Long document - Master Page synchronization - unwanted updates

Just started as a novice in functions of long documents, but for years I am a user of CS5 Master Pages management.

My problem: when I move just something on my Page of Style Source Master and then I sync it with other book files, the change will apply to pages in the same document, but on the other files in the book the any Master Page in the Style Source is applied to all the places where I worked!

So I have overlapping areas of text and images. Horrible. It's like a "master to apply to pages" instead of moving only my 2 things through 600 pages!

Before you pick up the book, I was working in a single large document. Now I divide it into several chapters, keeping the same name of the Page Master and Master Page.

Thanks for any help to better understand or if there is no choice either, I have to manually clean up all my 600 (horrible) pages or I have to work on each Master Page on each book file or Master Page load has changed in each book file.

But it seems to me not the promise of a Master Page!

When I didn't put any text in the dummy text boxes and no color in the image on the Page Style Source Master then all 600 pages are free of duplicated texts, the empty boxes on the Master Page are behind my text worked. It will be harder to start working on a new page without dummy text and color.

But this will be the solution? Are there not looking for high-end print output when two boxes are on the other?

Thank you very much for all the good ideas how to handle the question it better more than 600 pages.

sincerely

Corinne

Thanks Pierre, show you one of the solutions is to work with each template of a book instead of synchronization file.

This will work very well with a new object.

But when I down existing securities more than 600 pages, that it might not work.

remove the 'reapply master page items' on the book files and I have a synchronized again.

InDesign does not reapply

  • changes/updates to the master page will not update other pages

    I made some changes to my template and saved.  I went to the homepage and others, and it does not reflect these changes.  It is mainly the size (height) of my page that is not setting...

    In the case where you have reduced the height of the page but the homepage always shows the same height as before, then search for any content on the homepage which does not allow page reduce the size.

  • Information on executives locked in the master pages are missing?

    I noticed that when I updated some CS to CS6 files, Indesign has started to crash very often. It happens when I try to move some executives.

    I came to the conclusion that CS6 is losing the information on some mounts locked to the master pages during the update of the CS6 file. Looks like the images are always blocked even if I do not see that. This means that I can't do something with this chassis locked in secret, because each time Indesign crash.

    Is this only my problem? Any solution or should I rinse just all my old files to the toilet?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I tried to follow these steps to set up a master page to landscape:

    After experimenting with these options, I choose is no longer any text, images or tables that I had put in my new master page of the landscape. The content is somehow now on another layer that I can't.

    Any ideas on how to recover my content?

    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].

  • A master page for all documents in a book file

    Hello!

    I have the file book with 7 files document that it contains. I can solve paginating the book with a master page that apply to all document files? I'm lazy and I don't want to create 7 identical templates. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, master pages names must be exactly the same (case-sensitive and spelling). You choose the document that contains the master page (s) you want to use as source and choose Synchronize master pages in the synchronization options, and then synchronize the book. All the masters with the same name will be updated to match the source file, additional masters who are not present in other files will be added from the source file and page masters not in the source file will be ignored.

  • Update of master pages and formats in several dynamic projects

    I'm a student just starting to learn FrameMaker, so I apologize if this is an inappropriate question. While I was do pretty well with the program and completed a few fairly important projects, I have not really seen how FrameMaker is used in major projects in the industry. So I tried to think about questions that may arise. One that occurs to me is the scenario where a number of computer manuals for a family of products is developed. They all need to be formatted in the same way. Of course, you start by developing a model with master pages and then start each manual based on this model. But then what happens if we discover that for some reason any, that we have to change a graphic on master pages (or something on the pages of reference, a paragraph tag or a variable)? On the import of these things in another file, it is a possibility. But all those working on the project have to do it manually for each file in every book? Or y at - it a way to get these things put updated dynamically across multiple files?

    Or I'm misunderstading how such a project, and so this is a false problem in practice.

    Thanks for any clarification.

    Import formats is very flexible.

    Brief description of van of synchronization of formats across two or more files by importing them from a master file is excellent. However, it highlights one of the problems with the feature import Formats: it can import that categories of full format - all the variables, the paragraph formats, etc. To selectively import only a part of a category of format, savve a copy of the main template under a new name, then delete everything unwanted in each category of format, save the file, and then use this model custom as the source for the file > import > Formats.

    Google search for terms such as "suppression of the FrameMaker formats", without the quotes, for more details.

    You can also use a custom master file to create new formats and import them into your main template file, or you can keep this custom template independent of the general model and the new formats for import it.

    Kind regards

  • multiple automatic master page assignments in an InDesign document

    I got quite a request of my client, and I don't know if this is possible. We are working on a multiple-chapter, each chapter as its own document, manual. They want what he delivered under a pdf print and interactive pdf. So far so good.

    Now comes the part that I can't quite wrap my head around. They want different templates for each type of pdf and want only a delivered InDesign file. The masters will be probably different headers (created in Illustrator) and elements assigned. They also talk about the different margins, and I hope that they decide against it.

