Don't confuse the visibility and print options for the conditional text indicators with the visibil-
ity (and thus the printability) of the conditional text itself.
Paragraph-based Numbering
Enhanced numbering and bulleted lists are paragraph attributes, and can be controlled by para-
graph styles. If you need to change the formatting for a numbered list (for example, to change
all numbers to another color), you will find that you cannot select the numbers themselves as
you would select other text. Because the numbers are generated by the paragraph style, you must
change them by using the Paragraph Styles Option dialog box. To control the formatting and
color of numbers and bullets in such situations, you will need to invoke a character style that
applies the desired formatting. For details on formatting numbered text, see InDesign Help.
Numbering Styles
If you can't select a number or letter in a list, it's being
generated by a paragraph style that uses InDesign's
auto-numbering feature . To change the attributes of
the numbers (or letters), open the Paragraph Style
Options for the style (double-click the style name in
the Paragraph Styles panel) . Change the options to
alter the appearance of the numbers or letters . Here,
the multiple-choice letters to the answers in the quiz
have been changed from lower-case to upper-case
letters .
Variables
A Text Variable generates text based on rules: In a Running Header, text is generated based on
rules set up in the Variable definition. To edit the text generated by the variable, either edit the
definition (Type > Text Variable > Define, and select the variable), or convert the variable text to
plain text (Type > Text Variables > Convert Variable to Text) and edit the converted text. Note
that plain text will no longer be changed if the variable definition is edited. There are nine types
of variables:
Conditional Text Indicators
Indicators such as colored wavy underlines or
highlights identify conditional text . You can
choose whether these indicators are visible or
hidden, and whether they print .
