Help with setting up a book

I'm creating an ebook, not really pulling in different chapters, I have the whole book in one Word document.  Is there a way to copy all the text from the Word doc and somehow paste it into InDesign and have it automatically flow through, creating the pages that it needs?  Or do I have to go to page one, create a text box, paste the text, grab the overflow text, go to page 2, paste, etc. etc.  Since it's 80 pages, that could get tedious.  There has to be a better way, anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Here's the basics of bringing your word file into ID. Before you start, make sure there are no unaccepted changes to the file (track changes), and do a save as to reduce any wierd stuff.
Set up your ID file with the page size and margins you want. For multipage documents I usually choose facing pages, but I don't know enough about ebooks to know if that woudl be appropriate or amake any difference at all.
From the File menu choose Place... and navigate to your Word file. Check the Show Import Options box and click OK. You can prederve the styling or map Word styles to ID styles (or edit them later). When you are returned to the empty page you will have a loaded cursor or "Place Gun." Hold down the shift key and click where you want the text to begin. InDesign will add pages and frames inside the margin guides until all the text has been flowed onto a page.

  • Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

    Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
    Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
    you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

  • I need help with setting up time machine for backup

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.

  • Need Help with setting up this Filter

    Hi,
    I need help making a filter sound like the one used in this youtube song.
    I tried setting it up but I've had no success; even though I know for a fact that this filter was made in Logic Pro 9 according to the maker of this song.
    I think there might be a bit of 'Fuzz-Wah' in there too but I've never really used that effect so any tips on that would be great, too.
    Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf017M8SZZE&feature=plcp
    Any help with this would be widely appreciated.
    Thank you :-)

    It sounds like a simple hi Q filter sweep to me but getting close to the original synth sound that it is being used on is the challenge. It might well be that it is the filter on the synth itself is what is being swept. Either way, turn up the filter resonance on a band pass filter and sweep it with the lfo or adsr to modulate the filter cutoff if its the synth filter, or automate the filter frequency  sweep if you use the channel filter.

  • Need help with Set-ADUser command

    I need a little help with the following command. Im new to PS and I have found this command but it is only one user at a time. I need to be able to update ALL users in AD.
    My goal is this. Someone before me set all Users Home numbers to 1234567899 and I need to remove that and leave it blank. The command below allows me to do that but only one user at a time by entering their SAMID.
    Is there a way to do this for everyone in AD ?
    Set-AdUser –Identity SAMID –HomePhone $NULL

    Yeah sure - 
    Get-Aduser -filter * -properties SamaccountName | Select SamAccountName | % {Set-Aduser -identity $_.SamaccountName -HomePhone $null}

    LinkedList<Rectangle> rects = new LinkedList<Rectangle>();rects is an empty LinkedList at this point. It has no elements added to it.
    rects.set(1,myrectangle);So you can't set the item at index 1 (the 2nd element in the list) because it doesn't even exist. You need to add items to it.

  • New computer ~ Help with setting up

    Hi everyone, Newbie here!
    I am going to set my new computer up tomorrow. The computer I am using at present was installed and set up by someone else so this will be a great learning curve for me. Also I had Infinity installed by the engineer.
    Is everything I need to install relating to my broadband available to download? What do I need altogether? I spoke to a BT chap on the phone and he said he would help by remote access. I am a bit nervous of this!
    I need to ensure my computer is safe and secure and it all seems technically daunting. Norton security came with  my Microsoft Office package. Is this better than McAfee (Net Protect Plus), do I need both? What about a key code scrambler  (someone mentioned this to me). As you can see I need reassurance and help arghhhhhhh.
    A step by step guide would be great!
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It is best not to install any of the BT software, just connect your computer to the BT Home hub using an Ethernet cable, or by using the wireless key, if its a wireless connected computers.
    See http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14964/~/getting-started-with-wireless
    Using a direct cable connection is best, if you want to get maximum speed.
    I would not allow anyone remote access, but if you have no choice, and cannot resolve the issue any other way, then make sure that it is as a direct result of you ringing BT, and not some random person ringing you at home, pretending to be from BT or even Microsoft.
    Many people have been caught out by that type of call, and had their computer infected with spyware.
    If you already have a trial version of Norton Security, then by all means use it until it expires, then uninstall it.
    After that, you have the choice of using the free Microsoft Security Essentials, which is preferred by many forum members, or using BTs Netprotect which is free with some broadband packages. This has been known to make computers run more slowly though.
    That is all you need.
    If you have any problems, then please return here.
    If you have any problems with BT Infinity, then please visit the Infinity board on this forum.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Help with setting a MDX goal expression in SSAS

