page of endnotes in the endnote section (strange that it starts with the second page and not the first), then all the endnote links of the next page point to the third page of endnotes and it continues that way until the end.
Another way to describe this is that the first page of endnote links should point to endnote pages 1 through 4 but they all point to page 2.
I checked and all the links in the Work doc are linking correctly.
I wonder if version XI has been rewritten since version 9 and my case is too extreme for this version and it chokes. I'm trying to rebuild part of the file from scratch and see if the problem goes away since there is a lot of history to this file and it started at least at Word 2007. I'm using Word 2013 now and have converted the format to the 2013 level.
I've sent in a bug report but have not heard anything and talked to customer service over chat but they don't seem to care enough to pass this to development even though it's easily reproducible.
Thanks for your help.

How to import Word endnotes into InDesign CC 2014?

I have a 24-chapter book, written as one document in Word (Mac 2008), with 206 Endnotes that appear at the end of the document. When I break the book down by its chapters for layout in InDesign CC 2014, the Endnotes appear at the end of each chapter, not at the end of the book.
How can I place the Endnotes at the book's end while maintaining the text links and numbering system?

Hi,
Unless I'm mistaken, ... and because I use 2 scripts [1 then 2] of very clever and prolific Peter Kahrel, I work with only one story! All the endnotes appear at the end of the book and they are always dynamic: if I add or delete one (call + text), they automatically renumber! Cool!

CS5 missing Word endnotes

In CS5 when importing Word files, the endnote indicators are present but the endnotes are missing. Never had this problem in previous versions. Nothing in discussions?

I’ve tried every which way I could to include the _wordsub.llb without success. If I copy the individual vi's to the folder that holds my application, it does no good. They still go missing when I build the application. I can't copy the _wordsub.llb into my library because both are llb. If I copy the individual vi's that are located within _wordsub.llb the ones is question still go missing upon the build.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong in the beginning that is carrying over to the build.
As an example, I have one application in library form that has about 100 vi’s included. It is saved as a library. If I make one change and save with a new name as a new library it loses the previous mentioned word sub vi’s (not all, just about 5-6 specific ones). I open the library manager and find the missing sub vi;s in the “_wordsub.llb” and copy them from the vi.lib\addons\_office location into my library application. From there everything works until I try to build an application from the new named application, I re-lose all the previous word sub vi’s again.
I have tried various combinations of save with options, but no matter how well it works as my library application, as soon as I build the application I lose the subvi’s. Maybe I am doing a fundamental error when I start with my llb that I am trying to build as an application.
Thanks
Jim

Photoshop/Bridge CS4 problem with AFP shares

Hello,
I have recently purchased Photoshop CS4 and encountered the following problem: when opening images from a NAS share connected via AFP using File/Open command, Photoshop will correctly display the list of files but Open command in the File open dialog remains disabled after a file is selected from the list.However, I can open the same file by dragging and dropping it from the Finder to the Photoshop Dock icon or later using the Open recent menu command.
Similar problem is visible in Bridge: it will not display the image thumbnails from any of the subfolders in the network share.
I am using Leopard with the latest updates, I have a read/write permissions to the network share and Photoshop/Bridge are the only applications that have problems browsing/opening files from the network share. The NAS unit is a Synology DS-107+ with the latest official firmware.
Futhermore, I have noticed that I can work around the problem by opening the same directory in Finder. After the image thumbnails are visible in Finder, both Photoshop and Bridge will correctly open all files in that directory but opening files from other directories still has the problem.
Does anyone have any idea on what might be causing this strange problem?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

CS4 Problem getting text from Illustrator over to Photoshop.

What a mess and why is this so difficult. I finally figured out how to create my text on a curve and leave the letters going straight up and down. So I am trying to paste or drag and drop over to my bottle in Photoshop but what happens is that the text is in a clear area But then it creates a white box around that so I can't see my bottle. I have a lot of bottles I need to change the names on and no time to reshoot and knock them all out. Help please!!! I am going to try and attach images again but when I tried in the Illustrator forum... the load button was greyed out.
Now on top of it, I am trying to create an image to attach... and it's doing even more crazy stuff. I created an image with the full bottle on L and what is supposed to be the full bottle on the R = only instead for some reason.... my text is coming over from Illustrator with an additional white box blocking most my bottle... then on top of it.... I tried to just type in what was going on and then if I rasterize the text OR I just try to save.... it created a new black box blocking the bottom 1/2... now what do I do??? This is really a mess!!!!

