How global master pages changes and reference...?

Here is my scenario, I have several technical documents (books) who are between 40 and 90 chapters.  I need to make overall on the master pages overrides and reference (logos, etc).  How can I change the master pages in the book without having to change each chapter separately master/reference page?

I was not the creator of these books, and I'm fairly new to framemaker.  I have a lot of experience in Indesign and Pagemaker.

The original documents were created in version 8.0 and I use version 9.0

Thanks for the help-

Either get a chapter just as you want, or create a master (recommended) file, is not in any book, but who has all the settings properly.

Open your file of "master".

Open all the files in the book (Shift + file > open). In the book file, select all the files of the component to which you want to apply the changes. Do file > import Formats > and specify your master file as source.

If you only want to update the master and ref pages, simply select these options (template =) layouts.

In most cases, you do not want to activate the checkboxes that remove the replacements.

    In this case, since the file already seems to deal with pages, it is probably sufficient to select A Master in the Pages panel, open the flyout panel menu and select the Master Page Options and change the number of pages 1 to 2.

  • How to Master Page page number (and the title of the book) appear on the top?

    Hello

    I tried a long time ago and didn't, but I would try again.

    I've got about seven pages of intro to chapter in my book.  Each of them uses a Master Page that has the title of my book and the page number at the bottom.

    But in each case, I added a content text and background color, and background color covers the number of title and page book down.  I see again the page number and the title, but they are not separate.

    Is there an easy way to keep whatever it is, but have the title and the page number appear ' on top ' (without getting rid of the background color)?

    Best regards, Malcolm

    On your master page, make a new layer and move it to the top of the palette layers. Put your page numbering and title on this layer and then lock the layer so nothing else can be put there.

  • The master pages, layers and immutable objects

    Help! We are new to Indesign CS5, using Quark previously to our magazine.

    We have created multiple master pages with layers; a header section etc., graphics, help lines, pagina.

    There are two text boxes ready to the title and signature, filled with text.

    When you add new pages to the document, the layers do not - follow the objects in the layer (layers sup?) disappear and appear to be flattened on the layer, make no editable objects. The layers are unlocked and we have disabled the selection objects locked "to prevent" in the preferences. (I read that it is the solution in other threads here).

    Any tool or key/combo try us, the result is the same. Adding a new page, or by adding a blank page and applying the master gets the same result; a page with the layers but objects flattened on the layer, and we can even select them / change.

    There's probably a simple explanation here, but we are at our wit's end.

    Help, please!

    IRIL & Tina, Norway

    One of the biggest differences between Quark and InDesign is how are managed master items. Master page items are all locked to the master and not selectable on the live pages.

    You can cmd + shift / ctrl + shift-click to replace them, but the point is that anything it either on a master will not move or be changed. For a block of text to be completed of text on each page, I personally prefer to drag a snippet on the live page, but you may prefer the substitution command.

  • How to insert page codes and generate a table of contents?

    Help!

    I have a Multi-document of 150 pages. I need to know How TO:

    (1) Insert the code of the page, and

    (2) to create a Table of contents which generates the section headers and page numbers.

    My computer is a PC and I am running Acrobat Reader Professional 11. When I open the PDF file that has been created/saved in Acrobat version 7 x, the following message appeared: "Acrobat has detected that this page has no editable text or that he has analyzed the content. These documents are better led by conversion to another format by using the export file option in the editing of content panel. " I exported the PFD to a Word according to the document, but there are many errors in code and text that would be too labour intensive.

    Does anyone know a work-around for my dilemma? Thank you very much for the help!  :-)

    There is no such thing; It's either

    1. Adobe/Acrobat Reader
    2. Acrobat Pro
    3. Acrobat Standard

    You will need Acrobat, not reader, for what you are trying to reach.  If you do not have Acrobat, what is your version?

  • Master Page Bugs? Do not update the changes or apply correctly, New Page.

    I work for our new models of project with master pages and have found what appears to be several major problems:

    1 when I make changes in the Master Page (.htt file), none of those changes propagate to the topics that have been attributed to this Master Page. He shouldn't do that?

    2. as an alternative, I tried to apply a Master Page to several topics on the pod to the list of topics. The first problem with this is that you can not apply the existing Master Page. So, I had to create a new Master Page with my changes and then tried to apply it. However, several problems occur. First of all, none of the new Master Page formatting appears correctly. Second, for some reason it is duplicate the breadcrumbs at the top of the page (each master page, before and after only had a breadcrumb). It seems to have combined some of the formatting both before and after the template.

