Using Page Breaks and Template Shifting

I'm working on a book.  The book is in a word formate.  I'm taking the text and porting it into InDesign with page after page being connected. There are 73 pages in total of pure copy once ported in.  Now I'm going in and laying the media into the text.  I have two basic master template designs that I use based on the content being talked about in the text.  Example is Master Template A has a white background, and Master Template B which has a black background. 
Since the book is alternating between templates depending on the content on the page the pages might look like this:
Page 1: Template A
Page 2: Template A
Page 3: Template B
Page 4: Template A
and so on.  I have a question about page breaking.  I'd like to always keep the content on page 3 on a master template B background. 
However, if I add more content to A, or if I use a page break, the content on all subsequent pages gets pushed down (all pages are connected).  So if I page break on Page 1, my content from page B gets pushed onto a template A background.  This is obviously not what I wanted.  Should there be another function besides page break that I should be using to put separaters?  How can I make sure that my content on page 3 stays on a template B background?

Right now your text is threaded in one continuous story. When you add new text inthe middle, anything following that point is going to move. To prevent that you need to break the text into separate stories for eac type of content.
This is basically the same thing as dividing the chapters of a book so that each one starts onthe correct master page, which is didcussed at some length here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3993405#3993405

  • RH8 for Word - Strange page breaks and non-scoll headers

    RH8 and Word 2007 generating WinHelp 2000.
    Normal page breaks are full page width.
    When I insert one in manually, it shows as only 2 inches wide.
    A tiopic with this short break does not show as a non-scroll header and does not get included in the browse sequence
    Any ideas folks?

    Funny you should ask as I've been trying to figure this out too!
    This is a Word 2007 issue - I assume you are using Office 2007? I am using RH7, but I believe my solution will work for you because it is Word, not RH.
    Anyhow, assuming my Word 2007 assumption is spot-on, you need to change word options.
    Go to the Office button, select Word Options.
    Select Advanced.
    Scroll to bottom of the window and look for Compatibility options (very bottom of the window).
    Expand the layout options.
    Check "don't split apart page break and paragraph mark". (You can apply this to the current open doc you see or all docs - if all docs, you will probably change the global normal template, which you may not want to do.)
    Click Okay.
    Note, if you go to recheck the setting, the format is now listed as "custom".
    Specifically, what was happening is the page break was taking on a "normal" style with 0pts before and after. This caused for me a big gap between the top of the help window and my heading 1 style. (I have my Heading 1 style set to 6pt before and 2pt after and font is 12pt.) Changing the above makes the page break itself take on the Heading 1 style which then also expands across the draft window instead only a couple inches. Other than affecting how the Heading 1 might appear in the compiled help system, I don't see any probelm with using the page break with the normal style applied to it, however, it is a little disconcerting. I noticed this particularly in the Outline view as I sort the pages in my the doc alphabetically based on Heading 1 so I can locate info easily by client name. When I used the "normal" or should I say "abnormal" style page break, these page breaks were excluded from the sort and I had no page breaks! (At least there is still an undo option!)
    I'm not sure, but you may need to modify the robohelp.dot template to keep this permanent for your robohelp for word help systems.
    In addition, your heading style probably does not have the paragraph format setting set to "keep with next", so change the style and that should add the non-scroll to the header.
    One final piece of advice, have the "developer" tab showing in the ribbon. This allows you to access the template and see the styles in your doc. I would  uncheck the "automatically update" option so that when you reopen the doc, it doesn't lose any doc specific style changes you made.

  • Hi, why do we use the break and continue structure?

    Hi, I was wondering why do we use the break and continue structure in some program such as:
    for ( int i = 1; i <= 10; i++ ) {
    if ( i == 5 )
    break;
    So, now why do we use those codes, instead of achiving the same results by not using the if structure.
    I am new in java so I can be totaly wrong that is why my question come to you guys.
    I will appriciate if you let me understand more.

    I may not completely understand your question, but - imagine the following scenario:
    // Looking for some value in a long, unsorted list
    Object target = null;
    int index = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        Object curObject = list.get(i);
        if (curObject.equals(source)) {
            target = source;
            index = i;
    if (target != null){
        System.out.println("Found it at " + index);
    }You will always run through the entire long list, even if the thing you are looking for is the first thing in the list. By inserting a break statement as:
    // Looking for some value in a long, unsorted list
    Object target = null;
    int index = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        Object curObject = list.get(i);
        if (curObject.equals(source)) {
            target = source;
            index = i;
            break;
    if (target != null){
        System.out.println("Found it at " + index);
    }You can skip whatever's left in the list.
    As for continue, yes, I suppose you could use a big if, but that can get burdensome - you end up with code like:
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        Object curObject = list.get(i);
        // you want to do the rest only if some condition holds
        if (someCondition) {
            // do some stuff -
            // And you end up with lots of code
            // all in this if statement thing
            // which is ok, I suppose
            // but harder to read, in my opinion, than the
            // alternative
    }instead of
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        Object curObject = list.get(i);
        // you want to do the rest only if some condition holds
        if (!someCondition) {
            continue;
        // do some stuff -
        // And you end up with lots of code
        // all outside of any if statement thing
        // which is easier to read, in my opinion, than the
        // alternative
    }Hope that helped

  • I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated.

