MemberLooks like you had a corrupt document.
Save the file as IDML, reopen InDesign then open this file and the problem should be solved.MemberIf the JOURNAL NAME include numbers it will cause a problem,
If so try this.NESTED STYLE
NONE Through 2 FULLSTOPS (If you are using a Number list then 1 Full stop)
ITALIC Through 1 SentenceThen GREP
APPLY STYLE Normal Character Style without the Italic
TO TEXT \S+$This will add the style to text from the end of the sentence back to the first space which is right before your numbers
MemberHow about trying a NESTED STYLE, should work if the text is constant.
NESTED STYLE
NONE Through 2 FULLSTOPS (If you are using a Number list then 1 Full stop)
ITALIC up to 1 DIgitMemberUse Number List
Start with a one page document
On your Master Page create a grid of 25 text boxes and align text as required for the number to sit where yo want them, link all the text boxes.
Create a PARAGRAPH STYLE for the numbers, set NUMBER AND BULLETS options so the number appear as you want them, then add space after like 100mm to make sure there is only one number in each box, if there are two or more add extra space after in the styleGo to page 1
Click in the first text box
Apply the PARAGRAPH STYLE you created above.
Now just add carriage returns and the numbers keep going until you have one full pages then select all the text and paste 7 times and you will have your list and correct number of pages.MemberDon’t have an elegant solution for you but this will work, it will remove the second number following the month, tab, number. But it will not remove punctuation following the second date.
There is no real rule to find the months without finding text in other places, so they need to be explicitly defined.GREP Find and replace
FIND
((January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December)\d+)(\d+)REPLACE
$1How it works is to find two groups and then only add back the first item found.
September 13, 2017 at 4:38 pm in reply to: Use document name without extension and a grep question #98071MemberThis adds some more punctuation options to the GREP
This GREP is a Positive Lookahead(?=implant[|\[||s|\:\.\,])i
For punctuation add each with a BAR separator and a leading \ otherwise they will not been seen as a character
For additional punctuation add them as followseg |\{
September 13, 2017 at 3:29 pm in reply to: Use document name without extension and a grep question #98066MemberSorry I stuffed that up.
This one will work better and will get most instances.
If you have punctuation other than comma or fullstop this will not work.
Other punctuation would have to be added after a BAR separator.(?=implant[|s|]\.|\,)i
September 13, 2017 at 8:05 am in reply to: Use document name without extension and a grep question #98045MemberSet up as a GREP in the Paragraph Style, this way as you type the formatting will be added,no chance of missing any of them.
Make a Character Stye for case ALL CAPITAL
Set the GREP
Apply Style CAPS
(?=implant)iMemberOK this is easy.
With your document open go to FILE > DOCUMENT SETUP and enter the bleed setting you want there. This will create the guides you want.
The guides will show in Red in the normal view.Got to VIEW > SCREEN MODE and you can set Normal, Bleed etc, try them and see which you like.
You can also set this in the NEW DOCUMENT dialogue box (scroll down) and you will see it.
This also sets the default bleed for exporting to PDF.MemberYes they do, place a guide on a master page that is applied to the page in the document.
Can you drag guides onto the page you are having problems with? Does this happen wiht all documents or only one?
If it is only one then it might be corrupt.
To fix that corruption save the file as an IDML file and then reopen, If this solves the problem you have a corrupt document.If you want to reset the preferences read this link you can save a copy of your shortcuts and then replace them after you reset preferences.

Before you reset the preferences read the Adobe help page.https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/setting-preferences.html

Right click on a layer in the the Layers Pallet (Window > Layers), if you only have one layer it is probably call Layer 1.If that is not the problem check in your
Preferences
go to Guides & Pasteboard tab
check in the Guide Options
is the GUIDES IN BACK checked. If it is the guides might be hiding behind elements on your page.If that does not fix it it is probably time to reset your preferences on the Mac hold Shift+Option+Command+Control and start InDesign, say yes when asked if you want to reset preferences.
MemberIn the layers option have you unchecked the SHOW GUIDE tick box?

That is basically the numbering method I was suggesting, I like Frame Breaks as it ensure you don’t end up with two page numbers on one page.But you have missed that David wants one InDesign document that numbers from the front and back and the you ‘flip’ over so it have two fronts, one in English and one in French. Hence my rather convoluted rotation of elements and spreads so when editing the document the pages are the right way up but when it is printed half the document will be upside down which is how the flip works (eg all those Aldi catalogues that have two fronts)
MemberPutting a second copy of the text hidden on the page is a lot to manage manually and prone to errors and oversights.
Also if you are doing all the work you might as well do a manual TOC.
But if you want to do this then you can make the text visible in a text box that just extends onto the page and most of the text is on the pasteboard, this way you can see the text bit it will not print with the document but is still part of the page the TOC will pick it up.Better to create the TOC from the headers on the pages and then process the result into the format required with a GREP Find/Replace.