    I pronounce the InDesign files, but also print and interactive files. The client wants something that she can work well with in the future.

    So, my questions:

    (1) is there an easy way to change the Master pages in a document without changing the presentation? Perhaps using a script any? Is it possible to use a book .indb file to achieve this? I really don't want to have to reassign the master pages

    (2) I found that pages in the documents does not always block for text frames in master pages, especially the first in threaded frames. Any ideas why this happens? When I put the text to the second, third, fourth etc pages they lock to the master. This is the first image I have trouble with. So if I can't solve this problem, so I have to also make sure that all text blocks are always aligned correctly.

    I hope I gave enough information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

    I don't know exactly what's there for tutorials, but I suspect that if do a search of conditional text in InDesign you'll find more than one.

    My workflow has not yet necessary to alternative layouts (come close once on a brochure for page American and European sizes, but he managed with two files because the customer was still CS3 and did not want to update), but I probably strongly consider if the customer insists on two layouts. If everything that they change the graphic and you use conditional text you can produce one, change the conditions and the other output. There is no move to do something manual along the line here.

  • Help!  Master page in the middle of the document

    I created a flowing form and for some reason I have a blank Master Page (Page 1) which is actually in the document as page 3, I can't move, delete or copy anything on and I can not get rid of this page.  I tried to set it as hidden or inactive and nothing works.  It is quite a complex shape (8 pages long) and I tried to copy the form, page-by-page to a new document, but because she is "sunk", he did not copy and paste in the correct format.

    Has anyone ever had this happen before?  Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Sounds like a problem of paging with your layout.

    Mind you, a master page is used as a background for other pages.

    There is probably a regular page that created a junk page break or you have set the paging of a page 'go to page' settings or more.

    For a better response, I must look first to your form. Can share you it here?

    I installed 5.6.2 Pages but all my old documents will open with ' 08 v.3.03 How can I remove the Pages ' 08 and update all the old documents

    5 pages is located in your Applications folder.

    Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.

    If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.

    You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.

  • Pages RIP, sad story... Spacing inside in the long Document

    Well guys, today as the author of the book I have says RIP Pages and I am looking for different processor. This coz really "filled my heart,' I've got a few days before the date of the release of the book.

    Is this true? The installer inside the spacing of cant pages? OK I tried to model in LibreOffice and opened in Pages - surpriiiise, Pages unfortunately unable to display this type of pitch? Oh... my... God...

    So I do not have the chance to make Pages more, inside the spacing kill my workflow and questions to copy paste images of pages of quality.

    You know, I love coz written Pages tru his smooth, flexible, fast and easy, I love the cropping of the images, I love how fonts - look like, but I think that Pages need really updated for serious work... not only this optimizations for that freaking Sync compatible iOS - Finally, I don't know many people who use pages on iOS.

    If anyone has an idea how to solve this spacing in Pages, please let me know...

    You are preaching in a community of support to users, and Apple isn't here.

    LibreOffice is intentionally written as a product of replacement of MS Office of superset. It has facing pages, related executives, and the possibility of placing several sections within these frameworks. Pages ' 09 v4.3 was the last version of Pages in support of face-to-face and related areas of text pages. Any rejection of Pages v5 (2 years and above) has these capabilities. I can put on a single page in Pages v5.6.1 that looks like one of your pages, but cannot provide the flow of documents in this format, because it is not supported.

    Since you have this work in LibreOffice, can use this product with support functions solid writer.

    The following was done with a text box on the left and a form of white circles on the right. Purely academic exercise to demonstrate a unique layout.

  • Add the Document-specific master page

    I hope simple and fast .

    To add a new page to a document is a coating of a simple:

    app.activeDocument.pages.add ();

    ... but is there a way to change this option to specify a master page to add the document?

    Thanks for any help, Bren

    To add a master spread:

    app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.add ();

    But what do you mean by "add a master page that is specific to a document? Maybe add a page and apply a master? In this case:

    app.activeDocument.pages.add ({appliedMaster: app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item('B-Master')});

  • Cannot select items Master Page - but only on the last Page of my Document

    I'm working on a magazine layout, which has the page number and month located downstairs outside the corner of each page (pretty standard). Of course, I have this set up on the master spread. So far whenever I have to remove these items on a page of my document I was able to Ctrl + Shift + click and delete. But for some reason any on the last page (on the back) I can't click little matter what I try. I'm still able to select on other pages, and I have confirmed that the layers are not locked. Any ideas why this is only a specific page that gives me any questions?

    (Just to be sure, that I save my document, close and restart the program.) The problem persisted unfortunately.)

    and I confirmed that the layers are not locked.

    Check that the master page element is not set to prevent substitute also. Go to the main spread and select the folio of problem, choose Pages > Master Pages... and make sure that allow point Master overrides on selection is checked. MP articles that are protected do not have the framework dotted on the pages when show the contours of the block is selected.

    And make sure that you have not inadvertently duplicated the folio on the page or master page.
