CS 6 2-Up Landscape Layout Help Wanted

I want to recreate some Sanskrit books in the traditional "pothi" format. Before the introduction of paper many centuries ago these would have been written on palm leaves so the page has developed to be long in width and relatively short in width. So what I did is to set my pages to be landscape mode and 11" width by 4.25" height. That way I can get 2 pages on one side of US letter size paper and as I have a duplex printer, 4 pages per sheet altogether. Here is an illustration. The arrow represents the direction of the text.
   Side 1                                             Side2
+--------------------------------------------+     +---------------------------------------------+
| 4                                    V    |     | 3                                   /\     |
|                                            |     |                                             |
+--------------------------------------------+     +---------------------------------------------+
| 1                                         |     | 2                                   /\     |
|                                       V    |     |                                             |
+--------------------------------------------+     +---------------------------------------------+
This seems like it should be easy enough to do but owing no doubt to my extreme newbieness in the use of InDesign I have not figured it out. Can anyone help please?

It is simple, but not necessarily intuitive.
You start with a 1-up 11 x 4.25 document, save that then place the pages twice into a new 11 x 8.5 doc. The simplest way I know to d the last part is to use Scott Zanelli's multipage placer script (InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files) and run it twice, changing the position, in this case from top on the first run to bottom on the second.

Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial

Regarding the "Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial, I can't seem to get the data to pull in for just the PO in question, is there a secret?
Ideally, it should create one form for each PO with the detail lines for each PO on the individual forms. Can we do this?
Many thanks!

Hi
If the smartform purchase order is not available in your system
means you can download the form IDES and you can upload the form in ur ecc 6.0 system.we faced a similar kind of problem in our system and we did as i said.
Once you uploaded the things you can easily view the form interface and rest of the things related to smartforms.
Thanks and Regards

Change the width and height of Landscape Layout for a report in 10G

Hi,
I'm new to reports and when i built the report in report builder 10g, the layout orientation was 'Landscape', hence I assumed that it'll be a landscape layout.
However, the width and height fields of the main section are 11 and 20 respectively. However, the height should ideally be 8.5. When i try to change it I get the following error message :
Layout canvas must remain large enough to fit layout objects.
Could you please tell me how to change the height of this landscape layout to 8.5 from 20.
The report has several main frames within a repeating frame, since the same report has to run multiple times.
Is it possible to have a repeating page across pages (crossing the horizontal margin) and hence have some of the main frames move down to the next page. I'm trying to do this to then be able to reduce the height of the main section of the report to 8.5. Its not working though because I'm getting the following error :
REP 1814 : Report cannot be formatted. Object "vertically" can never fit R_Main (the name of the repeating frame enclosing all objects)
Thanks,
Priyanka

To reduce the Hieght, first make the layout design fit into the new value..

Portrait & Landscape Layout in fixed layout EPUB

Is it possible to create a fixed layout epub that when viewed in portrait orientation on a device it displays just one page and when the device is flipped to a landscape layout it displays two pages (both pages still portrait layout) side by side?

This is the code you use to tell iPad to display in landscape mode.

[display_options]
[platform name="*"]
[option name="fixed-layout"]true[/option]
[option name="orientation-lock"]landscape-only[/option]
[option name="open-to-spread"]true[/option]
[/platform]
[/display_options]
Replace the brackets to carets and you're good to gol Name the file:
com.apple.ibooks.display-Options.xml
and it's put in the META-INF folder

Need help with landscape layout

Need some help. Tyring to build layout for a financial report. Each report will have 1) data block with company name, stock symbol and price 2) one or two line headline 3) two to three paragraphs of text and 4) large graph...I cant seem to get a nice layout which accents the company information and has enough space around the headline. . I tried putting the information block at top left, the paragraphs directly below and then the headline and graph towards the right side.
Doesn't seem to be working..... Any tips on setup/placement would be appreciated

Newbie Layout Help Needed

I am normally an After Effects and Premiere Pro user but have been forced to volunteer for help on a Dreamweaver project.
The site is built on the template: HTML, 1 column fixed, centered, header and footer. I want to be able to insert a photo the width of the main column, 960 px I think. Then, under that photo, I want to insert 4 photos with different widths, between 150 and 200 pixels wide. I will need to update this from time to time and the quantity and sizes of the photos will be different each time. If "Draw AP Div" worked like I expected it to, it would be simple: draw boxes and insert images. However, as you know, it's not going to be that easy. I have read the formatting101 page and searched the forum but I guess I don't know enough to know what to search for.
Is there a way to place images in the way I want to? Do I need a plug-in? I need to where to start.

