Master Pages to Control Body Text Styles?

I think I must not understand Master Pages.
I want to create a set of text frames on every page in my book. I'd like the frames to be the same on every page, with the same font, size, justification, etc. for each frame (and I'm not threading the text frames from page to page).
If I try to use Master Pages to set all this up, and then override the master page by pasting different text on each page, I lose the ability to change fonts, font sizes, etc. on all pages at once. Since I've overridden the Master for that text frame, changing the Master no longer affects that text.
Should I be using a different way to set the font, font size, justification, etc. in the frames on all pages at once? (I'd also like to resize or move those text frames on all pages at once, too, but just pasting text into an overridden Master frame seems to leave me the ability to alter the frame itself.)
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, of course. Thanks. When I refered to the text frames, I meant the size and shape and placement of the frames.
So I can manipulate all the font and text attributes through Paragraph Styles, and I can manipulate all the text frames by changing the Master Page.
Perfect. (I have the latest ID on a Mac running Mountain Lion.)

Problems when I copy a text from master page field to body page field

Hello
I am developing a electronic form and I have experimented a strange bebehavior.
When I try to copy a rawvalue of listbox field from master page to textbox field in body page, this works randomly.
I have this code in the validation of the master page field
--------------------begin code---------------------
if (this.rawValue != null && this.rawValue != "")
if (xfa.form.myform.mysubform.mytextfield.rawValue != this.rawvalue)
xfa.form.myform.mysubform.mytextfield.rawValue = this.rawValue;
--------------------end code---------------------
Somebody know what is wrong?
I am very confused.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Extra code is one of the pitfalls of using WYSIWYG cutting and pasting,
and using styling in general.
So while it may be interesting to try to reduce the amount of code, there
probably won't be any direct approach without extra steps to get you what
you want with bare bones code that appears as you want it to or at least acceptable.
I guess you might have to take a screen image, clip the relevant portion, since
you can only attach an image file here not a text file.

Adobe Interactive Form - Master Page vs. Body Page

Hi
Could someone please explain to me what
1) the difference between the Master Page and Body Page and when to use the Master page
2) the reference object and when to use it
I am new to this and I cannot find any answers related to this in SDN
Thanks

hi,
The master and body pages represent the canvas on which you build your form design.
Master Page
Every form design contains at least one master page that LiveCycle Designer creates automatically. Master pages are responsible for formatting body pages. They help to facilitate design consistency because they can provide a background and layout format for more than one of the body pages in a form design.
master pages define the orientation and dimensions of body pages. You can use master pages to define these aspects of a form design:
1.Page size and orientation
2.Headers and footers
3.Watermarks and company logos
Each master page is created with a default content area that covers the whole page. You can add text, images, and other boilerplate objects to a master page. These objects are displayed on all of the body pages that the master page is responsible for formatting.
Body pages
Body pages represent the pages of a form. Each body page derives its page size and orientation from a master page, and by default, each body page is associated with the default master page that LiveCycle Designer creates. Each body page is created with a default subform that covers the whole page.
If your form design contains more than one master page and body page, you can choose which master page to assign to a body page.

Text wrap on Master Page items

RE: InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
Hello,
I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them. However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics. (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.) I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it. But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.

Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.

Flowing text from two column master pages

I'm trying to create a document with a two column master page using two separate text boxes rather than a text box with 2 columns. When I flow the text into page 1 of the document it autoflows and creates the rest of the pages automatically but uses a page wide single column rather than the 2 columns I have on my master page. How can I make it create the new pages with the two columns on them? This is CS4.

I need to know EXACTLY what you've set up and how you are flowing the text before I can tell you what's going wrong.
Do you have a master text frame or frames? Did you override the master frame before placing the text? Are there column guides on the master page? Some screen captures might help, too. You can embed them in a post by clciking on the camera icon on the web page:

Text Flow from master pages -- please help!

I'm so frustrated. For years I used Quark without a hitch. Haven't done DTP in years (but use DreamWeaver (after GoLive died ) and Illustrator) but need to typeset my book in InDesign and cannot get the most basic things down. Please have pity!
I created a master page (facing pages) where each side has a rectangle frame tool. When I went to a document page I could not put any text in that frame, but finally found out that you hold down command-shift and click in the frame to "unlock" it or make it accessible when outside of the master page edit area. (Sheesh -- is that remotely intuitive???)
Now that I'm able to get the test in the frame on a real page, I can't get it to FLOW from one page to another.
Basically, I have an entire book and I just need to dump all the text into the template I've created. And I need ID to add as many pages as necessary (from the master page) for all the text to show up. This seems like it should be easy but I'm at a loss.
Any help?
After I get that to work, I need to be able to have the first page of each chapter use a different master page, because the look has to be slightly different. So any tips on that would be welcome as well.
Thanks in advance. Your help is appreciated!

