Yeah–that sometimes happens. You can only nudge it up or down so far.

You will probably have to select the anchored object and then go to the menu bar and select the anchored object settings and fiddle with that. You may need to select above line and control it that way.

What you basically want to do is select the anchored box. Then (this is what I do)–use your keyboard down key and move the box down. The box will go down and the text will rise up. Then–making sure the anchored box is active–put a text wrap on the right-hand side; this will ensure the text aligns on the right.

I can’t help so far as a recommendation for the margins you should use, but recommend you check with the person who is going to be printing it.

So far as facing pages–if you select facing pages, then you will get a right- and a left-handed page. The master page will appear as a spread. The margins will be correct.

For example, if you had entered a 6 pica outside margin and a 4p6 inside margin, both pages will have those margins, so you won’t need to manually adjust them.

^^You are very welcome. I had the same exact same problem years ago–for some reason that other box was checked. I was about ready to tear my hair out before I figured it out.

This may not apply, but we had a file a few years back where ID was crashing when the customer was inserting footnotes. We had supplied the designer with a tagged text file to import.

Anyway, after much hand-wrangling by said client and me getting blamed for the crashes because they were certain we had tagged somethign wrong, I looked at the designer’s ID file.

The designer was using single-line composer AND had checked the box so that hyphenated words could not break across columns/pages. What was happening was InDesign got stuck–it couldn’t avoid that hyphen at the end of the one page.

So I told the designer to either use paragraph composer or to allow hyphenation.

After that she had no problems whatsoever.

I never did get an apology…

Masood–yup–you’re right. But, as David said, technically they are separate frames placed into one.

But–it is a good workaround.

I don’t see how you can do it if you can’t manipulate the text in some way.

There’s probably an easier way than what I’m going to suggest, but this is all I can think of (to avoid reapplying styles).

1) Make a copy of your “Main Menu” file.

2) Append the style sheets from your “Take Out” file to that copy.

By doing that, that file copy will now have the “take out” style sheet definitions, which will match your “Take Out” file.

3) Copy and paste from that file into your “Take Out File.”

That way, you original file is the same, and the style sheets from the Take Out and the copied Main Menu file will be okay.

When you’re done copying and pasting, just throw away the Main Menu copy.

Does this make sense?
