Blocks of text in master pages

I put a block of text or any other image on a master page and it will appear on all normal pages. However I can't use any of these images on normal pages, such as putting the text in them or a picture. I need to create a text block and others on all normal pages each time. I tried clicking on the master text frame in the new Document menu, but it makes no difference. What is the point of putting images on a master page if they cannot subsequently be used? They are intended just to display things like page numbers or chapter heads? I must admit that I am new to ID of Quark.

On the 'normal' page, to release a master page item, you click on it with the black arrow while pressing Ctrl + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Shift).

You can now add text to the text frame.

The advantage of this is that if you change the position or size etc. of the text frame on the master page, all of these images on normal pages will change as well in the same way.

If, however, you add text to the image on the master page, then all the blocks on normal pages you have overridden and text added to manually will not change.

  • The blocks of text and master pages

    You have a question about the layouts and master pages.

    If I build a file to have a left and right master page.  I have a text box to the Center which has a different position, based on the page being left or right facing.

    When I first add pages to the document, all right.  If I change the order of the pages in the text position box so wrong.

    I tried "Snap to Guide" and using "bearings commented.

    Any suggestions?

    BAD advice, Rik.

    Reapply a master page reaffirms all main objects behind those who were previously substituted. The same thing happens when you have facing pages and add or remove an odd number of pages - all pages that change of camp is rebuilt with new frameworks of unreleased masters for executives who have been manually replaced. Text blocks which were published automatically by placing text into it without a manual control must first swap positions, so it seems that the OP publishes masters executives before adding the text.

    A way to minimize the impact would be to allow the adjustment of the layout before adding pages, as long as managers are aligned with guides. You will always get the second image behind, but if she has no line, filling or content may not be a problem. In the show The other hand, if you publish a master frames before entering the text, one wonders why they are on the master page in the first place.

  • Select the block of text on each page of a sudden and resize them

    Hello, I want to do a 400 pages of text. How can I select the block of text on each page of a sudden and change their size at the same time? (each block of text is the same size per page)

    Make a backup copy of the file incase something goes wrong, then:

    Ensure that executives align on the margins on all sides - change margins of the master page applied to achieve, if necessary.

    Allow the adjustment of the layout (layout > setting layout...)

    On the master page, change the margins to be the size you want the new text frame dimensions to be.

    If, for some strange reason, you won't use these margin settings in the layout, turn off the setting of page layout and reset them on the master page again to what you want.

  • Blocks of text on the Pages of body 'Buried' after update of the Page Master

    I have a background full screen on my main page (on the left in this case) that integrates static graphics and borders for certain master pages. I use the borders/boxes for NOTE and END of text on some pages. Blocks of text on these master pages do not overlap. I added text blocks with my icons and the text of the note to these body Pages that I need them. All great so far.

    I decided to update the background chart on page master to change colors, etc.. All files are linked.

    Now, with funds master page updated, these pages where I added text blocks are 'buried' as on a sublayer. I checked that my Master Page background images are "sent back". I tried to wear my text boxes at the front on the Pages of my body, but they are still hidden. Interesting as the anchored frame (the icon), I attached to each NOTE or TIP point appears, but the text is not. Also, I can see and select the contours of the block... the text is hidden. If I drag the fame to another part of the document (for example, on top of another Master Page text frame sank, while the text is displayed.

    There is no image on the master page to the enclosed area. I wonder if that's what I need trouble. Just add a backstory (not attached flow)?

    Advice before I go and screw something else?

    It is what it is supposed to look like (1). Image (2) what I mean now.

    Thanks Arnis,

    It was the property of skin! How simple... I didn't have on this subject.

    Solved!

    To answer you question, however... my approach for the construction of this new model was:

    1. I created a graph from bottom (full page) to contain the image of brand and imported/positioned.
    2. I placed the header and a footer frame and filled with content.
    3. I placed the blocks of text with streams (as a single stream in this document).

    I'm not dropping blocks of text for the content of the body... except for these tips and remarks. I don't want to use a workflow for this because I never know where they'll pop up and I want to be able to (position) specifically on each page. Is this a good approach?

    Yes, I'm aware of the continuous line down the block of text NOTE you mentioned. Originally, I had all the text within the limits. When I have updated master, all offbeat pages (only in blocks of text body page with notes/tips). I repositioned and they flow very well now.

    Thank you very much for your help continues with it. Why these problems always pop nitpciky - up to date - not when things are slow!

  • How do I paste text in a text block created via a master page?

    I'm struggling with InDesign CS 5.5 (on a Mac under OS 10.7.4): I'm sure it's very basic, but I just can't cope. (I'm a photographer, not a graphic designer, so a beginner with InDesign.)

    I created a series of master pages in order to throw a book it is the photos and text of 50-50. I try to paste text into a new page, based on one of my master pages of text. I can see the text box on the page as a dotted outline, but I can't seem to stick in there. When I try and click a command-V, InDesign creates rather a small square box with the first words of the text inside.

    Should I have not designed my book using templates? I thought that if I placed my graphic boxes and text (for the legends as well as the main text) on these master pages, it would be easy to fill the boxes with text and images. Rather pages based on these masters look like tempting fantasies, showing me the ghosts of real text and graphics boxes that I need for my book.

    (I already had a disastrous initial attempt to add text to my document by placing the entire file, when I knew he would still form edition - I then couldn't remove the superfluous pages without creating text doubled on the odd pages; and when I tried to dissociate things disappeared around text boxes.) I thought paste a section at a time instead would be foolproof. But not so far).

    To replace your frames of masters, if that is the route you decide to take, hold down the command + shift and click the image.

