Creating a book in design - want to separate chapters - Halp...

Hi all, I'm quite new in indesign, but have some experience with print layout after a little before using Pagemaker.

I'm carrying a book and I have the manuscript all ready to go, but I need to make sure all my chapters are separate.

Previously, when the design of a book in Pagemaker, I would be split chapters by autoflow and object text them, repeat - or I'd just have the autoflowed whole book throughout the entire document. It is likely that there is a better way to manage this same when I used Pagemaker, but I usually work within the constraints that force me to do what I can, but I digress. My problem is that when I was making even minor changes to the book he would really shake things later in the document (has the butterfly effect). So a small space on page 3 could push something to the wide path on page 253.

What I want, and what would make sense for me, would be a method in which I can arrange chapters and all of their text and style in separate sections. If I change something in the document chapter, it would be automatically and correctly adjust the appropriate amount of space on the following chapters. So just finishing my book, I could just compile all my chapters and export them to the printer.

TLDR: Someone tell me how to handle the chapters separately (including styles, right and space pages.)

Thanks in advance for your time.

Save each chapter a separate InDesign file. Use file > New > book to create a book file and add the chapters of the book. You can synchronize (or sync) the styles and the nuances between the chapters. You can pages AutoNumber so that when Chapter 1 increases 1 page, all the chapters that follow start a page later. This can be difficult, especially when you add an odd number of pages, because the pages changing the same weird also change right left and lead to surprises. You can turn off automatic numbering or you can force chapters to start on odd or even pages, so that the addition of 1 page in Chapter 2 moves all the chapters that follow two pages.

    Flash can read data from several sources (XML files, text files, on the web, on-site, etc.) and you can use these data to populate your address dynamically. He can do the same thing with the pictures and any other active flash can use (images, video, etc).

  • CS5 - transform a Document into a book in-Design

    I have a document from Page 160 + I need the numbered pages.  However, even if I have automatic numbering turned on, it won't have their number.  I came to the conclusion that there must be a book, not a Document for the pages of issue...

    How to make my document page 160 + filled into a 'book' In Design CS 5?  PLEEEEEASE tell me I don't have to start all over again?

    Once I do and the auto number pages, I don't want a number on my page so I guess I picked start numbering at Page 2?

    Also, I have several pages in the 'book' which are full page ads.  How can I do so a number doesn't apear on the ads or I can't do that?

    Thank you!

    Bob

    You don't even need to make a book. You have to put a current "Number of Page" marker in a block of text to the master page where you want the number is displayed on your pages. For these page you don't want not numbered yyou can do another master without number (based on the other, if everything must be the same) or the use of the [none] master.

    To start page 1, somewhere inside the document (and it should be a right-hand page), select the page you want in the Pages panel and choose numbering and Section Options from the Panel menu. Start a new section and define the numbering starts at 1. ID complain you alread have a page 1, so say OK and select the first page of the document in the Panel and return to the numbering options. Change the numbering style for what you want (lowercase numerals are traditional for the preliminary pages, I use A, B, C for covers) and're you good to go.

    What card theme you are using?  And what version of iPhoto?  Your internet connection is working?

    In iPhoto 9.6.1, you can add a location in layout mode.  Zoom in on the map and ctrl - click the location on the map, and then select 'Add Place '.

    In mode 'Options', you should be able to press the button "+" and type a name for the place. The location search pictures by name. You can also ctrl - click on the map and add the location manually.

    What happens when you try to add a place? You get an error message?

  • Creating audio books

    Hi people,

    I am creating an audiobook. I have already registered and modified and created MP3s files, but now I need to merge them into one big file, yet maintain the separate tracks and chapter names. Then maybe save it in audio book format.

    I'm brand new on hearing and it is a bit overwhelming.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Buck

    Well, I mainly use Audacity. I was told I would be able to convert these files using hearing, that's why I bought it. I have the Audacity files. Wouldn't be easier just to start them? The main concern is to be able to have a big file, but still have tracks separated with Chapter information.

    I don't know who told you that the hearing would do this, but they were wrong. Ordinary MP3 files, which creates hearing, do not support the markers or any kind of information of the chapter in standard - that's what you need the audio book creation software. Hearing is, of course, significantly higher than Audacity in a lot of ways, but I fear that the realization of audio books is not one of them.

    What it does however, is working with the wav files to native mode. WAV files support markers and a much more 'normal' approach to the creation of audio books is to convert those properly, but as I said, this is not mandatory. There are all kinds of different pieces of software available to help you, but it is really not what you want to end up with.

  • Creating a book of poem/story in InDesign

    Hello

    I normally work from layout simple but got a multiple page layout project in and wanted to ask for some advice.

    Project:

    -65 page Word doc being transformed into related coverage probably sweet, printed professionally book

    -customer not sure of the size or shape of the book they want, but I'm having this info soon

    -creation of book cover and of article

    -must provide .indd file a model for future volumes of this book of poem (creation of formatting and style sheets)

    -some entries of poem 4 stanzas of line and stories are a page in length: printing at 12 points current Word doc

    I know how to use InDesign and can understand what I don't know about the project. What I'm looking for advice on is the CORRECT WAY for the price of such a project.

    WARNING: I am NOT advocating the easy way (i.e. a flat rate; hours > dollars).

    I ask for someone who has experience with projects of long document to guide me in pricing correctly this project so that I will not do a disservice to our creative community as a whole by money undervaluation of my work. As we know, it is already a big problem if I want to help fix. I confess, I did a presentation of several pages of Cup of the projects (i.e. proposals etc.) in the past and I don't think I price them precisely as it could have been. So, I want first to right again with this project.

    I also don't ask someone to take my hand from the beginning to the end. more if I ask WHAT ARE THE NORMAL LINE ITEMS for a project like this. I have a handle on what should be in line numbers, I just want to make sure I'm not anything.

    Also, I was using a provider of print for awhile now, but they may not work well for this project, so if you have all of the recommendations of the print seller it would be great.

    Price and print sellers vary from one country to another... where in the world are you?

    Usually, it's a few hours x hourly rate

    Or you could apply a daily rate and estimate the number of working days

    Roughly

    initials 4 hours of work for design concepts based on 4 pages with 3 options for the design.

    Based on the chosen design

    I think composition 4 pages in 15 minutes (or 16 pages per hour)

    CIRCA. 65 pages in 4 h 30 - rounds up to 5

    Include things for proofing - half the original time +.

    7.5 hours

    (+ 4 hours time from initial design)

    11.5 hours

    (+ time included in any meetings + phone calls)

    fresh impression + surcharge of 100% on printing (that you assume the risk for the printing company)

    Remember, it takes time to digest and e-mail, store it logically in a filing system, then apply the changes, create a new event and send a new email.

    This should all be included in the language audit costs.
