Best theme for a travel book

I am trying to make a book of a trip to Europe. I have many images (275) and I keep running up against the 100 page limit. It seems like the only theme that will accommodate this many images is the Stock theme.
Also, how can I include the caption with each image?
Thanks,
Ken

There are some web sites that will let you design and publish your own book.
Lulu.com is one with the following prices for hardcover:
8.5" x 11" (21.59cm x 27.94cm) 8.25" x 10.75" (20.96cm x 27.31cm)
Binding Fee $17.00
B&W Per Page $0.02
Color Per Page $0.15
As far as the Apple themes, the Folio theme is the only them to have more than one text type of page (others have just Introduction).
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

    No. Most plans from major carriers are minimum term contracts - usually two years. Month to month providers require you buy an unlocked device that may then be permanently tied to their service.

  • Best template for all text book?

    I'd like to print a book that has very few photos but a lot of text (cheaper than going to a publisher, I suppose). Which template do you think would best serve my needs?

  • Best methods for creating e-books from FrameMaker 10 (TCS 3.5)

    I would like to know your thoughts on which of the following methods is the best, and easiest, way to create e-books from FrameMaker. I will most likely be using Calibre to do the file conversion.
    (1) Using File > Publish > ePub to create an ePub file, which can then be imported into Calibre.
    (2) Using the File > Save Book As > HTM command (which creates a separate HTML file for each FM file), editing the HTML files in RoboHelp (or another HTML editing tool), then importing all of the HTML files into Calibre.
    Note that when I published to HTML from FM, it appears that only an output file was created from RoboHelp, as I could not find any HTML files were actually created. Is that the case, or was I just not looking for the HTML files in the right place?
    If anyone has any other recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!

    I linked the FrameMaker book to RoboHelp, then generated an ePub file from RoboHelp, and have a couple of issues.
    (1) When I open the ePub file in Calibre and Adobe Digital Editions, there is no contents section within the book. The only contents is the contents in the navigation bar. How do I generate a contents to appear in the front of the ebook, or do I have to create that manually in RH? I did specify the settings in RH to convert the FM contents.
    (2) The ePub file looks much better in Calibre than Adobe Digital Editions. Should I be concerned about this? Which viewer should I rely on?

  • Best Solutions For Offline Address Book on Workstations Not Updating Frequently Enough?

    We use Exchange 2010 SP2 and we set Outlook 2010 to Exchange Cached mode by default for all workstations.  This seems to work OK for the majority of email most of the time, but because we are very frequently adding and removing external mail contacts
    and and adding and removing them from distribution lists, the GAL and  distribution lists memberships are frequently out of date in the middle of the work day.  
    Sometimes the users can manually download an updated OAB assuming it has been updated on the server, but sometimes the OAB is not updated yet and redownloading the OAB solves nothing.  It is a lot of hassle, confusion  about bounced messages and
    missing contacts and phantom names in distribution lists with this method.
    I notice that for mail contacts, there is an All Contacts address book that is live, but it does not include include anything else other than contact addresses.  Distribution List memberships are still out of date until the OAB is updated on the server
    and then downloaded to the Outlook client.  This is taking too long.
    Is there a keyboard shortcut to force the client to do a GAL address lookup in online mode rather than using the cached OAB?
    Can Outlook display both an online and offline address book for the GAL and let the user manually select online version of the GAL if a contact or new mailbox or DL has not synced to the OAB yet?
    If we set the registry key to force online address books even when Outlook is in cached Exchange mode, is there any performance downside for PCs on the LAN other than the GAL being unavailable when the network is not available?
    Would the Exchange server have a significantly higher load if most PCs were accessing the GAL without an OAB cache?
    If we should not expect a significant increase in server load or network traffic, we might set desktops to use online access to the GAL and only laptops to use OAB.

    Hi,
    If users are accessing the GAL without OAB cache, definitely it will increase in server load and network traffic. If you are in cached mode, one suggestion is to define that in Send/Receive Settings:
    Go to Send/Receive Groups -> Define Send/Receive Groups
    -> Select the account and Edit -> Select
    Include the selected account in this group, and check Download offline address book -> Click
    OK -> Go back to Send/Receive Groups, select the frequency for automatic send/receive(Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes.), and then close.
    I hope this setting can help in your scenario.

  • IPhoto v8 no themes for calendar, cards, books etc

    I upgraded to iLife 08 and I now can't make any books cards etc using iPhoto. I used to be able to do fine, but since the upgrade it just says "No themes installed, this feature will remain disabled until atleast 1 theme is installed"
    Does anyone know how I can get this working? I tried deleting the .plist file for iPhoto and re-install and nothing and I set up a test account and it doesn't work on that account either.
    I have found the themes folder in applications support and there are loads of folders with .plist files in them - relating to the themes, so I'm guessing they have been installed but iPhoto wont have it.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Restoring iPhoto Themes
    First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
    5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
    After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Best practice for breaking a book

