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!

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.

This is a great book for beginners to InDesign.

    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 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

    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.

  • My navigation links on some pages and not on others. All bearings have a link page, in the master page.

    My navigation links on some pages and not on others. Only 2 of my 7 links work on the home page, 6 of the 7 work on another, and on other pages, they work. They are all together in the master and are linked to their corresponding page. No idea why?

    Layers. There is other content on top of your navigation. Even the transparent part of the other objects will block the mouse events to reach your NAV.

    At this point you probably just 'Layer 1' in the layers panel. Content on the layer 1 on the master page will always be behind the content on the layer 1 on the page to that master is applied.

    Create a 'layer 2' (which will be on top of the layer-1) and go to navigation. Now the navigation will be on top of the element on the layer 1 on your page and these elements will block are more mouse events to reach your NAV.

  • InDesign encounter error when locking of objects on the master page

    I have CS5 and love it. But after the moving objects on my master page between the layers (don't ask me why, just thought it might be a good idea) I can't lock without blocking InDesign objects (Ctrl-L). He meets a mistake and locks upward. I use the Task Manager to shut down and start over. You are not allowed to move objects on the master page between the layers? Do I need my mouse slapped?

    What is the error?

    Why do you need to lock the object? It should be locked on normal pages? I was wondering.

  • Bringing the master page in the front and sub navigation menu

    Hello

    I have two problems with my menu. I have my menus in a master page which was pinned to the top of the page and 'sent to the front', but when you view the pages with that master has been applied, the menu goes behind the content of the page. Is there a way to automatically move the master page in the face? Or do I need to copy and paste my menu for each page manually to adjust its location in the layers panel?

    This effect can also be found on Forecaddy

    My second question is the State of the menu 'active' for void menu items. When on the page projects of active state is how I want, with the grey wire dark around the item of menu "projects".projects.png

    But after clicking on a submenu item, I want the item menu 'projects' to stay active

    bike.pngsubmenu.png

    Is it possible to do it automatically using the menu widget?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    To answer your second question:

    • To change the active appearance of the menu items, you must change their appearance of States.

    To do this:

    • Double-click the master page that contains the menu widget
    • Click on the widget to select the full menu.
    • With the selected menu, move your cursor over one of the menu items (home, About Us, Contact us etc) and click on the menu item and view the States Panel.

  • You can use the States Panel to modify the appearance of:
    • Normal: inactive appearance that people will see when you do not see the page.
    • Turnover: the appearance that you will see when you move the mouse over a menu item.
    • The mouse down: the appearance when the mouse button is in the "low" position (clicked).
    • Assets: the appearance of your menu item have when someone visits this page.
  • Click the active state, make design changes required to select.
  • Note: By default "Edit together" is enabled for widgets menu, this means that the States of this edition a menu item will automatically apply the same setting to the rest of the menu items.

    To do this change the behavior edit together:

    • Click on the blue arrow at the top right of the widget to display the options.
    • Select or deselect change set.

    Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

    Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.


    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

    Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.

    I think that your posToInsertAt for IPageCmdData::Set is incorrect.

    If the doc does not have facing Pages, posToInsertAt = 1;

    If doc is facing Pages and page insertion is the left-hand Page, posToInsertAt = 2;

    If doc is facing Pages and insert page is the right Page, posToInsertAt = 1;

    posToInsertAt = spread-> GetNumPages();

    newDocCmd and newDocCmdData are not used, you can delete these.

  • Button state created the Master page properties not applying does not at all pages

    When I create a button and add a hyperlink to this button on my main page, the hyperlink properties do not apply to all other pages.  So when I test my Web site and click on the 'Services' button, it will take me to the page "Services".  However, since the 'Services' page the other buttons do not work.  Technically, they must work because EVERYTHING is created on the main page should apply to all pages, including linking them.  Is there a bug in the function?

    Hello

    This problem is usually caused when objects are located above the Navigation bar, so that you are unable to click on it.

    To resolve the issue:

    (1) open the master page with Muse

    (2) create a new layer using the layers panel

    (3) move the navigation bar at this new layer: select the navigation bar, click with the right button on it > go to layer

    4) to ensure that this new layer is on top

  • Cannot change the text in the Master Page

    I don't often work in InDesign.  I had created a template file for a book back in December 2011 (initially created in CS3).  I opened this file in CS6 today and did save as.  Now it's time to change a few things to customize for this new book.  So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak things.  But, I can't edit any text.  I can click on some pictures (not all), but no text is selectable or editable.  What in the world happened to my account?

