    Thanks, Graham. Tried both of those but no luck. If I set preferences, will I lose all my shortcuts etc? I tried creating a brand new document but it seems that guides on master page pasteboard simply won’t show in the document pasteboard – would that be right?

    Thanks for your response, Graham. Not quite sure where that tick box is, but I’m not using multiple layers anyway. When I draw guides on the master page they show on the document pages OK, but if I draw one outside the actual page area [to indicate bleed margins] they don’t show on the document pages

    If you paste as Ctrl+V from an outside application [Word, NotePad or whatever] it will adopt your default style in a new box or the style of the text in an existing box. If you are copying from an existing InDesign box you can paste as Ctrl+Shft+v and this will retain the format of the text you are copying, whether into a new or existing box. Does that help?

    Set up your document with the specified dimensions. Draw guides on the pasteboard 5mm outside each edge and ensure that any images or coloured areas that need to be cropped extend, at least, to these boundaries. The crop marks for the printer are created in the print [or PDF export] settings. Check ‘Crop Marks’ You don’t need any ‘offset’ but you can specify it to give a larger blank area outside the artwork, if you wish. and set the ‘bleed’ as 5mm top, bottom, left and right. Hope this helps.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I am not familiar at all with using scripts :(

    I suppose you’ll have to delete the images one at a time to find the problem one.

    Sorry didn’t read the problem properly. If the other pages are OK there is clearly something on the rogue page it doesn’t like. What does it comprise, exactly?

    There could be a multitude of reasons. I get this sometimes and simply do a restart and it’s OK.

    Ah, I see. If you store the pages you need to change as a separate indd file can you not then insert them wherever needed in the document then make changes outside of it?

    You cab always place one inDesign document into another within a standard graphic box [instead of an image] A dialogue box will ask which page, if there are multiple pages. That way any changes in the imported documents will be applied throughout. Hope this helps.

    Could you make a copy of the original doc and then delete the pages you don’t want?

    Quite a big subject. Could you post link to a pdf of the current design.

    In the Export PDF dialog, there are options to check Pages or Spreads. Any good?

    I would create the print version [facing pages] first. Presumably you will create a PDF for the print version. This would need crop marks if there is any ‘bleed’ [images extending right to the edge of the page]. You can then create the online PDF either as single pages or spreads. The PDF settings will allow you to dispense with the crop marks.

    Hi Andrew.

    The PDF can be A4. It can be re-sized as you wish in a displayed in browser or viewer. The important thing is to embed the fonts so they enlarge properly.

    You should set the document as individual ‘facing pages’ for print. When you make the PDF, export it as ‘spreads’ so each pdf ‘oage’ is actually two facing pages.

    When you set the margins, you can specify a wider ‘inside’ value to allow for the binding.

    Hope this helps.

    :o)
