Index generation pushing master page first to end of document

Hi.
I've created templates in Frame 10 for a book that include TOC, index, and chapters. When I generate my book, the index generates, but it pushes my master page with the header to the end of the index instead of starting the index on the first master page. Does that make sense? Is there a tweak I can do or a step I left out that will keep the first master page at the front of the index?
Thanks.

FWIW, I've grown accustomed to having to apply a First page manually in various situations; most often when I split a file into two, but also (I think) at least the first time I generate a ToC or LoF page. Completely off the top of my head, do you have any non-generated content (such as a title "Index") at the start of your generated index? considering the behaviour I'm used to from my ToC, this might be enough to "fix" your master page choice.

Master page is shown in the document

Hello There.
I have a document with one empty page (first page). I am not able to delete this page.
I allready fade in the command structure (Hierarchie). By clicking on this empty page the master page is activated.
Is it possible to hide the master page (out of the structure) or is there any other possibility?
Thank you very much!

Silvia - I selected the form (that was on the second page) and click on Palettes - object - select subform tab. changed content dropdown menu from Flowed to Positioned and click on check box (allow page breaks within content).
that actually get rid of blank master page showing up as actual form.

How can you get get two master pages to repeat in a document with one of them having numbering.

How can you get two master pages in Indesign to repeat when one of them has a numbering section and the back side is a common back. For example, Master A has numbering 001-500 and Master B is the common back for all 500 pages.

My guess is you either want to use a numbered list for the numbering, rather than a page number marker, or you want to make two files and print a single page file with the static text 500 times, then flip the stack and print the 500 page file.
What are you trying to do?

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

Help ! - formatting page heading pass end of document

Hi,
Does anybody has similar experience ?
i have a document to create with rep6i
which requires inserting a label box at the top of the last page.
it is not possible to set a particuler header item to print 'ONLY' at the ending page.
Somehow the report seems not allowing dynamic format changes pass beg. of report.
James.

Hi James,
It is sometimes tough to see to it that you anchor it "exactly" to the repeating frame. I tried it myself and could only do it after a few attempts. What happens is, if your repeating frame shares its boundary with another frame/field etc, sometimes it becomes difficult for the Reports Builder to find out which frame / repeating frame is the anchor tied to.
Pl try this once:
Separate your repating frame from all other frames/fields etc, such that its boundary (where you are going to place the anchor) is not touching the boundary of any other frame/field. Do the same for the label box as well. Only then place the anchor between the label box and the repeating frame.
You should now see the correct result. Hope that helps.

Master Page always displaying first

Good morning all,
I have a project I'm working on for the HTML view and I want only one page to be visible, the rest hidden. I have a list of the pages on the side tied to button clicks so as the user clicks the page they want to visit only one is shown. For the first page it works perfectly, but when I click the second button it displays the master page first and then the page I selected right below it. I'm assuming it's some layout property I have to fix with the master page.
Ps my project works just fine in PDF view.
Any help is welcomed, thank you

Hi Max,
I actually fixed the issue by initially hiding all the screens, instead of hiding them via initialize action.

How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

Hi friends,
Thank you for trying to help me out.
Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
I think now my question is more clear...

Custom Master Page issue with Document Set Libraries

Details: Publishing site using SharePoint 2013. The SharePoint is on my company's servers.
Have a custom Master page that has a navigation banner (built with HTML/CSS/javascript). The site has it applied successfully to the "Site Master Page" but when I also apply it to the "System Master Page", the libraries that have
Document Set type content do not show the files within. We'd like to be successful in applying to the "System Master Page" as that allows the banner to show when an actual library is accessed. Any suggestions, please?

Thanks. I've been experimenting with this for a few days now, and there's lots I don't understand about why and such, but your process above works. That's a big load off me right now and I really appreciate it. I'm going to be able to survive the initial
roll-out and implementation of the new site. Going forward, I've got lots to learn and find out, I've already heard that there's a desire to really redesign the master page for the site and subsites, way beyond the little CSS customization I did. Fun.
If you've got a little time though, perhaps you can provide some explanation. If not, no problem.
On step 6, when I do as you detail, click the System Master Page and reset all the subsites, it seems to work fine with my custom master page. If I do that with the Site Master Page settings, my custom page causes the redirect issue in the subsites again.
This is whether I do the Site Master Page by itself, or in conjunction with the System Master Page settings. If I revert back to the Seattle master page in the Site Master Page settings and my custom pate in the System Master Page, the issue goes away again.
It is completely messing with my head, trying to figure out why that would be, and this is all beside trying to figure out why adding the one little CSS reference to the Seattle master to create my master page breaks things (sometimes!).
Just fyi, what I've ended up with for now is pulling my custom master page out of the system and using the Alternate CSS URL to add my custom CSS to the Seattle master page on the sites. As I thought about all this, I decided I didn't want to leave the breakable
custom page out there for some unsuspecting site manager to accidentally pick and get everyone screaming about the broken sites.
Thanks again,
Steven

InDesign cs6 spell check and master pages

I have created a set of master pages for a template in InDesign cs6. When I create a document from this template and apply "spelling", the spell check goes through every master page before moving to the document. How can I stop spell check from going to master pages unless, of course, the master page is highlighted? I have tried locking all master page objects and have also tried selecting the option of not allowing selection of master page locked objects. I have allowed, and disallowed, the override on master page items Nothing seems to work. I would like "spelling" to apply only the pages in the document, or only the selected page in the document.

