How do I create a master page when using Project7 templates?

Hi,
I am using P7 templates to easily create a nice website. However, I would like to create for example the main menu only once and have it re-used on every page or at least every page I want to. I think this is a called a masterpage (?) where you can tag parts to be re-used on other pages.
Can somebody please tell me where I can find support, examples, tutorials on this? Or can somebody tell me how to do this in a P7 template?
Thanks in advance!!

You want to save your project page as a DW Template from which your other site pages will be spawned. Or, you want to use Server-Side Includes (SSIs).

How do I create a Master Page?

I'm creating a page layout document with each page containing one or two photos on the left side and a bulleted list for each photo on the right. The doc is 150 pages and I'd like to create two different master pages - a one-photo layout and a two-photo layout. I can't find how to create a master page.
I have added guide lines and then duplicate the page and change the photo and text, but I'd love to create a set of master pages. Seems like a good skill to have. Thanks for any help.

The Pages09_UserGuide.pdf does a poor job of explaining how to create a working template with master layouts.
For a start *Chapter 13 Designing Your Own Document Templates* doesn't acknowledge the difference between *Word Processing mode* and *Layout mode* with all instructions being only for Word Processing mode and even those are incomplete.
Pages in *Layout mode* does not have master pages it has what you might call an internal template, with the page layout being inserted from the Pages button on the toolbar or:
+Menu > Insert > Pages > select from thumbnail+
This is like a page duplicator, with none of it being retrospective as far as I can see. Once you insert a page, changing the original Pages layout does not actually change any page based on it. To change an existing Page design you have to remember its name perfectly down to case sensitive and save a new version over the existing version or go to a completely separate menu item to delete and add designs.
You create the Page designs, I hesitate to call them masters, by laying out a sample page and with an object selected on that page:
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name the Page+
Despite the confusing plural in +Capture Pages…+ it only captures the one page with all other options greyed out.
Worse still it does not seem to retain any of the facing page information except for the header and footer, plunking down the page irregardless of whether it is left or right or part of a pair even though it lets you click +Facing Pages+ in the Inspector.
It is hard for me to imagine how they could have created a more muddled, confusing and incomplete arrangement for tasks that were well established on the Mac back in the early 80's when Apple started the DTP revolution 25 years ago.
I am repeating myself but it seems like a product designed by a committee that never uses it.

How do you create a new page when user checks a box?

I guess it would be a check box. I'm looking for a way to have the user select create a new page when the user runs out of space in the text box that is given. So if its possible is there a way to create a new page with a continuing text box when the user has selected the create a new page check box. Thanks.

Hi,
You can achieve this by just making some changes to the textfield (and the page layout).
First, select the textfield and then in the Layout palette, tick 'expand' height to fit'. When you preview the form, you will see that as you type information into the field, a scroll bar will appear. When you exit the field, it will expand automatically to display the full contents.
Now the problem will be that the textfield will expand over objects that are positioned below it - not good!
So what you need to do is set up your form for a flowed layout. First select all of the objects that do not grow in size and wrap them inside a 'positioned subform'. When you select the subform you can see this setting in the Object > Subform palette. You should name the subforms in the hierarchy. So you will end up with a positioned subform above your textfield and a positioned subform beneath your textfield (if you have objects beneath it).
Then select page1 in the hierarchy and in the Object > Subform palette, change the content to 'flowed'. Hopefully the layout won't change too much (because you will have most of your objects in their positioned subform).
Last step is to select the textfield and in the Object > Field palette tick 'Allow page breaks within content'. This tells Acrobat/Reader to split the object if it overflows onto a new page.
Now save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save as dialog and previewed it. Now when the textfield expands it will push objects beneath it down. Also when it gets to the bottom of the page, it will start a new page automatically and continue the content on the new page.
Here is an example:
https://acrobat.com/#d=kwa4t2vu6mXbgMCyqEF0aQ
Paul Guerette is giving an online tech talk on dynamic forms on the 30 November, which I would recommend. Details here:

How do I create jump to (page) links using DPS in creating a digital page turner for a catalog?

I know how to use "navto" to jump to pages within the catalog created for our app.
We want to use the same article files to create a digital page turner using DPS but cannot figure out how to do it. Google searches lead to answers that say it isn't possible, but if i view a page turner I created in 3D Issue via Adobe's Content Viewer, the pages jump (via the links I made in 3D Issue).
I just can't believe that a huge company like Adobe has no way to do this in DPS.

