Problem to apply a master page

ID, CS4, I created two masters for a book project - one for the first page of each chapter, the other for all other pages in the chapter. So far, so good: I placed a MS Word doc in the file and I see all six pages of Chapter 1. Now, I want to start Chapter 2 on page 7. So, I applied my first page master on page 7. I see my 'chapter Nr' upstairs, lower than "Title" and the page number in bottom. Now, I want to replace "Chapter Nr" with the actual number and the "title" with the title of the chapter, then flow the text into the page in the remaining space. All items are in dotted line boxes, but when I click on one of them, nothing happens. I was expecting points must be replaced by a solid line box, and I'd be able to change the text in each box and then place text in the bottom text box.

I guess I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't understand what it is. Any suggestions?

Thank you, John

Have you tried Cmd (Ctrl) + Shift click on the frames of masters to replace them? Are they locked up?

  • Apply the Master Page by using the paragraph Style

    Hi all

    I am a beginner in the script. Learn the script through tutorials cs3 scripts.

    According to the paragraph style it automatically applies the master page.

    For example:

    Paragraph style = "CT".      To apply the Master Page = 'A-Master '.

    Paragraph style = "PT";       To apply the Master Page = "B-Master".

    These are the lines I'm working on:

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    var myPStyles = myDocument.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .getElements ();

    myPage var = myDocument.pages.everyItem () .getElements ();

    for (i = 0; i < myPStyles.length; i ++)

    {

    If (myPStyles [i] .appliedParagraphStyle is "CT")

    {

    .appliedMaster myPStyles [i] = 'A-master. "

    }

    }

    Where I have error. Can someone help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance engineering...

    Try this one,

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myParas = myDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
    var myPage = myDocument.pages;
    for(i=0; i

  • Can I apply a Master Pages 1 Page 2?

    Hello

    Is it possible to apply 2 Master Pages to 1 Page?

    Whenever I'm trying to apply second master, the attributes of the first disappear.

    I work with InDesign CC.

    Thank you

    Create a Master Page that is based on the master page that you want to keep the items.

    In the new Master Page, the original master items are locked to this basic form - and you insert additional items.

    Apply your new master page Page for that you need.

  • Insert the Page without re - apply the Master Page

    Hi, using InDesign CS5, I try to insert a page after page 1 of a catalog without re - apply the master page to all pages that follow - is - possible? I have set up in the master that I would delete not instead of text boxes.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Sorry, I know that this was not clear.

    When a page switch sides in the spread of the elements of the template that have been overridden, as blocks of text in which the text has been flowed, will be maintained, but the new position of the page also has main objects and these masters objects will all be there. In the case of things like the headers or footers or other objects that have not been overridden, new objects will appear and the 'old' will disappear, but for what it is overridden, you'll have the old and the new. Without using something like the plugin Pro Auto-Flow - Tools.com, the only way to avoid this is to add or remove multiples of two, or rethink the use of the main object. These blocks of text should be on the master page? You can "auto format" text without master images, and most of the time setting the margin and column guides to contain the flow is preferable to the use of a block of text type for precisely the reason that you see.

  • Problems by applying a master

    I have a gap of 2 pages for a Master. Each master page has a background image, an image at the top of the page and a page at the bottom of the page number box. When I try to apply the master to just the first page of a spread, for some reason, it adds the background of the second page of the master image to the second page of the spread. This background image covers any other master I try to apply to the second page. The strange thing is that it only shows the background image, not the image at the top or bottom page number. Anyone happen to know why it does this and how I can stop doing?

    Make sure that no part of the image exceeds the limits of page (same deplacer.001 pt, if necessary).

  • How to apply a master page to several pages quickly?

    I can drag and drop a template on both pages, but is it possible to drag and drop a template on a page once group? I have tons of pages needing the same model applied.

    Thank you.

    I hear your pain.

    I don't know if it will work, and it is simply not a solution to a single button push, but...

