Two different page numbers on the same page

[_macweaz_]

Hi guys, I have this problem, in my documents I have a main numbering like this <$chapnum>-<$curpagenum> and a second composing a lot of file-cards, in this file there's a double numbering, the main flow global numbering, and the local numbering <$cupagenum>/<$lastpagenum>.

I don't know how differentiate this numbering, I would like in the same pages something like : 1-329, 1-330, 1-331 and 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4.
thank you!

Hm - I would have expected, from your description, something like 329/1, 329/2 as the second-level numbering; otherwise, there's no relation between the file-cards and their parent page. But that wasn't your question :-}

Could you post a longer description? I don't quite follow the relationship between file-cards and pages; for instance, do you need to have more than one page that uses the file-card numbering.

Ok thank you, I try. I have a techincal manual of 400 pages,
at the end I have a Appendix with 100 technical file-cards,
so the numbering is: from page 1 to 400 for the entire manual,
from 300 to 400 for the file-cards.

Every file-card is composed by about 10 pages
and have its own numbering, each page is numbered
like (1 of 10, 2 of 10 , CurrentPageOfThisCard of TotalPageOfThisCard)
and this numbering is in a little text frame on the page.

The first file-card is inserted after the page 299,
the second file-card start at page 310, the third at 320, etc..
So, for example, looking the second file-card, the first page of the card
Is at page 310 of the manual, the second page at 311 and so on.

The relation is only the position of the file-card in the manual.
I need to autonumber these two levels of pages.

I don't think it's a big deal.<br /><br />For the high level book page numbers, just use the regular FM page numbering tools.<br /><br />For the FileCard page numbering, because you're already separating it in its own text frame, just create a unique paragraph tag for it with its own numbering stream. You'll need to use two tags, one for the first page in each set to reset the stream, and a second one to increment. Se the Autonumber field to something like <br /> F:<n=1> of 10 <br />for the first page/tag and <br /> F:<n+1> of 10<br />for the following pages <br /><br />Note that the total PageOf number is typed in manually... without a Framescript, I don't think you can generate that automatically.<br /><br />Art

thank you very much Art, I'm trying but I'm newbie, in the master page when I insert autoconnected text frames in the different pages and then insert my fields F:<n=1>/10 and F:<n+1>/10 in the following pages, <br />I have no result but a series of 1/10, the tip works only if I put two texframes in the same page and then I connect them.<br /><br />I have another question, if it's possible,<br />I found these topics about the problem<br />of the <$filename> extension in Framemaker..<br />http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/2007-March/006896.html<br />http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4fea9<br />Do you have the Postscript snippet yet? <br />Thank you,<br />luca
