Central template for more than one file?

I am hoping to use InDesing CS5 in a few days and I am wondering whether it is possible to place a central template file and use this file for several "connected" files. We want to start layouting articles for a magazine but are not sure of the final footer and header. Because there is more than one person working on the magazine we are layouting every article in seperate files.
How can we make sure that when the template changes we don't have to change every single file?

Templates don;t work any differently in ID than they did in Quark, as far as I recall.
Perhaps you don't really mean "Template," which is a framework document. A template can be very simple or quite complex, containing a single page or many, pre-placed text and images that will appear in all documents (or placeholders for images and text to show correct positioning), along wiht the swatches and styles that shold be used. Templates can also contain multiple different master pages for different types of document page layouts that may or may not be included as live pages.
When you use a template, you get a new, untitled copy of the layout containing everything that was in the template, but you are not working in the template itself (unless deliberately opeing it "as original" in order to make template revisions. The template file remains unchanged and each new document you make froom it starts in the same state and must be saved as a new file with a new name.
We often see people ask if it's possible to change a template and have all files that were made based on that template udate automatically to reflect the changes. The answer to that is no. There is no link to the template the way there is to a placed image, for example, or the way there is between an overridden master item on the document page and its original on the master page.

  • Lightroom - Photoshop Integration breaks for more than one file

    This message is for those of us who process lots of images. I just spend a n afternoon working with Lightroom 1.0 to process the 900+ images taken at a sporting event over the weekend. My task is to find the keepers, and then run a custom action in Photoshop on every one of those files to prepare the files for delivery to the client.
    Its pretty clear anyone doing serious noise reduction or sharpening work needs to have PS right now, but even if those limitations are addressed, let's assume there's always going to be something that needs to be done in Photoshop.
    The problem is the current integration of Photoshop and Lightroom seems to be based on a single file, i.e. there's no batch capabilities, but I need to be able to set up and run recorded Photoshop actions on 900 files! (OK, only half were keepers, but you get the idea.)
    The workaround is to export all of the files out of Lightroom into a directory, and then run a batch process to create a second directory of the processed files. I now have 900 files that aren't in Lightroom's database! Unfortunately Lightroom doesn't recognize files on the hard drive, and so if you're using Lightroom as a file manager, in six months I'll never know those post-processed files are even there.
    Sure, I can delete the first directory, but I'll definitely want to keep the final files around for later. The only option is to then run another import on the final directory, which creates more down time.
    The problem is the chances of getting out of sync are huge, plus there's no association between the original and processed versions as happens when you edit from within Lightroom. (In that case the original and processed are stacked.)
    Now, the 1.0 version is amazing, and I consider the program to be one of the best programs ever designed. This is just a request to consider tackling this problem in version 2.0.

    Yes, that's a big improvement in 1.0. The only problem is it only works for one file :-(
    Overall I've found stacking to be less useful in other contexts, unfortunately. For me at least its been easier to just go through all of the photos initially to rank them, and then only show the candidates to send to clients.

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,

  • How can i transfer more than one file from server to client

    Hi,
    our requirement is transfer more than one files from server to client using the
    webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress.One file transfer is already working in our system.If anybody know the solution please inform
    regards
    mat

    just an idea ...
    for this purpose let us put aside security concerns and other potential problems....
    -- Get the content of a server directory with Filter and create zip file
    1) create a class that implements java.io.FilenameFilter ...
    2) define accept() method ...
    3) call File.list() with the filter as a parameter. The returned array of strings will have all the names that passed through the accept() filter
    4) use java.util.Zip to create ZIP file on the server side
    -- I think it is better to create this functionality as a separate Java class, put it in required folder and after it
    -- use Forms->Program->"Import Java class" to create pl/sql wrappers, than to create wrappers for all classes and code in pl/sql
    5) use webutil to transfer file on the client
    6) use Java on client side to unzip transferred file
    if you think this is not too complicated, you should try ...

  • Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

    Hi experts,
                I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
    data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
          IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
          wa_quote type ZIQMD,
          wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
      COMMIT WORK.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
        COMMIT WORK.
    when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'  , but iam not getting data  for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'  interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
                  Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Poorna.

    Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
    One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
    1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

  • Any way to transcode more than one file at a time?

    I've noticed that Final Cut Pro X, when doing transcoding (for Optimizing or creative Proxy media) only processes a single file at a time (whereas it can handle processing up to 5 audio files at once), and is only using about 70% of my processor(s) -- I have a dual core, Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, about 500MB used by FCPX during the processing.  So this thing should have PLENTY of processor and memory headroom to use, and it should certainly be able to transcode more than one file at a time.  Yet it isn't nearly taking full advantage of the processors, or the RAM.  Is there any solution to this problem?