    Make a complete copy of your site for extra security. Include all files in the folder root in this backup.

    In the "draft", gradually to search and replace all the bits of code that tells DW that the page is based on a model. You want to do - the scale of the site and make a "replace all."

    For example, search (in source code)

    <p class="reply">

    and replace with


    <p class="reply">

    In all this, don't forget to include the item you were looking for. You are ADDING code, DO REPLACE not the code, even if the method is to search and replace.

    then find

    and replace with


    and find

    and replace with


    by replacing your name of template to "test2.dwt" in my example above.

    You want to make sure that your editable fields are also taken into account in your search and replacement. If your pages are "all the same" except for the editable area, find the code which is located just before the "editable" and replacement, including the following (consider among the pages that you have based on your template...)

    and follow it with

    Don't forget that your model will pick up the rest of the page which is not included in the < title=""> and the editable area, so if you have all variables (javascript) that appear at the bottom of the page which may change from one page to another, you must include an editable region around them, as well.

    So, good luck. If you succeed, you have saved yourself several thousand agonizing strikes. If you're not, live and live. You always have your backup files.

  • 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 apply master pages across sections or whole

    This is a very basic problem that I'm not easily find the answer in the research. I have to apply master pages and consistently, no matter how, I format the query, am advised: "one or more of the specified pages aren't valid page names." So please give an example of how the page/section names are supposed to be written for:

    A book of 100 pages with article 1;

    A book of 100 pages with article 2;

    Application of the changes to the master page to only one paragraph of the book (pages 50-75).

    I know this is similar to "Sec1: 1-100 ', but not exactly the same thing.

    OK, I think I begin to understand what you are doing. You try to use the menu of the Pages Palette to apply a Master Page to a range? You must include the section number for two pages, like this: Sec1:1 - Sec1:100.

    You can also select the pages in the range first, then use the command master apply. It's perhaps easier.

  • Problem to hide Master Page data

    Hi Experts

    I create two page master A and B in my document and a pages to which the master page is B.

    Now you use master page page master B I apply a master page master page B.

    Now a master are indicated on master page B, which the master is also, for page B.

    But I want the master data A are not present on the page whose master is B, should only present data in page master B.

    If I use the show/hide property can he hide all the master (has and B both master data of the page) of the page whose master is B.

    How can I do it manually and using script?

    Thank you

    Bill Joy wrote:

    In order to apply, but don't like them... hm...

    If the reason to apply a single master to another was to clone certain properties (not objects) ==> remove these objects from master B (CTRL SHIFT and delete klick) once master has been applied.

  • Fireworks master page adapts to the he's happy and apply to only a few selected pages?

    Hi all!

    I use the PNG Fireworks format to save all the pages of the websites that I build. However, when I apply a master page in a Fireworks project, all subsequent pages have this applied master page. Sometimes it is necessary to have a page without the master page applied to it, but I can't seem to find how to do this.

    Another difficulty, I fell on that is not be able to make the master page to adjust to its content, just like regions editable in Dreamweaver model, for those who know what it is. Is it possible to do in Fireworks?

    Greetings,

    Casal André

    André,

    Regarding your first question, we could think that the drop down menu panel Pages might have a command that you would release a selected page of the master, but apparently not. However, if you select the page and go to the layers panel, you can display the Master Page layer in the bottom of the stack. You can set the visibility of the layer or its components, or go to the menu drop-down in the layers panel and choose Delete Master Page layer.

    Regarding the second question, I don't think that it is possible for a page master to "adapt to its content. Per, I'm guessing that you mean to respond fluidly to the other elements on the page, whether they are long or short, etc. It is a property of the web pages, where everything is "outstanding". But Fireworks uses a different system.

    I'm still new to the feature Pages myself, but have you tried the options "Share layer" menu drop-down in the layers panel? These could offer some of the benefits of the feature of the master page, but with more flexibility. The symbols are also something to consider when you want to repeat the elements in a document.
