Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc

Formatted master pages don't auto update in multipage indd doc. When a page is added/removed, folios and rules remain in right page orientation even if they've just become left hand pages, and vice versa. Forced to keep taking the additional steps of applying master to pages which is incredibly annoying/did not use to happen.

  • Master Pages don't transfer when I change page size in a book

    I had exactly the same problem in CS4, which is why I switched to CS5.5 -- but apparently nothing has changed.
    I have a book of about 30 chapters.  It was originally set up in 6x9 format, but after it was all formatted, my client decided he wanted the pages 5x8.
    It should be easy, right?  Just change the layout for the master pages of the Style Source document, fix the text sizing, etc.  Then in each ensuing chapter, just download the new masters from the style source document.  When I get a warning asking me if the master pages in the target document should be overwritten, I say yes and it does its thing.
    Only it doesn't work.  Oh, the text in the masters is all over the place, which is to be expected -- but the master pages and the book pages are still 6x9, not 5x8.
    I tried synchronizing the book, being careful that Master Pages is checked in the options.  I got a warning that some of the text would need to be fixed.  No problem.  Except that the pages in all the documents except the Style Source are still 6x9!!
    I have a feeling I've wasted my money on the upgrade.  A lot of bells and whistles have been added, but the CS4 problems aren't solved.
    Please, can somebody help?  I do this for a living, and I'm wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to clean up messes like these.

    No, Peter, I never solved it.  But thank you for asking!
    I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages.  I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages.  Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
    But it was still a lot of work.
    I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

  • CS4 master pages don't transfer

    I created a book using a 6x9 format, but after I got the entire 39 chapters formatted, I realized I needed to switch to 5x8 format.  It should be easy -- just move the new masters I created in Chapter 1 to the other chapters.  Only it doesn't work.
    I did what the instructions said:  opened both chapters 1 and 2 and in the Page flyout menu, selected "move pages".  I selected Chapter 2 as my destination.  But nothing happened.  The masters in Chapter 2 are still 6x9.
    I tried synchronizing the entire book using Chapter 1 as the Style Source, but that doesn't work, either.  None of the masters changed.  Yes, I selected Master Pages in the Synchronization menu.
    I also tried to import master pages using the Pages flyout menu.  That didn't work, either.
    I even tried deleting the 6x9 master pages.  Well, that was a disaster!  InDesign crashed. 
    Having to reformat all the masters for all 39 chapters is ridiculous, but I can't see any other way to do it.
    HELP!!

  • Custom master pages don't appear in all site collections within same App

    I created an additional site collection within an existing application which has a preexisting site collection.
    The preexisting site collection uses a custom master page:
    .../_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
    that doesn't appear in
    .../newsite/_Layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
    Anything I need to do in
    .../_catalogs/masterpage/forms/allitems.aspx
    to apply the masterpage to the new site?
    <label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl00_ctl00_resetSubSitesCheckBox">Thanks,</label>
    Scott<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_ctl00_ctl00_resetSubSitesCheckBox"></label>

    Hey,
    I don't get the problem completely. I undestand that your custom masterpage, which you created once for an existing site collection, does not appear in a newly created site collection. So what where your deployment steps for the custom masterpage?
    Generally you would create the masterpage via Visual Studio and deploy it within a feature to the catalogs library, either in web-scope or in site-scope. A feature event receiver applys the masterpage to the current website (in web-scope) or to all webs
    in the site collection (in site-scope) on feature activating. But in both scopes you need to active the feature in every site collection (or website).
    So please tell us how you deployed the masterpage.

  • Web Views Still Don't Auto Update in Keynote '08

    So much to my disappointment, the web view feature still doesn't auto update in a self-running presentation. The web views still only update when you first open the document, and then not until you close it and re-open it again.
    We have a kiosk at our company that shows slides with websites that have information that change during the day. Unfortunately it only shows the website's state as of when the document was opened, but it doesn't update as the presentation runs throughout the day.
    Dang!!! I thought they were going to fix this.