    I have also returned for the final files for the book that I did in December (not the template file, the files of actual work).  Those who give me the same behavior.  Text that should be editable is not selectable.  Once again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text box.

    Is there a conversion that takes place opens a CS3 file to the CS6 which causes this?  How should I do?

    Thank you

    Matt Tyree

    You can always open the objects individually using either the layers panel (which is been updated, too), or by clicking on the lock icon on the object itself (near the upper left corner).

    That said, you'll be happier if you cahng Evos preferences to allow selection of locked objects. This essentially restores the beahvior you are used to see - post is locked, but you can still select and put the content in a frame.

  • How to edit a page that uses the layout of the master page?

    Hi I made a layout in the master page and its now on all pages, but I want on some pages of the stuff away but I can't edit this more or its not let me remove/resize or else its not let me I have just to see the layers I can turn their market but I there is no arrow I can click Open all that is inside.

    This is how works the master page. You cannot change the things that you put there on normal pages.
    On master pages, you should leave that parts of your layout which sholud look the same on each page. Other parts of the layout must be placed directly on the pages.

  • Align the tool path Rectangle frame on the master page

    I have the Master Page I place a rectangular frame tool.

    Then I copy and paste in a path logo.

    This right click > editing > Center.

    It would be the finished master.

    Then select a new page apply the master.

    I want then to scale/resize the rectangular frame, so using the selection tool, press Command SHIFT in, I click on the frame and the scale. Path Logo then is not automatically aligned to the center of this area.

    Is this possible?

    I've added a screen recording here

    Thank you very much

    Matt

    If I want to Center a logo on a page or somewhere else, I'm going a different path.

    1. Draw a text frame
    2. Place the logo (I use PDF/X-4 files or HAVE) on the page
    3. I drag the widget for reinforcement anchored in the text block.
    4. I apply a style object for the logo.
    5. In the object style I have configured the parameters of anchored frame that allows me to global, readjust the position of the logo by the evolution of the style object (or application of a different object style).
  • Menu on the master page.

    I have a question, I've done my menu on the master page and created all kinds of individual pages. Now, I want to be able to use the content in the site properties menu, so I could choose what is happening with my links page or after your visit. But because there are all the individual pages it reloads all the time and nothing happens. I hope I made clear what I mean and can someone tell me how to do it. So the objective is to have a menu on the master page, very simple just something like:

    link 1

    link 2

    link 3 (text) and they are on each page and I want to make them fat, when someone is on this page and I want to let them italic when someone visited this page.

    Thanks in advance!

    In the properties of your site, you can set the styles of link. Select that box for visited italics and "BOLD" box for the assets.

  • Add a link to the language at the top of each page; the master page logo does not...?

    I have a Logo in the master page, and all my pages have this logo, when it comes to adding a link of language on each page it only allows me to put a link and not several 'INTERLANGUAGE links to each of my pages in my Web site creation.

    NEED HELP FOR THIS... ANYONE...?

    I managed to do it myself, maybe I Specifies not or posed the question correctly; I've done the following:

    I caught the layer where the captain: which was the first right up and lowered down, which seemed to help me.  in so doing, I could add links to all my pages in the top left corner, because by the uprising of the page master layer with my logo at the top of the page on the op of all layers trumping any link I would put in all my other pages, by lowering the master page layer to the last section of the layers I was able to make the link in the upper left corner, without him be overshadowed or covered.

  • Bringing images of the master page to the front

    Well, I hope I can explain it clearly enough.

    I created something framed for mywebsite with a right-hand vertical menu.  Everything has been created with quite complex graphics and what I would like is for some content to put behind the images create my layout on the master page.  But as I understand it, whatever it is created on the master page is locked and moved into the background.  To compensate for this I had to cut the PNG files, resize them and before them ontop of the content.  It's awkward, and the images don't align exactly leaving jagged edges.  I feel that I do a more difficult life for me, so is it not bring all the images and links towards the front of the page master?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can use the layers feature in Muse to bring the elements of the master page to the front. If you want to wear all the content of the master page to the front, the easiest way is to put all the master page content in a layer and put layer tha at the front.
