MemberHello Jongware:
I appreciate your point. I had visitied Elizabeth's blog some time time ago, and couldn't get a clue to another issue after several posts.
I also have Elizabeth's ePub book, which is a good primer, but doesn't always have a solution.
MemberThanks Sarah:
I'll investigate this.
Eden
MemberYes. It's the iPad.
I still would appreciate personal help from someone on this blog. I could provide the page and accompanying CSS.
Thanks again.
MemberAnne-Marie:
Thanks for your detailed response.
BTW: your lynda.com training videos are personable and excellent.
Eden
MemberThanks for the informative link. It offered a workaround solution!
MemberYes, it is yet another strange issue.
I do see that I can change the bleed from the print dialog box. I presume changing the bleed won't affect my margins or gutter areas.
I need the pages of my pdf book to be 8.75″ x 11.25″ — which is the reason for the 0.125 bleed all around.
On a related note: in the print dialog box, dimensions keep defaulting to picas instead of inches—and it is inches that I want. How do I set this up so that inches are the default here?
In preferences, my ruler units for horizontal and vertical are set to inches.
Thanks.
MemberThanks Jeldrik for the insights. I appreciate them.

MemberHi Jeldrik:
Many thanks for going the extra mile in helping me to resolve this technique.
Putting my ePub together is a puzzle, which I'm slowly putting together.
Be well,
Eden
MemberHello:
Here's what I see in the xhtml file; the art caption and the graphic are grouped. From this, I don't see how how they match either, but then again, I'm a novice in this regard.
<p class=”art-caption” xml:lang=”en-us”><span class=”no-style-override-4″>Okyo</span> </p>
</div>
<div class=”generated-style-2″>
<img class=”generated-style-2″ src=”images/okyo_fmt.jpeg” alt=”missing image file”/>
</div>
Also, the sample link you provided get garbled into some sort of strange code:
PK5'=O§W¥ýMETA-INF/container.xmlU?Á
Â0Dï…þCÈUjô‚g¿`M·L²!IEÿÞX´ØãÎ왶{:Ë“!¯øv½áÝ®®êªÕä3qùeÅï“âcô’ ™$=8L2kI}Ozt賜lr†ðMemberHello Jeldrik:
I appreciate the clarification.
I followed your instructions. When I view my test doc in ADE or Calibre, the graphic remains to the left margin, and isn't centered.
Here's the css for that style. I also included Op5 space before and after, but that doesn't appear to show up on this code.
} margin: 0.56em 0em; color: #000000; text-align: center; text-indent: 0em; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; line-height: 1.20em; font-size: 0.75em; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-family: “Adobe Caslon Pro”;p.center-object-style }
Thanks,
Eden
MemberHi Jeldrik:
Yes, you understand my question, and ePub is what I have in mind.
1) What steps are necessary to create a center only paragraph style?
2) How can I select the graphic with the text tool? Are you referring to an anchored inline object that you cut, then paste, and then center?
Thanks,
Eden
MemberWhen designing my own book, I used Barcode Maker from Teacup Software. This plug-in might be helpful to you. I think you can download a free trial.
MemberI understand now. None of my styles are group folders.
I created a new book with my files and that did allow me to finally export to ePUb. However, the file with the TOC, except for an image and some text, is ignored. As there is no need for a traditional TOC, I'm presuming InDesign is ignoring these pages—and it's not an error of some kind.
MemberJohn:
So, where then do you store your TOC-related styles? And how does InDesign know where to look for these styles outside the paragraph styles palette?
Also, would you please see my question (a couple of posts up) to David Blatner about my disappearing TOC style. Do you have any insight into this?
Thanks,
Eden
MemberDavid Blatner said:Not sure… people don't usually put a toc page in their epub because the epub file can have its own TOC. Create a TOC Style (from layout menu). You don't even have to place your toc in your document. But choose the TOC Style when exporting the epub, so that it shows up in the epub reader as a real toc.
I “think” I'm beginning to understand the concept.
As you suggested, I created a new TOC style. Since the ePub export only looks at level 1 styles, I configured the new style to include the chapter number and chapter title on level 1 so both items would display in the ePub version—this sound logical, but I don't know if it would work.
Then, I got as far as saving the style, which, for some reason no longer showed up in the TOC style pull down menu. After creating the style, I didn't place it into a document, as you noted.
And, of course, the new style doesn't show up as option in the ePub export dialog box. So, where is this new style hiding?
Thanks,
Eden
