Document modified outside of book

I constantly have this alert icon showing up in the book panel when I clearly have NOT modified the document outside of the book.
Is it confirmed that this is a bug if you make changes, save and then close the document without the "book" panel open? It would be crazy if one were required, before closing a document, to reveal the book panel.

One of us is probably misunderstanding the other.
I'm opening the document from the book panel. I'm making changes in the document. As I do so, I use other panels. The default behavior is when one panel opens, the open one collapses. So I'm not closing the book panel, but it's collapsing.
So now I've made changes in my document that I opened via the book panel. I save the document. The book panel is collapsed. I close the document with the book panel collapsed, and I get the modified alert when I open the book panel.
There is no way to close a document via the book panel, correct? So unless you're suggesting that it's required to show the book panel before you close a book document, there's something going wrong.
Nowhere in the InDesign documentation, that I can find, does it state anything like "all book documents must be closed with the book panel uncollapsed."

  • Document modified outside of book warning won't go away

    I am working on a book in IDCS3 and recently one of the chpts shows the warning triangle in the book menu indicating modification outside of the book. I save the chpt and close it and the triangle still appears. I save as and the warning is still there. I am worried for the integrity of this book project...this is the first time I have tried using the Book feature. Any advice for righting this problem?

    How about this:
    * open your Book document, and open a document from within it.
    * hide all palettes with the Tab key.
    * edit your document, close and save it.
    * show all palettes with the Tab key.
    Now ID will insist the document has changed "outside" the Book! It took me a while to find out why the heck ... just because the Book palette was not visible.
    Fortunately, you can safely ignore the warning for this scenario.

  • Why do I keep getting the "modified outside Illustrator" box?

    I work with Illustrator and Photoshop both open simultaneously, moving Illustrator parts into Photoshop scans and importing Photoshop scans into AI for use as templates. Both are Adobe apps, right? So why do I get this warning when I work on the Illustrator file: "This File has been modified outside Illustrator. Do you want to continue?" It is matched by an equally imbecilic query in Photoshop, where I get the warning: "The disc copy of this file has been modified. Do you still want to save it?" or words to that effect. Am I missing something here? I’ve thought about it, and I honestly can’t imagine a situation wherein someone  with enough intelligence to use either or both apps as advertised, meaning that they want to use Photoshop and Illustrator to modify images, could find these warnings helpful.
    Who came up with these, and why is my computer asking me such stupid questions? And why isn’t there a “Don’t ask me this stupid question again” check box in the dialogue box? Please tell me these moronic inquiries will not appear before me in CS6.

    auto-update open documents.. in the preferences, at least for Photoshop. Illustrator is always going to warn you when link data changes.

  • Use of Official Document number in VAT Books for Italy

    Dear All,
    I would like to share with you a big doubt I have regarding the use of Official Document Number in the VAT Books. This is a requirement for an Italian client.
    According to my clients requierement they would like to manage 5 different VAT Books:
    1. Sale book (for all finished products sold in Italy, EU and outside EU)
    2. Sale book for sundry sales (CAPEX, services, other goods ...)
    3. Purchase book (for all the goods bought in Italy and out-side EU and for all the services bought in Italy)
    4. EU purchase book (for all the goods and services bought from EU suppliers and for all the services bought from not EU suppliers)
    5. EU sale (reverse charge) book (with the same numbers and amounts of the purchase book number 4)
    For every VAT Book they want the Officil Document number to be displayed. Not only that, they want the Official Document Number to end in 1 (XXXXXXX1) at the start of every natural Year for EVERY VAT Book, and have sequential numbering with no gaps.
    My intention is to use: RFKKITVATM. This is a specific VAT report for Italian Companies. The report selects documents that contain regular VAT and that have been assigned an Official Document number (ODN). You run this report to generate such a list for the current month. It selects documents with an ODN based on the invoice or credit memo posting date. You can create as many layout-variants (one per VAT Book??).
    My question is: The VAT Books are based on different VAT Codes. How can we have every single VAT Book to start with an Official Document number ending in 1? The number range will be Document type dependant and not VAT Code dependant.
    As per my knowledger, To use Official Document Numbering (ODN) in Italy we have to make a number of settings:
    - Activate ODN
    - Specify which document types the system is to assign official document numbers to.
    - Assign installation-specific function modules to events
    - Define Number ranges
    Have you faced up a similar requirement? Is this a legal requierement or is my client mixing up with another legal requierement related to this subject:  To print a sequential number and the fiscal year on each page of the reportu2019s output list. The System starts the numbering automatically at 1, as it does for each subsequent year.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello All,
    Am facing an issue when implementing the ODN solution for Italy. I cannot replicate the ODN in field BKPF-XBLNR_ALT when posting Invoice via MIRO.
    1. I have Defined a Document Class per VAT Book
    2. I have Assign a Document Class to Document Types (in my example Document Type "RE" to Document class "43". And select "Generate Official Document Number, with date control".
    3. I have mantained Number ranges
    4. I have Assign the Number ranges to Document Class.
    5. In order to transfer the ODN from Billing docs to Accounting docs I have entered the Document Type "RV" at Billing Document Type level.
    It all works as expected except for the Accounting documents coming from Logistic Invoice verification - MIRO transaction. Document Type "RE" is used for posting but my field BKPF-XBLNR on Accounting document remains blank.
    Is there any additional step am missing?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

