Images and caption for epub

Hi,
I have a lot of pictures with captions in my ebook and want them to appear together on the same page. My pictures are anchored in the center of the page so are the captions.
I tried to group them but still the image and caption appears most of the time on a separate page. I even tried to put the caption on top of the picture but still the caption and image are on a separate page.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!!

here it is:
I get this:

Thanks for your help.

CS5 - Exporting images and captions to epub

I am exporting an inDesign document to epub and would like to create image captions that stay with their images as the text flows across page breaks.
I am anchoring the images inline to the text, and the images are fine. When it comes to the captions I am grouping the images with manually created captions in text boxes (prior to anchoring). The captions stay with the images while in inDesign, but when exported to epub the captions float separately and onto the next page without their images. And I have tried the built in live/static captions, but am having the same issue.
What are your recommendations for creating captions that stay with the images in an epub?
Thanks!

There is no way to get InDesign to automatically keep captions to images when exporting to epub other than making the caption a part of the image itself.
If you want to keep the caption live text then you have to edit the CSS. How to get this to work depends largely on what devices you plan on publishing your epub to.

Rollover Images and Captions

Can anyone give me a short, step by step way to
create rollover images with captions. I couldn't manage to get that
done, and when I read the Help screens within the application, it
didn't help either.
In particular, here was the problem: I was in Storyboard with
the slide highlighted that I wanted to add the rollover image and
caption. When I went up to the Insert drop-down menu and clicked on
Rollover Images, there were no images; I was simply taken to My
Documents.
I hope somebody can help. I've spent more than 4 hours trying
make this work. I'm SURE it's some little detail that I've failed
to pay attention to.
THANK YOU!
Dean

Hi Dean,
The "little detail that (you) failed to pay attention to" is
just that. In order to insert an image, you have to select the
image to insert. Use Windows Explorer (from \\My Documents\) to
navigate to \\My Documents\My Pictures\ or whereever else you keep
the image you wish to insert, and select it. Understand, it is up
to you to provide the image . . . it's not like you are selecting
from Captivate's own image gallery (though that is a cool idea, now
that I think of it - LOL!)
Your question indicates to me there might be some confusion
about what you want. You said you want "rollover images with
captions". There are rollover images which are just images to which
a mouseover action has been applied, and there are rollover
captions which are just normal captions to which a mouseover action
has been applied ... but there are no rollover images
with captions. The only way to have a rollover display a
caption is to create it yourself. And the "step-by-step" for doing
that is totally dependent on which image editor you are using
(Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Paint, etc.). But the gist of it is
below.
1) Open the image in your image editor - or create it there
2) Expand the canvas to create extra "blank" space on the
image (for the caption)
3) Use the "Text" tool to create your caption text and add it
to that blank space.
4) Save the image - BMP format works very well, but any
format supported by Captivate.
5) Close the image editor
6) Open or switch to Captivate and the slide on which you
want to place it.
7) Select "Insert > Rollover Image"
8) Select the image (with its included caption)
9) Set its attributes and position it on the slide.
Hope this helps. The reason you wont' find this in the "Help"
files is because it is a creative use of images that is not a
supported function of Captivate itself. If you would like to see
future versions of Captivate support the creation of
images-with-captions, the way to do it is to submit it as a feature
request. The form to do that
is
located at this link
Hope this helps.

Image navigation bar for ePub Children's book export?

I'm designing children's picture books in ID for export to ePub. I've seen some such books on my nook (ePub) that have an image navigation bar that pops up at the bottom of the page. Readers can scroll through reduced images of pages quickly on this navigation bar, tap a particular image and go directly to that page. I've looked through lots of tutorials but I don't see any that show how to do this. Can you point me to a tutorial that teaches me how to make this navigation bar?

Exploring further, I see that there are some examples on the web of experiments with JavaScript on iBooks (don't know if they're supported on the Nook).
Here's an example of a children's book interface from the Three Press Consulting blog:

Here's some commentary on another blog about experiments which extend beyond the EPUB specification:

Suggestion on how to include image and text in epub export

I have 12 images like the one below that are included in a book designed for print in ID but also exporting to an epub. I built the image in Photoshop because it needed a stroke and the stroke doesn't export from ID (?). Originally I build the entire image in PS with text. That exports fine.It is anchored inline. But the text is a bit blurry. So I tried just using the image+stroke from PS and then creating a text box in ID inside the image. Then the text and image separated when exported to epub. Any suggestions on how to do this effectively?
Mark

I would suggest just keeping the text when you export to epub and then building a div border to create the box around the text.

Title and subtitle for ePub project name

Can't even start my ePub project, because the title won't pass. I have tried several permutations after reviewing the Lulu knowledge base and the forum. Based on my understanding of information from this forum, the following should be OK:
Lessons from the Trenches: Perspectives of a Survivor CIO
But it doesn't pass. I have a print version which lowercases "survivor", and uses a dash with spaces on either side rather than the colon. I have tried spaces on either side of the colon but no dice.
What blindingly obvious error am I making? Please help!

It's "CIO" that is causing the error.
You can ignore the warning and carry on.
When your eBook is reviewed for distribution, the QA technician will recognize this as an acronym.

