Question about InDesign: master page items I delete will not be missing.

I'm working on bringing a book, with chapters that are separate files. Of course, there are a master page with various guides that I use a lot, as well as a header running pretty standard with the names section and chapter and page numbers. As is standard practice, I would like to appear on almost all the pages, but not on the front pages of the chapters. (There are other times I might want to replace it, but that is the main). So, I Ctrl-Shift-click, then delete them when I put in place a new chapter.

Problem is that they are not missing. Every so often, I open a previous chapter and find that these items are back on the first page of this chapter, and I remove them again. I only noticed this since I did the chapters in question in a book file so that I can keep an eye on my pages and synchronize styles more easily.

My best guess is that maybe it has something to do with the aforementioned synchronization. I don't want these chapters to share the same master pages, but don't want to keep IDto re-application of the elements of their share to the individual pages that I have already manually the deleted since (sometimes more than once). How can I stop this from happening? (Or otherwise, if it is not the cause of the problem, what else could be and how to deal with that?)

Create a different master page based on your primary master page for these pages. Do not make substitutions on the pages of work.

  • To access the InDesign master page items by name

    Hi all

    is it possible to select items from master page by name or label (InDesign CS 5.5, javascript)?

    myPage.masterPageItems.???

    I tried a lot of combinations, for example.itemByName("NAME");.item("name"), but none of them worked for me. I was able to select a frame by its index ("... masterPageItems [0];").

    ... Grateful Jan for any advice!

    Jan,

    You can not. myPage.masterPageItems is table of page elementsand not a collection.

    You need to loop through all the elements of the master page and search for items you want,

    or find maybe apply the master page, and then do something like this:

    myPage.appliedMaster.pageItems.itemByName ("NAME");

    Hope that helps.

    Master Page Items question: I use master pages for a 60 page document and just found out that some of my master page items are multiplying! There are some boundaries on the pages, and some of them are constantly a quantity apparently without end on top of the other. For example, I replace to change the color of the border and notice a black there's below him so I deleted the extra and there is another and another and another... EEK. I can easily hide them, BUT I fear they will lead to complications in the case of pre-press printing. What is the cause? What can I do to prevent it? How can I get rid of the stack-up?

    It's always haapening, if you substitute any element on the page and later master you reapply the same or another master. I would NEVER say to replace any itme master page in the page. Instead create another master based on the first, make the substitutions and apply this master. Substitutions on the pages should be avoided in all cases, not only for the problem you described above, other issues of accessibility will also come into play.

  • Question about InDesign...

    Question about InDesign...

    If I'm currently editing a text and the edge of the box is a line of "in dotted blue" means that the text is locked for editing? If yes how do I change the text? When I try to click inside the text, that it doesn't allow me to type in the text box.

    The dotted blue line indicates that the item is on a Master Page. You can edit in the master page, or shift + command + click (mac) to open it on the page of your document.

    Best practice is to avoid having things on master pages that will need to be unlocked.

    Hello

    I don't know why he's not working on your side, because I am to play the tutorial in all browsers, however, I would suggest you to please try to delete the cache of your browser.

    And also to change your network if you are connected to a wifi.

    If none of them works, please try to uninstall the flash player and put it back, once the browser will ask you to do.

  • Editing Master Page items

    I have a logo on my pages that descends from a master page. Sometimes it is in the way of content, so I replace all elements of Masterpage and delete it. Then, later, I discovered that it's baaack. I thought that if I left the page in this substitution, master page items would not update. In a document of p. 112, which is put under press, this can be a problem for me.

    First of all, there is no reason to override all Master Page items. You need only replace the logo by Cmd-Shift-click it.

    Logo should not be back soon unless you reapply the master for other reasons. Can you give more information?

  • [CS5] Master page item affecting the spine

    Hello

    I get a weird behavior of CS5, where the program includes elements of master page wrong. I noticed this first on a file converted from CS3.

