George GrenleyNick! Thanks, I will check that. I have seen Indd apply char styles seemingly at random. And no-break is a style I have….
George GrenleyHow do I pst a pic? Drag and drop does not work….
David, your technique works if I put a return on the Fig 1 line. But there has to be _something_ there for the para style to hook onto, I guess. It works well enough. Thanks!
George GrenleyMaybe I mis-understood, but this is not working for me.
I have a folder, cleverly named books, that contains several book files, that is, indb files. There is another folder called proceduresplus that has all the indd file in the books. It got moved, so now the indb files cannot see their indd files.
Is there a way to re-connect them other that manually, one at a time? I have several books, each with 20-30 chapters, so I’d prefer a manual method.
George GrenleyIf it is only 40-some pages, create a series of linked text frames, from the back to the front. Create a numbered list paragraph style, and make the style in the linked frames this style. Then put in 40-odd carriage returns or something similar. It should number 1 to whatever in the order the boxes are linked. I think.
George GrenleyGraham Park you are right that it could be a bit tricky. Personally I like grep but not everyone does. When I’ve used “hidden” text I do it with a special char stye, so I can make it visible easily.
In the past, I have, only once in a while, had InDesign produce a badly blown-up corrupted PDF. When I went through the InDesign file(s) I would find stuff on the artboards but not on the page. Removing them made InDesign behave. Yes, it “shouldn’t” matter, and because I don’t do it I have not see it happen recently. But several years ago I had a colleague who kept tripping over this, umm, ‘feature’. I dunno, maybe Adobe has fixed it, and I am not saying it always happens, but if the PDF is not right, clean your artboards…..
George GrenleySo, if I understand the problem, you have:
SUB HEADING ONE
DAY 1 The Content for day 1 here Book reference here #
DAY 2 The Content for day 2 here Book reference here #
DAY 3 The Content for day 3 here Book reference here #
SUB HEADING TWO
DAY 4 The Content for day 4 here Book reference here #
DAY 5 The Content for day 5 here Book reference here #
DAY 6 The Content for day 6 here Book reference here #
Where the actual text on the referred-to page is The content for day X, and then you want the page number to appear?
One dirty trick might be to put the text you want to appear in the TOC also on the page you are referring to, but in white (or whatever is invisible). Formatting and alignment would be a bit tricky, but I’ve used similar techniques to have something to refer to that is not actually visible.
