Tying a Master Page to a Paragraph Style

As a relative newbie to InDesign (and indeed book layout) I'm really chuffed that my first attempt looks pretty good now I have the first proof in my hands. Have had a few small tweaks to sort out and one thing that I have found cumbersome is that I have 3 master pages - the A-master for almost all the book with running headers and page numbers, the B-master for the first page in each chapter which has no running header and has some page decoration and the C-master for the special pages in the front matter that don't have page numbers and running headers. As we've gone through and made some adjustments the pages have shifted slightly and of course I've found that the B-masters get out of sync because the content shuffles but the master page allocation doesn't get tied to the page with teh Chapter Heading style on it. Is there an easy (or even not so easy) way to tie these together to avoid having to resync, double and triple check them?

I don't know if there's an existing script for this; others on the forum may know.
However, Autoflow Pro, a commercial InDesign plug-in from in-tools.com can do this. There's a free trial.

  • Keep master page stories from clear style overrides...

    Hi everyone,
    I am finding the stories in the document and applying clear style overrides through javascript. When i am doing this my master page story items are also get affected. Is there any option or way to skip those master page stories?
    Please suggest and help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Thiyagu,
    you are asking for the structure of the DOM (document object model).
    There are several charts of the hierarchical structure of the DOM, e.g. in tree view.
    You may search for them with Google.
    To find out, who's the parent of an object, you can check the name of the constructor of it's parent:
    myObject.parent.constructor.name
    You can also climb up the parents within a loop.
    To catch the constructor of a selected object and it's parents, grandparents ... up to the 'primal father' APPLICATION in a loop you may try this short and simple code:
    var myData = new Array;
    if (app.selection.length > 0)
         var myObject = app.selection[0];
         myData.push(myObject.constructor.name);
         do
              myObject = myObject.parent;
              myData.push(myObject.constructor.name)
         } while (myObject.constructor.name != 'Application')
         alert('Genealogy\r' + myData.join('\r'));
    But there are also parents like parentTextFrame or parentStory.
    This special parents your would not find out with the simple code above.
    To read more about this basic things about the structure of the document object model (and other basics) I want to recommend Peter Kahrel's Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript to you.

  • Auto master page application

    I wrote this script to see if I could hook master pages to a paragraph style and I have a couple of questions.
    1. Currently I'm using the "onIdle" event type is there a better event type that could be used that would still run without interrupting the user?
    I was thinking the "afterAttributeChanged" event type might work better. When is this one called? Is it called for every attribute change in the layout window?
    2. I'm also searching for the pages that I want to change via grep and grabbing the page with paragraphs[i].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;
    Is this the most efficient way to do this?
    Here's what I have so far:
    #targetengine "session"
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var chapterStyleGroup = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("Chapter");
    var chapterTitle = chapterStyleGroup.paragraphStyles.itemByName("ChapterTitle");
    var aMaster = doc.masterSpreads.itemByName("A-Master");
    var cMaster = doc.masterSpreads.itemByName("C-Chapter Open");
    var chapterPages = [];
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = chapterTitle;
    var paras = app.findGrep();
    for (var i=0, l=paras.length; i<l; i++) {
              var parentPage = paras[i].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;
              chapterPages.push(parentPage);
              parentPage.appliedMaster = cMaster;
    var listenerTask = app.idleTasks.add({sleep: 5000});
    listenerTask.addEventListener("onIdle", checkPages);
    function checkPages() {
              var savedPrefs = app.findGrepPreferences.properties;
              app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
              app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = chapterTitle;
              var paras = app.findGrep();
              for (var i=0, l=paras.length; i<l; i++) {
                        var parentPage = paras[i].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;
                        if (chapterPages[i] !== parentPage) {
                                  chapterPages[i].appliedMaster = aMaster;
                                  parentPage.appliedMaster = cMaster;
                                  chapterPages.splice(i,1,parentPage);
              app.findGrepPreferences.properties = savedPrefs;

    Peter, without threading, the individual text boxes on the master page do number correctly. They are empty text boxes except for an invisible character such as a hard return, and once I have the invisible character in place, the numbers appear.
    Because 1-6 already number and appear correctly, it doesn't make sense to me to thread them together, although I did try it including from caption 6 back to caption 1...this resulted in caption 1 disappearing and all the other captions reducing by increments of one (1-5).
    I'm not sure if I'm 'placing' my list incorrectly (that term doesn't quite make sense to me ~ I thought you define a list and then apply it directly or through a paragraph style?) or what, but do you have any other suggestions?