    I tried in vain to replicate this constantly in a new file. Master page items from time to time will appear on the opposite page if they affect the spine. Everyone knows something similar? Once this has happened once in the file, however, it doesn't go away. I have attached a three file idml page with just a few black boxes on the master page.

    http://www.sendspace.com/file/56hpgt

    It seems to me that the frame on the left is actually extending into the right page by a fraction of a millimeter which is samll as long as it is rounded to 0.

    If you select the check box to the left, set the ruler origin to the sovereign on the spine (for some reason, that which seems to be necessary), and then select a power of Attorney law-ege point in the transformation of the power of Attorney and re - enter 0 in the abscissa filed it seems to correct itself.

  • Master Page items view does not correctly

    I use the latest version of Muse and I have problems with my head on the master page.

    The home page and on the pages, everything looks great (on the desktop, I didn't design sensitive yet). If you click on an Antique floor, you can see the header gets biased (although on the master page, all items are pinned Centre and grouped) and also the word ABOUT does not appear correctly (hurt, not centered)

    I also had problems with the footer to be cut and not displaying not centered, in the yellow and white box type... instead, it was black type, hurt, no background, framed on the left. I got around the problem by placing one foot on each page, but as this site develops, it will be inconvenient.

    Here is my link:

    Thank you!

    Hi Peter,.

    Regarding "It was a known and fixed bug with the recent update from yesterday," so we did fix a bug with 2015.1.1 symptoms, we are also aware of another similar bug in this build.

    That the bug and the temporary workaround are mentioned in the link I posted above. I think that Lucy has already tried this work around that the current version of http://oldwoodworkshop.businesscatalyst.com/index.html#home is published with the edition of In-Browser disabled.

  • InDesign master page applies to pages that say they have none applied.

    Thus, while working with my master pages, I ran across an issue where even when I select a page without a master, she applies next to this page. See the images below. It's not on every Board, just two. I tried to deleted and by selecting only one next to reapply. I not had something like this in another post. It shows no applied, but the part surrounded by a circle is one of my master pages which.

    Untitled-1.jpgUntitled-2.jpg

    Check your data in the master page. The left page elements, which are connected with the right page (also grouped) and vice versa are displayed to the right or to the left document page, when the captain of the left side is applied to the left page. These elements are part of the left page and reached only on the border of this page.

    To resolve this problem, you must really be careful design elements stopped at the border of the page.

  • Need to fix the upstairs master page items on various page sizes?

    I'm creating wireframes in Indesign. I have a master page with menu, logos and others at the top of a web page (1024 x 768) of standard size. I want to create additional templates based on the same menu (etc.), but different lengths. (1024 x whatever) to show more content. But when I try to add a different size of master based on the main master he places the menu in the middle of the new page, not at the top. How can I keep the menu locked up? Thank you!

    Ok. Another layout did the trick.

  • On the Master Page items text wrapping

    RE: InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista

    Hello

    I inserted a chart on both of my master pages and a dressing applied to them.  However, on my document pages, my text wraps not around the chart.  (In the text frame Options dialog box, the box "ignore the text not dress" is not checked.)  I know that I can either replace my page master points (and reinsert the graphic) or Ctrl-Shift-click on the graph and forces the text to surround.  But this puts another link in the image of my paper... and I'm trying to minimize the size of the file.

    Do you have ideas on how to make the text wrap on the work of master pages to the pages of document?

    Skin on masters is not performed on the live pages in CS2. It was added as a feature of CS3.

  • Question of the Master Page Architecture

    New site needs a main page of the company, which then directs the customer to choose one of the two store restaurant locations which each will have its own pages with its options, somewhat different from the other chain store location.  What architecture will better serve this kind of situation?

    The name of your master pages are not relevant. Only, you see these names. You will need to set the page name in the page properties.

    I don't know what you mean by levels? On the plan view? If so, I would have probably a three-page senior level (hand, store 1 and 2 to store) and then direction from there. But it's really hard to say without knowing how many pages you have etc.

  • Relock the master page items

    How to block the elements of the master page on other pages? I made a page master one unblocked a block of text, then their personalized on each of the pages of the latter, but now I need to relock them because I have to move on a bit, and I want to train the master page.

    If you did nothing but edit the text, the positioning is always related to the master. Remove the override would undo the changes.