    I must also point out that when I apply the Master Page with changes to a new topic, it works correctly.

    I have read the documentation carefully and that you feel that I'm doing this correctly. The problem seems to be that the feature does not as promised. I see this as a serious problem. Our models are likely to change over time, and I need the ability to apply changes massively.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Hello

    You must first understand Master Pages are used in two completely different ways. Looks like you make changes to the space reserved for the body of the Page Master and expected to see changes influence-related topics. Sorry, but that never worked.

    There are therefore two ways Master Pages are designed to work in RoboHelp.

    Method 1 - used to infuence the EXISTING content.

    Maybe you have created 1,000 and now you want to add a header, footer, or both to these existing entries. You set a Master Page and add a header, footer, or both to the Page Master and you associate it with topics. All of these topics now have a header or footer. Any changes made to the header and/or footer is filled throughout with all related topics.

    Method 2 - used to influence the new items that you create.

    You may know that you want to create many subjects that should have the same look and feel. Maybe all of them begin with a table that contains an image and text. So you set a Master Page and configure the space reserved for the body you want to see it. When you create new topics, you point to the Master Page so that as the topics are created, the content of the body of the Page master is filled in on the subject as a starting point. Once the topic has been created initially, the changes to the Master Page ARE NOT reflected in the topics. This method works identically to make a copy of a document. The copy is identical to the original. And any changes made to the original will be never copied during the copy. Only NEW copies will receive the changes.

    The breadcrumbs go, you have probably GLOBAL breadcrumbs activated in the recipe for the presentation of a single Source. This means that everything gets crumbs during the creation of the exit process. If you try to use the SELECTIVE Breading by adding space to the Page master, you must disable the breadcrumbs GLOBAL to avoid double.

    I hope that helps a little... Rick

  • How to specify the master page according to odd or even first page

    We have implemented our books to delete empty pages and we have chapters starting both odd and even pages. In addition, the first pages of our chapters are formatted differently than in the rest of the left and right Master pages. We would like to have two Master pages for the first page of the chapter, one for odd pages and one for the same, so that we can compensate for the margins, leaving more room on the side of the link.

    My question is how do I set up the book so that it generates when, if the chapter starts on an odd page, it automatically applies the master page by odd pages first and when the first page is the same, it applies to the master page by same first pages?

    We have 8 FramMaker and run on Windows XP Professional.

    Thank you

    Tim

    Tim,

    It depends on your book settings. If the next chapter is set to start on a right-hand page, then if the previous chapter ends on an odd page (e.g. law), FM has for add a left page. Book settings always take precedence over the settings of files. You must specify a page available next to the level of the book for all the files (after the first chapter) If you want transitions smoothly with none of the additional pages being inserted. However, you may have a few chapters from the left side, so make sure that you have both a left and right first master page defined and used in your mapping table.

  • The changes have disappeared from the master page, why?

    Changes in the master page of a dita topic file, but whenever I restart FrameMaker2015, any changes disappear, why? Everyone please answer!

    Adama

    mehjabins,

    The appearance of a file of DITA topic, including master pages, comes from a model when the XML source file is opened. Then when the XML file is saved, the information disappears. In other words, all information of formatting in a file in FrameMaker DITA is temporary, just a convenience for the creation of WYSIWYG. If you want the master page changes to stay permanent, you need to change the common model that is used to open files. If change you it, the changes appear in every theme DITA file that you open then.

    I don't know exactly where this file remains, perhaps someone else could give advice. I would say, however, that this can be a risky business. Be sure to make backups.

  • Head / Work Flow / Master Page confusion

    Hello ,.

    I think that I am not understand a basic concept here with regard to the workflow.

    I have installed a new Master Page in the Document that contains a head on one side and it imported into Document B.

    When you work with the new Page Master Document B, I decided that the head side had to be larger.

    I go to a Master Page view and then choose Format > Page layout > column... layout I get the following warning:

    http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/1945/smni.png

    I click OK and get the following warning:

    http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/8884/hngx.png

    The column layout box and I can change the width of the head to one side but, as defendants, only the Page of Master of law is changed.

    How do I change the Master Page imported and what term I don't understand?