  • How to handle paragraph styles in imported text with no tagged paragraph styles

    Hi
    Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel I have both formats) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
    My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
    Or how is it possible to change paragraph style when forcing a line break when using text reflow?
    I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc.  (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it) The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
    Then I tried to look into "object styles" and format a text frame on a master page with an object style, and by using a "dilimiter character" forcing the text to start in a new frame when bringing the frame into live on a page. But here I cannot make the "text frame/object style" to apply or to work.
    If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you
    This picture are illustrating the outcome I would to get to....

    If the incoming text does not have styles, or has only one style, there is really not much you can do other than assign styles after the import. If there are recognizable patterns in the formatting, a lot of that can be done with Find/Change, and there are a few scripts floating around that can help automate some of that.
    Also, if your styles have a a good "next style" heirarchy built in, you can select large blocks of text (up to the point where applying next style would be incorrect), then right click the style name in the paragraph styles panel and choose apply style and next style (remove overrides). Warning. Removing overrides will remove any locally applied formatting like bold or italics, so local formatting should be converted to character styles first. Applied character styles are not overrides and will be preserved.

  • Master page for first page of chapter?

    I want to make sure I am using the right approach.
    I have a 150 page book with 12 chapters. Most of the pages in the book have page number and running heads with the chapter name at the top of the page. That is working OK. For the 12 pages that start a chapter, I don't want the running head at the top - only the page number appears at the bottom of the page.
    Master pages, right? I started with all pages as "A" pages and then assigned the 12 pages for the beginning of the chapter to be "B" pages. Looks great.
    But then the project manager comes along and asks me to try the book in 12 point instead of 11 point. I edit a few paragraph styles. Everything repaginates, and now I have to find the 12 places where a chapter starts, change it from "A" to "B" master page, then find the old 12 pages that previously started a chapter and change them from "B" back to "A".
    Every time he freaking changes his mind, I am fixing 24 pages (OK - 22 pages, since the first page stays in place). Am I missing something really obvious - is there a way to say "Every time there is a Chapter Title paragraph style, that page should be assigned "B" Master Style?".  I realize I could use an INDB with 12 INDD files inside, but that seems like overkill for a small book.
    Thanks in advance,

    I think there are some scripts floating around here onthe forum that will assigne a master based on the paragraph style, but my personal approach is to break the document into individual stories (not different docs, just different text threads, for each story) for each chapter. If you do that, any editing effects will be confined to the last page in each chapter.

  • Change master page

    I'm using indesign CS3 with javascript.
    I have a document with 11 chapters, every chapter has the same Master-page.
    Every chapter has 1,2, ..pages, the master page for the content in the chapter is not the same as the chapter Master-page.
    Every content from a chapter has a different master page, than the content from an other chapter.
    this means that i have 12 master-pages
    example:
    Chapter 1:           master-page A
         content1:       master-pageB
    Chapter2:           master-page A
         content2:       master-page C
    Every title from the chapter and content will be placed into a running header with a specifiek paragraph style.
    At the moment i have a little javascript, this script checks on every page for the paragraph style from a chapter.
    and the "master-page A" will bee placed on the right page.
    how can i extend my script for  the content master-pages?
    Is it possible that i can retrieve the text from the running header from the chapters?
    greetz,
    kim

    You can update the master page programmatically based on the variables you have
    SPSite site new SPSite("http://Foo");
    SPWeb web=site.OpenWeb();
    rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = rootWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/_catalogs/masterpage/blueband.master";
    rootWeb.update();

  • Custom Master Page Issue in Intranet

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can assist with this, we implemented this particular SharePoint 2007 portal approximately 5 years ago.  An outside consultant created this custom master page, for some reason out of nowhere we are experiencing this bizarre issue with
    the master page and checking in and out documents. I have attached an image showing the error message being displayed below(couldn't attach until my account was verified but it states 'Error invalid viewstate, port 52208, user agent Mozilla/4.0..., viewstate,
    referrer, path).  I came across one source on the web that stated something about the search box code and it causing issues out of nowhere on the master page.  So in my dev environment I made the change and removed the following code from the master
    page below.
    <td style="padding-top:8px;" valign=top>
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server">
                <SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="SmallSearchInputBox"/>
                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </td>
    As soon as this code is removed and the page is published again everything begins to work again, the problem is I can't remove search from this intranet portal as it is heavily used.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    By any chance, do you still have access to the solution package in which the master page was contained? Normally, you would see another .ascx user control overriding the delegate search control in there. I'm almost positive that this custom control is
    what causing this issue.

