MemberWow, Kelly – that’s quite complex!
I read through it and now I’m going to try it on my own with my design and see if I can make it work. Its not exactly what I’m trying to do, but maybe I can base something off of this.I’ll keep you posted – thanks so much!
MemberAt that point, seems almost as much word as doing it manually… what would be the advantage? In case pages move?
MemberThanks, Eugene.
I’m going to take a look at that – never done it before.
I’ll post if I need more help.MemberAnnette:
Have you come up with anything?
The cookbook I’m working on is almost done (a lot of feet dragging on the client’s side) and they are giving it over to someone else to do the conversion, but from the people I spoke to who work in the field, its going to be an enormous job. But it is something I’d love to know how to do myself…MemberThanks, David. I’ll look into that.
What I did in the end was use quick apply as I went through to try and make it go faster… but it didn’t help so much:
My chapter head was a master B and the quick apply automatically went to Master A with a double spread. I tried dragging the order on the masters panel to see if it would pick up the first on the list, but it didn’t. So with having to change the master and also the page to apply it to, it was faster to just drag it down like I always do. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to speed this up without a plug-in (which I plan on trying out in any case…)Thanks.
MemberThat was fast – I used it again today to typeset a diary-style book. It was fantastic!
Now if the people typing up the Word file would be 100% consistent, that would make life EVEN easier.MemberI copied and pasted that image link and I saw your sample – so you’re OK as far as that goes.
But I don’t have a grey bar solution…MemberThis just happened to me today as a result of deleting a page. The right-hand page took on a master page that was originally a left-hand master and I got that message. I still don’t know why, but I did undo and then just dragged down the correct masters instead of deleting a page and it was OK.
April 29, 2014 at 12:05 am in reply to: Applying a Paragraph Style found after 3 hard returns #68176MemberDwayne – that was a fantastic idea.
It worked amazingly (only shame is that I had already done everything by hand due to upcoming deadline and lack of immediate responses :))That will certainly come in handy in the future as I do a lot of typesetting.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of space before on my own! I was thinking that if I did space after, I would have to find all the last paragraphs before new sections… Feeling silly :) I added that now as well and its great.
I can’t thank you and Kimmi enough for your help!
As a side, they have no plans to print as an ebook but I guess its always good to have the file set up properly in case they change their mind.
MemberYes, I was in GREP and its set to document, but you’re smart for asking :)
Here’s a sample of the text:
…they were raising funds to build showed the building surrounded by trees that weren’t included in the plan. (<end par. here – what regular search and replace would write as ^p)
(<end par. here)
(<end par. here)
A poor person came…. (this is where the “first paragraph” style is supposed to be applied)MemberThanks for the reply, Kimmi.
I tried it and it cannot find a match :( Any other ideas?
MemberWho’dve thunk….
MemberDavid,
The post says:
“If your document is destined for the screen or an inkjet printer (or perhaps even a laser printer output), then RGB is likely the best choice. If you’re printing to a press, then choose CMYK.”Why is RGB best for an inkjet printer? Don’t they have the 4 CMYK colors?
MemberI had this also a few times. I also couldn’t figure out how it happened. But I ended up resetting the Master page (even if it was correct, just re-inserting the correct dimensions) and then dragging that down on the problematic pages. There probably is a better way of doing it, but I couldn’t get anything else to work.
Good luck!
