Re: [Framers] using variables

[Peter Gold]

I'm just working from personal memory, so this could just be wishful
thinking.

It might be possible to create the behavior by using a dedicated run-in
autonumbered paragraph format, in combination with a cross-reference, in
the table title or in a heading or footing row to emulate the current table
sheet number, and the last table sheet number.

I'm thinking that this somewhat like the technique of capturing the last
page number of the last page in a book of separate files, by using a
cross-reference to overcome the limitation of the $lastpagenum variable
only working within the current document.

I seem to recall, but I could be wrong, that table headers/footers may have
a property to not appear on the first page of the table. If so, this could
be useful.

I'm not sure if an autonumbered paragraph in a table header/footer
increments on pages after the first page.

If the entire document consists only of pages that display the table, other
auto-numbering and cross-reference strategies, and dedicated master-page
designs, may be possible.

Re: [Framers] using variables

[Scott Prentice]

Yes .. by definition, a single variable in a single file cannot have 
more than one value based on its location in the document (unless it's a 
special variable like $curpagenum). However, you could create a script 
or plugin that could process a file to create different variables or 
strings from one variable that would have differing values in different 
areas of that document.

Some of the scripters might have a different answer for you. :)

Hey Patrick,

As far as I know, there is no way to make a single variable have two
different values in the same file, and if you insert two separate variables
in a table title, they'll both show up for every page that title is
displayed on.

Some of the scripters might have a different answer for you. :)

[Framers] using variables

[Barlow, Patrick N]

I have a document that contains a table that spans 264 pages. We need to number 
each page with a sheet number. Table 1 (Sheet 1 of 264) on the first page and 
each subsequent page will just contain the sheet number. Table 1 (sheet 2) and 
so on. I'm trying to use a variable that can be inserted after the table number 
inside of the title. Variable Table Sheet  (Sheet <$tblsheetnum> of 
<$tblsheetcount>) will be the first page, second and subsequent pages will use 
(Sheet <$tblsheetnum>). Since I have to insert the variable on the title I can 
only insert it on the first page, which prevents me from using two different 
variables.

I'm not sure how to create a variable to output one value on the first page 
then something different on subsequent pages. We have a table continued 
attribute that is inserted on the table title but does not display until after 
the first page. I'm not sure how that works, but it is similar to what I need 
to in this case. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
