I have an reference index that I need to lay out. We currently have everything laid out manually, and it doesn’t contain page numbers. Using the index option InDesign may have been useful if we just had the raw data/text, but I believe it would take more time to reflow using that than just updating what we have now.
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a GREP, script, or setting that adds “- continued” to a list that continues on the next column. I actually don’t even want bullets or numbers, but I can set InDesign to have ‘blank’ bullets. I figured that InDesign can reference the list and help automating the “- continued” easier over just regular copy w/ no list.
For example:
This is the header to the list
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Text 4
–column break–
This is the header to the list – continued
Text 6
Text 7
Text 8
Text 9
Even more complicated, but is automating something like this possible as well? If the first list is possible, I would presume that below is possible as well:
This is the header to the list
Text 1
Text 2
Text 1a
Text 2a
Text 3a
Text 4a
–column break–
This is the header to the list – continued
Text 2 – continued
Text 4a
Text 5a
Text 6a
Text 7a
Let me know if I need to clarify….thanks!