    Hi Everybody,
    I'm making a long technical manual in InDesign, and am facing the issue of how and when breaking it into separate ID Documents collected into an ID Book. In the past, I've never used ID for manuals longer than 40 pages, where I had no problems with the document size. My latest manual was broken this way:
    - Front cover
    - Front matter/Safety
    - ToC
    - Main Text
    - Back cover
    With this longer manual, I will have to split the Main Text into separate parts. My preference would be to avoid excessive fragmentation, to make exporting for translators or other use less time consuming. Also, having less Documents in the Book would make mass replacement (Find/Replace > All Documents) much easier.
    So, at the moment I would avoid breaking by chapter, but going for major sections, like in this schema:
    - Front cover
    - Front matter/Safety
    - ToC
    - Main Text / Introduction
    - Main Text / Basic tasks
    - Main Text / Less basic tasks
    - Main Text / More or less advanced tasks
    - Main Text / Absolutely advanced tasks
    - Main Text / Stay away from these tasks
    - Main Text / Appendix
    - Index
    - Back cover
    Do you see any issue in breaking into sections instead of separate chapters?
    Thank you!
    Paolo

    While going on with this work, I would say that it is important to find a balance between a document too big, and too many chapters in a book. A big document will be more difficult to navigate, and will be slower to use. Too many chapters will make changing condition status change and other mass operation slower.
    Also, be careful not to create cross-references before breaking the book in separate chapters. There is no apparent way of automatically relinking broken references, that have to be entered again by hand.

  • Best Practices for importing FrameMaker books into RoboHelp?

    We are getting ready to purchase RobHelp, and I'm trying to get a head start on the conversion.  We have ~600 base FrameMaker (v7) files that are pieced together to create ~11 different manuals.  I've got a couple of simpler books picked out for testing purposes, but if there's a white paper or anyting on the subject floating about, I would appreciate it.

    I've tried to use RH8 to produce HTML help from a FM9 book. I found that it mostly worked as advertised, with the exception of automatic TOC generation from a book TOC (which can be worked around) and disappearing HTML tags when conditional text is used (no work around found yet). I've posted about both of these issues in this forum, and while many have read my posts, no-one has yet acknowledged that they have seen similar problems or pointed out incorrect usage on my part. So I might just be mad (or furious, depending).
    Before purchasing and committing to an approach, I recommend that you use the 30 day eval to thoroughly exercise these products and see if they work as advertised for you. If you need more than FM9 and RH8 (which can be downloaded as full-featured trials), then you can get a DVD of a 30 day trial of TCS2 from Adobe. I ordered the DVD and it arrived in about 3-5 days (at least, it did for me, and I'm in the USA).

  • Best format for family history books?

    I am about to adapt into iBooks format a series of short biographies I have written about various ancestors. The books will be for private distribution to family and friends.
    I have experimented with the Basic, Modern, Classic, Craft and Biography formats but none seems to correspond exactly to what I am looking for.
    My content would consist typically of text (not more than 20,000 words), family-style photos, a few maps and a few MP3 snippets of songs.
    Before plunging into the adaptations, I thought I would look for advice on this forum.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me, especially those of you who may have produced similar type books.

    It's really up to you in terms of what look and feel you want. You could always start with one of the above templates, then adapt it to meet your needs. Regardless of the template, they all have access to the same widgets.
    You can change lots of things in the original template if you wish. For example:
    font size, style, alignment, colour
    layout of textboxes and images
    position and appearance/visiblility of locked features
    etc

  • Can you have a different theme for different pages?

    I'd like to combine themes in my book I'm creating but I'm not able to lock the individual page themes so that I don't have to have each page be the same theme. Any way around this?

    No, you have to stick with one theme for a given book.

  • Travel theme - best settings for drop in maps

    I am using the Travel theme and really like the idea of putting custom maps into the opening and chapter markers in the themes. However, I am trying to work out the best 'settings' for maps so they show up best once filtered into the background.
    For example, when I drop maps (that are predominantly white) into the opening credits they have made the overall shade of the background lighter (more cream than sepia) so you can clearly see their edges. Also, the contrast gets cut a lot so the maps look a lot more washed out than, for example, the map of Africa that is permanently in the opening credits.
    Has anyone experimented with this and can they make any suggestions for what works best in terms of blending in with the pre-existing maps or otherwise looking the best once it is filtered by the theme?

    Well - the best I found was using Mapquest maps. Guess that's the best...

  • Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
    ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
    Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
    Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks

  • I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....

    I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....

    If you have the AT&T 3G iPad then you can explore the SIM card. I'm not sure if India has the SIM network or another type. REgardless you should be able to access wifi.
    HOnestly, if I were traveling I'd get a plug adapter from a normal retail store. You can get a good one for $20 or less at your local retailer, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, probably KMart though I've not looked for them there. Best Buy and the office supply stores may also have them. You don't have to pay for the official one unless you want to. (I have 'over the counter' plug adapters so if I traveled I'd use what I have not buy another)

  • Picture Book theme - why has my book printed with text box outlines showing? and how do I change this for any future purchases? This did not occur with previous books.

    Why have borders appeared around the text boxes in the Picture Book theme and how do I change them for the future.  My latest book looks dreadful!

    Have you checked, if your book is really set to the "Photos" Theme? This looks like you may have used one of the "Travel" themes. These themes create borders around the text boxes. When you select a theme, the book title will say "Photos", even if the theme is a different one.
    For example, frames text boxes with the "travel" theme.
    Have you previewed your book, before printing it? Did the framed boxes already show in the preview?
