InDesign, address book files, place objects, package the project

I want to use a book file to combine several smaller files (let's call them "chapters").

Each of my chapters has a number of objects (cmd - D).

I said who placed objects remain outside the main .indd file and allow re-binder if one of these files is updated or replaced.

I use the package tool menu to combine all the fonts placed objects and .indd (and PDF) file in one folder.

I want to know how to use the objects placed in the chapters that are contained in a book file, and how to package everything when I'm done.

Where each of the files belong (in which folder); and how they are organized when I pack them?

How to make a copy of all of the compressed file, to start working on a new iteration [review] the entire book?

I watched the tutorials and read what I can find.

I can't find answers to how working together package, the book and the place .

Thank you.

  • So you place graphics and text files in an InDesign doc (we'll call it aCHAPTERc) and use the features of InDesign to arrange a nice layout.
  • Repeat this process for each chapter.
  • Collect all of the chapters in a book for the paging file, generate a Table of contents, may be a clue.

Now what? If you want to print, you can export the book to PDF and send it out for professional printing. Or you can package the book (use the menu of the control panel in the upper right of the book panel) and collect everything you need for printing through InDesign in a single project file, as well as folders nested for fonts and graphics. The zip file and send it out for professional printing.

These days, providing a high-resolution PDF is more common. So, why use the package? Let's say you're not particularly organized. (I am and always start with a project folder and subfolders and put everything that relates to this project in these folders.) But let's say you're not. You can still use the package afterwards, just to collect and copy all of the assets of the project in a new folder (assets include book and chapter files, fonts, graphics and .idml file and a .pdf print quality). Zip, archive and you are ready, when someone says: "Hey, can I get a copy of this article moved you 10 years ago? What is happening to me more that you would think!

  • during the transition from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, is the address book data stored and also the info in files

    I'm afraid that if I upgrade the form Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, I will lose all e-mail addresses in my address book current as well as the information contained in the files - models etc.

    If you install WLMail on your XP machine, it has to import messages and addresses automatically and nothing will be lost of OE.
     
    If you like WLMail better than OE, you are a person better than I am.

  • . MAB imported address book file is empty in Thunderbird, why?

    I'm using Linux Mint 17. I recently updated from a previous version. I tried to import my old address book, but when I open it there is no information there. I can open it in my text editor, and they're all here! What is the problem? It seems that all online tips are for Windows. I'm using Linux! The only address book file is .mab, so how do I do this?

    OK, I just closed and reopened Thunderbird. Voila, addresses were there. DUH! Problem solved, sorry!

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
    Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

    I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

    Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

    If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

    It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

    Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

    You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

    If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?

  • My address book contacts have disappeared since the upgrade to El Capitan. Where are they?

    Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and all the contacts in my address book Thunderbird disappeared. The AddressBook is completely empty. In addition, he didn't even address on the left hand books, for example "personal address book" etc. My contacts are stored on my computer? If so, where they are located and how can I get back to my address book? I've been adding contacts for a few years. When I compose email, email addresses are auto-fill in the field of composition, so it seems they are still out there? Thank you.

    Open the address book window.

    Select the Directory to display-layout pane

  • Can't remove empty folders from the folder of files HTML (topics) in the project tab

    Hello

    I imported another RH6 project HTML files. Now I have some empty folders in the folder of files HTML (headings) on the project tab. I want to delete them, but the option remove has been grayed out. Any suggestions?

    Thank you
    FMnRH

    Before you delete anything, I would say that you check that the desired folder badly in the other Pseudo-dossiers your HR project are empty. This ususally happens when the items imported using the resources of another folder (usually images but can also be a style sheet). If you delete the files in the Explorer you might end with the missing images. Move the images of HR in the folder desired and then you should see the Remove option is active again from the HTML HR folder.

  • Address book will not migrate to the new computer

    Windows 10; have new computer and was able to successfully export all of my old emails, but for some reason that my address book are not displayed. Checked my profile and it shows all of my... .mab files but when I click "Address book" in you bird, there is nothing there. Have you tried exporting/import profile but same problem occurs. Thoughts?

    Never mind... solved myself! Thanks anyway... (and BTW, I didn't just "carry on my mail"...) I actually copied my complete profile... have done it before, so I'm not a newbie... it was just a glitch in the newcomputer I solved.)

  • Move or merge address books TBird from 'death' in the current installation disc?

