Justify page break. HELP!

I am designing a directory in InDesign, I have it justified top to bottom. Is there a way to do a soft return or other option to bring a listing to the top of the next column and then increase the leading in the previous column so the text stays lined to the top and bottom? I used to be able to do this in Quark--but can not figure it out in InDesign. HELP!

also you can specify this behavior in paragraph style options...

Page Break Help

Hi,
I am trying to display 2 vendors on a page and then have a page break. I'm not having much luck with this. I can page break after each, but that won't work for me. Here is a sample of what I have.
- <TEST>
- <LIST_G_MAIN_SELECT>
- <G_MAIN_SELECT>
<VENDOR_NAME>Ms. A</VENDOR_NAME>
</G_MAIN_SELECT>
- <G_MAIN_SELECT>
<VENDOR_NAME>Mr. B</VENDOR_NAME>
</G_MAIN_SELECT>
- <G_MAIN_SELECT>
<VENDOR_NAME>Ms. C</VENDOR_NAME>
</G_MAIN_SELECT>
</LIST_G_MAIN_SELECT>
</TEST>
I'm not very familiar with setting up variables and using count, so any help would be great!

Hi,
I will explain what Vetsrini's code is doing here:
<?for-each:TEST/LIST_G_MAIN_SELECT/G_MAIN_SELECT?>
This is creating a loop that will repeat for every occurence of G_MAIN_SELECT in the XML document.
<?position()?>
This will display the position of the G_MAIN_SELECT in the XML document. For example the first occurence will display 1 the second occurence will display 2 and so on..
VENDOR_NAME: <?VENDOR_NAME?>
Shows some boiler plate text and the value of the Vendor Name element within the current occurence of G_MAIN_SELECT
<?if:position() mod 2=0?> <?split-by-page-break:?> <?end if?>
This is testing whether or not the modulus 2 of the position() value is equal to 0 or not. If it is then the page break is insert, if not the page break will not be inserted. This is effectively doing an odd or even test on the value for position().
<?end for-each?>
Closes the for-each loop
I hope this helps you to understand the above code slightly better.
Regards,
Cj

When exporting to epub, only about 1/3 of my chapters are getting the page breaks. Each chapter is in its own doc, and I've tried splitting it apart by doc. and by H1, with no luck. HELP

All my paragraph styles seem to jive, and no matter what I do, most of my chapters seem to miss their page breaks. I've heard of others having this issue with older versions of Indesign, but I'm on CC2014, and I thought that should be fixed by now. I really don't want to have to learn HTML code and go break open the epub doc to fix it manually, because that doesn't always work across all devices either. I know others have to of run into this problem before. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure the paragraph style applied to the chapter title (if that's the first line of each chapter) is tagged. Open the paragraph style and go to Export Tagging and check Split Document (epub only). Then when you export (assuming you are using reflowable) under General>Split Document check Based on Paragraph Style Export Tags. Try it and let us know if this helps.

Help with Page Breaks!

Hello,
I am having great difficulty with page breaks.
I have included a link below to a jpg of a format template I am working on (edited for public release, but it works):
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/pagebreaksample.jpg
The layout template has many text form fields but I have re-colored them all to grey so that the pagebreak stands out in pink (and default text is the same as the help text for clarity).
The data format that I am using for this layout template can be found at:
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/testdata.xml
This data is for sample use only and would (normally) contain many G_ORDERS for multiple G_ORD_TYPES in multiple G_REGIONS.
My problem is that it does not matter where I place the page break, it simply does not work correctly.
As you can see from the current placement I WISH the report to break between each and every occurrences of REGION in the group “REGION”. At this placement it does not break at all.
I ‘can’ get the report to break (incorrectly, but at least it breaks) if I place this exact same syntax into the innermost grouping of data (i.e. the G_ORDER group) but even then the breaking is NOT CONSISTENT at all. In this case I would ‘expect’ it to break before every order…it does not.
I have also tried the syntax: “ <xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="1=1"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute></xsl:if> “ (without the quotes which got from he forum here) as well as the MSWORD pagebreak (which has never worked for me). None of these work correctly.
Any assistance in or insight into getting my reports to CONSISTENTLY break at the appropriate times would be most appreciated as I have been trying to get this to work for several days now...
Thank you,
Scott

Hello again!
I have the pagebreak problem working, but I would dearly like some insight as to why/how it is working…
I have template builder 10.1.3.2.1 for reference and I now have the report breaking at the correct times, i.e. after each region.
My confusion is that to get it to work I must use the syntax and placement of the pagebreak text field exactly as shown below. No other placement cause the pages to break correctly and the other syntax sample varations I have found on this forum, etc (listed above) do not work at all.
Please review the link to the (now working format template) jpg and provide feedback/insight.