InDesign CS 5.5: Custom Footnote and style for ePub

Hello
i am wondering if there is away to:
create custom footnote, so instead of normal number i want to InDesign to create it with parentheses.
when i paste the text for that note at the bottom of the page, InDesign add extra space between the number and the text, is there any way to decrease the space

Hi, Omar:
In Type > Document Footnote Options, you can set a parenthesis or other prefix and suffix character. Adjust the space after the footnote number by choosing a separator; if you choose a tab, set the tab stop position for the footnote paragraph style. Create a footnote paragraph style if you don't have one, and specify it in the Footnote Formatting area of the Footnote Options dialog box.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign footnote formatting" without quotes for details.
I'm not sure how much of the formatting will be retained in an ePub.

Set Cell Editor Image and Caption to Rows in ALV

Hi,
i want to set cell editor different elements to a column of alv. Please follow the link of screenshot.
[www.menstasarim.com/mmesut/state1.JPG]
Can somebody help me pls?
Thanks.

yes it is possible, basically you have to change the cell desing (for background colors) and insert the icons based on some condition.
lr_col = lr_config_model->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'CARRID' ).
lr_col->SET_CELL_DESIGN( '02' ) .
this will change the background color, and you have to call another method to insert the icon.

Tagging an image with a callout and caption

The document is created in MSWord 2013. It contains screen captured images along with added call-outs and a caption for each (see image #2 below). The call-outs extend outside the image border. I used the 'group' option in Word to group each of the elements together as they tend to move around the page during the editing process. The 'picture' group is formatted as 'inline with text' or 'top and bottom'.
In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I am trying to fix the tags for the figures. Although each of the elements are group in Word, they are appearing as separate elements/tags. (see image #1 below) ...the image is one Figure, the call-out is another Figure and the caption is yet another Figure. How should I handle this type of situation? I have tried:
1. to tag all three elements as a 'Figure'. Sometimes this works; sometimes the caption and/or the text in the call-out disappear.
2. to tag all three elements as a 'Figure/Caption'; however, I get the same results as above...sometimes the caption and/or text in the call-out disappear.
3. I also tagged the call-out as 'background' and then tagged the image and caption together as either 'figure' or 'figure/caption'; however, when selecting the image and caption, I must select the call-out as well because of it's proximity to the image. End result: text in call-out disappears.
What is the proper way to tag in this situation?
As an aside, I find the entering the ALT text in MSWord does not carry over to the PDF. I've experimented with the too. I've added the ALT text to the image on its own and to the group. I've added it to the "Title" field; however, the ALT text field in the PDF is empty. I've given up on adding this in Word and now add them directly to the tag.
If someone can help point me in the right direction on how to fix the tag issues for images/callouts/caption, I'd be very grateful!!!!! (BTW, using a page layout application is not an option. I must use MSWord 2013 to create my documents.)

HI 'C' student!
Thanks for the info. I will give the Content pane a try.
I think my Word 2013 might have a bug. When i enter text into either the 'title' field or the 'description' field, the text does not move over or wrap around so that i can fully see what i've entered. i wonder if this is impacting the carry-over into the pdf file?
the company I work for does not 'officially' support this version of Word, as i am an 'early adoptor' of this version. until the rest of the company moves to this version, i'm kinda on my own. i am going to see who i can speak with to see about getting an update, though. maybe that will fix the problem.
thanks again,

Rob,
I actually have 2 podcasts.

The description I added for the S and S Show has worked. But for some reason, the description for my other site will show up and then disappear.
The last time this happened, the description was gone from my xml file. I added it again, it then showed up again and now its gone again. No idea why this is happening.
Thanks again,

Adding New Image and Text to an Existing Page Created with Tables

Working in DW 5.5
I'm trying to add a new image/link and small amount of text to an existing web page that was created with tables and centered. I am using AP Divs. One for the image and one for the text. Everything functions fine, but I can't get the new items to anchor and re-center with the rest of the page. I am not able to overide the "Absolute Positioning". I've tried different solutions from various tutorials but I can't seem to make them work with tables.
The added items are a Facebook button and text.
Go to: http://www.sugarhollowfarms.net/index.html to see the problem.
Please help. I'm not that experienced.

Make a back-up of the page first before you implement the changes below!
Take the below bit of code from <div id="FBlogo">...... to.......... </div> 
and insert it directly after the opening div tag FWTableContainer and before your opening table tag (see position below):
<div id="FWTableContainer209091602">
<div id="FBlogo"><a href="#"><img src="images/fb.png" alt="fb" width="62" height="62" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.facebook.com/SugarHollowFarms','facebook','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes, menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=1000,height=800')"></a>
<p class="bodytext"><strong>Join us<br>
on Facebook</strong></p></div>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="800">
Then add - position: relative; - to the FWTableContainer css (as shown below):
#FWTableContainer209091602 {
    /* The master div to make sure that our popup menus get aligned correctly. Be careful when playing with this one. */
    position:relative;
    margin:auto;
    width:800px;
    height:600px;
    text-align:left;
    top: 20px;
    background-image: url(images/homepage_new3.jpg);
    border: medium solid #336600;
    position: relative;
Amend the css for FBlogo to as below:
#FBlogo {
    position:absolute;
    left:700px;
    top:380px;
    width:91px;
    z-index:1;
    text-align: center;
Amend the css for bodytext as below:
.bodytext {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height: 13px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

Numbered captions for figures and tables

Can anyone tell me how to create captions for figures and tables such that they are automatically numbers (ex. Figure 1, Figure 2, ...) so that when I remove or add a new figure in the middle of the document I don't have to manually re-number everything. If it still is not possible in Pages ver. 4, I hope that someone can write an applescript that will post process a document to prefix captions preceding tables with Table # and any captions following images with Figure # or "Some custom phrase" followed by #.

Writing that here is perfectly useless.
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.