    Once A Doc formats are imported into Doc B, there is no other connection between the two, then, really, that's about Doc B.

    On master pages, change each of the Masters using the Panel object properties and you should be good.

    IIRC, the Format > Page Layout > column layout works more consistently when your cursor is in the main stream on the pages of body.

    Now that you have noodled with the masters and order of column layout, you may need to change the steps a little, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

  • With two-page master pages

    Who is affected:

    I often create double pages that best suit our needs if they appear side by side.  For these two pages, I would also use handy master of InDesign pages features.  I create a master page to the right and the left, but when I anchor the two pages as a simple spread, elements of right master page appear on both pages.  Is anyway to make sure the pages document reflects the master pages mirrored?  If only I did these pages sometimes, I simply give up the master page feature and place the master page items in the pages of document themselves.  I do, however, several pages a week, so I was hoping to implement a model of two-page spread with all repeated items stored on the master pages.

    Kennith69

    Suppose you start a new document, as well as 2 pages. They have defaults to 1 on first page of page numbering. If you select the first icon in the page; go to the upper right of the Pages panel menu button and click on "numbering and Section Options" you can change the first page to start numbering at 2. This will cause to become a left page, and the number is 2; and the second page will be a numbered right-hand page 3.

    IOW, do not drag the pages for him anchor them.

  • Apply the style of Pará to the xml element based on the type of master page?

    IM using a flow xml, im importing the xml to be used across different master page templates and I want to apply paragraph styles different items depending on what master page xml, they are on...

    So I have 3 put templates in place

    Type of page 1

    Type of page 2

    Type of page 3

    and 3 paragraph styles

    I have the same xml structure deposited on each page...

    < Entry >

    < name > Page < / name >

    So, can I use javascript to apply the paragraph (style 1) style to the xml element (name) on any page that uses the master page (type of Page 1)

    Is this possible? whether and how this could be done?

  • Master Pages: single Image each chapter?

    In a book, I would use the same Master Pages in each chapter, with one exception: I wish that the "First" Master Page in a chapter to contain its own art background, different from that of the other chapters. Each photo on the first page of a chapter will be indicative of the following chapter. Everything else on the Master Pages will remain the same through chapters.

    At the same time, I would like to be able to import Master Pages in all chapters. But, if I do unique master pages in each chapter, I crush you uniqueness of each chapter when I do a massive importation.

    Ideally, I could indicate an import by reference to the first Master Page, but the reference would contain a variable specific chapter that would point to the picture appropriate for this chapter. Something like Import < titrechapitre > _image.jpg.

    But I suspect that I ask the impossible here. Does anyone know of a way to do this in FrameMaker? Otherwise, I could probably accomplish this with FrameScript, but if possible, I prefer the solution to stand on its own in the FM.

    Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.

    Ken

    The piece of art can be without anchorage on the Master Page itself. Don't forget to send it backward is under the text block.

    Our section start pages, for example, have the company logo demonstrably in the upper left corner of the text block, with the evasive 6.0 pt by default.

    In your case, assume that a chapter is security. The mascot of the page might be the icon of safety ANSI (my avatar).

    The name of the master page is Chapter.Safety. You might need a PM for Chapter.Safety.Left and a Chapter.Safety.Right if double-sided.

    You also define a variant called Heading1.Safety Heading1

    The association is between the format name of a paragraph on the body of the page and the name of the Master Page. Art is not involved.

    In the table of reference Page MasterPageMaps MasterPageMaps, under the name of tag, RH, LH and range, need you:

    Heading1.safety | Chapter.Safety.Right | Chapter.Safety.Left | Unique

  • An existing master page can be made to a child?

    I have about a dozen in a document master pages, that I converted to Pagemaker. I need to make some changes of trial and error to the page layout > margins. I don't want to make changes repeated available to each master page. I prefer to install a new master page layout and make other children of it. Don't see any way to do this. When I select any existing master page on the table on the Page and go to the menu of the control panel Page, Master's Options is grayed out.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    OK, so the result here is the complaint that the selection of a single page of a multiple page master spread in the Pages panel does not give you the context or flyout menu options 'Master for MASTERNAME.'

    I think that the simpler solution is to rightclick the master name, to the left of the icon (or, in your case, below), rather than the icon. Then, it still works.

    I would call this a bug of cosmetics.
