An off-the-cuff description of how to get there (there may be better ways that escape me at the moment): With some initial setup, there is a way to install a threaded numbered list over the map-number positions that will alleviate some of the manual work you’re doing now. (A semi-automatic solution may be possible with a ‘catalog’ plugin.) There is no native InDesign feature that would link up the list and the map-number positioning in a way that would produce a fully automated solution. I’m wondering if it has to do with maybe one of the following?Ĭan any indesign guru help me out with this?Īssuming I understand the problem well enough: That way I can update the business list and the numbers on the map will auto update. So somehow I want to connect the number in my list styles to a duplicate number on the map. The number beside each business is connected to a duplicate square and number on the map. Then, in indesign I have the legend with the businesses in alphabetical order. What I am envisioning is that I make the map in illustrator, place it in indesign. This can happen a lot, thus making me go into illustrator to renumber everything. When a new business is added to the map, it changes all the corresponding numbers on the map. Say I have a map, its fairly complicated and it has a numbered legend with business’s names and locations. I have a pretty particular question and I’m just lacking the vocabulary to even google it properly.
