I have a document in Google Docs which has a lot of images numbered sequentially. Every time I add a new image in the middle of the document I have to renumber all the image numbers along the document along with its references. How could I renumber the following images automatically, like we can do in LibreOffice using variables?
so far it is not possible. You could take a look at Google Apps Scripts to create a macro that does that: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/
I've just finished creating a Google Docs Add-on (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3641454?hl=en) that can number images and tables. It is going through the process of certification by Google and I hope to publish it soon :)

You can use Crossref. The way it works is that you higlight the text referring to a figure, which can be anything e.g. "Figure n" as the add on will replace it.
You then use Ctrl + K to make this into a link to a non existent bookmark such as "#figur_heights" where you can put any text you like after the "#figur_..." Do that for all the figures in the document and when you refer to a figure use an identical non existent bookmark, except it starts as "#fig_..." e.g. "#fig_heights". In this way it can number the figures consecutively and use matching numbers for the in text references.
Finally you then need to go to Add ons > Crossref > Update and it will go through and update all the text for those bookmarks to the sequentially numbered Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. You need to do that whenever you change the order of the figures in your document, add a new reference etc, anything that will change the way the figures are numbered.

I am creating a Saved Search for my team where users can filter by different parameters but the most important one is a ‘Keyword’ field where we have multiple text strings separated by commas. Eg: One could be (Horses, Apples, Cows, Carrots, Balloons) and another could be (Apples, Cake, Silver, Horses, Bananas)
I want to be able to use the free text search field to look up all rows where I can find a relevant entry.
Eg. Let’s say I type “Apples” and “Horses”. I want to see all entries where these are found together.
I have tried setting the criteria to “Contains” but can’t seem to use operators in the input field. I have also tried to use expressions but got You cannot use an expression builder criteria filter as an available filter" as an error.
I’m not familiar with NetSuite but willing to learn. I was able to create this in Google Sheets. Since we already store our information on NS already, I want to find a way to do it there. Is there a way to achieve this?
Thank you.
When you create the saved search, you can just specify a default value that will be used in the initial search load (e.g. contains Apples). In the Available Filters tab, select the same filter and check Show in Filter Region.
When users run the saved search, they can change the criteria by typing into the field and pressing Tab after (if you press Enter instead of Tab, the results will be downloaded into a CSV file instead of being displayed in the page). In your example, they should type 'apples%horses' then press Tab.

