Batch changing a template

I am trying to create a library of product specs for the products our company sells. The company is in the process of rebranding and hence all of the documentation needs to be produced on the current letterhead. How ever in a few months this will change to the new letterhead.
So we do not have to create all of the documents again from scratch, is there a way using adobe products to create a letterhead as a template and then apply it to a group of files ???
I would like to create some blank docs with the product specs on and then just apply the current template. Then when the new template is ready apply it to all the documents....
Any ideas would be helpful. I am using creative suite 5.5.

In addition to waht Willi has said, you might want to create a graphic of the letterhead layout with no changeable content. Save that as either a single-page .indd or a PDF, (or if you lay it out in Illustrator, save as PDF or .ai). Make sure you save as a copy of some sort that you can destroy, then place that in your templates.
When you've finished the re-branding make a new graphic, and save it with the same name and in the same location as the original, overwriting the old file. Open the templates "as original" (File > Open... and change the radio button) ONE TIME and update the links so you don't get bothered each time you make a new document from them, then save and close. In future open the templates "normally."

  • I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

    What the ****.
    OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
    I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

  • Batch change -  Email generation

    Hello Gurus,
      I have a requirement related to batch change (MSC2N).  Whenever a user changes batch characteristics on classification tab and hits the save button, an email needs to be generated to a mailing list. This is not required for all the changes though, for example, if there are batch characteristics from A through E, report only when a batch characteristic is changed from B to E and C to E.
    Is there a user exit for MSC2n where in I can code this functionality? Please help me, and Thanks a lot in advance.

  • How to change page template for a single page?

    I create a new document based on the Pages "Reports > Business Report".
    Now the first page is formatted as a "Cover" page with a larger top margin.
    Via "Format > Advanced > Manage Pages..." I see there are what I assume are the "Page Templates":
    - Cover
    - Table of Contents
    - Chapter Page
    - Text Page
    - Appendix
    My question: How can I change the template for a single page in my document? E.g. I don't want Page #1 to be formatted as "Cover". I'd like it to be a "Text Page".
    Any hints?

    Just delete the Cover section and insert a Text Page.
    Click on:
    +Toolbar > View > Page Thumbnails+
    Click on the Cover thumbnail, it will be outlined in yellow, hit delete.
    It may start off with certain defaults but you do not have to accept them.

  • How can I batch change the view options of multiple playlists?

    I would like to select multiple playlists and batch change their view options; seems like an obvious feature that should be there, but it does not seem to be there. I know of Assimilate View Options v2.2 in Doug's AppleScripts, but this is not what I want, since AWO requires you to do the change playlist by playlist, i.e., not in batch mode (and I have hundreds of playlists ...). Any idea? Please answer privately at [email protected] since I do not read this forum regularly. Thanks in advance for your help!

    did you also check out the following script ?
    [_*Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=changehiddenprefs]
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist

    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons

  • How to batch change a date in aperture

    Is it possible to batch change a date in aperture the way I do it in iphoto (command option B)?  I dont want relative dates, I want a group of scanned pictures (negatives) to have the same date, but separated by one second.

    Dale,
    Aperture does not support this. I wrote a little Apple Script to adjust the data and time like iPhoto and posted it on my web page. You may have a look and take this as a starting point. I wrote the script last year; so it has only been tested with Aperture 3.2.4 and Lion, not with the current version: The script is here: Adjust Date and Time in fixed increments
    But no guarantees given for the current Aperture version 3.4.3.