    Try the 'add folder to library' option under file on the main menu.

  • Wiki 2: Attaching more than one file at a time?!?!

    Is it possible to attach more than one file at a time to a Wiki page?
    Currently I can only attach one at a time, its quite tedious - Are there any tricks to speed up the page build?

    Matthias,
    I appreciate the quick response and that would definitely work. I should have been more clear in my original post. I would like the ability for my end-users to browse individual files for viewing and downloading, as well as uploading. I don't think a zipped file would suit my needs..
    Thanks for the advice though...

  • I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

    I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!

  • How to upload more than one file in struts?

    thanks first. I want to upload more than one file at once. So I modify the the example of the struts 1.1. I changed :
    protected FormFile theFile;
    to
    protected FormFile [] theFile;
    and add indexed getter and setter method.
    public FormFile getTheFileIndexed(int index){
    return theFile[index];
    public void setTehFileIndexed(FormFile theFile,int index){
    this.theFile[index]=theFile;
    and in the upload.jsp, I changed
    <html:file property="theFile" />
    to
    <html:file property="theFile[0]" />
    and also in the ActionForm
    reset(){
    this.theFile=new FormFile[2];
    But when I run it, it tells me there are no getter indexed method.
    Thanks again for reading.

    Create a FormFile property with getters and setters for each file you want to upload. Eg.
    private FormFile file1;
    private FormFile file2;
    public void setFile1(FormFile file) {
       this.file1 = file;
    public void getFile1() {
      return file1;
    // same for file2And in your jsp use the following :
    <html:file property="file1" />
    <html:file property="file2" />

  • Creating SQL-Loader script for more than one table at a time

    Hi,
    I am using OMWB 2.0.2.0.0 with Oracle 8.1.7 and Sybase 11.9.
    It looks like I can create SQL-Loader scripts for all the tables
    or for one table at a time. If I want to create SQL-Loader
    scripts for 5-6 tables, I have to either create script for all
    the tables and then delete the unwanted tables or create the
    scripts for one table at a time and then merge them.
    Is there a simple way to create migration scripts for more than
    one but not all tables at a time?
    Thanks,
    Prashant Rane

    No there is no multi-select for creating SQL-Loader scripts.
    You can either create them separately or create them all and
    then discard the one you do not need.

  • Perform VENDOR EVALUATION for MORE THAN ONE VENDORS at a time

    Hello all,
    Please guide for any process where i can perform Vendor Evaluation for MORE THAN ONE vendors AT A TIME.
    At my location there are around thousand vendors, which are to be evaluated, and difficult to perform the evaluation process one-by-one.
    (ME61/ME62/ME63)
    Detailed replies with various possibilities would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Joy Ghosh

    The vendor evaluation for some thousand vendors at the same time has already been in SAP long before they developed LSMW. The purpose of LSMW is to load data from a legacy system, of course you can (mis-)use it for a lot other things.
    But you should not always use LSMW if you are to lazy to go thru the SAP standard menu to find a transaction like ME6G
    There you define a job that runs RM06LBAT report.
    You first have to define a selection variant for this report. this can be done in SE38 by entering the report name, select variant, clicking display, then entering a name for the variant and clicking Create.

  • Setting Equalizer for more than one song at a time

    Is there any way to set the equalizer setting for more than one song at a time. For example, if I have a classical music album with 10 songs, can I set the equalizer for "classical" for all 10 songs at once? It's a pain to have to do it for each one individually. I tried using the "shift" key, but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Joe The Author

    highlight all the songs you want then right click and go to get info. in the options tab at the top there is an equalizer preset option.

  • Master_detail for more than one record at a time

    How can i display master_detail records for more than one records at a time, for example, i have two tables A and B , A has username and role and B has username and profile. here i wanted to display 10 users at a time on my 6i form with username, role and profile.
    i have created a master-detail relation ship with these tables when i'm executing F8 on blcok A , it displays 10 records on BlockA but, only one at a time on block B, how can i display all corresponding records on block B at a time.
    Thanks for your help.Bcj

    Thanks Roberts, that was realy informative due to some doubts i would like to confirm my requirements , i have two blocks A and B and each master record has only one detail record. but i wanted to display at least 10 master_detail relationships(records) on the form at a time, i would like to know is it possible to do without creating any table or view for example,
    data in table A,
    username role
    AAA R1
    BBB R2
    CCC R3
    data in table B,
    username profile
    AAA P1
    BBB P2
    CCC P3
    i wanted to display it on form like below,
    username role profile
    AAA R1 P1
    BBB R2 P2
    CCC R3 P3
    Also would like to know that how can i select data from dba_users, any restriction is there on forms 6i, i can select it on sqlplus.