  • Adding Custom Breadcrumb for SharePoint 2013 Custom Master-Page With A Custom Separator.

    Hi All,
    I have successfully converted an HTML file to a SharePoint 2013 Custom Master-Page with relevant style sheets. But when I used within the SharePoint site I could not find the breadcrumb. So I want to know how to do that? For that breadcrumb I need a custom
    separator like an arrow like in the below.
    As you can see the separator is a custom built one. To have this custom separator in my HTML I have used the following code snippet.
    <div class="breadcrumb-desktop">
    <span class="breadcrumb-links"><a href="#">SharePoint Site Home</a></span>
    <span class="breadcrumb-links"><a href="#">Sub Link 01</a></span> Active Page
    </div>
    The styles are as like in the below.
    .breadcrumb-desktop {
    width: 100%;
    font-family: Arial;
    padding: 23px 0 40px;
    float: left;
    font-size: 0.75em;
    line-height: 1.25;
    .breadcrumb-desktop > span.breadcrumb-links:after {
    content: " \203A ";
    white-space: pre;
    I have tried the following code snippet within the SharePoint site as
    <!--MS:<asp:sitemappath runat="server" sitemapproviders="SPSiteMapProvider,SPXmlContentMapProvider" rendercurrentnodeaslink="false" hideinteriorrootnodes="true">-->
    <!--ME:</asp:sitemappath>-->
    But it did not display as I wanted.
    So how am I supposed to insert these to my Custom Master-Page's breadcrumb and style them? Please could someone help me to solve this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Chiranthaka

    Hi Chiranthaka,
    Please use the following code snippet in your html master page.
    <div class="CustomBreadcrumbs">
    You are here:
    <!--SPM:<SharePoint:AjaxDelta id="DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea" runat="server">-->
    <!--SPM:<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" runat="server">-->

  • Link master page to paragraph style?

    I'd like to have the first page of each chapter have a different master page (particularly no header with page numbers, etc.). I know how to apply a different page style, but I want the style to stay with the first page of each chapter -- even if more text is added and the document gets longer.
    Any way to do this?

    Peter, I'm not sure what functionality we used in the past -- it's been years now since we stopped using Frame when it was discontinued -- but I didn't have these problems before. Perhaps that's just because the book feature of Frame (chapters in their own files, very easily compiled into a book) was so easy and did just what we needed it to do. Could not get IDs book feature to work well when I tried it. Haven't been back.
    I'll also try out the idea you have. Thanks for the input.
    There's a faction of ex-FrameMaker-on-Mac users who are gathering signers for their petition to revive FrameMaker on Mac. Search Google for terms like "framemaker mac petition" without quotes.
    FrameMaker 7.1, I believe, is the last Mac version. It ran on System 9, or a few earlier releases, and on Classic, the System 9 emulator on Tiger. Yours is the most valid reason I've seen for leaving FrameMaker - it's not on the OS you're committed to. I use Parallels on my Mac to run FrameMaker and other applications in Adobe's Technical Communications Suite which is Windows-only.
    Aa Peter S. said, InDesign's book feature is a workable tool. Some folks report problems with cross-file cross-references in InDesign books. I'm not familiar whether they are more common on Windows ID or Mac, and not sure which update-level of CS4 or CS5 they affect. If you're having problems with x-refs, search Google for "InDesign cross-references across files," and similar terms without quotes, and if your issues aren't addressed in the links you find, post them here. One cross-file problem with x-refs in books that I can recall occurs in PDFs exported from InDesign; if the PDF export dialog box uses the Interactive output option, instead of the Print output option, the links in the single PDF that's created fail because the output processing goofs up the links it creates in the PDF. I've reported it as a bug. There were instances in later FrameMaker releases that had a similar problem with the Save As PDF process; fixed later, though.
    One ID x-ref issue I've seen on the forum is that lots of them slow down InDesign. I believe the commercial InDesign cross-references plug-in from dtptools.com doesn't have the problem; it's also got smarter x-ref format options than either FrameMaker or InDesign.
    I believe that InDesign's indexing isn't easy for FrameMaker users to grasp. It took me a while, partly because I don't do it much, and partly because it's a different mindset. Some earlier releases had bugs that soured folks on the index, but they're fixed. Search Google for terms like "InDesign index scripts" or "InDesign online free index tutorials" and similar terms without quotes for more info.
    The span/split columns feature in InDesign CS5 that Peter S. mentions is like FrameMaker's straddle (across columns) paragraphs, with a bit of Word's multi-column paragraph attribute thrown in. It's still got a few annoying behaviors, but not disruptive bugs. However, InDesign totally lacks FrameMaker's true side-headings and true run-in paragraphs (a paragraph that can be followed by a paragraph that begins on the same line; IOW, a paragraph with a hard Return but no new line feed.) There are some workarounds.

