Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberRobert, are you talking about how your anchored graphics are flowing in print or in an epub?
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberFWIW, in CS6 you'll still have to include this style in your TOC style in order for that text to appear in the Navigational TOC in the EPUB. Setting a style to break upon EPUB export has nothing to do with the TOC *text* in the nav TOC, it just forces a new entry there. (If you dont' use a TOC style or include it in the style, ID uses the name of the layout with a suffix like -1, -2, etc.)

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberThe TOC style needs to be saved in the Style Source document in the book panel, even if the TOC itself is flowed into a different document.
From the Book panel, open the style source INDD file, go to Layout > Table of Contents Styles, and make sure your TOC style is listed there.
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberExport the new doc to PDF, then open the old PDF, and use Acrobat's “Replace Pages” feature to swap out the old pages with the new ones. Your bookmarks will remain intact in the PDF.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMembernope, nothing.
For now all we can do is export to EPUB, edit for Kindle specs, and then run it through Kindle Previewer.
AM
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberWow I'll check that out asap!
I'm assuming it's using the new features in the MOBI8 (KF8/Kindle Fire ver of the MOBI file format) spec.
I've been saying it for months, EPUB and DPS are starting to merge … at least the display and interactive features …

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberWow what a great comment! Thank you!
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberAll too true, there are plenty of places where Adobe docs could be much clearer.
That's where InDesignSecrets.com comes in :D
If you've figured out how Adobe *should* write this up, and have some writing talent, contact me and/or David off-list and let's do an eBook about it!

February 29, 2012 at 6:43 pm in reply to: What's the best way to wrap an image (+captions) for epub export? #61718Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberamsprt, I answered this in your original post on the forum:
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberThe image has to be anchored in the story in order for InDesign to recognize it. If it's not anchored, it gets exported in page order (either before or after the entire text contents of the story), and there's nothing to wrap around it.
Second, I haven't tested, but I'm certain you can't do anything other than a rectangular wrap in an EPUB. So even if you anchored it, the CSS that controls wrapping (look for a “float:” attribute) would only have a single side measure for the offset.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI'll be writing a blog post about this shortly (and I discuss it in Podcast 167) but I wanted to mention that Peter Kahrel helped me out w/a project by writing an “add-on” to preptext.jsx, which I've called “PerfectPrepText.jsx.”
It's for working around the problem I originally posted at the top, that is, for running on InDesign-styled text that has local formatting you want preptext to affect (but not affect already-styled text). It requires preptext.jsx but before running it, it “neutralizes” applied styles, runs preptext, then re-constitutes the styles.
The Zip file comes with a couple permutations that I hope to explain (if not self-explanatory) in a post.
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberFlopsy, sorry, I've never seen that in InCopy. Maybe details would help.
What version of InDesign and InCopy?
Does this happen to every document this particular InCopy user works on?
Can other InCopy users replicate the same problem?
Is the InCopy user opening an assignment (ICML ) the InDesign file (INDD)?
AM
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI don't remember which version they partially fixed this; but in CS5.5 the text will wrap in the same line as the anchor (as shown in my screen shot above). But the wrap is still ignored in lines above the anchor insertion point.
AM
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberThat is correct, it's a long standing failing for inline wraps. The only solution is to anchor the graphic in the line preceding where you want the object to wrap, and then after you paste it in, drag it downward with the Selection tool. In some cases (depending on the design) you can create an empty paragraph just above the one where you want the image to appear and wrap, paste the image into that empty paragraph, and then change the paragraph's size and leading to .001 (as tiny as possible) so that the space between the paragraphs appears to close up. It's easiest if you use a paragraph style for those “invisible” paragraphs; and use the Story Editor to work with it after the fact.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI really love the narrative in this thread! What a community. If we made a commercial for InDesignSecrets I think just scrolling through the posts from top to bottom would be a Clio winner. :D Thank you so much, jongware, especially! (And collywolly to the rescue!)
