"across all" + autonumbering

Not sure whether I've forgotten how to do this, or in fact never done it before :-}

Page after page of reference information … styles with autonumbering for the blue labels, style with "across all columns and sideheads" for the bold black numbering.

Either of these by itself works like a charm, as shown over 'spacious' – but I'm wondering whether I can make the two styles work together and deliver something like the example over 'compact'.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Correct answer FieryPantone

Dagnammit – of course I'd solved this problem before! the range in the left margin needs to use side head (first baseline), and then the labelled lists are just in-column.

I wish I could say I'd sat down and worked this out, but it was one of those not-quite-aha! moments that came to me on the train this morning …

Could you post a screenshot with Text Symbols turned on?

Also, are you doing this as a three-column layout (using master pages)?

Hi FieryPantone:

I am still trying to understand the question—sorry, it's early here. A screen shot of the page width with text symbols and borders would do it. AAC would indicate a multi-column layout, but I just see one. Are you showing us the first column of a two-column layout?

I've never done anything like that, but maybe Run-In Heading is what you want?

Are these generated pages, or just normal Flow A?

What's the target workflow? PDF, paper, web, multiple?

In own chapter of book, or in-flow in a large doc? AMP (Apply Master Pages) might be needed if page layout within file has to change for just these pages.

Not clear what the benefit of AAC would be.
