Placement of datamerge boxes and moving master page items

You helped me with my data merge problem earlier. Now I have successfully brought my excel info into Indesign with datamerge but I can't seem to get the multiple boxes to sit on my page, they are grouped together to the left and down from my page.
Also I've used master pages to create a header and footer for each page and the left hand page behaves as it should, but the objects on the rh master page appear lower and to the right of where they should be. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean. It's a bit hard to see the rh page header, but it should be similar to the lh page. I'm using CS6.

After a bunch of trials and errors I think I've done the multiple records correctly. Just had an A4 page with nothing on it except the one text box and with no master pages - I changed to facing pages and did the master pages after I'd done the data merge.
It seems odd to me that the header and footer on the lh page is correct but not on the rh page when they've been made the same way.
I've just gone through my whole document and moved all the text boxes to where they should be and if I don't come up with some remedy that's what I'll do with the rh page but I'd really like to solve this mystery as I'm so pleased with the whole data merge system that I'd like it to work 100% properly.
The overset text is not a problem as I'm going to link my text boxes to deal with text of different lengths and some fields to be deleted. I've done the data merge several times while I worked out the right size for the text box to fit my desired page format.

Zero bleed at inside page on even and odd master pages

Hello guys! Going directly to my question would be how to apply bleed option specifically on inside pages when working with individual master pages for master and facing pages on the main document. The thing is when I've set no bleed on inside on my Document Setup it has applied on my even and odd master pages (remembering I have individual master pages set on my document). I am not sure if I was clear enough but I keep it open for eventual comments and so on. Thank you.

Ok Peter. Thank you! I am posting some screen shots to help understanding.

Text wrap on Master Page items

RE: InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
Hello,
I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them. However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics. (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.) I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it. But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.

Include Master Page Items in Table of Contents

I am building a table of contents in InDesign CS3. I've got paragraph style applied to my section heading and well as section subheadings. However, my sections headings are located on Master Pages (as they are repeating on several pages), and my section subheadings are located directly on the pages themselves (as they do not repeat).
When I set up my table of contents only my section subheadings show up, not both. When I go to a page with a section heading and override the master page item and then update my table of contents my section header shows up. Is there any way to include my secion headers without overriding the master page items?

I found this article about using Power Headers to override master frames that addresses the table of contents issue: http://in-tools.com/article/power-headers/power-headers-overrides-master-frames/
Hope this helps!

Composed Look and System Master Page

Hi,
I have been able to create my composed looks, but it keeps resetting our System Master Page setting to match that of the composed look master page setting.
My Question - Is there a way like an event reciever or something so I can extend the Composed Look list to set different System Master pages? Seems pretty cool to let users choose there own look, but we do not want to change the backend look and feel as
a few scenarios remove useful key elements when in the backend from in the display if its a team site compared to a published site.
I cannot use a web feature, or make it part of the site feature because there are multiple composed looks and i need it to apply the system master page when the user chooses "apply this look" or what ever that label is they click.
Thanks

I haven't test this but when you hit apply on a composed look the Composed Look list is supposed to be updated.
I've read that SharePoint updates the 'Current Item' in this list to reflect your newly changed settings.
You could try an event receiver on that list for Item Updated on the SPListTemplateType.DesignCatalog template type ID = 124, which is the Compose Look List.
Found the reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj927175(v=office.15).aspx#section3
When a user applies a theme in the Change
the look wizard, the wizard also updates a theme named Current in the Composed Looks
list and the design gallery. When you apply a theme programmatically, you have to update the Current theme manually. The following example shows how to update the Current theme.

Combining Indesign files, and maintaining Master Pages

Hi
I have some Indesign files which I need to combine.
But I'd like for them to keep their individual Master Pages,
because of how they are page numbered.
I suppose there is a way of working with Sections for this,
but the page numbers appear on either the left side or the right side
depending on whether they are even or odd...
So is there a way of doing this?
I'm stuck...
Only other way I can think of is doing separate PDF files and
combining those... But there's gotta be a way in Indesign... Hasn't there?
Thanks a lot
Nikki

You are correct, printing double sided indeed.
And yes, the reader will see it as spreads.
To be honest, we are both relatively new,
and are just following what people in our
positions in the past have done.
They used to do their catalogs
all in Photoshop, and then combine into a PDF.
So even simply using InDesign to layout the pages
was a bit of a stretch in terms of opening
up eyes!
The way we're doing it should still work out fine though
I guess it just wasn't the most efficient.
Is this what you mean?
Nikki

How do I insert additional pages inside a footnoted document with accompanying text boxes and still keep pages below syncronized?