a. How do i get rid of the extra blank page
    OR
How do i acheive the page break whenever state changes.
Please help me asap as i have wasted lot of time int his.
Many Thanks

I believe the new Conditional Break feature in Designer 7.1 can help you solve this problem. It'll let you specify an expression which compares the previous value of the section_name field with the value of the current instance of section_name and, if they're different, insert a page break to the top of the next page.
Assuming the basic structure inferred by the Data View palette when you drag & drop the options node onto the form, make the page subform Flowed (using the Content property Object palette's Subform tab), make the options subform repeatable (using the Object palette's Binding tab) and then go to the Object palette's Pagination tab on the options subform. There, you'll see a middle section labeled
Conditional Breaks with an Edit button that'll be enabled. Click on that to set an expression like this (in FormCalc):
options[-1].section_name ne options.section_name
where the Break property is set to
Before and the To property is set to
Top of Next Page.
The result will be a form which lists each section on its own page without have a superfluous blank page.
I've attached a sample form based on your sample data which breaks whenever the state changes.

Help with pagination and conditional page breaks

I have a rather complex form where pages are added based on what the user has entered in a table with repeatable rows. For most of the pages, conditional page breaks are working fairly well, but I have a group of pages with nested subforms that need page breaks. The inner subform is breaking as expected, but the parent page break isn't triggering for some reason.
Is this a bug within Livecycle or is it possible to fix?
Thanks!

May be having a look at the form helps..
If you can send the form and XML data file to [email protected] I can have a look at it..

Need help understandin section breaks or page breaks

Hi there, was hoping I can gain a better undersrtanding of how to use section breaks and page breaks.
I have typed several reports while using apple pages. I click on the VIEW button on upper left corner and all the pages appear to run continously. I do not want that to continue to happen. How can I make each and every page its own page. I have done it once years ago and have observed a this fine line below each page under the view option so that I may move or rearragne pages. Can someone please help?
dee

Pages 5.1 only lets you delete Sections, you can't drag them into place.
You can Menu > Insert > Section Break on the bottom of every page or
Setup > Document > uncheck Document Body which will delete all yout content in teh Document Body
or Better still use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Please Help ... Problems with Page Breaks

I am rather new to Adobe LifeCyle and am having problems with sections not contining to the next page.
I have tried to read information on allowing page breaks and overflow, but I am very confused.
On my warnings tab I have warnings about page breaks, but do not understand what they are saying or how they should be fixed.
"Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting the Allow Page Breaks Within Content option of the parent object from breaking between pages."
Since I can't attach files .. I am not sure how to demonstrate the problem. If there is work around to sending files, please advise and if someone could help, I could email the file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated .... I feel like I am going in circles.
Thanks so much!

Ah ....send them to [email protected] and I will have a look when I get a chance.

Frustration with Pages to ePub page breaks

Hi. I am losing my mind and hoping someone can help...
I am creating a non-traditional book (a catalog) in Pages, for use in both PDF and ePub formats (for iBooks on iPad). I CANNOT get the page breaks in Pages retained when exported to ePub and viewing on the iPad. I used the "ePub best practices" document as my starting template, then changed it by modifying the layout (margins, etc.), and modifying the styles to the font, color and style I want for look of the PDF version. At one point I had 80% or so of the page breaks in ePub, then after making some edits in the document and exporting again, many of the page breaks disappeared. I've also had headlines and such literally disappear in the ePub version.
The best thing would be to have a method of manually entering a page break in Pages that I KNOW would represent a page break in ePub. Is this possible?
Please help!