While I agree that use of master text frames is usaully not desirable, you CAN do so if you wish, but if you expect to auto flow into them you MUST NOT override them onto the document page.
Instead, issue the Place command and select your text file, then hover the loaded cursor over the master frame area, being careful to avoid any margin, column or ruler guides, and hold the Shift Key and click. When you move over an empty frame you'll see the loaded cursor change so the symbolic text is enclosed in parentheses rather than having the right angle in the upper left corner. That's your clue that the eixiting frame will be used, and holding shift will caasue ID to make additional pages untill all the text is in place.

Master page: header changes are not reflected in existing topics

A few months ago this forum helped me to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Show More | Show Less command that I inherited from a previous writer. I chose to use the Single Button approach and used this code, on the Master Page, for "onclick":
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-region_start type="header" style="width: 100%; position: relative;" ?>
<table style="height: 10px;" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<col width="186" />
<col width="481" />
<col width="97" />
<tr>
   <td><h2><img src="NGP_Logo_small.png" alt="" style="border: none;"
       border="0" /></h2></td>
   <td><h2 style="text-align: right; margin-right: 20px;">Help</h2></td>
   <td><h2><img src="btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt=""
       style="border: none;" border="0" /></h2></td>
This worked fine until recently when I changed the logo in the left cell of the header table. Today I discovered that the img src = line had gone away. And so I re-entered it, and it works fine on new topics, and on some, but NOT all topics.
Here's what happens on an older topic:
Preview the topic.
Click Show All button. A Script Error message appears: "The value fo the property 'ShowAll' is null or undefined, not a Function object. Code = 0. file = ...../Help/Administration/rlt1F1.htm.

I tried setting the Master Page to None and then re-setting it to Main. That does not help.
The only workaround I've found so far is to create a new topic, copy the content from the old topic, delete the old topic, and rename the new topic using the old topic's name. But that is very tedious.
Any thoughts on how to fix the problem without recreating every topic?

Search for master page usage; better way to use master pages?

Hi all,
I am using Frame 9. I have my files set to always have an even number of pages. For chapters where the text ends on a right-hand page, I assign a custom master page to the final left-hand page -- this custom master page has our logo on it. However, because my files have a lot of conditional text (3 different versions of the publication get generated from the same source files), the lengths of the chapters often change when switching between different conditional versions. So for example, for version 1, I assign the custom master page to the last page of the chapter, which is page 28. Then when I switch my conditional text settings to show version 2, the chapter is now 36 pages long, but my custom master page is still applied to page 28. I have to remove it from page 28 and reassign it to page 38. Here are my questions:
1) Is there a way to search for pages that have a specific master page applied? I hoped that I could generate a list of master page usage using the Special > List Of > References option, but apparently not.
2) Is there any way to get Frame to automatically assign my custom master page when it is appropriate, rather than doing it by hand for each conditional version of each chapter?
Thanks!

To identify master pages that control pages in body page view, create an identifier on each master page, as you'd create a watermark with text in a background text frame. Control its visibility with either a condition, or by assigning it a color that's invisible in a color view.

Facing Master Pages, how do I make them reassign themselves to left or right when I add an odd # of pages?

I've been designing a travel journal & photo book series, and my process is that I have Master Pages A-D, facing. I'll put in all the text (Masters B, Left and Right), then I go back through and insert the photo pages between the correct dates. This generally works fine when I'm adding an even amount of photo pages, but if there happens to be an odd amount of photos for a specific date, then in shifts all the following pages so that instead of the two facing pages layouts being LEFT/RIGHT, it shifts to RIGHT/LEFT:
This is how it should look (LEFT/RIGHT):
But then if I add a right-oriented photo page, like this:
it them shifts everything following it (RIGHT/LEFT), like this:
At first, I thought it was just the text pages, because the design requires every text box on a LEFThand page to be centered, but the RIGHThand ones to be left of center, but If I add a LEFThand photo page inbetween the two incorrectly oriented pages in the previous photo, the photo page does the same thing:
While doing this fixes the pages following it (because it's now an even amount of pages that have been inserted), I don't understand why inserting a RIGHThand layout into a RIGHThand slot doesn't correct it. If I drag the Master Page INTO the page (as opposed to adding a page), I get this dialog box:
(note: this does NOT happen if the orientation of the facing pages is the correct one) I looked at every page's size and page setting (via page tool), and they're all the same:
MY TWO QUESTIONS:
1. Why does this happen and can I fix it/keep it from doing that?
2. Is there a way to select an option or something that shifts everything so that if a text page starts as a LEFThand page, but then gets shifted over one, it'll change to a RIGHThand page? (I'm using CS6 for Mac Snow Leopard)
Thank you so much!