OK. The bottle on the L is what the bottle is supposed to look like.... minus the black box on the bottom. The L bottle is placed there in photoshop just to show what it is supposed to look like. Then the other layer had the bottle on the R or what is supposed to be the full bottle that I am trying to get my Eyelash Recovery text onto that one on that layer.
The bottle on the R is the problem. The white box is the entire area around the small area of the bottle being shown. Yes, trying to bring just the text Eyelash Recovery over from Illustrator = it created the white box all by itself. (Create Outlines did not help at all)
Note. I created the words Eyelash Recovery in text on a circle in Illustrator and then tried to drag and drop AND I tried to copy/paste into Illustrato = both ways. Both failed and created everything that is white around the R bottle that only shows the small area of the bottle. Anything around the small window of the bottle = which is actually a transparent area around the text Eyelash Recovery that allows the bottle on the L to show thru. So it came over as a small area of transparent window with the text in it (not centered as you can see) AND a white box around that window that I could not get rid of.
But then, for some reason, it then also wanted to created the black blox on bottom out of the clear blue = where that came from I do not know.
So I created the text Eyelash Recovery in Illustrator on the oval and placed it in position on the oval using the text on path tool. I then used the type > skew to get the text to bet straight up and down instead of curving into the oval. Then I tried 2 ways. 1 was to copy/paste into Photoshop on top of the bottle and the other was to drag and drop. It wanted to place it as pixels. So I allowed it to paste as pixels. And I allowed it to apply. In the layers palette however, it showed as a vector smart object = ???
Then I tried to rasterize that layer which now said it wanted to rasterize the smart object (which I did not 1. place OR 2. drag and drop as a smart object).
For some reason, instead of only coming over as the Eyelash Recovery text, it came over with just a small transparent window (which you can see on the L side above AND it created the rest as a white box around that that obliterated the rest of the image. Yes, I could move the Eyelash Recovery text and the transparent window around to show diff. parts of the bottle but only this amount as seen above. But I could not get rid of the white around the transparent window to see the bottle below in full and to place my Eyelash Recovery text.
Then on top of it... for some reason, when I rasterized that layer, it created the black box you see on the bottom of the image above and there was no way to get rid of either the white area OR the black box area at bottom
A mess?? Yes.

PS CS4 problems with OpenGL drawing enabled

I've just upgraded from PS CS3 to PS CS4 (default 32 and 64 versions) and I'm having problems with seeing image files above a certain size (even moderate size) with OpenGL Drawing enabled. Disabling OpenGL Drawing results in very slow image display (very easy to see the blocks being drawn one at a time), much slower than with PS CS3.
I'm running Vista 64 with latest updates. I'm trying to get PS CS4 32 running properly first, but PS CS4 64 seems to be having similar problems.
GeForce 9600 GT video card with latest driver 178.24 (updated yesterday and rebooted many times since then). That card is in Adobe's list of tested cards.
Main monitor (where I display Photoshop images) selected as primary in the driver dialog.
I put palettes/panes on my 2nd monitor.
I use Ultramon for 2nd monitor taskbar functionality. Turning Ultramon off doesn't seem to help, although I may need to disable Ultramon from launching on reboot.
No plugins installed yet in PS CS4 (32), as per Adobe kb advice.
4GB of RAM with Memory Usage set within Photoshop's Ideal Range.
For testing, I've been opening a few different size (px and bytes) RGB image files in Photoshop by dragging them from an Explorer window into the Photoshop window, then clickin in the Photoshop window to make Photoshop active and show its palettes.
First with OpenGL Drawing enabled in Performance, default Advanced Settings.
JPEG, 3600 x 2600 px, 4.5MB
- opens and displays ok (short delay before palettes appear)
- zooms and rotates smoothly
TIFF, 2 layers, 800 x 600 px, 16 bits, 2.5MB
- opens and displays ok (short delay before palettes appear)
- zooms and rotates smoothly
TIFF, 1 layer, 3600 x 2600 px, 16 bits, 54MB
- doesn't open properly, shows checkerboard instead of image, with checkerboard in navigator and layer icon in layers pane
- histogram is fine
- zooming and rotation are not smooth (jumps to new position/size)
- duplicate layer caused PS CS4 to stop working, with a close program dialog
- open PS CS4 32 again, no OpenGL message today, and OpenGL Drawing is still enabled (although I got the OpenGL Drawing message more than once yesterday)
TIFF, several layers, 3600 x 2600 px, 16 bits, 306 MB
- doesn't open properly, shows checkerboard instead of main image
- icons in layers pane look fine, same as navigator image
- checkerboard zooms and rotates smoothly
- duplicate layer is still checkerboard, back one history state stopped working / close program dialog
- started PS again, opened 1 layer TIFF, closed and tried to open multi layer TIFF again, but stopped working / close program dialog again
I then tried the same images with OpenGL Drawing disabled in Performance.
3600 x 2600 px JPEG
- ok, but slow, blocky redraw
2 layer 800 x 600 px TIFF
- ok, but slight delay in redraw (smallest of all the files, both in px and bytes)
1 layer 3600 x 2600 px TIFF
- opened ok, but slow, blocky redraw
multi layer 3600 x 2600 px TIFF
- opened ok, but slow, blocky redraw
From what I've read in various Adobe kb notes, it sounds like there's some kind of conflict with my video driver, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I even tried the registry plugin from the Adobe kb to disallow OpenGL Windows, but that didn't seem to make any difference. It didn't even stop me being able to select and use OpenGL Drawing in PS CS4.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out here and I'm feeling a bit like I've blown my money on the upgrade so far.

I had another look at PS CS4 64 and those smaller (by file size) images that I can see with OpenGL Drawing on rotate and resize in a jumpy way, not smoothly like in PS CS4 32.
The multi layer TIFF that showed the images in at least the layers pane and navigator when using PS CS4 32 only shows the checkerboard in the layers pane and navigator in PS CS4 64.
Either way, neither version is anywhere near working properly.
Oh yeah, and I made a typo on the RAM. It's 6GB and not 4GB, not that I think that would make any difference.