    I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?

    I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
    In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
    I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
    As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
    I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
    Many thanks for your help,

  • Use pages from other templates...not just the one you chose.

    Is there a way to choose a page from another template besides the one I started with. For example if I choose the "School Report" template, but want to also use a page from the "Lesson Plan" template, how can I do this. If you click add new page, it only gives you the initial template pages. I tried opening a new template and copying and pasting the page I wanted, but it does not work.

    My guess is that it's because the objects are floating ones.
    If you switch them as inline one, you will be able to copy the page, sometimes after inserting section breaks.

  • How do I use page numbering and a text block in a footer in Word with the Report Generation Toolkit?

    I am creating a Word document with the Report Generation Toolkit, and LabVIEW 8.2.1. In the report I am using a template that has page numbering enabled in the center. When I try to add a text block to the left side footer, it eliminates the page numbering and adds my text on the left side. I found "Set Report Footer Text" and "Word Set Page Numbering" vi's that may be the clue to this. When I use these two vi's I either get Page 1 of 456789-001 on the left side, or if I reverse the order I get only 456789-001(text) in the left side with nothing in the center. What I would like to achieve is 456789-001(text) on the left footer, and Page 1 of 2 in the center. Is this possible and if it is, then how can I do it?

    Hi SciManStev,
    I have attached a vi where you can see how they can be made to work together. You have to design it such that one follows the other. If you don't design it that way, it results in a race condition and only one of them get executed.
    Good Luck!

  • How to Insert a Page Break and Duplicate a Page in Pages 5.1

    Pages 5 deprecated the "Word Processing" and "Page Layout" styles of document creation, but in 5.1, they have returned.
    It seems that the DEFAULT is to "Word Processing," however it is possible to convert the document to a "Page Layout" document: In your open document, click File, then Convert To Page Layout.
    So, for a Word Processing document, one only needs to click Insert and then Page Break, while in a Page Layout document, click Insert and then Page.
    Unfortunately, the Duplicate Page function has NOT returned, but you can still select the entire contents of a page and copy it to a new page. Unfortunately, your perfect page layout won't copy over exactly, and guides don't copy over either.

    Actually, I had an entire page worth of content that didn't change at all, but now that I think about it, that was probably because I had all of my content in boxes.
    And I was careful to specify Pages 5.1 in my post heading to avoid confusion. It is VERY WELL documented that Apple removed loads of features in their new iWork apps - including all over this support forum.
    Your obvious disdain for Pages 5 notwithstanding, the return of the Page Layout mode is a BIG DEAL to me, as Pages was otherwise just a word processor without it. Prevously, upgrading my Pages 4 documents to Pages 5 would render them un-editable.
    So, instead of the seemingly default answer of "delete Pages 5 and use iWork '09" that I saw on just about every post regarding this particular issue, I'm offering a tidbit of information for those who actually want to try and use the current version the way it is.

  • HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

    Hello,
    My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
    We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
    We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
    There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
    <A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
    <A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
    Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
    I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
    Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
    Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
    header1
    header2
    header2
    header1
    header1
    header2
    Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
    Please excuse my English.
    I am looking forward to your response,
    Lucas

    Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

  • Page Breaks and empty frames

    I have several repeating frames, and a Page Break After on each one. This works fine, but if a frame is null/empty, it still causes a page break.
    Is there a way to prevent the page break if the repeating frame has no data?
    I have Vertical = Variable on each frame.
    thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Try using format mask.
    e.g
    if :myfield is null then
    return false;
    else
    return true;
    end if;
    *** :myfield is the data field in that frame.
    Hope it 'll work for you.

  • How do i access my installer disc on a 2011 macbook pro as they are virtual now, i have tried to use command r and hold shift on start up

    I have, a 2011 macbook pro with osx lion, last year  it died, by doing the not getting past the logo and startup gear, i tried doing the data screen repair where u type some code and try and repair, that didnt work so i took it to genius bar and it wasnt in warrenty and they were gonna charge me but as was only 3 weeks over the warrenty period, so they did for free, and the harddrive they installed had a 90 day warrenty and that is ova now, and my mac has now done the same thing again and this time i think was a power interruption at some point and now has a fault, another thing that crossed my mind is that yes this has done this but could they have (to save money and not right offf a new one) given me my same harddrive back and jus wiped it now 5 months down the track its broken again?
    The laptop isnt even 18 months old and has broken down twice, my old macbook had 4 5 years not a hiccup.
    In conclusion i need to get photoes off it and cant seem to activate safe mode, or do i know how to access the startup disk that the guy did at genius last time, or get to the data screeen that allowed me to attempt to repair the drive. Can someone help me please, i have tried command r and holding shift, meither have worked.