  • Accessing page items in the document but outside the page bounds

    I'm as new to indesign as I am to indesign scripting so bear with me and my lack of termonology. I have page items that are in the whitespace that is in the document but outside the page bounds. I have access to all the page items that are even partially on the page using the myPage.pageItems. However this collection doesn't include those page items that aren't touching that page. So is there anyway to access those page items in the whitespace outside the page?

    OK, so where are you stuck?
    If you have a variable, say, page, that is a particular page, where page.pageItems is all the items on that page, then page.parent.pageItems will be all the items on the spread, which includes the pasteboard surrounding it.
    Good?

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • How to convert a large document into a InDesign Book w/Chapters?

    Hello!
    I just started a position with a company that has a number of catalogs full of the widgets they sell. Previously the catalog work was outsourced to a company that uses Quark, and the first thing I did when I started was to convert them to InDesign using a 3rd party plugin.
    The one I'm working on now is 400+ pages, including a TOC and 2 indexes (words / item nos.), and is currently 4 VERY large files that take 5-10 minutes each to open.
    What I'd like to do is split the entire catalog along logical lines into a bunch of 10-50 page documents, then stitch them all back together as Chapters in a Book file. The plan is to have the smaller documents be usable either as stand-alone brochures or as pieces of the big catalog. Once I can get it all organized the way I want, I'll be redoing the TOC and indexes as well.
    So, to boil it down to a few questions:
    1. How do I split a large document into smaller pieces?
    2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
    3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
    4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
    A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!

    Saving x-number of copies as new names, then chop off the unwanted parts is pretty efficient.
    2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
    Nothing specific, other than learning the ins and outs of working with book files. For example, if you change a style in one file, you'd want to use the Synchronize feature to propagate the change to the other files, but you'd also need to remember if any change in one file shouldn't be propagated to others, and deselect it in the Synchronize dialog box.
    It's a good idea to open all and save all book files before doing any book-wide operation; even better to save the whole directory for safety. Working on open  files gives you some undo powers that working with closed files doesn't.
    3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
    The individual files need to be checked and perhaps updated or have their numbering restarted when they're removed from the book file's control. It depends on how you've set up the numbering.
    4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
    A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!
    Both TOC and Index have check boxes to include all files in the current book. You need to update the TOC, and generate the index again with Replace Existing Index checked, after making changes.

  • Can I modify my Address Book with Excel?

    It looks like I should be able to with the Desktop Software, Organizer, Address Book, Ascii Importer/Exporter
    But the sequence of steps involved stumps me.
    I want to do 3 things:
    1) Export my Address Book from my 8330 to a Windows file.
    (I did this once, after trying many combinations, but I then forgot the sequence.
    It created a file called ..My Documents/Blackberry/contacts
    2) I want to modify the data with Excel. I seem to be able to do this by loading the contacts file as "comma delimited". Then I touch up the names and addresses and then save as type "comma delimited" contacts.cvs
    I'm guessing that's the way to do it. If not, I need specifics.
    3) I then want to import the file back to the 8330.
    Here I am completely lost. It keeps wanting to export only.

    Hi JustCurious,

  • How do I maintain bookmarks in multiple documents when exporting a book file to PDF?

    I am using a book file to organize 10 individual indesign documents. Each document has its own set of bookmarks and links, and their are links that go to other documents within the book as well. How do I (using CS3) print my book file to PDF while maintaining all the interactive components? I want my complete list of bookmarks to appear within the bookmark pane, and I want all of the interactive links in the document to work when they are clicked in the PDF. Doing this for one document is simple, set the preferences to enable the bookmarks and links. However, none of these PDF export settings seem to work when printing the entire book.
    Help!

    I had it open, just wasn't looking in the right spot. Found it... thanks a bundle. This has made my day... as long as the bookmarks work when I export.
    Thanks!