  • What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

    I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
    What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
    Thank you!

    I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
    Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
    There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
    Take care, Mike

  • Can automatic master application be scripted by paragraph style?

    Help! I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a few days now. I could have sworn I've seen this done somewhere, but I can't find any references now. Someone suggested that it might be scriptable, so...
    I'd like to conditionally select a specific master page template based on a paragraph style.
    For example, the first paragraph style on every chapter in my book is "Title (Chapter)." When that paragraph style shows up, I'd like InDesign to automatically apply the appropriate master page template to that page, but default back to the standard master for all following pages.
    Anyhow know how to do this?

    Hi
    There is a solution from freelance book design but is not gree. A more basic script can be found by google searching for ApplyMasterpageToStyleCS5.

  • Master Pages to Control Body Text Styles?

    I think I must not understand Master Pages.
    I want to create a set of text frames on every page in my book. I'd like the frames to be the same on every page, with the same font, size, justification, etc. for each frame (and I'm not threading the text frames from page to page).
    If I try to use Master Pages to set all this up, and then override the master page by pasting different text on each page, I lose the ability to change fonts, font sizes, etc. on all pages at once. Since I've overridden the Master for that text frame, changing the Master no longer affects that text.
    Should I be using a different way to set the font, font size, justification, etc. in the frames on all pages at once? (I'd also like to resize or move those text frames on all pages at once, too, but just pasting text into an overridden Master frame seems to leave me the ability to alter the frame itself.)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, of course. Thanks. When I refered to the text frames, I meant the size and shape and placement of the frames.
    So I can manipulate all the font and text attributes through Paragraph Styles, and I can manipulate all the text frames by changing the Master Page.
    Perfect. (I have the latest ID on a Mac running Mountain Lion.)

  • In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

    In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph. 
    I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature.  I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph.  Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
    There are several issues here:
    1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
    2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
    3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
    So in answer to your question, no.
    You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

  • (new to scripting) Only allow certain paragraph styles to break to next column/page

    Hi all,
    As stated, I'm very new to scripting. I've done a few small scripts to automate Photoshop tasks and such. I'm in the process of trying to learn Javascript as much as possible, with the hope of bringing about more efficiency for our small production department. It's a daunting task, but I'm trying my darnedest.
    One of the number one goals I have is the find a way to automate pagination of weekly transaction records. These records run between 32 to 48 pages normally, with each page having 5 columns. Creation of these pages is very systematic, so it would seem that this process should be able to be automated, but there are some challenges I'm having a hard time thinking about how to attack.
    One of the key tasks needing to be figured out is getting the records to go in with headings and subheadings always starting at the top of a page/column. Just about all the copy comes in with predetermined paragraph styles, so a script should easily be able to search for instances of each style. What needs to eb accomplished is only allowing the flow of copy to break on certain styles and not others ... (counties, towns, etc.)
    For example: if you have the following  ...
    Countyland <styled "county">
    Utopiatown <styled "town">
    46 Appletree Lane ...... $500,000  <styled "listing">
    Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
    Bought by: Other Guy  <styled "listing">
    Mortgage: This Bank  <styled "listing">
    Date: 12/14/11  <styled "listing">
    Dystopia Village <styled "town">
    47 Orangeplant Road ...... $400,000  <styled "listing">
    Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
    Bought by: Other Guy  <styled "listing">
    Mortgage: This Bank  <styled "listing">
    Date: 12/14/11  <styled "listing">
    If the two records above were to fall near the end of a column, the break to the next column should NOT occur anywhere except:
    - Before the county (causing the county to start at the top of the next column
    - Before the second town (Dystopia Village, forcing that town to the top of the next column)
    - After both (forcing whatever town/county is next to goto the top of the next column)
    So basically, I need to find a way PREVENT column breaks where they should not occur. Inserting column breaks is one thing (I know how to do that). Prevention is the issue though that confounds me.
    Does anyone have any thoughts of how to achieve such a thing? I know there are "non-breaking space" characters ... is there, or could there be, some kind of a "non-breaking return" character? Or would it be more feasible to test for the paragraph style at the bottoms of columns and insert column breaks in once it finds an appropriate match?
    Am I going about this all wrong?
    Again, any help or suggestions are more than welcome.
    Thanks much.

