Exclude Master Pages From RH8 Search

Is there a way to exclude master pages from RH8 searches? There is no option in the Master Page properties as with topics.
What I did: I created a Master Page to add a "Download PDF version" link to the PDF version of the Help, in the same way that RJ Jacquez did in his "Web 2.0 Documentation using Adobe AIR and RoboHelp 8 OnDemand Recording" tutorial. The difference is that Jacquez's sample used an image as the link, while I used text.
Problem: "Download PDF version" is prepended to all search results (in the context line).
The obvious workaround is to replace the text with an image representation instead. But I thought I would ask the question about master pages and searches anyway.

Hi Jason
I think you misunderstood me. Note that Master Pages may be used in different ways.
They may be used as a starting off point for a topic. You create the topic, and much like a Word template, the Master Page partially builds the topic by having certain elements already in place. From there forward, you customize the topic to your needs. Subsequent changes to the Master Page have zero effect on any topics created from them.
They may also be used to configure a Header and a Footer. You then associate the Master Page with the Header, Footer or both to several or all topics to give the associated topics the Header or Footer information from the Master Page. In this case, subsequent changes to the Header or Footer in the Master Page DO actually appear in all associated topics.
I was talking about the latter option. I wasn't suggesting you move things into the HTML Head area of the topic.
Cheers... Rick

[IDCS2-JS] Excluding Master Pages from Search

Hi,
Is there a way to exclude text in the master page in search?
I'm running a script that will search a list of words that will search a book then insert page references for an index. But using app.search includes the master page, how can I limit the search?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
ah, I should have read this in your title.
I am afraid this property isn't available in CS2.
So you will have the check every found item, whether one of it's parents is a masterPage.

Exclude Baggage Files From RH8 Search

Hi...
I have noticed that you can exclude pages from appearing in
the RH8 search (Topic Properties > Exclude From Search), but are
you also able to do this with baggage files? (now that RH8 indexes
those too).
I have a large number of PDF baggage files, but dont want
these to appear in the search.
Thanks...

Hi Mat
Unfortunately Baggage files are immune from Conditional Build
tagging. I would strongly encourage you and others to pester Adobe
with Wish Forms asking for ability to apply CBTs to baggage
content.
Click
here to visit the Wish Form
Until this feature emerges as part of the RoboHelp feature
set, the best you can probably do is to place the files inside a
folder in baggage where you can occasionally sneak behind
RoboHelp's back and rename the folder temporarily so RoboHelp
doesn't know about it. This would effectively exclude the files.
Once finished with the special build, rename the folder back
to what it was.
Cheers... Rick

Replace vertical navigation in custom master page from snippet gallery

Hi.
I'm creating a new master page from seattle.master and I'm trying to implement a customized snippet from the snippet gallery into the master page code without success. The following line is straight from a seattle.master page:
<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">
From here, I see where I think the replacement snippet should go; however, there are discrepancies between the structure of the snippet and the code I'm replacing. Also, the snippet from the gallery is calling some ASP registrations that I
don't see in the original master page code.
How can I insert my custom vertical navigation snippet into this master page?

Hi,
You want to replace the entire <div id="sideNavBox" /> found in your custom HTML Master Page. Your custom vertical navigation will need to replace the entire container and all of its child controls.
Your custom vertical navigation snippet should start similar to:
<div data-name="QuickLaunch">



<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">
Design Manager's snippet manager adds the Register tags into the snippet so that the snippet is self-contained. Your HTML Master Page likely contains these Register tags already but you can leave them as Design Manager will handle any duplicates for you.
The structure of the snippet itself appears different because the seattle.html HTML Master Page includes modifications.

Copy single master page from one document to another?

The answer to a previously posted question seems to involve creating a document differently (than I had). A lot of work went into the creation of the master pages in the original document which I will now need to recreate in the new document. Is there a way I can copy one master page from one document to another?
Many thanks,
Theresa

There are a number of ways to do this.
Create a copy of the document you want to copy the Master page from. Delete all pages except for the one you want (but you have to leave Right and Left alone as FM must always have these two pages available).
Open the new document and the one that you want to import the master pages from.
In the new document:
Import from Document: (select the document with the Master Page that you want)
then
File > Import > Formats
and select Page Layouts only.
Note that Right/Left always come along for the ride.
Alternative and probably best way to get a single Master Page:
In new document, add a new Master Page and select "Empty".
In the old document, on the desired Master Page, Select All on page (ctrl+A) and then copy (ctrl+v).
In the new document on the new master page, paste (ctrl+v) to add the layout. Note: you may need to rotate the page first if it isn't in the same orientation as in the old document.

Can I copy a Master Page from one document to another?

Hi - this might be a basic question, but I haven't figured out the answer yet. I have one .muse site with a Master Page that I used... I want to use that same Master Page on another .muse site that I'm working on. Is there a way I can copy the Master Page from the finished site into the other one that I'm working on?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Blair

Hi Blair,
You should be able to do this by simply selecting (Ctrl+A) and copying (Ctrl+C) all content of the Master page of Site1 and Paste in Place (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V) in the Master page of Site2.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Exclude some pages from page numbering

Hey,
I create an RTF template to produce PDF output.
I want to exclude some pages from the page numbering.
Does someone know how this may be possible?
Thanks for your assistance
brgds,
David DC