    Old boot disk was not able to start Windows 7 Pro, because 'important startup file' has been corrupted in some way to the previous stop (shutdown appeared 'clean'). Re-installed Windows 7 Pro on a new drive, downloaded and installed Thunderbird, etc. on the new drive and now the disk access 'death' just another 'local' drive on the new facility. The directory of profiles of Thunderbird on the disc 'death' is completely readable, but I can't seem to find "address books" (there are four). Also can't find the magic incantation to launch Thunderbird and pointing to the 'old' profile so I can 'export' address books. Any tips?

    TIA, John Chase

    Copy the whole profile instead. Instructions in this article: create a new profile and copy the old stuff on top

  • I want to share address books between different users on the same PC

    Hello
    We have a PC with two different users, but there is only one email address shared between them. We have a copy installed Thunderbird one of each user and a user has multiple accounts for privacy reasons. It would be really useful to have a shared common address book to access addresses of. Is this possible?

    Cheers, Marcus

    Marcus,
    It's really simple comes to mind, but here are two ideas to consider, depending on how often Exchange address book:
    (1) if the shared e-mail address is gmail, each user can then install the add-on gContactSync and let Google have the master copy. That would give each of you frequent clocks to the same address book.
    (2) easy, but not automatic approach would be for a user to be responsible for changes and periodically (daily, weekly,...) export the address book to a ldif file. The other user could then import the address book on behalf of TB.

  • How can I correct my address book so that it inserts the correct email address in the ' to: ' space?

    I can't locate the addresses in my address book because of a separate TBird problem which is apparently solved by technical experts, but I also have this AddressBook problem unrelated. When I start typing an e-mail address in the "to:" slot, Thunderbird end address since we can see it in the address book (but I don't). Then he words the address and insert it into the To: field. But, given that the address is blurred, it does not work. I have no idea that the address is blurred. It looks something like this when Thunderbird is done with it: "[email protected]@gmail.com."

    Removal and restoration of the profile makes no difference, as export/import of the contents of the address book as an .ldif file makes no difference. I asked this question before, but didn't get any help, so I try again.

    This means that a new type of auto-complete was introduced in the last version, but it has been insufficiently tested, and if several other previously hidden bugs have emerged. You can read the discussion (and add your vote for its importance) here:

  • When you try to import data from csv address book, less than half of the csv fields are available for mapping.

    I exported my Outlook contacts to a CSV file. When you try to import the CSV file into Thunderbird, only some CSV fields are listed in the field mapping tool. More important still, e-mail addresses aren't in the list.

    There is a long discussion of importing csv here:

    https://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/importing_windows_live_contacts

    Essentially, you must edit the csv in an editor of spreadsheet or csv file to make it compatible with the address book of TB.

  • import an address book file, no contacts Hatem

    As it is a problem for at least 5 years.  Apple still has not prepared to be resolved (too busy I think to make money on iphones and whatnot).

    In any case, to back up my address book.  Imported into my address book on another Mac.  Surprise, surprise, no contacts.

    So, how can we get the addresses from an address book on one Mac to another... Yes, iCloud, but that's not the answer because Apple export/import function address apparently does not.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thank you.

    Clarifying question - did you export your contacts from the first computer and copy the file to the second computer?

  • Using InDesign CS3, cannot "file > place" to insert anything

    I use InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP computer. When I go to file > place to insert anything (image, PDF, text, whatever), the dialog box import a VERY QUICK flashing (if fast I see nothing but the shape of the box) and crashes then InDesign. Also having the same problem with file > open. All the other options under the file menu seem to work well.

    I tried scrapping the preferences file, but that did not help. I have a 15 page PDF that I need to get into InDesign immediately and do not understand anything.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    Paste is NOT a good option for anything other than the simple vector art you would like to keep editable within the code.

    Just because you've seen the average flash dialog box doen't it did not move off the screen or behind something else. Try to hit the ESC key and see if ID wake. Which would indicate that the dialogue was still active and accepted the command "Cancel". If it works, the problem becomes how to find dialog box.

    When the dialog box disappears try pressing Alt + space, then M, bar which should activate the arrow keys to move a dilog which is at the edge of the screen. Press the arrow keys 20 or 30 times in one direction and then twice more that the other way to see if you can find the dialog box disable one edge or the other of the screen - it is just try it and see approach. Opeing a dialog box in Photoshop and resize, he was also known to cure this kind of behavior from time to time.

    And if you have multiple monitors, try to run at native resolution, if they are flat screens.