You don't need APDivs for this. If you want the secondary images to be evenly spaced on the page, use CSS floats & margins.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/3-CSS-boxes.shtml
If you don't need them evenly spaced, simply insert optimized images into your layout. Be sure to resize images beforehand in your graphics editor so that their combined widths will fit inside the layout.

Thanks,

John,
1. Well, he is an extreme "joy" to work with. I'll admit that. Been in the managers office a few times.
2. In the mark up that I provided above, August was the month that was selected from the "Select Month" drop down list. Since the "Calendar" checkbox was not selected, that meant that they wanted the beginning of the current fiscal year, Nov-05, to the selected month, in that example, Aug-06.
I am taking care of the beginning and ending dates through date math. If you like I can provide that code too.
I hope that was clear.
Thanks,
Joe

Simple css layout help

Hey I know this is a piece of cake for you guys so help me
out. I've got a simple layout going and set up at
http://www.clark-imaging.com/ciiicomp/index.html
and need your help. What is causing the weird white bands behind
header and maincontent and footer and maincontent? There are no
margin values assigned to the top and bottom of the header and
footer, and a value of 0 won't make them go away. Also, how can I
fix the footer div to the bottom of the window, so the main content
area stretches with the window?
Here's an
image of the look I'm going for.
Your responses are greatly appreciated.

This will do what you want. View source code to see how it's

Layer or div tag positioning help wanted

Okay, actually I have two problems: 1) I have managed to
create a navigation bar, but I can't find out how to save it other
than saving the html page it was created on. The help literature
seems to vaguely indicate that a nav bar created can be saved and
used on other pages, but I'll be damned if I can find where there
are any details of this process.
*BTW, my navbar has multiple elements or buttons, so I can't
just copy paste, ctrl/shift doesn't seem to work selecting multiple
elements, tho it works on regular images*
2) Once I solve problem #1, I am goin to want to have the
navigation bar "stay put" in it's position on the screen, immune to
any scrolling that occurs on the page(s). So, I plan on putting
into a layer or div that can be given this behavior or property.
Unfortunately, I can't find or figure out how to do that, either.
Is this a good plan? Is there a better way to make the Nav bar
exempt from page scrolling?

No offense, but I think your approach may be a bit off base
here (of
course I have not seen a link to a a page showing what you
are trying to
achieve, so I could be completely wrong). The first part of
your
question already makes me nervous, because it makes me think
you have
used Fireworks or another image program to create your
navbars.
Depending on which version of Fireworks you are using, that
could be
disastrous or only unwieldly. The navigation bars created by
Fireworks
are definitely not the best solution,and you can go through
years of
posts, particularly by Murray, advising against their use.
If you are interested in an easier way to create your
navigation, post back.
Second, wanting your navigation to stay put while the rest of
the page
scrolls is something I see here a lot, but it's not
necessarily how the
web works. People plunge into frame hell in order to
accomplish it,
but it is like trying to kill a mosquito with a jackhammer.
There is a good extension that will do this for you if you
insist, but
given the problems you are having now, I would first create a
properly
coded page that behaves as a normal web page should, and ONLY
THEN
worry about server-side includes
revisit the issue of fixed and scrolling page elements.
An excellent tutorial for creating a cross-browser friendly,
modern
(e.g.not relying on tables for layout) page can be found at
www.projectseven.com (search for "quickdraw" without the
quotation
marks), where you can also find an excellent tutorial for
creating
horizontal or vertical navigation menus that are simple and
can be used
in templates or server-side includes (search for "uberlink"
without the
quotation marks).
Good luck.
Oh, and don't apologize for not understanding code: learn to
understand
and write good, solid html and css. Elizabeth Castro's book

CSS design - help wanted

Dear group,
I want to redesign my site and want a design that looks like
this:
http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/Images/design.gif
I made a screenshot of it to show you, that this design was
made using
tables in tables with different backgrounds. This makes the
markup
almost unreadable and I wonder, if I could do this design
without
tables but using CSS. So I made single pics from the
screenshot. 1 for
each corner, 1 for the top and bottom middle, 1 for the left
and right
middle to use as a background. Unfortunately I'm not good
enough to
find out by myself how to put this into CSS.
The content of the site should be within the 'silver frame'
as shown
in this screenshot
http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/Images/design1.gif
The navigation shouldn't be horizontal as shown in this
screenshot,
but a vertical navigation as shown at
http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/catmain.htm
Could you please give me a hint, where to find a solution to
my design
wish?
Thank you for reading me

You're using DW4? Ugh. DW4 was not the sharpest knife in the
drawer with
regard to CSS.