After an insane amount of testing, here are the unwritten rules that I have uncovered (so far) regarding how Pages exports to ePub.
- The items checked to be used in your TOC (whether you actually have one in your document or not) are what dictate the page/section breaks. This is hugely important because it effects EVERYTHING else, including formatting.
- Using the option to "Use first page as book cover image" will do so, but will effectively suck it out of the actual book when it displays so that your book will "open" to whatever page is next. This sort of stinks if you would like your book to open to the actual Title Page. One solution to this is to turn this option OFF when exporting, and BE SURE to set the title of your book to one of the Paragraph Styles that you included in your TOC list (see above). This will put your title in the auto-generated TOC *created by your reader* (we'll call this the "Reader TOC"), but it will allow your first page to remain your Title Page and should prevent problems with your formatting.
- It would seem that ANY time you start a new section in an ePub (Title, Preface, Chapter, etc… and not to be confused with a Section Break in the Pages document itself) it MUST start with a TOC marked style. If you don't you will start to find your formatting will change semi-randomly (I noticed it in left justified headlines becoming centered). You CAN manually modify the format of the text once you have set the correct style (if you want to change the justification or something).
- Use of the Insert Page/Section Break menu options will have little or no effect in the ePub itself. You can keep them in your Pages document if you like, but *it is the TOC marked styles that completely dictate the section/page breaks in the ePub export.*
- The auto-generated Table of Contents that Pages can create will be dropped in your ePub. The Reader TOC (the actual one used by the readers) will be recreated by the TOC marked sections as mentioned above. So, you might as well leave it out of a Pages document if you are only exporting to ePub. However, most Reader TOC's are not actually present in the text of the book, which is a little weird. To include a TOC in the book itself, you will need to manually create one (without page numbers since ePub's are reflowable), and then manually link it to "bookmarks" within your book. Be sure to use a TOC marked style for the header ("Table of Contents") so it starts on it's own page. Then go through your book, bookmarking sections that you want as TOC entries. The Link Inspector in the inspector pane is where you will find the bookmarking options. If, like me, you want to add, say, chapter titles as entries in your TOC, then find that title in your text, select it, then hit the "+" to add it as a bookmark. Once you have bookmarked all your sections, then go back to the text in your TOC, select an entry, and hyperlink it to one of your bookmarks. Repeat. The manual TOC will be visible in your book, and clickable to your chapters/sections.
- Some formatting works, some doesn't. You might have to experiment here. I would stay away from anything too "non-standard", such as rules and borders. Margin padding seems to be okay, as does BOLD and ITALIC. Text size will also apply, but some readers reset this, so don't count on it.
- If you can set a font beyond sans-serif or serif, I haven't found a way to do it. Readers are probably going to reset this anyway. Think "web-fonts" available in standard HTML at best.
- You CAN include graphics, but they MUST be "inline" and NOT "floating". This is nice if you want to include some simple graphic ligatures to mark the end of a chapter or something.
Hope it helps… Good luck!

Forced page break: space

When I insert a forced page break, the text moves to the next page but there's roughly a 1-M space before it -- in the middle of a sentence.
If I force the text back to occupy the unwanted space, the space simply moves to the end of the text on the preceding page.
I am guessing there's a setting that's instructing the text to observe X amt. of white space after a forced page break? If yes, where would that live?
Nothing in Help, nothing searching forums...
thx in advance

Yes, I do, and I now understand that's the cause of the unwanted indent. I guess what puzzles me is that once I've adjusted the text at the top of the new page, the text at the bottom of the old page has a chunk taken out at far right. I.e., I guess the insertion of a page break disables the style's instruction to fully justify.
I can go back and fix it, but I'm not sure why I should have to.
Sigh.

I wish I had an answer for that. I'll try to get some research done over the weekend, but no promises. I have a long service call today, and I have to clean out my basement.

In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'. something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under. This is the Canadian or US keyboard.
btw thanks for your suggestion.

Pages '08 does not import MS Word Page-breaks

Pages '08 imports MS Word 2004 for Mac documents without the page-breaks.
I love the Mac interface and really want to stop using MS software. I was hopeful with all the good press about Pages '08. I downloaded the 30-day trial and immediately discovered this glitch.
I must be able to exchange 300+ page manuscripts with MS Office users. If Pages cannot import the page-breaks in these documents, it's a deal-breaker for me. I'm not going to go through and re-insert 300+ page-breaks everytime I have to edit and return a document.

I've had the same problem as Jeffrey ... but with Appleworks 6 documents. I can import a small amount of Appleworks pages with hard page breaks (Insert Page Break) but when I try to import the entire 300 pages of my manuscript into Pages '08 the page breaks move up and are not where they should be. Also, many of my large Appleworks text manuscript files (no graphics) will not open in Pages '08. On top of that, the line spacing in Pages is a big headache,. I still am unable to place 11 lines on the first page of each Chapter (as I have done before in Appleworks with no problem). Sometimes it will give me 11, next time it will be 12. Hitting return once often moves two lines of type rather than one. Very frustrating. I have followed instructions and even added styles with my own template. I also used "Exact" spacing of 24 pt with my 12pt type because using double spacing is not even close to what double spacing is in Appleworks using the exact same font (Times New Roman, 12pt w/ 24pt spacing.) Any help will be appreciated (before I go back to Appleworks).