On pages you do not want to show-up delselect "include page in navigation menu" in the page inspector:

How can I hide the master page when saving a pdf?

I designed a form that uses a master page so that I can use headers and footers without changing 10 different pages. When I save to PDF so the form can be filled out it saves the Master Page as the first page though it has no content. I have to save the PDF as a static file because it needs to be filled out on the iPad.
Anyhelp please?

Hmm,
Not really. Acrobat must display at least one page of the form. You can set the presence of all of your Design Pages to hidden, but Acrobat will display at least one instance of the Master Page.
The Master Page is available in LC Designer for objects that you want to repeat on more than one page. Yes, typically this includes header and footer objects.
If you want to hide all of your main form pages, then include a blank page and display this when hiding all of the other pages. See an example here: http://assure.ly/frjYW5.
There is also an example here for displaying/hiding pages on a loop: http://assure.ly/kyMP6l.
Hope that helps,

How to remove unnecessary blank(white) page when using FileDownload UI

Hi, all.
My env is like the following.
NW2004s SPS11.
i tried the file upload/download sample.
Uploading and Downloading Files in SAP NetWeaver 7.0
/people/bertram.ganz/blog/2007/05/25/new-web-dynpro-java-tutorials--uploading-and-downloading-files-in-sap-netweaver-70
Of course, it works well in normal situation but FileDownload shows
unnecessary behavior like the following.
- How to produce : Download file with allowSave behavior option
- Phenomena : File Download pop-up window is displayed but the
    unnecessary blank(white) page also displayed and this page
    persists even when the download is finished.
And is there any way to remove this unnecessary page behind the
pop-up window?
Best Regards.　
Sejoon

Hi,
    It is not possible to close the blank window that appears while downloading programmatically from within your Web Dynpro application. The user must manually close it.

How can I create an ftp site when using Airport Express?

I am very new to computers and have never used a Mac before. I'd like to create an FTP connection with a friend in another city to get large files transfered. I've followed the instructions in the Sharing pane but my friend still isn't able to get through. I'm assuming it's because there is a firewall in the Airport express and I need to create a port to get the files through. Can anyone help with this? I seem to be having trouble creating an address that works. I also seem to have a non-static IP address since it changes each time I check it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

See Steve Newstrum's user tip "How do I use Port Mapping (Part I)"

Help! The new Pages. I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. In the new formatt also when I insert a new page when using a template it doesn't give me the formatting and guides. Can anyone help.

I can't copy an entire page or rearrange the pages. I use this feature a lot, particularly at this time of year. Can't seen to rmove the header and footer markers either.
Can anyone help or do I need to revert back to pages 09?
If I do re-install 09 will I be able to open the files that where converted to the new version?
I don't like this new one. Many of the graphics features have been removed. Not impressed at all. Very frustrated.
The business card templates and others behave strangly. If I insert a page it's blank only. I don't get the guides. I was in the middle of a design project and had to start again from scratch as it threw everything out of alignment and I can't copy an entire page. When I use select all, group then copy when I pasted it on the new page it overlayed all the cards in the top two segments. Frustrating ! I ended up saving my first page under a different name that was the only way to copy the page then I had to work between three documents instead of one.
I went in today to last years Christmas tag file and the same issues I can't copy a page. I can't rearrange the pages.
Simple features like colour choice and transperency for shapes are gone. I want to use my colour choices not someone else.
Sorry, I am ranting.
For now all I need is to be able to copy and switch pages around in one document.
Please Help! I am about to start pulling my hair out in frustration.

Yes, I am using 09 with out issues. Just have to remember to use "open with 09" or open pages 09 first then my document.
I create some amazing cards and posters with 09 that when on a PC I would have to use both Word and Publisher to create. Flipping back and forth.
Apple if you're listening please, give us back our layout options and even add a few more design options like beveled and 3D text.

How do i create a greeting card without using the template? I want a different size.

I want to use a different size than the templates. The size is A2 which is half of a 8/12 by 11 paper then folded in half. (that way you can print twocards per page). I want to be able to \ resize my image to fit this size, add text to the front half with the image and a little text on the back.

