    Hope you escaped any hurricane damage.
    Did you try Calibre? What happens if you export to Kindle directly from InDesign?
    I’m going offline for the rest of the day now but if you’re still having problems I’ll make a test on one of my files tomorrow.

    Do I take it you are trying to hyperlink a grouped object (image-caption) to a toc-style list (index) of images? The first thing I’d do is to import your ePub into Calibre and convert it to a mobi file. See what’s happening there with the code. But of course you may have already gone the best route which is to post your question on a Kindle forum. I’m not on a Mac so it’s hard for me to diagnose.

    Is it possible to get a fixed-layout out of CS6?

    Thanks Larry, my apologies for not Googling it before asking. Interesting concept.

    I don’t understand where this 10 original illustrations comes from? In any event you can certainly make a chapter with images only but you’ll have to be able to work with the ePub code first in order for it to convert to Kindle without problems.

    Update: You may have already worked this out but I realized why my div solution wasn’t working—too long since I worked with code. Grouped objects already have a div surrounding them. Give it a class and the css property of “page-break-before – always” and that does the job.

    Well that didn’t take long. It’s a kludge but…. I added a page break after the last line of text before the grouped caption/image in the main text flow. After the page break, which is now the end of a story, I added a para before the end of story marker, style the same as the “caption” (although I can’t believe that matters) and anchored the group to it. Low and behold it pushed the group onto a new page in the ePub.

    Hi Jeannie,
    I played with this for a couple hours but couldn’t make it work. I’ll keep trying but no guarantee. Is there any problem with increasing the frame of the map to include the headline and then selecting “insert page break – before” in the image box of the export dialogue?

    in reply to: Text with images not exporting correctly #88323

    Sorry for the delay. If you are at all comfortable with code, you can solve this problem by putting the map and text in a <div>. You can also try grouping first then anchoring the group. Here’s how I did it: make a paragraph style with center, space before 2px, space after 8px (spaces are obviously adjustable later, they’re there to make anchoring easier). Put a new para below the two frames (not a new frame) with the para style just created. Now group the two frames. Then anchor them (there will now be only one anchor for the group), inline, to the new para symbol (position). This almost always works but I’m told the div solution “always” does (but not in mobi [kindle]).
    <div>
    <p class=”image”></p>
    <p class=”caption”>Caption text</p>
    </div>

    One of the constant irritations encountered when exporting from ID to ePub. Before going on please say if the text associated with the map is in its own frame.

    Hi Rivkah,

    My book is image heavy with sidebars but only a couple of tables. I did see the example. If you’d like to see the result download the Kindle Textbook Creator and then I’ll send you the file.

    I don’t know if this is what you’re after but I work in CS6. First, export to PDF and ensure you’re happy with the result. Then go to the Kindle site and use their tool to create what they call a Kindle Textbook. This is really just their version of a fixed-layout ePub. I did it a few months back. Problem is, you can’t distribute that file (or mess with it) yourself, it’s only available through Amazon.

    Cheers, Paul
