ParticipantThank you, Stacey.
This works for an individual file. Can I set this with InDesign (when no document is open) and make this the default for EVERY InDesign document?
ParticipantStill fiddling with this after three days. Getting ready to commit suicide. I even opened a template someone sent. Figured that as easier than doing it from scratch, since nothing works.
Anyway … the introductory paragraph at the TOP of the page could be three to seven lines long. Drop down several spaces for the story title. Then drop down a few more for the first story paragraph. So instead of a Chapter Number, we have “Intro paragraph”, instead of Chapter Title, we have “Story Title,” and then the lead paragraph is still the lead.
The lead paragraph on occasion stays where it’s intended to be. But the chapter title keeps wandering. Apparently it uses a “Space before” and a “Space after,” which means as story title it’s going to wander, rather than remaining fixed.
I dunno … I’m feeling pretty stupid at this point. Perhaps it would work best to just create different text boxes, flow and get on with it.
ParticipantI’m fiddling with it, but not working.
Instead of Title and first paragraph being 1 and 2 … they’re 2 and 3 … The Little Italicized Paragraph At Top is the culprit. Maybe the author will just have to find another way to impart information about the story.
ParticipantCould be … the custom baseline pushes the story title down, but not the first paragraph.
There’s TWO paragraphs … an italicized paragraph at top, the story title, and then the lead paragraph, which is actually the first paragraph of the story. Unless I just use a “Space Before” for the Lead parapgraph.
ParticipantDoesn’t seem to work. The introductory text pushes the title down, so everything else moves down. The title will have to be in a fixed position, and the chapter title and the lead paragraph.
ParticipantHmmm … Thanks for the tip. Maybe I’ll make the grey swatches … but I’ll keep them in the template, so I’m not always creating new ones. Sometimes, when I import material from contributors, I also several crap styles and swatches. Maybe there’s a way to corral incoming styles and flame them before they taint the finished document.
ParticipantOkay .. One section is numbered 330-359 … but it should be 328-357 … The “start section” box is checked by greyed out … but “automatic page numbering” and “same as previous document in the book” are checked.
ParticipantOkay …In “Overprint preview,” the outlined text vanishes.
However, if I type the text and don’t outline it, it stays visible in overprint preview.
Also, if I type the text in Adobe Illustrator and import it, text stays visible in overprint preview.
Not certain why this is an issue, but I’ll avoid outlining text if need be.
ParticipantYes … several documents in a Book panel. I see that the master page with the updated folio was added to the other documents. But the old master document (with the incorrect text variable) is still in use. I hoped the synchronize feature with override the old master pages, not add an additional master page. Now I’ll have to go through and apply the correct master to every page.
ParticipantThe text disappeared in Overprint Preview. Behind it is a photoshop graphic (a cover painting) saved as CMYK (although RGB made no difference). There are no transparency effects applied, or anything else. Transparency blend is set to CMYK.
The only thing that made a difference was removing the OUTLINES and typing the logo again. The time I placed editable text with the same yellow tint, and it does NOT disappear in Overprint Preview. So, I suppose the answer is: I can’t use outlined text?
Outlined Text has been one of the oldest tools in my arsenal. Outline it, stretch it, resize it, no problem! Until now. I suppose I’ll have to type everything in Illustrator, or just use plain text with InDesign.
ParticipantOh, and the color has “process” selected, NOT “spot.”
ParticipantWhen I apply values like C 100 M 90 Y 10 K 0, the result is a bluish logo that successfully imports to a JPEG. Also checked “embed color profile” and “simulate overprint.”
When I switch back to C 0 M 0 Y 60 K 0, the type vanishes in the JPG. So, is that the solution? C 01 M 01 Y 60 K 01 to simulate the pale yellow color, thus creating the separations it desires?
In “separations preview,” the yellow type vanishes, but the bluish type seems to get darker.
