Hello Thank you for this tutorial. When I move to chapter 2, Heading 1 has correct number but heading level 2 starts again at 1.1 instead of 2.1. Could you please advise? I have tried with both linked and unlinked boxes at it's still not working.

Sorry for the rather late reply hope you could find a solution. It's hard to tell without having the document in front of me. In my experience as well, it can be a bit tricky getting these lists to work the way you want.

Thanks for the nice video… Unfortunately for me trying to get my numbering to start on page 3 did nothing… It processed all the pages again and they all ended up the same. I don't have the numbers on the actual documents it's just the number as they are listed in the Book Panel, the Links & Pages panels. I guess I have to number these pages manually because they are all custom and I cannot figure out how to do a Facing Pages doc template for easy numbering...Still searching for that answer....

How do I achieve continuous numbering across all documents in an InDesign Book? My content is organised in chapters and each chapter is one separate document. All the documents are organised in an InDesign Book.
@ccpipe2 ай бұрын
Hi, that's a good question, I've not tried this with a book so unfortunately I'm not sure how to do it or if it's possible. You might need to change the paragraph style in each document to start from a specific number. But I'd be interested if you find a smarter way. Thanks for the question.

You never made a video to quickly import word doc text then adding charts from excel (never seen a video like this or any alternative ways better than these charts from excel but free plus importaning imags) or linkings these charts to the report which is the video everyone need to create a great report. I always see your ways vert cool and fast that is I asked you to do so. Thanks s lot in advance.
@ccpipe2 ай бұрын
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I have a video on importing from Word and also Excel but unfortunately I'm not aware of a way of importing the charts from excel. It would be amazing if it was possible. Illustrator has a chart tool, and I've also used Open Type fonts that allow you to create charts, one is called "Chartwell" but not free.

For some reason InDesign doesn't seem to let you do this, but you can open it in Acrobat and adjust it. In the menu I'm showing at around 10:30 in the video, under the appearance tab, you can change the input text colour.

Hey, what a great explanation! I am starting out with ID but I have always been very curious. So, I saw this 2 lines (Liquid and alternative) and wow here you are giving me an excellent explanation! So , my gratitude for your effort! Best from Uruguay. One doubt, how do you delete a complete layout of those you made? Geez, I rewatched it all again, and more doubts popped into my mind: So, imagine I am using photographs for guide (lets say a product guide) and I want it in different layouts but using the same kind of grids, etc, Scaling is of importance here, so, do I use the same method for scaling the photos? (Images) .... thank you for your help!
@ccpipe3 ай бұрын
Hi, super happy to hear it and thank you for taking the time to write. To delete a layout you simply delete it in the pages panel and you can certainly use it to scale photos too. But look at it as a tool in your toolbox, that you use when it seems useful. Good luck with your InDesign learning.

Hi, the video is great. I have tried to email the form but once I press the button to submit, I am not receiving the form. Any advice?

Hi and thank you 😀 If I remember correctly, what the mail button does is not automatically send an email, it is supposed to open the default mail app so it isn't very useful. It might be more effective if set up to a server, but I couldn't try it since I don't have one.
@AngelEyes_553 ай бұрын
Ok make sure you enter "mailto:" and then the email address you want it sent to . Make sure there are no spaces between words or between the colon and the email address. It works for me. Then when you click the Submit button inside Acrobat, it should prompt you to choose how you want it sent.

Ha! Literally 30 years of book design and I've never bothered with a grid. I see now that that might have been a mistake. 😁 Thank you for the great no nonsense tutorial! (One tip: "Leading" is derived from the metal "lead" [led, like Led Zeppelin], because typesetters would put strips of lead between lines of type-so it's pronounced "ledding" instead of "leeding.")

I use this linking to make technical datasheets in Indesign :). I have several scripts that update excel tables with the latest values and these tables are then linked in Indesign. I've used this tutorial to finetune this and was very happy that I didn't make huge mistakes. The only thing that I haven't been able to understand is why Indesign sometimes applies overwrites to tables that haven't been touched :/

Is there a way to get this to work in a master page template? In my case the duplicate will only work in the master template and its properties won't be transferred to a new page based on this master template (making this feature completely useless). Maybe I just forgot something?
@ccpipe6 ай бұрын
Hi, sorry for the late response, I'm not sure I'm fully understanding your problem. But I don't think this feature is meant t be used on master pages, simply because the master page already kinda does the same thing. I haven't tried it though so can unfortunately not tell you my experience with it.