    Our data is updated monthly and the last date of available data can be anywhere from 45-75 days behind.  For example, data is current through 6/30/2014
    as of 8/25/2014.
    I have a Time dimension hierarchy named [Calendar] with [Year]>[Half Year]>[Quarter]>[Month]>[Date] 
    I have a measure, [Measures].[Fatalities] set as a calculated member.
    I have a KPI with [Measures].[Fatalities] set as the Value Expression. My issue is with setting up the goal expression.
    I am trying to set a goal expression that is a percent reduction for a 5-year baseline average (Year-7:Year-3). So for the current year (2014, with data through
    June 2014), the goal would be a 20% reduction of the average of the Jan-Jun 2007, Jan-Jun 2008,Jan-Jun 2009,Jan-Jun 2010,Jan-Jun 2011.
    I have set up the following MDX as the goal expression:
    .8*((
    ([Measures].[Fatalities],
    PARALLELPERIOD([Time].[Calendar].[Year],7,[Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember))
    +
    ([Measures].[Fatalities],
    PARALLELPERIOD([Time].[Calendar].[Year],6,[Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember))
    +
    ([Measures].[Fatalities],
    PARALLELPERIOD([Time].[Calendar].[Year],5,[Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember))
    +
    ([Measures].[Fatalities],
    PARALLELPERIOD([Time].[Calendar].[Year],4,[Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember))
    +
    ([Measures].[Fatalities],
    PARALLELPERIOD([Time].[Calendar].[Year],3,[Time].[Calendar].CurrentMember))
    )/5
    The problem is that the goal is taking the entire year average at the year level of the Calendar hierarchy.  For example, in the attached screenshot, the
    Fatalities Goal would be empty when the fatalities is empty, and more importantly, the goal at the Year level of the Calendar hierarchy would only be the sum of Jan-Jun goal.  The Fatalities Goal in this example should read 549.28 at the Calendar 2014
    Year level and the status would still be green.

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards
    Last edited by Shashwat (2011-06-04 09:47:47)

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

  • Need more hard drive space.  Help with install WD My Book Studio 1TB EHD.

    My MacBook Pro has no more disk space.  I'm not tech savy so I'm hesitant to install Western Digital My Book Studio 1TB purchased.  I read somewhere not to install the smartware that comes with this external drive because it might cause problems when running Time Machine.  I want to move my photos on to EHD to free up space and start up Time Machine.  Is there anything I should do first before attempting this.  I have not upgraded to Lion yet should I do this after freeing up space and setting up Time Machine.  I'm wondering if it will ask me questions during process that I won't be sure to accept or not. I'd appreciate any help or tips. 

    Do not install any software from WD. Prep the drive as follows:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Need help with setting PATH in Windows 98

    Hi
    Can anyone please help me!!!
    I am new to java and I am confuse how to set the path in my pc. I have a windows 98, I downloaded the Java 2 SDK Standard Edition v 1.4.1 from the CD that came with the fifth edition "Java How to Program" book. I followed the instruction in how to set PATH permanently but it is not working. When I open my AUTOEXEC.BAT this is what I have:
    @ECHO OFF
    rem
    rem *** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! ***
    rem
    rem This file was created by the System Configuration Utility as
    rem a placeholder for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Your actual

    If anybody can please help, I'd greatly appreciate it...
    Thank you
    Gem

    I added the C:\J2SDK1.4.1\BIN and the end of
    PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRA~1\SSHCOM~1\SSHSEC~1 but it iswell, you could have written that directory wrong...
    are you sure that your java is in J2SDK1.4.1 ? for me
    that directory has _02 at the end of it as well...
    it also might be that you didn't separate your path
    element with ';'
    that's important too.
    you could try it from dos-prompt like that:
    set PATH=%PATH%;c:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin
    if it works from dos-prompt, then it should work in
    autoexec as well...
    HTHThank you very much for your help!!!
    I tried what you suggest set PATH=%PATH%;c:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin in the dos-prompt and it worked, but it didn't work in the autoexec.bat. I am getting "Out of environment space".

  • Please Please help with set up

    Had my time capsule for 6 months and I can not get it to sync with my Mac Book Pro.  When I set up the wireless part the internet works great.  When I open up time machine it says "connecting to back up volume" then "time machine backup disk can't be found".  It then asks to set up time machine which I click on then turn time machine on, then "select disk" which give me the option of "none" or "data on time capsule" When I click on "data on time capsule" it asks for my password which i set up on time capsule then it says invalid password.  I just get stuck there. 
    When I go to finder I can set up the time machine to manually drop some files on there but when I do the internet does not work.  I have to hit the little reset button on the time capsule to reset it and I just leave it alone and the internet comes back on.  I have been doing this back and forth as I am trying to move some pictures over to the time capsule because my memory is so full I don't have room to update any programs. 
    I know this is long winded but there has got to be something I am missing.  I really am at the end of my rope trying to get this to work.  Many thanks in advance for any help. 

    Suggest that you open AirPort Utility, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Time Capsule tab just below the row of icons.
    Enter a new Time Capsule Password here and confirm that again. Write that password down.
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the File Sharing tab
    Make sure that the setting for Secure Shared Disks = With Time Capsule password
    Update to save settings
    Restart the Mac
    Try to access the disk again entering the new password that you created

  • Help with putting my library book in to my nook

    When I click and drag my library book to
    the nook icon,from my AED,  and im connected to my nook, when I try to open my book and read it on my nook it says "user not activate" What do I do?

    This kind of error may relate to your Nook and how you set it up, not to the
    book you transferred.  ADE doesn't know anything about how you've set up the
    Nook.  All it sees is an ereader connected to the computer, and what kind it
    is.
    I don't know what information you need to 'activate' your Nook with its
    parent website, so I'm afraid I can't help you check this aspect out.