In Editor, go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions of your paper stock (8 1/2x11"). Resolution 300px/in.
Copy/paste the image to each half of the card.
Use the move tool to position, and, to resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.
Place the text with the type tool.
Suggest that you open the grid to help with orientation (View>tick grid). It will not print.

How should I tag content created in a master page when addressing accessibility before exporting to Acrobat? I can't add the content to the articles panel because it's locked. I would also like to know how I should tag my cove content. I don't want the reader to get lost in content other than the body of the report, but I also don't want to ignore some content completely by tagging it as artifacts. What should I do y'all?
Thanks,

Hi Rob,
From the screen shots it looks like your script is not formatted properly (you may refer to 'Paladin Script' in 'Sample Project' to get an idea of how the script should be formatted.).
Further please follow the steps mentioned below to use Story to PP workflow.
Create a new Film script in Adobe Story
Create scene heading – INT. LOCATION – Day (these will show up in the outline view panel on left hand side)
Hit enter, hit TAB
Enter the name of the speaker, hit TAB or ENTER
Copy over the transcribed text
Build your script this way
Number scenes from the production menu
Export ASTX file for your script : File->Export->.astx
Open Premiere Pro
Create a new project, bring in media
In the project pane, find the "Scene" column
For the clip that contains the spoken text, assign the same scene number to the clip as you have in the story script (lets say both are scene 1)
Click out of the scene box in the project panel in Ppro
Right click on the scene that you just assigned a scene number to and select – attach Story script
Select the .astx fle you exported in step 8
Click ok
You should now see the script data in the metadata panel for the clip in the metadata panel.
You can now run speech to text based on "Embedded Script metadata" to time align spoken word to the script.
Let us know if this is helpful.
Thanks

How to I export a master page?

I see the option to import a master page, but no option to export one. How does one export master pages from a project?

Hi there
To my knowledge there is no method offered to export a Master Page. At least, not from the UI.
When you create a Master Page, you are creating a file bearing the extension of .HTT. When you are viewing the Master Pages pod, try right-clicking one of the .HTT files you see. You should see an option on the context menu labeled "Explore". Click that option and Windows Explorer should open at the file location where your Master Page files are. Note that you will see other project files there as well. Master Pages are co-mingled with other files in the project.
Locate the .HTT file of choice and copy it where you wish.
Cheers... Rick

How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file? I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page. I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image. This is for a very simple question/answer book. The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something. I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified.
Is this possible?

Have yiu tried the PopOver widget? You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

Create horizontal master page?

How do I create a horizontal master page?
According to the Adobe documentation that I've found, the way to do this is in Document Setup. But I don't want the entire document to be horizontally aligned. I just want one page to be horizontally aligned. I thought the way to accomplish this would be to create a master page with a horizontal alignment. What is the easiest and best way to do that?

Are you preparing a file for print or presentation?
If it is print, I would keep the orientation of all pages the same, and rotate content for the horizontal page. Rotate the Spread View as necessary to edit content.
If it is for presentation, it depends what version of Indesign you are using.
-If it is CS5 or higher, then you can define multiple page sizes in one document
-If it is CS4 or lower and final product is a PDF, then I would keep the orientation of all pages the same, and rotate the horizonal page in Acrobat

How do I create a master track from my tracks in garage band?

How do I create a master track in garage band

Hi Bing,
Are you asking about the master track which controls the global settings in a GarageBand project? Here is the information from the GarageBand user manual:
GarageBand Help: Work with the master track
http://help.apple.com/garageband/mac/10.0/#gbnd5e8076d0
Work with the master track
Each GarageBand project has a master track. When you show the master track, it appears below the last track in the Tracks area.
You can control the overall playback volume of a project using the Volume slider in the control bar or on the master track. Both sliders act as a master volume control for the overall project.
Generally speaking, you should adjust the output volume to a level high enough to eliminate background noise, but not high enough to cause clipping. You can check for clipping by watching the clipping indicators in the master level meter.
You can easily add a fade-out to the end of a project, so that the sound gradually fades to silence.
When you add a fade-out, four control points are added to the master track for the project. The first control point is added 10 seconds before the end of the last region in the project, the second at 7 seconds, the third at 4 seconds, and the fourth at the end of the last region.
Show the master track
Choose Track > Show Master Track.
The master track appears below the last track in the Tracks area.
Cheers,
- Judy
