MemberAbsolutely agree @OnPoint it's a shift away from the way master pages were used in Quark (which is still hung onto by some users).
I tend to always use master pages for folios and page 'furniture' that is constant aside from that I find using snippets far more flexible.
Alot does depend on workflow of course.

I am sorry but I have no sympathy for you sending an unchecked file in IDML and saying its because of time constraints is akin to turning into the wind and emptying your bladder.
As David says why did you not send a pdf file to print?? A recognised, tried and tested and SAFE workflow.
It is years since I sent a native file to print.
Helpful, nope, thanks, nope. Oh and well done for re-iterating the experts advice, how clever you are. Did that make you feel a little less inadequate for a few minutes.
Cheers all the best now :)
MemberI do like to use Book with long docs, although if you have one page chapters I would probably split the doc into larger parts, my approach to building a document is not solely reliant on master pages for all features although using multiple master pages for different pages is good, I do also like to heavily use snippets of entire pages to build it keeping consistency with Object styles as well as Text styles.

MemberWell you seem to know what you want, so there you go, a MacPro it is.
Member@mckayk Sounds like the behaviour of a symbol in Illustrator and Flash, I may be wrong though
@ jimmy perhaps a better workflow for such logos would be to use them as placed illustrator files, then at least you could amend the external placed file and simply update it in the ID document
find and replace can be very powerful as David mentions too
MemberHave you consider a Big high end iMac I know alot of people going in that direction rather than MacPro, our studio just went that way and for publishing I see no draw backs at all, fill up an i7 with as much ram as you can afford and you have a serious publishing machine, defo MacPro if you are dealing with video but otherwise I get great performance with CS5 and the iMac
January 5, 2011 at 3:37 am in reply to: baseline grid change in master text frame impossible to sync accross documents in a book #58292MemberYou appear to be using Indesign master pages like they are used in older versions of Quark, best not to.
Use object styles to save the text box style with your new baseline grid, text styles etc. then you can sync this across your book file.
MemberSorry if that comes across a bit “trollish”, eek, I didn't mean it to, but I hardly ever use the font size list drop down menu. And if you often use certain settings in your work, then make styles to speed up your flow.
MemberMay I suggest typing in the desired size, or maybe creating styles.
MemberThanks David for the skinny on distillation.
It generally is for making small pdfs to send to clients and pdf output for print is done from ID, I shall carry on exporting directly and some of my colleagues will no doubt plough on with distiller (will this still be possible in CS5?).
Would I be right in saying you can lose all colour management too when making a .ps file?
MemberIt won't work as an anchored box.
Use paragraph rules, one above and one below thick enough and offset so they meet in the middle, if your paragraph grows more lines you will need to change the rules but you would need to change the box size in your above scenario anyway.
Another way would be to be to convert the paragraph into a single cell table, this will expand if you change the paragraph but you do loose the text flow into the table, although its easy enough to change back to text then back again to table.

November 25, 2010 at 5:41 am in reply to: Buried spread — neither true centre nor facing pages #57900MemberThe first thought I had on this is to make the 'pullout' section a separate document, then set the section start accordingly so you have a true spread that comprises of pages 18 and 23. Keep the two documents together by using Book.
It just feels like a cleaner method.
MemberThats it! Thanks Jongware.
Now to get the boss to pay for it :)