Why does one page have a different orientation than the others? If it is printed, you should keep all same size and orientations, exceptions only for pages which have different final sizes!
You should set up you margins on the master page according where the text frames should be. But your frames are somehow laying on your pages without any relation to the margins borders.
When you add an odd number of pages—it doesn't matter how—, it will shuffle succeeding left pages to the right, right pages to the left. That is how it is, except if you keep spread together or you don't allow to shuffle pages.
If you want to adjust the content from a left page to a right page layout and vice versa you have to use either Layout Adjustment (correct margins are VERY important) or the new Liquid Layout Concept, good descriptions to learn this complex thematic are in the manual and in linked tutorial movies.
If you insert a page based on a master it will use on the left side of a spread the left side of the master's spread and on the right side of a spread the right master's spread, if you grab the left or right side has no influence.
Another influence comes from your text styles, used in keep options in paragraph styles. There you can determine that the paragraph style forces a headline to the left or to the right. Important with headlines in longer layouts.
You should give your master more identifying names, not A-Master, B-Master, but like TIT-Titel, STA-Standard, but this is not the main problem here.

Error with master page "insert current page number" when exporting book

Using InDesign CS 5.5 for Windows
Recently upgraded from InDesign CS (the really old one from 2003). I did save a copy of all my old version files and kept the old ID installed just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).
In my old version of ID, I created a book made up of about 70 documents. Some of these documents are one page, others have multiple pages. In the multiple page documents, I used the "insert ... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a master page, and formatted it to read, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book to a pdf, it worked fine. (I do not want/have consecutive page numbers throughout the book, only in individual documents. By this I mean my entire book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, just the groups of pages from these multi-page documents. It doesn't read page 1 through 280.)
Got my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago, added some documents to the book, and (if i remember right) when I saved the book it asked to convert every old version document to the new version, which I said okay. When I exported the book to a pdf, some documents that are longer than 2 pages are now numbered wrong; the numbers are now going like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Every page but page 1 is now page 2 of whatever.
If I open the individual document and export it to pdf, the page numbers work fine. It's only when the document is exported with the book that the page numbers mess up. And it's not all the documents in my book; this error starts at a particular document and continues from that point throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document longer than 2 pages. Multi-page documents before this point in the book export with the correct page numbers.
I create new documents by doing a "save as" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I'm not having to reformat or set up page numbers on each new document. I don't use layers or styles (I'm sure there's a better way to do what I need, but I've only had time learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)
My attempts to fix this so far (using version 5.5), testing with the first document where the error appears: (1) I've removed the document from the book, deleted the insert current page number character, re-entered the insert current page number character, saved, exported the individual document to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (2) I took the document out of the book again, exported the document to .idml, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (3) I started up my old ID version, opened the old version of this document, exported to .inx, closed, opened .inx in ID 5.5, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (4) I moved the document up in the book order, putting it above a document that has correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to pdf, and this document was still wrong, but the one that has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I've compared settings for this document to others that number correctly and cannot find any difference.
It's like the page numbers get hung on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I hope this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than going back to my old version documents and starting over?
Thanks for your time and for all the awesome information this forum provides!

Mr. Spier
Right after I posted my question, I saw a post from last year where somebody had similar problems. (I cringed because I spent almost 3 days researching this problem and never ran across that post; thanks for not scolding me for posting a semi re-run.) I decided to try one of the easier solutions: I opened the problem document from the book panel, went to the master page and deleted the text box containing the page number, copied the page number box from a document that worked correctly, and pasted it into the problem document. Saved that doc, closed, saved book, exported to pdf, and it worked!! The page number problem was fixed. I went back and did the same thing for the other problem documents and they all number correctly now.
Probably not the best way, but for now this will fix it; I may have to do it again next time I add to the book. Although I didn't follow your instructions, I'll mark this as answered since it's working now. If it keeps giving me problems, I'll try the .inx export/new book route.
thanks for your time

RoboHelp 9 Master Pages

My project is upgraded from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 9
I found that when i preview topic, my header / footer images cannot be display, it is empty space, text is fine, whichever text inside a master pages can be display, only the header / footer images cannot be display
I am using master pages (previously template in RoboHelp 7)
I generate the chm file, it does not display the images for header / footer as well
This RoboHelp 9 is so much troublesome, anyone can give some help here
When i create new Master Pages, the body text in as below:-
This is Body Placeholder text for your Master Page. Topics created using this Master
Page will get this text by default. Replace text of this Body Placeholder with your
default content for topics.
"Area outside this Body Placeholder represents the layout of the Master Page which
will not be shown in the associated topics but will be present in the output."
TheBody Placeholder content will be replaced by actual topic content in the output.
Use Master Page to define the layout of your topic in the output.
For the text in double quote, my header / footer is outside the Body Placeholder, what it mean by will be present in the output? after generate the chm file?
I do not see my header / footer images eventhough i generate the chm file and open it

Hi, I have a similar problem after having updated from RH8 to RH9:
When generating the chm file, the logo in the header is not displayed. Both the logo-file and the hht-file is present in the project folder. Then I noticed the hht-file is not displayed in Project Set-up pod, and thougt this could be the problem. Then I tried to import the hht-file as a master page, but was not allowed to do this.
My temporary and very time consuming solution is to select all topics in the topic list, right-click and then select Properties, and then browse to the hht-file. I have to do this every time I re-open this help project. RH seems to forget the path.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do?