If you go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling
You get a dialog box - the only options are for All Documents, Current Document, Story, To End of Story, or Selection
These are the options for checking spelling, ignore masters is not an option, unfortunately.
But you can select a range of text and use the Selection option to check the spelling.
Hope that helps.

Sidehead: want on L/R master pages but not other master pages

Hello!
I've been fighting this all evening and can't seem to get it to work. I would like to have room for a sidehead on my L/R pages in my facing page document but I would like my master page "First Page of Chapter" to not have a sidehead: I would like the text on that one page to span the entire width of the text frame.
When I try to set this up, however, the first page of chapter has the sidehead, even though it its text frame doesn't appear to have a sidehead when I view its master page.
What's odd is that the master page sidehead area isn't even the same size as the sidehead that's appearing on the L/R pages, it's much wider.
Can someone tell me the process for not allowing room for a sidehead on the first page of the chapter (with the "First Page of Chapter" master page) but having sideheads on the subsequent pages that belong to the L/R master pages?
Many thanks!

Rocky,
To add a maybe unnecessary level of detail, the side-head area is a flow level property. Separate text flows within a document may have separate settings, but normally you would not want to have separate text flows.
Apart from using special paragraph formats, as Arnis mentioned, you could also make the text frame on your title master page wider and move it to the left side possible a little bit off the page, so the main column is positioned as you wnat/like/need it.

Master pages failing to be applied (along with some unexpected behavior)

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting our structured app/template to apply master pages properly. We're on Frame 11 using an XDocbook, customized app.
Here is the configuration:
1. Reference page structMasterPageMap:
Maps element E:BookInfo to the "Title Page" master page.
Maps element E:PrefaceInfo to the "Frontmatter" master page.
2. Frame XML document content:
<bookinfo>
 <title>
 <edition>
 <copyright>
</bookinfo>
As you can see, this doc does not yet have a PrefaceInfo element, although one is allowed by the DTD. So the obvious solution is to either: 1) add one (wrap the <copyright> element in a <prefaceinfo> element as allowed); or 2) add an "E:Copyright" mapping to the ref page. Yet, neither of these work. Here's what occurs:
Solution A: On the Ref page, add a mapping from E:Copyright to the "Frontmatter" master page:
1. Open the document in Frame and note that the master page Title Page is applied, but the master page Frontmatter is not, as expected.
2. On the ref page, add the E:Copyright mapping to apply the Frontmatter master page.
3. Reapply Master Pages, and the Frontmatter page is applied, as expected. All is good....except. When you close and then re-open the document, no master pages are applied, not even the Title Page which had previous worked. Huh, what?
4. Remove the E:Copyright mapping from the ref page, reapply Master Pages, and the Title Page master page is again applied.
Note: This behavior is reproducible whether I replace the E:PrefaceInfo with E:Copyright on the reference page, or retain both. I can also reproduce this by using the paragraph tag instead, of the element, i.e. P:FrontmatterCopyright.
Solution B: In the document, add a <prefaceinfo> element:
1. Open the document in Frame and note that the Title Page master page is applied while the Frontmatter is not, which is expected.
2. Wrap the <copyright> element in <prefaceinfo>.
3. Reapply Master Pages. Nothing happens, i.e. the Frontmatter master page is not applied.
4. Save, close, and reopen the document. The Title page is applied, but the Frontmatter is not.
Yes, I have checked and rechecked that the actual master page names match those entered into the reference pages, including case. :-)
Possible conflicts/factors?
1. Could the structure of the document (as allowed by the DTD) affect master page application? The element <copyright> can exist both inside a <prefaceinfo> and independently under <bookinfo>. This doesn't seem likely, especially because as a test, I saved the doc as .fm, discarded the structure, updated the ref page to use para tags instead -- and still the master pages are not applied correctly.
2. Pagination can affect this -- at first we had Format>Page Layout>Pagination set to "Single Sided" so I thought that was why the left-hand Frontmatter was being ignored. But I have ruled that out; the template is now double sided, and Frontmatter is a left page.
I am stumped! Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Is Adobe World Ready Paragraph Composer the default in CS6 or something? Perhaps that must have caused some issue. I still don't know. I can confirm that no one else has touched this particular file, and it was created and edited only in CS6.
For new basic styles, you recommend aforementioned composer or the old Adobe Paragraph Composer, especially if the work is only in English (UK/India)?
Thanks for your time.

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!

Master page issue

Has the problem of objects in the master pages falling out of the document after exporting to pdf been addressed in CS6?

Two very recent threads on this:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018754?tstart=60
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1016281?tstart=30
Both threads mention CS6, but I can personally vow this also happens with CS4 -- only last month, an intern ran afoul of it and all I needed was a single glance to spot the issue.
I have a habit of *never* straddling objects across master pages; it could be I learned not to as much as a decade ago. I'm pretty sure every now and then it was mentioned as a harmful bug in this forum.

Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.
