MemberThanks David. That is what I was afraid of. But I thought I give it a try.
My client did already link to these places with hyperlinks and not with cross-references. ;-(MemberHi Lara,
you're right, this sentence doesn't make any sense.
Before you export your document to epub use Marijans script to convert variables to text: https://tomaxxi.com/downloads/This will help.

MemberHi Rob,
together with Marijan Tompa – a very smart scripter from Serbia – I developed a script, which converts an InDesign index to an ePub-Hyperlink-based index. So exactly what you need. By the way; his script maintains all the formatting you chose while generating the print-version index. Mail him at tomaxxi@gmail.com and let him know that I recommended him ;-).
MemberHi Rebecca,
thanks for this good instruction.
I use the drag and drop method the most. But if the last character is a period or a comma and 'border/paragraph adjustment' (I don't know the english ID term) is on it is nearly impossible to put the drag and drop anchor cursor at the right place ;-).

MemberHi Rebecca,
you're right I switched to your message as well. So I anchor the text frame which contains the page number. But don't anchor it before the last word you have to anchor it behind the last word (and before the last space ;-). If not you 'loose' a word respectively the last word gets a different page number.
And there's another tip. You can anchor a text frame with a variable, then cut the anchor marker to the clipboard, now you can place your cursour at any point and insert the anchored text frame.
And yet another tip. Avoid hyphenation over text or page breaks – so your page number will be 100% correct. You will find this settings under the paragraph menue

MemberIt works perfect – thanks again.

MemberThanks Marijan,
I'll test it tomorrow. I'm glad you helped me. It's an important piece in things of creating page numbers within epubs (by using a text variable pointing to an automatic generated page number by a paragraph stile and anchor it after the last character of a textframe before splitting the story and replacing all the special characters – see my post: https://creativepro.com/for…..n-an-epub).

MemberI spent maybe 3 hours to solve this problem. But I failed. I hope this is not a bug and someone has the answer.

June 20, 2011 at 5:42 am in reply to: Convert automatic numbering to text // Selecting text in separated stories #59896Memberyeah! thanks you're great – as always ;-).
Jeldrik
MemberJep, this is the way I'll do in the future ;-).
If I would to it now, it would lead to 'uncontrolled' word jumping.
All in all this “splitting the story” is part of a larger workaround to include the exact same page numbers from the printversion into an epub. It's for academic use (citation and referencing).
MemberSorry for answering this late. I was on a trip for 2 weeks.
A client of mine had this problem. Here is how she found the reason. She limited the Word doc so she could exactly determine which chapter causes the problem. Then she took a closer look at the index entries. She found a double entry with wrong index markers. This caused in InDesign these crazy characters (which you can find in the index panel). I uploaded a screenshot for you: https://www.synp.net/fileadmin/…..intrag.jpg
Hope this will help. Better late as never (do you say this phrase like this ;-?
Greetings

May 18, 2011 at 2:44 am in reply to: Hanging indents within paragraph (not indent here character) #59631MemberIf you want to get real bullet points – these are list items – then you can’t get them all in one paragraph. If you want to use “space before” then you have to build two paragraph styles: one for the first entry, one for the rest (with no space before).
In this case I would use the bullet list feature of InDesign as Tim suggested.
By doing this you’re able to convert your content to epub as well.
Jeldrik
MemberSorry. Think and look first – then post!
It was obviously that in the index panel were “#?” entries. Don’t ask me why I missed this.
JeldrikMemberI’m currently not sitting at my machine. But, does this behavior occur even if you open the linked image via InDesign (edit original, within the link panel)?
Jeldrik
MemberHello Susan,
can you send me the word document (or part of it). I’m really curios – because I really want to know as much as possible about indexing in InDesign and Word. And that sounds wired.
In case I might find the issue – I’ll let you know.