    It looks like this is an "as designed" feature. It updates the web view when the presentation launches, but won't do it each time it cycles through.
    Bummer, but oh well. Maybe iLife '09

  • Layers of Smart Playlists don't auto update

    I set up a smart playlist that only included songs not played in the past week (called 'unrecent'). This list dropped from about 200 songs to 150 songs last night after playing a lot of tunes.
    I have another smart playlist that combines the above 'unrecent' list with my favourites (with about 20 songs). After docking the iPod however the combined list (called 'prime') still showed 220 songs in the list.
    Only after editing the 'prime' smart playlist (without actually changing anything) did the playlist drop back down to about 170 songs.
    Why wont this work automatically (with having to force it through by editing)? Please note, the basic smart playlist (unrecent) DID automatically update, just the other list that used it DIDN'T.
    shuffle and 30gig   Windows XP   & eMac

    Are they both set to auto update?
    I have not nested smart lists inside smart lists. It may be a quirk in the program.

  • Master pages don't update site wide

    I made a change to my "a" master. Dragging the footer further down. the only way I can get it to update the other pages is to apply, let's say the "b" master to a page then change it back to the "a" master. that is the only way it reflects the change i made. Has anyone else had this problem?

    The test site I was working on was done with the very first release with many updates done. I just created a new site and everything seems to work just fine. On a side note, you hear about all the things muse can't do. All are very true, I've built a couple of sites with DW and have spent countless hours in chat rooms and forums trying to figure out things like styling wigets, absoulte DIV's, z-index for menus and on and on. Then when I go back a couple of months later to try and add some pages, I can't remember what the heck I did when I first created the site. Sound familiar?
    I'm very comfortable in the InDesign enviroment which helps when using muse. The trade off for that work flow for me is worth the things that aren't yet in muse. It's nice for me to get into muse and see my vision come to life without the brain damage.

  • How to auto update a section on all pages.

    Hi,
    I have a section on the right hand side of a website I'm developing containing txt and it's controlled by CSS which also appears on all the other pages, so what I want to be able to do is when I add a new bit of text to it on one page it will auto update with the new txt on all the other pages to save me copying and pasting the same bit of txt on all the pages.
    Hope that made sense and hope someone can help.
    Thanks

    You can use Dreamweaver Templates or use serverside include.   (SSI)
    Using the template function within Dreamweaver is a good way to go if it's a small site . .
    For larger sites then serverside includes would be more practical and earlier for maintenance purposes.
    Templates:
    You create a master template page, you declare which areas will be the same for every page, (non-editable regions)  and then declare an area that will change on every page (the content area) , these are editable regions.
    Once you create the template and save it, you are then able to create 'child' pages from this template  - as many as you like  :-)  If you every need to make a change to the menu or the footer or the header, change it in the master template, save it and the changes will flow through to the child pages created from the template.
    Using DW Templates:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/templates.html
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_templates.html
    The other option is to use Server Side Includes (SSI)
    A bit more about SSIs here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f 693f21-7b6ca.html
    http://bignosebird.com/ssi.shtml
    One major difference between using Templates and SSI?
    When you make a change to a template page, you will need to re-upload all the pages to the server that were changed - may become very tedious if it is a very large site.
    With using SSI, you make a change to one file and only have to upload the one file and all pages on the server will be update accordingly.
    When to use Templates, Library Items & SSIs -

  • How to display more than 10 rows in an Auto Updating Report

    I followed Carl Backstorm's example, http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:40:525653462286833::NO:RP:: to create a page with an auto update report/region. It's working fine (thanks, Carl) but I can't have the report display all rows (38 rows in total). Everytime I press the "Manual Refresh" button, it shows 10 (the first 10) rows only.
    When the report displays at the first time, it shows all the rows (38 rows). Number of Rows and Maximum Row Count are set to 999999 and "No Pagination Selected" in the report region. But after I press the "Manual Refresh" button or specifiy an update time value (like 1 second) to have it auto update, then it only display the first 10 rows.
    Is there a way to display more than 10 rows in an Auto Updating Report using Carl's example auto update report/page? Anyone can help? Thank you.