I think I was "nearly" able to achieve what you want to achieve.
I used Word 2003 - just in case and 5.6.x (hope it doesn't matter).
You need to create two section breaks:
Page 1
--- Section Break ---
Page2 - No page numbering
--- Section Break
Page 3- (which will show page number 2).
For the first page you can pretty much hard code the page number.
For the second page you go to the header and
1) Select "unlink to previous" from the header/footer toolbar
2) Remove the page numbering from the second page.
For the third page (section 3) you go to the header and:
1) Select "unlink to previous" from the header/footer toolbar
2) Remove the previous header
3) Insert the page number, select it with the cursor
then select "Format Page Number" from the header/footer toolbar.
4) In this dialog box you select under page numbering "start at": 2
5) Insert the total number of pages, select the field with the cursor
then select "Format Page Number" from the header/footer toolbar.
6) In this dialog box you select under page numbering "start at": 2
FUNNY - in Word it still stays Page 2 of 3 in the header of the third page, but
when I run it with XML Publisher I get Page 2 of 2.
So I get after the run for the page header of a 3 page document:
Page 1 Header:
Page 1 - NO PAGE TOTAL - I get to this later
Page 2 Header:
NO PAGE HEADER
Page 3 Header:
Page 2 of 2
Now how do I get the correct page number onto the first page - I tried a trick and it worked...
1) Insert a bookmark (ie. name test) behind the last word of your document - on the last page. Menu: Insert bookmark
2) Go to the header of the header of the first page behind:
Page 1 of
3) Now select from the menu Insert: Referernce -> Cross reference.
4) Select refernce type "Bookmark" ,
Insert refence to "Page Number"
Select reference to test.
Worked for me... Let me know if that is what you wanted to achieve and if it works for you.

How do I include a page from web search into an Email?

I have a HP TouchSmart 610-1147c Desktop computer. running Windows 7 64 bit. I should have known the answer to this question years ago, but I don't....terrible huh? Anyway, how do I include a page from a web search that I did into an Email? Believe it or not, I've never had to do this before, so don't have the faintest idea how to do this. I have a feeling that it would be sent as an attachment, but how don't know how to do that!!
I would appreciate any help that anyone would take the time to give me. I thank you beforehand for having patience with me and my silly question.
Auntie CC
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, the way I would do it is to copy and paste the web address in the email, so the recipient can click on the link and get right to the Web page.
For example, I just googled "horses," and here is the result of that search:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=horses&oq=horses&aq=f&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_l=h...
I highlighted the Web address, copied it, and then pasted it in the response. Same thing can be done into an emial.
Does that make sense? Or were you looking for something else?

Modifying ExportAllStories to Exclude Master Pages

Hi,
I am using the ExportAllStories script that comes with Adobe InDesign CS 5. I would like to modify it so that it ignores items from the master pages.
Any direction you can give would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Steve

Are you talking about stories in text frames that are overriden from master pages, or that simply exist on master pages and show through?
If we're talking about the latter, it's easy enough. Take this part of the script:
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < app.activeDocument.stories.length; myCounter++){
myStory = app.activeDocument.stories.item(myCounter);
and just add a check to see if the first text container associated with the story exists on a master page. Master pages have a documentOffset that is less than zero (generally -1, it seems). So add:
if (myStory.textContainers[0].parentPage.documentOffset < 0) { continue; }
and then that story will be skipped.

Get error message and it removes Master Page from Topic

I get the following message sometimes when I edit a topic but definitely don't get near the header or footer. Then as soon as I save the topic, I lose my Master Page connection to it. And I have to go into Properties for that topic and pick the master page again!! This started one day after using RoboHelp HTML for a month. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello again
Hmmm, wasn't exactly what I'd hoped to see. I can't really tell much from the image. Looks like it's an image of a topic and not the Master Page?
Here's the deal. The only time you should be seeing the message you first posted is if you have a Master Page with a Header or Footer area defined. You then edit a topic where something causes the Header or Footer to change. The change to the Header or Footer is what triggers the message.
As you say you aren't changing anything in the Header or Footer area, this suggests whatever is being used in the Header or Footer area is triggering the notification. That's why I'm interested in exactly what you have in the Master Page.
Cheers... Rick

How Unlink Master Pages from Each Other

When I create a new master page, even if it isn't based on an existing one, changes I make in the order of layers in that master page are applied to the other master pages as well. And when I change the order of layers in other master pages, the order changes in the new one. Please help me unlink these. I've found mentions that this can be done, but not specific instructions for how. Thank you!!!!

On your new master page, Shift+Command+Click on the item you want to change. You can then drag it to a new layer from within the layers pallet by dragging the colored dot next to the layer it's currently on to the layer you would like it to be on.

How to exclude last page from the total number of pages counter

Hi,
I am customizing the payables remittance RTF template, our requirement is to reset page number to 1 for each payment, i am able to achieve this using "@section"
also we have a requirement to have a summary page at the end, i am able to get this using "start@last-page:body".
issue is last page is also considered in the page counter of the last payment.
i.e. suppose if i am generating remittance for 2 payments which are printing details in two pages and one page respectively, my output will have total 4 pages and it's showing
Payment1 page-1 footer -> 1 of 2
Payment1 page-2 footer -> 2 of 3
Payment2 page-3 footer -> 1 of 2
Summary page-4 footer -> 2 of 2
but i wanted to see
Payment1 page-1 footer -> 1 of 2
Payment1 page-2 footer -> 2 of 3
Payment2 page-3 footer -> 1 of 1
Summary page-4 footer -> 1 of 1
Any idea how to remove the summary page from the page counter.
Rgds,
-Kamal

I'm not sure how it was in Acrobat 9, but in XI you add a Header/Footer and
one of the options it "Page Number and Date Format", where you can select
the format of the page number to add, some of them contain the total number
of pages (such as "1 of n").