Update:
Use 'has keywords' instead of 'contains' in the filter. When viewing the results, separate keywords with a comma. Example: 'apples, horses'
What I would like to do is swap data from one column to another column or the other way around. Let me try to give an example.
I have a list of containers we use to deliver goods to a customer. As soon as those goods are delivered the container is empty and brought back, so available again. What I would like to do is have the list of containers in use on one side and on the other side a list of empty containers.
In between I want to create two buttons that move the container to the other column ( >> and <<).
I have tried this myself and always failed. Eighter it doesn't work at all or I end up with a lot of blank spaces...
The best picture example I can give you guys is probably this:
thank you all for your help!
I am trying to build a better structure for creating product specifications for our products, Currently everything is done in excel, as a result every time a value is changed, it takes numerous man hours to make that change to all the specifications. Additionally, our inventory of products continues to grow. I am trying to introduce a new system for developing specifications that will allow me to manage the snowball effect of growing specs and increasing work for simple changes to the entire product line.
My question is, if I build a database with all the necessary values for the template we already use (an excel sheet), is there a way I can enter a part number in the excel template and have all the other values populate into the template at their appropriate locations?
I have posted images of the template and a sample of what the Access database could look like.
Thank you for your help.
I am not a programmer but I have to create an expense form for traveling. It has to be in PDF format (preferably Adobe Acrobat editable). I created the form with Excel and exported it to Adobe but, of course, the formulas do not transfer.
I have 3 pages that are identical for calculating travel expenses with the only difference being there is one extra cell on the first page that calculates totals from each page to a grand total. Sounds easy. All the pages calculate individually with no problem but I cannot reference the totals from the individual pages to the first page where the grand total is.
I am using Adobe LiveCycle because it "simplifies" the programming process for people like me. It has worked great so far but this is the only thing problem I am having and the only thing holding me from using the form.
All three pages are in the same document. When I use FormCalc for the totals within each page, it works great:
topmostSubform.Page1.P1TotalGrand::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
$=P1MileageTotal+P1TransAirTotal+P1CarRenTotal+P1HotelTotal+P1AllowTotal+P1PhoneTotal+P1MIETotal+P1BusMealTotal+P1OtherTotal
If I go to the next page, it looks like this:
topmostSubform.Page2.P1TotalGrand::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
$=P1MileageTotal+P1TransAirTotal+P1CarRenTotal+P1HotelTotal+P1AllowTotal+P1PhoneTotal+P1MIETotal+P1BusMealTotal+P1OtherTotal
I just want to be able to add them together. When I try, it doesn't recognize the 2nd page and I don't know why. The form is pretty basic and I would really appreciate any help. If you need any additional information, I'll be glad to oblige.
I believe you can do it. There should be many ways and I am a newbie too so here are two ways...
If you want grand total of 2 pages - does not matter on which page you want it, the formula should be like
topmostSubform.Page1.P1GREATTotalGrand::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
$=P1TotalGrand+P2TotalGrand
The trick is to select both by press and hold Ctrl Key, then select the field you want to select rather then type in. this should solve the problem.
If you want the total to be at page one.
Make the P2GreatTotalGrand to be a global data and create the same data field on page one and add this new one and one already on page one to get the grand total on page one.
i am looking to create an invoice in either MS-excel or MS-word. This invoice will contain several fields like invoice no., customer name, product info, quantity, Amount, Date, Address of customer, phone no. etc. The function of the invoice will be, to generate a unique invoice number, every time i open it, and then the vendor will mention the customer's info, product's info and click on submit button or save it. The info mentioned in the invoice will automatically be saved in the MS-Access database whenever submit button is clicked or the document is saved.
Thus, All the records of the customer will be saved in the MS-Access database. whenever i need to search for a particular customer, i should be able to search it from either invoice no. or any unique field for that particular invoice. I hope my query is explained clearly. please let me know the easiest way to do it. I do not have the vast knowledge about this subject, so give me suggestions that are understandable by a Novice.
I think you are starting from the wrong end. Use an Access form to get the data and then run a mailmerge, the easiest way is to output a text file from Access as the data file and use a Word template for the merge.
An autonumber may suit for invoice number as long as all you need is a unique number. If you need documented sequential numbers, you will have to create then yourself. How you do it will depend on the number of users working at the same time.
I can tell you now, generating Word files with Access is a bit of a pain in the ass. If you really want to do formatting it gets hard (is my experience).
I ended up generating HTML files in which I could control everything, and opening them as .docs. But if you are really new to this, I suggest you start with some VBA tutorials, where they explain to you how you get records from you database and loop through them to generate output. And then you can start looking at file writing functions in VBA.
Can't find any tutorials real quick (my girlfriend is getting angry as we speak), but here is a sample:

Just look around in fora, look for file generation and looping through records.
Hi just reading your post, like Remou l would strongly suggest you use Access to enter and store the data. It is possible to get a user to enter data into a spreadsheet and write the data back to Access DB. Not something l would recommend for the novice, here is a link to some code on how it could be done
Returning to your first question, of creating the invoice have you considered generating the invoices from Access using a report? They can be printed to PDF, or exported to various electronic formats. Or is there specific reason to use Word/Excel? If are going down the route of using Word to generate the invoice then use a template as Remou suggested. See this link for some samples see the section titled Access > Word. I have used the examples as a basis for Access to Word. A number of the examples though use a tecnology called DAO, which l understand will not be included in any operating system after Windows 7. Just something to be aware of.
Searching for a record in a database table this link has one possible solution . Also the author has included a example database.