    Yes, I changed it to:
    function table_object(pId){
         this.id = pId;
         this.start_record = 1;          //optional
         this.num_record = 50; //optional
         this.num_record2 = 50;          //optional
    I don't quite understand how these vaiables are used for though. Thanks.

  • Master Page Mappings

    Hi, fellow FrameMaker enthusiasts.
    My template contains reference pages on which elements are mapped to master pages. When I open an XML file in FrameMaker, FM asks me if I want to apply the master pages to each page in the document. This is tedious and time consuming in a ditamap containing 30 files.
    I thought the mapped master page application would only take place when you select Format > Master Pages > Apply Master Pages. Is this not true? Am I doing something wrong?
    I've consulted the help and several books and found no helpful information.
    Regards,
    Barbara

    Is that the right approach? - yeah sure it is
    I can now see two update rules one is Z update rule for 0PLANT and the other one is the business content.
    Yeah actually there are not two update rules, infact one is update rule and the other is transformation. You can now delete the old update rule(3.x)
    Is it ok to delete to business content one.
    Yeah it is ok. If you dont want to, you can keep the update rule and never use, but whats the use, go ahead and delete it.
    Why do we need to copy the Infosource??
    The old is a 3.x infosource and that IS is being used by the object in the update rules. So you would need to create a new infosource. Even when you create a new infosource you have 2 options, 3.x or a 7.0 one.

  • Setting the custom master page through powershell is NOT working

    Hi,
    Is it a publishing page? If yes can you try the PowerShell scripts corresponding to the following code snippet?
    var publishingWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
    publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
    publishingWeb.CustomMasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
    publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetInherit(inheritFromParent, false);
    publishingWeb.MasterUrl.SetValue(masterPageUrl, false);
    I've noticed sometime (not sure though) that Master page doesn't get updated if the inherit property is not updated first.
    Thanks,

  • Include Master Page Items in Table of Contents

    I am building a table of contents in InDesign CS3. I've got paragraph style applied to my section heading and well as section subheadings. However, my sections headings are located on Master Pages (as they are repeating on several pages), and my section subheadings are located directly on the pages themselves (as they do not repeat).
    When I set up my table of contents only my section subheadings show up, not both. When I go to a page with a section heading and override the master page item and then update my table of contents my section header shows up. Is there any way to include my secion headers without overriding the master page items?
    -Carina

    I found this article about using Power Headers to override master frames that addresses the table of contents issue: http://in-tools.com/article/power-headers/power-headers-overrides-master-frames/
    Hope this helps!

  • Plug-Ins not auto-updating, but auto update is set.

    I wanted to warn others about this problem.
    I read an earlier answer where someone said that Plug-Ins won't auto-update, perhaps that is correct, but if Plug-Ins don't auto-update, why is there an auto-update feature?
    (Tools-AddOns-Updated Automatically & Check for Updates both don't catch that plug-ins are out of date).
    I'm not talking about random obscure programs, this is the Java Platform & Toolkit. Shouldn't the Add-Ons options clearly state that they don't automatically update or check for updates?
    Fortunately I have decent anti-virus software, but I didn't discover this until I picked up a Trojan and started reviewing every single program on my computer to see if I had missed any updates.

    Thanks, I just wanted to warn others if they got confused, the way the options are set up it is a little confusing for us who aren't familiar with the difference between Addons & Plugins, it looks like you are choosing an Auto-Update for the Plugins too.
    I also figured out that the Java program is not auto-updating even though I set the auto-update feature on the program itself (which has nothing to do with any Firefox issues), so I will have to remember to check their support and also manually check the program pretty often.