Is there a way to insert additional pages into a lengthy document containing continuous footnotes at the bottom of each page and accompanying text boxes on most pages without losing the syncronization of text and text box information on the pages below?

Footnotes do not work for text in textboxes, and you can keep on adding text after existing text so I am not sure what you are asking for.

Indesign question: Master page items I remove won't stay gone

I'm working on laying out a book, with various chapters which are separate files. Naturally there's a master page with various guides I use a lot, as well as a fairly standard running header with page numbers and chapter and section names. As is standard practise, I want these to appear on nearly every page, but not on the first pages of chapters. (There are other times I might want to override this, but that's the main one.) So, I Ctrl-Shift-click and delete them when I set up a new chapter.
Problem is, they don't stay gone. Every so often, I open up a previous chapter and find that these elements are back on the first page of that chapter, and I delete them again. I've only been noticing this since I made the chapters in question into a book file so I could keep an eye on my page count and synch up styles more easily.
My best guess is that maybe it has something to do with the aforementioned synching. I do want those chapters to share the same master page(s) but do not want IDto keep reapplying elements from them to individual pages that I've already manually removed them from (sometimes more than once). How can I prevent this from happening? (Or alternatively, if this isn't the cause of the problem, what else could it be and how do I deal with that?)

Fair enough. Guess that's just as easy, if not slightly easier, than what I've been doing, and so far it seems to be working.

Some hyperlinks are not working e.g. #page-item and a name="#page-item" how can I resolve that

It's a toplink to a page item on the same page internal (hyperlink) that is not working.
E.g. toplink e.g. #ssc01 to the internal pagelink
<a name="#ssc01"><b>Algemene Informatie</b></a>

Don't add the hash (#) to the name attribute. The hash is used in the URL as separator and should not be in the name.
<pre><nowiki><a name="ssc01">Algemene Informatie</a> </nowiki></pre>

CASE vs DECODE - CASE with SUM and All in Page Item is non aggregable

Hi,
I'm using Discoverer 9.0.4.
After switching calculations from DECODE to CASE
I found out that case gives a non aggregable result when using a Page Item and selecting <All>.
The calculations
(SUM x) / (SUM y)
or
(x SUM) / (y SUM)
where x and y are variables, work fine with page item <All>.
But for example:
CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN 1 ELSE (SUM x) / (SUM y) END
gives non-aggregable.
The same code works with DECODE:
DECODE(1,2,1,(SUM x) / (SUM y))
and is aggregable.
Does anyone know a reason or a way to make it work with CASE?
Thanks,
Joao Noronha
P.S.: I wanted <= comparisons and CASE is the best in simplicity,
but now I know I can do it with DECODE, still looking ok using LEAST instead of ABS of the difference.

Hi there
I think therefore you have answered your own question and determined that using CASE in aggregations is not a good idea. I only threw out the two CASE options as ideas not as solutions, just in case (pardon the pun) one of these worked in your situation.
Your comment I must say that if it worked it would give a wrong result (the sum of the divisions is not the same as the division of the sums) may give the wrong answer in your case but may be correct in others. It just depends how the items in the folder have been set up. I agree though that SUM(x) / SUM(y) will more often than not give the right answer.
This discussion about DECODE vs CASE has been going on ever since Oracle introduced CASE as a means of placating a younger breed of user who needed an IF..THEN...ELSE construct and could not get their minds around the intricacies of DECODE. The DECODE is a much more reliable function than CASE because it has been around for a long time allowing Oracle plenty of opportunity to iron the bugs out of it. If I get a chance I will always use a DECODE whenever aggregations are required. However, when no aggregations are in use then I'll use CASE, simply because it's easier for users to work with.
Unfortunately, users need to work with aggregations and so I don't see any alternative to Plus users having to learn DECODE. Whenever I teach Plus I always teach the users both CASE and DECODE but point out that DECODE has fewer issues that CASE. Oh, and talking of issues, try getting the THEN and ELSE components to return a different datatype. CASE has a fit and will not compile.
Best wishes and glad you got your issue solved - you did right?
Regards
Michael