  • Automatic update of text in master pages

    I don't really know how to explain this, but here is my best shot. I have a file which contains about 8 models to choose from master page. Each page has the same border information, but the body is different in each of them. Now I have to update all the information border manually for each page, but I was wondering if there was a way to fill one of the pages the and that this information will automatically fill other master pages, I built.

    You can base one master on another and all objects on the base controller will appear on the masters based on so unless you overrided and delete it. It is a fairly common way to organize things. Start with the most basic level of Master object - can - be simply folios, and other masters of base on that and on the other. Common elements are then published on the page of basic level and automatically change the other and on pages based on each of them.

  • Adding pages and blocks of text to emulate the behavior of "Smart Text Reflow"

    I create a large number of tables in a document.  If I'm Smart Text reflow on, my script is malfunctioning.  I have the start of treatment:

    1. Add a new table

    2. If the last block of text of page overflowing and then add a new page

    With smartTextReflow off, I want to assure that the executives of new blocks of text which corresponding to the main text of the page master.  It must be able to manage to get the settings from the page of left/right text block.

    I have solved my problem.  I was overthinking things!

    Given that I have selected blocks of text on master pages as the main text blocks, when you create a new page, a block of text is automatically created. So the problem is then simply connect the block preceding text for the text block that was created when the page is added.

    TableAutomation.prototype.AddPage = function() {
         var previousTextFrame = app.activeDocument.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
         var np = app.activeDocument.pages.add();
         var textFrame = np.textFrames[0];
         previousTextFrame.nextTextFrame = textFrame;
    };

  • frames of text block on master pages

    I use InDesign CS4. I created a master page from left and right - each master page has two text blocks. All frames are threaded, starting with the first picture on the left mask, then the second image on the mask on the left, which is then threaded to the first image on the good master, which is bound to turn the right on the right master frame.

    When I throw the text in blocks of text on layout pages, the text flows from the first column of the first page to column on the next page and so on.

    Is there a way to force the text to flow in the same way that frameworks are configured on master pages? In other words, I want a page layout, text is flowed by the first column of the first page, in the second column on the first page, to the first column on page 2, in the second column on the second page and so on.

    Are you that flow directly into the main frame, or you would outweigh the first one before placing the text? Substituted executives are no longer a part of the master plan of thread, but I think if you had column giudes implemented this autoflow elapse even through all the columns in the page, even if she was not use key frames. A little confusing, to say the least.

    Can you post a blank doc with this master page somewhere and give us a link here?

  • Is no longer, I can choose any text, images or tables that I put in a landscape master page that has a different text than the rest of the document stream.

    Have you added [another] master block of text to the page? If so, you may have placed one above the other. Try to select the main text block and move it slightly to see if you have another below it [who is probably your content].

  • Master page text frame does not appear on the pages of the child of the master

    Why a block of text on my A-master (indicated under control) does not control the size of the blocks of text on the pages of the children of this master? Is a likely answer that I placed the text on the pages of the child until I entered the text block on the A-master. But even at this stage, when I create a new A-master, there is no block of text at all, in order to recreate and redo the problematic child pages appear not to be a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    When you click on the Plus sign next to a master page to create another master page, it does not inherit the master page objects. It simply creates an empty template. If you want the new master page to inherit the objects, then right-click on the desired master page and choose 'duplicate page.

    As child pages are concerned, Yes, they should inherit all objects and properties of the master page. It's really weird if his past is not for you. What happens when you right click on the page child and apply desired master for this menu?

    Kind regards

  • Master Pages to control the body of text Styles?

    I think that I must not understand Master Pages.

    I want to create a set of blocks of text on each page in my book. I'd like the images to be the same on each page, with the same font, justification, size, etc. for each frame (and I'm not put on blocks of text from one page to the other).

    If I try to use Master Pages to put all in place and then you change the master page by pasting the different text on each page, I lose the ability to change the fonts, the sizes of fonts, etc. on all pages at once. Since I replaced the captain for this block of text, change the mask is no longer affects this text.

    Should I use another way to set the font, font size, the justification, the etc in frames on all pages at once? (I join resize or move these blocks of text on all pages at once, too, but just pasting text into a substituted master framework seems to let me to modify the framework itself.)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for any help.

    What you describe is paragraph Styles: font, size, justification, etc. When you use a paragraph style say body text and want to make a global change, just change the assigned to body text paragraph style. Can you give an example of the "set of blocks of text on each page. Also if you can tell us what version of ID you use, Mac/Windows?

  • Automatically add the blocks of text or pages

    Greetings,

    I would like to know if it is possible for InDesign (either automatically or by script) to add any columns or pages if the content exceeds the width/height of the text frame.

    overlaping text frame.png

    The content is imported via the import option in XML format. My layout is composed of 6 columns per page. When I import the xml into the gray text block, the framework grows in height that overlap the next block of text instead of "push," as I want it too. It is the same for the other blocks of text.

    Is it possible to automatically add text blocks to fit the content and/or the pages?

    That's what I mean, but you will need to click on a place that does not already have a block of text (a new page or an empty column) and autoflow will add as many pages as needed from there.

  • Question page vs Master Page

    Is it possible to insert different information in different pages, for an empty text boxes, applied to a Master Page? If so, how? Or each specified page just needs to be a double Master Page of its own?

    Any idea is appreciated.

    I think that we must learn the concept of pages, masters and layers.

    On a master, you will need to place objects that repeat on every page, but not any type of content. On the mask belongs to a block of text with the page number marker, life headers, section marker, background, all on different layers.

    Only if you have created a primary text blocks they should be on the master are other placeholder not suppoesed to be on the master.

    On the page is all that is part of the content.