    FYI .. using InDesign cs5.5

    I am now wondering about a possible solution. It would be one hell of a challenge for me to figure out how to code it, but I at least need to figure out the theory first, then I'll try to figure out how to code it.
    Again, the issue at hand is preventing column breaks for the "listing" style in the following example. Please note, the number of "listing" lines varies. If the following two entries (in a long list of similar entries) were to be near the end of a column, I'm trying to cause the flow of text to break only before a county style, or a town style (if it's not the first town in the county).  Basically, no breaks in the middle of listings.
    Countyland <styled "county">
    Utopiatown <styled "town">

    Naomi previously suggested messing with the "keep options" in the styles. This will solve the issue of preventing breaks before listing details start. But it won't help in keeping listing details from breaking, since the number of lines can vary.
    I'm now thinking ... might it be possible to have a script search all copy, looking for the last line of listings, and then apply a second listing style with a different keep option setting? The "normal listing" style would "keep next 1 line". The "last listing" style would not, therefore, allowing a break.
    Here's a map of what I'm thinking: (bear with me on the terrible syntax, this is just for illustrative purposes)
    listingNormal has keep with next 1 line applied
    listingBreak does not keep with next line
    if currentLineStyle == listingNormal
    AND
    style of next line != listingNormal {
    currentLineStyle = listingBreak
    Does this make sense? If so, does this sound feasible?
    Thanks any and all.

  • Master Page Gallery contents renders in old Sharepoint 2007 style after upgrade

    I have a site collection that is still rendering the Master Page Gallery items in the Sharepoint 2007 style instead of the Sharepoint 2013 style, and I can't pinpoint where this is coming from.  I'm sure it's from a resource that was customized some
    time before our Sharepoint 2010 upgrade, preventing the view from upgrading properly at this point.  I'm looking for advice on where to look to get to the root of this issue.
    Possibly other libraries are affected, but it is most apparent in the Master Page Gallery.
    Here's what the items should look like in Sharepoint 2013.  In html, the item name column dropdown menus are populated with div elements, and it has a blue background dropdown arrow when hovering over it.
    Here's what this site collection renders.  In html, the item name column dropdown menus are populated using table elements, and it has a solid border with a different dropdown arrow when hovering over it.
    Functionality wise, this is preventing master pages and page layouts from being checked in and checked out and approved from this view.  I'm only able to do these changes using the sitemanager page for this site collection right now.
    Other information:
    - There are other site collections and web applications in this same farm that are not affected, so I don't believe it is a modification made in the hive files
    - I've tried making new views of the master page gallery with no success
    - I've compared the contents of the AllItems.aspx form in this collection with the AllItems.aspx in a working collection and could not find any difference.
    - I suspected that the ListViewWebPart is not current, but I can't find where I can check on this and possibly reset it to site definition.  I reviewed all webparts in the _catalogs\wp gallery but can't find a webpart in there that is named ListViewWebPart.
    So, the million dollar question is where else should I be checking to get to the bottom of this?  Thanks!

    Hi Brad ,
    For your issue, you can view the Upgrade Status page in Site Settings to verify that upgrade has succeeded for a site collection.
    To view upgrade status in Site Settings 
    1.Verify that the user account that performs this procedure is a site collection administrator.
    2.On the Site Settings page for the site collection, in the Site Collection Administration section, click Site collection upgrade.
    3.On the Site Collection Upgrade page, click Review Site Collection Upgrade Status.
    4.The Upgrade Status page for the site collection is displayed.
    For more information, see
    Manage site collection upgrades to SharePoint 2013
    Also you can  go to _layouts/15/reghost.aspx (Site Settings -> Site Actions -> Reset to site definition) and reset the master page gallery to site definition version.
    Best Regards,
    Eric
