MemberHi Joe, I think the masterpages with a running header is the way to go here. With different masterpages created you still have to manually adjust the document but since you can apply a masterpage to a selection of pages I think it remains workable. Keep away from the tableheader solution, that’s not the way to go. The ideal solution is probably a script but since this is a very specific topic I don’t think you will find one off the shelf.

MemberHi Joe,
if the header is always above the text you could work with a separate textframe above the threaded text frame. Place the header textframe onto a masterpage and you can change the content using the section-variable.
Hopes this works for you,
Regards,

MemberCan you perform a search for the text, include hidden/locked layers and masterpages, so you can locate the text. See if there is no hidden textflow. Then do a search on the paragraph style of the title that is used to fill the TOC and see if the text comes out.

MemberWhy on earth would you do that? What’s the goal?

MemberHi Jim, as you described, this is how InDesign works. You can however set the page margins exactly like the text frames, so making two columns with the right margins. The the text will flow accordingly. Another option is to split the word doc into different stories.

MemberHi Steve, don’t be lazy, I gave you the solution already. This is just a workaround.

MemberHi Steve, take a look at ‘Row Strokes’ and ‘Column Strokes’ in the Table Style options window. Choose ‘Every other row/column’ and put the color to ‘None’. Manual tweaking avoided! If you wan’t to share the profit, always welcome ;-)

MemberHi Trista, you can create a paragraph style with a numbered list (create a new one called ‘chapter number’). Use this on your first masterpage, it will be numbered ‘1’. Now duplicate that masterpage and it will be numbered ‘2’ and so on. One other method is to work with sections, changing each section on the page where a new chapter starts.

MemberHi Frans, it seems you put every chapter in a story. The keep-options and begin-of-paragraph-options are best used when you keep every chapter in one long document. This way you only have to insert pages at the end of the document if needed.

MemberDisconnect from the internet en start indesign, see what happens.

MemberHey Ann, I see your still buzzy with the book document. I’ll guess you need the grep find and replace. First you have to make a character style for the upperscript or subscript and then search for CO2 defining the two as a variable and replace the variable with itself and the just made characterstyle. Makes sense to you?

MemberYou have to create another paragraph-style for the preface with a new defined list. Copy the title style and only create a new list like you did before.

MemberAlways put text on top. Text that is placed under transparency will get pixelated.

MemberDon’t forget to update the numbering in the book-window.

MemberAnn, I was wrong. That option is for the page numbering. You have to adjust an option in the paragraph style. Go to ‘Bullets and Numbering” and create a new list for that style. A popup window appears, there you can choose wether the numbering should continue on the next story and documents in a book.