Strange tags in master pages - any idea how they got there?

NOTE: This issue is related to my posting (1/2 way down) in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4539747#4539747
but I wanted to start a new thread to separate it as its own problem.
I just noticed that when I create a new topic, I see this unusual local formatting <p class="TABELBODY"> tag in HTML view (see below, 4rth line from bottom). This is where the mysterious "TABLEBODY" formatting is originating that I've been plagued throughout my current project.
If I delete the default text in this new topic (in Design mode), this <p class="TABELBODY"> still winds up in the topic when viewing in HTML view (see below, 3rd line from bottom).
When you start adding new text in the topic in Design mode, it attaches itself to your first line of text as local formatting (see below, 9th line from bottom):
When you view the topic in Design mode and place your cursor on the first line of text, you'll see this local formatting TABELBODY display in the syle dropdown (see below).
I decided to open up a new topic using my other master page, and also noticed strange tags in it (<?rh-region_start type="body" ?> ). See below, 3rd and 12th lines from bottom.
Consequently, I finally figured out that both my master pages had junk HTML tags in them, which carried over to all of my topics. I have now fixed the master pages by editing out the junk in the HTML mode.
I did some further investigation and found out that the originating project that was the basis for my current project also had master pages with the same tag issues. So now I'm wondering, how did this start? Maybe someone imported a RH html output file into a project by mistake a long time ago, and it corrupted the master pages right up until this time? Or, could it have been from upgrading from RH 7 to 9?

Boy, this is really getting stranger by the moment...every time I think I have solved a problem in RH, another layer of problems emerges...
I made the minor edits on my two master pages to get rid of the junk tags shown above and did a Save All. Here is the result (see screens below):
Master Page 1 After Edits
Master Page 2 After Edits
That's ALL I touched. However, now when I view any topic using these master pages with either the Preview mode (eyeglass icon) or as a final output file, the default text from those master pages displays on top of the topic. Interestingly enough, the master page text does NOT display in these topics in Design mode.

Hiding a master page based on condition

Hi All,
I have created a form which has data on odd pages and some terms and condition on the back pages(even) pages. I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES version 8.1.2
For this I created 4 Master pages.
FirstPage - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages
                                   Placement -> First Page (in Page set)
Front Page - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages
                                   Placement -> Rest of pages
BackPage - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Even (Back) pages
                                   Placement -> Rest of pages
Dummy - Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Blank page
I dragged the content area of back page on the dummy page.
This set up works fine for printing.
I have additional requirement of archiving, emailing and faxing. While sending a email or fax or archiving, the data should be continuous, the 'BackPage' master page should be removed otherwise they show in alternate pages as blank pages even if i set the presence property to 'visible(print only)' .
Are there any settings which can be done to remove the master pages that are not needed based on a codition. Or can we achieve it through scripting.

Hi Otto,
I will try explaining the scenario...
The form has to support back side printing and will be archived, sent by mail and by fax.
The main content of the form will be on the front pages only and on the back side of the first page, the terms and conditions are printed.
the rest of the back pages remain blank.
Following the solution in the link below:
ADOBE: How to print a table only on uneven pages and a text on the back?
MasterPage -> Object pallete -> Page set -> Printing -> Print on both sides.(choosing this does not allow to set the occurance)
I created 4 master pages.
FirstPage -      Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages
          Placement -> First Page (in Page set)
          Content area -> C1
Front Page -      Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Odd (front) pages
          Placement -> Rest of pages
          Content area -> C2
BackPage -      Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Even (Back) pages
          Placement -> Rest of pages
Dummy -      Pagination -> Odd/Even - > Blank page
          Content area -> C3 (Dragged the content area of BackPage to the dummy page)
I only have one Body page for now for the content and have put the terms and condition on the 'BackPage' master page itself as a text.
(If I create a Body Page for the terms and condition (so that I can set its visiblity property) and I try to assign the content area of 'BackPage' (now on dummyPage) the designer shuts down with an error.)
This works fine for the print set up.
Now when I save the form, after each front page a blank page is inserted.
I would like to remove this blank page.
Is there any other way to have content on front pages only and print certain text only at the back.
Please help.