  • Batch changing Word docs to Pages

    I've been using Word for years, now converting to Pages. In searching for a way to quickly convert all my documents to Pages, I've read posts here and found only advice for handling things one at a time -- though I may have missed a post. But I have found a possible answer, yet not sure of the consequences, so please advise. If you
    1. Click on a document and click on "more info"
    2. Open with option - select Pages. Just below this line are the words, "Use this application to open all documents like this, and the option button, "Change All..."
    So I pick an unimportant file and do this, and receive the message after pressing "Change All":
    "Are you sure you want to change all your Microsoft Word documents to open with the application 'Pages'? This change will apply to all Microsoft Word documents with type W8BN."
    One, I don't have any clue what documents will be included because of the "W8BN," because this is a designation I've never heard of, don't know how it is assigned. It is very specific to whether the document is all text, or who authored it, or does it literally refer to all current Word documents made with the version of Word I have (Microsoft Word X)?
    Until I know this, and the consequences of pressing "Change All," I won't do this. But if this is a truly simple and non-destructive way to batch change, how wonderful!
    To further complicate matters, I need this question answered for Leopard AND Tiger, as my husband is one and I am on the other....
    Thanks in advance,
    Tonia

    Yvan,
    I have downloaded your ForPages:batchWord2Pages.zip to try and convert a group of Word files to Pages. As the script asks, I have saved it as an application bundle. When I drop a folder (or a group of files) onto the saved application bundle Pages opens but then my system gets stuck in a loop. The computer makes a rapid 'bonging' noise (the sort it makes if you click a button by mistake) and then nothing else will work. I cannot force quit anything or use activity monitor to close any tasks. All I can do is hold the power switch to make the computer switch off.
    I have tried this on both my iMac & Mac Book Pro. Both run 10.5.2 and Pages 3.0.2. The same thing happens on both machines.
    Is there something else I need to set in the script before I save it as an application bundle?
    Thanks for any help you can provide

  • How to batch change year only?

    I would like to batch change the year only (leaving all other metadata, to include day and time, the same.  In a recent 5 day shoot I have discovered that my camera was set on 2013 rather than 2014.  Is this possible?  The date, to include year, does not seem to be an option under metadata batch change.  If I select all the photos and then change the year, it seems that all of them will also be set to the exact same day and time.  I am looking for an option other than changing the year on each one separately.  Thanks!

    The result would be that all photos have the exact same date (month/day/year) and exact same time.
    What am I missing?
    The small print! (in the dialog to change the date/time). It says: 'The original date and time of the primary selection is shown below. Adjust it to the correct time and all selected versions will be time-shifted accordingly".
    What it means is based on the time difference you give it for the primary image, it will apply the same difference (time-shift) to all the others.

                               Component a in Fert. B,  quantity change from 8g x 0.9 = 7.2g
           now, my question is how to Batch change the standard value in routing. (select by work center)  CA85N can select the value, but seems can not batch change by a factor,

  • How to batch change in new Photo app

    I switched over to the new Photo app. I imported my photos from my iPhone, and then went to batch change the titles (which I use to search for specific pictures and places). I can't find an option anywhere to change anything more than one photo at a time! I uploaded over 200 pictures, I can't make modifications a photo at a time.
    Someone help me please!

    I can't make modifications a photo at a time.
    Someone help me please!
    Batch change the titles in another app before you import the photos  into Photos, for example in iPhoto.
    Or use keywords instead of titles. You can select multiple photos and assign a keyword to all photos at the same time from the Keyword Manager.

  • Request offering- how can I change the template

    I am trying to edit a request offering. I created a new template with different activates and wanted to apply that template to existing request offering. However, I can edit every field except
    change the template which is grey out. It is a same behavior for all my service offering. I tried to delete a template and got the error down below. I do not remember I did anything unusual(if I know what I am doing with this product). When I was creating
    a template I chose the option to create a new MP , use that template for a new service offering and do not remember I got any error when I published it.

    You cant delete the template because it is linked/related to at least one request offering. Service offerings aren't linked with a template.
    It's not possible to change the template of an existing request offering. You have two options:
    Create a new template and a new request offering
    Copy the existing request offering. The wizard will offer to create a new copy of the existing template.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ask your question.How do I change the template for a pages document

    How do I change the template for a pages document?

    Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
    If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
    The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.