    It's hard to know whether your hard drive has actually failed or if your system has just gotten badly corrupt. If the former, unfortunately, there may be no way to get any data off the drive at this point. If there aren't any backups of that data, it will be gone forever, unless perhaps a high-priced (ie, in the thousand dollar range) data recovery service has some luck with it.
    If the system and/or hard drive are badly corrupt, the same may be true. Some or all of that data may be irrevocably corrupt by now. However, there are some ways that you can attempt to recover from this situation without paying such huge fees. First, if you have access to another Mac, and both have Firewire ports, you can connect the two using Firewire target disk mode. This will mount the damaged drive as if it were an external hard drive on the second Mac, and could allow you to copy some data from the drive.
    Another possibility would be to buy an external hard drive, install Mac OS X on it and boot the machine from that, then copy any data from there that you can.
    In both of these cases, it may be helpful to scan the damaged drive for recoverable files using something like Data Rescue.
    There are also some possible ways to repair the drive if you can't do either of those things, but any repairs at this point could potentially destroy data. I only recommend this as a last resort. Still, if all other options have failed, try repairing the drive using DiskWarrior. This can fix problems that Disk Utility (and fsck, the command-line tool that it sounds like you may have used) cannot. It is possible that DiskWarrior will be able to get the drive back in working order long enough to get the data recovered, though of course it's also possible the process will be destructive.
    If none of the above work, you'll have to seek professional help.

  • ?for-each-group? dosen't work with page break - rtf template???

    Hello all,
    When I give a page break inside the for-each-group the group doesn't iterate any code after the page break. I can't give <?split-by-pagebreak?> in this case because I want that loop to be iterated for every department, and should show the report in one column(ms word column), and the department description in two columns.....as this has to happen for every department I can't write separate code........everything should go into one file......
    Final file should look like:

    <department_report-a table>--one column(ms word column)
    <department_description-a huge text>--two columns(ms word columns)
    <next department>

  • Page breaks and 'Fit Page in Window' option

    This may seem a stupid question but indulge me: when I add a page break InDesign is only showing me the very top of the text frame on the page the cursor has moved to. How do I get InDesign to honour the 'Fit Page to Window' option when I add page breaks? Do I really have to keep hitting command-0?

    It does like to go exactly to the first line of the next page. It's not very intuitive.
    However, you can hold down Alt and scroll the page up.
    Or while holding alt - click and hold anywhere on the page. It will zoom out. Move the red box where you want to Zoom to, then release the mouse.
    Or you could press Return a few times then delete the returns.

  • Interactive Reporting Reports w/ Page Breaks and Charts

    I have an IR report that is Grouped. I would like to page break after each group; however, when I set this up, it page breaks be/tw the report header and the very first group. Is there a way to avoid this issue?
    Also, I have created charts from queries. When I drag them into a report body, I can not figure out how to control where the go (and stay). It seems the only way around the issue is to drag them into the report footer, but then if the report body is shorter from one query run to another, it seems to leave the charts on the pages where they were before instead of moving them up to the end of the report body. How can I fix so the chart's location moves depending on the length of the report?
    Thanks.

    Terri,
    to clarify...Spring works within the same report area, for example a table followed by a chart in the Body. Spring allows the position of the top of the chart to be relative to the bottom of the table so as it grows or shrinks the chart maintains the same space between the two objects. without spring the top of the chart would be relative to the top of the report area it is in and as the table grew the objects would end up being layered.
    You should not need to upload a new CSV file. You can just "Process" it and it will refresh the data. if the CSV file is moved from where it was first imported you will be prompted to find it otherwise the imported file section within the BQY will have any additional Rows and/or Columns that the updated CSV file has.
    Make sense?

  • Allow page breaks and text overflow indicator

    I have set up a sub form to allow page breaks within content which works but then the content that continues on the next page has the text overflow indicator showing and the text field does not expand which is what I want it to do. What do I need to do to get it to continue flowing?

    I do not understand why this should be so difficult.   What I am doing is just opening a blank form and I can either insert a text field or a subform.  I then go to check allow page breaks within content and it is greyed out on a text field.  I also can create the subform and it allows me to set it to flowed and allow page breaks but it then has a indicator that displays (Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting allow page breaks within content object of the parent object restrict this object from breaking between pages).  The only thing that makes sense is the parent is the blank page form.  I have searched all over the place and I cannot see anyplace to set the form page to allow page breaks.  The only thing that is on the form is either a check box or a subform and thats it. It keeps having a problem with a parent object.  The only 2 objects I see are the blank page and then the text field I add.  Nothing seems obvious to fix this.  This software does not appear to be very user friendly.
