MemberI did think of this, my problem with it is the packaging of the files. When we give the files to the client there will be 2 versions, one accessible working file and one that is not. To save on room and upload times we usually have one links folder which would be a problem if the outlined files are the same name. The 2 scripts mentioned by David look promising, neither are able to relink to an altered name.
March 30, 2021 at 8:35 am in reply to: Is there a way to make footnote numbering have 2 different types of numbers? #14338019MemberUsing these scripts will make the footnotes not footnotes anymore and lose there accessibility. I would have to fix the footnotes manually for the first half of the book in Acrobat.
MemberThe title is in the right column but should span both columns. When I tell it to span both columns to moves to the next page. Keep options are set to anywhere so it should not jump to the next page.
January 15, 2019 at 12:29 pm in reply to: Table of contents refuses to bring in certain headings #113624MemberTried that… tried deleting the page and adding it back, tried using a different style, tried export to idml file… the problem stems from the text being in a table that spans pages. Why this is happening I have no idea. I tried remaking the table and that didn’t work either. The only thing that works is to duplicate the table (split table up) and have it not span pages. The weird thing is it doesn’t always do it. I never would have put the titles in the table but I didn’t make the document.
MemberActually, it didn’t work… I’ll have to try your solution
MemberFigure it out… really stupid but works. The trick is to reapply the style to the title. For some reason if though it’s applying the right style, when you select the text it lists no style. Reapplying the style fixes the problem.
MemberWe are using 2017 version, latest. I tried the 2018 version which didn’t make a difference. I thought maybe the file was damaged and exported to an IDML file, no difference. It positive this worked before so I’m not sure why it’s doing it. It appears to be a spanning problem, I have found no fix for it other than doing the footnotes manually or not using spans.
MemberIndesign knows that your heading is a list even if you tell it to be a heading. It’s just the way the program works. The only way around this (which is mentioned above) is the convert the heading numbers to real text starting from the back moving forward. Indesign should have a function to convert the list of headings on export.
MemberThe problem machines had a duplicate version in the font library, delete the non-system version and the problem goes away.
MemberI figured out a way which should work. I cut the spanning items into another text frame and linked them together. The first frame is the full length so the footnote goes to the bottom. I force the second paragraph to the next column. I then take the second text frame and put it on top of the first and link them together.

The file is accessible so I have to keep the figure anchored to the content.MemberI’m doing everything your suggesting but it’s still doesn’t help. I will have to make the extra master page… I wonder what would happen if I told the master page to be single pages, one for right, one for left?
MemberNope, only applying it to the one page. If I can’t figure it out I will have to make an additional master page with a section header on 1 page and a normal page on the other.
