      Hi

      I would like some input on a problem at hand.

      Please look at this picture:

      It is a book my company has been tasked to make. At the momment I do not know how the manuscript is delivered, but I have been told that we are able to influence how it is generated.

      I have no problems with making the body text, but I need to find the best way to make the items I have marked in the screen dump.

      Either through some plugin, scripting or other methods, which you clever people can come up with.

      Hope somebody has some good input.

      Have you tried the “achored object” method? You can create a text frame, make it an “achored object”, link it to the main text (rectacle on top of the text frame). It will follow the text, and you can put it anywhere you want on the page.

      Hi Gert

      I have not tried the anchored method yet. Is there a way to make it automatically shift sides based on left and right pages?

      Hi Jimmy,

      Yes that's pretty easy (you might have found it already) in cs6, option drag the frame with the header into it's anchor point in the main flow. In the dialog that opens you can select “relative to spine”. The frame and its content can be partly controlled through styles, but what I miss is the ability to define margin paragraphs in the styles.

      Cheers.
