Reply To: 1st post — advice needed please: Book vs. long doc?

@Nijoelizna

i've made a few Thesis books (usually no more than 150-180 pages), and i prefer to use the book function.

Be sure to build a template, with all paragraphstyles etcetera allready made.

It saves tons of annoying textreflows that otherwise would stretch out in your entire longdocument.

When i make a magazine (with the help of colleages) we all have our own copy of a basic document (made up with the proper styles and ofcourse master-pages.) Lots of single pages even cluttered together!

When everything is complete, then i move the pages from one document to a entirely new copy of the basic document created in the beginning. Thus getting an endresult which i send out to the printer.

Important!

Remember to update all your styles in one document to the other. (in the book function it's a feature, when using just different copy's import styles via the fly-out menu in the specific panel)

Lots of things you just can't predict during the build of your first basic document so being precise with styles is very important.

Good luck!
