Why sometimes Master Pages change/shift content on Content Pages???

I come to you with another conundrum. I hope one of you have seen something like this happen before!
Each month we create a newsletter and then we brand it for our various clients - each client getting a different header/footer on all the pages. So we created MasterPages for each client, and when it comes time to export, we apply the Client Master Pages to the content pages and export for each client separately.
However, we have SO many problems with this because inevitably SOMETHING changes in the process. And I am determined to figure out why.
Here is what the bottom of the page looks like. in this particular troubling document. This has our own master page applied to it.
Then when we apply a client's master page, BAM - this happens.
See that odd white space? The blue rectangle that the More Information is sitting on top gets PUSHED DOWN for no apparent reason.
I have investigated all of the master pages. There are no extra pieces of anything. Yet all of the master pages are doing this and I can't figure out why.
I've looked at the layers situation - there's nothing weird about how the layers are set up. I've even tried locking the content layer but this still occurs.
WHY does this happen?
The only way I've found to stop it is to GROUP everything in that section on the page before applying the masters.
But I'm trying to understand why this would happen?
Where should I look for anomalies? Would there be something about the grid or baseline grid I should check on the master pages vs the content pages? Is there some check mark somewhere I'm not thinking of?
I just am totally baffled since there's NOTHING in the middle of the Master Pages that would be affecting the colored box like that.
Any ideas, you brilliant people?? You guys have helped us solve other puzzles in the past and we are grateful for any light you can shed on this issue!

It would be important to see WHAT is on that master page? What is on the page?
Do you work with layers? This is very important! Are all items on the very same layer in both versions?
Do you work with paragraph and object styles? It is a must do!

How can I make my content follow my master when master page size is changed?

I have a header with a menu structure etc. that is set as a master page. When I create a new page and apply the master to this page, everything looks fine. I will then start designing the rest of the page. However, if my master page should change size, the content of the page it is applied to will not move accordingly. What am I doing wrong?
I'll try explaining it with an example:
Say my header on my master page is originally 250px in height, and I design all the pages using this master, but then decide that my header needs to increase to 300 px in height. Then my master header will just be laid OVER the content of the page. Isn't there a way to make the content under the header move automatically when the master size is changed?
Also, it really should be possible to add more than one master to a page.

The correct master is applied, but I can't get it to work. Am I doing something wrong with the guides?
I have included screenshots that show how the master looks, how the page with the master looks, and what happens when I change the size of the master page.
Master:
Page with applied master
Content doesn't move when master page changes size
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

Change Master Page based on Text Content

Hello,
I have found a few examples relating to changing Master pages based on Style.
However, I would like to change all Pages that flag "True" with the query of the "2-1134" to to "Master-C" for example.
I have 12 master Pages with different strings that I don't mind editing the script to make work.
The document is close to 1,000 pages.
I am having trouble merging so many different scripts into something that will work.
Platform: Indesign CS4 6.0.5 - OS X (Intel)
Thank you so much for your input, help and guidence.

This is what layers are for. Open the Layers panel and make at least one more layer. Put the graphic on the lower layer and the footer on the upper layer.

If a master page footer is changed why don't the changes appear on the pages?

The master page footer is not uniformly applied to the pages. Page 1 lacks the chapter title but has the correct chapter number. All the rest of the pages have both chapter number and title, but show the chapter number as 2. I have updated the numbers in the book panel but to no effect.

Thanks, I did that but it did not help. I have been messing with this first chapter for so long there may be a lot of conflicting instructions embedded that have not been cleared.

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

Error in displaying master page content in overflowing pages

Hi All,
I am having a master page with logo, bill to party address and item details. The logo and bill to party are in a separate sub form of the master page and the item details are in the design view of the page.
My problem is when the item details overflow to next page, the logo and bill to party address are not appearing in the next page with the item details.
Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I read many post telling the master page content will be repeated on all subsequent pages. Dont know why it fails for me . Am i missing something. Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Vadivu

Hi,
My issue got resolved, i changed my master page overflow to the same master page. Its is displaying the details on the next page when items are over flowing.

Master Page Content Boxes – Adjusting?

I thought I understood how to use content boxes on master pages, but I think I may have been wrong!
I have set up master pages, for example one right hand page has a square frame. I then drag and place an image in each of the boxes in the main document pages.
However, having then attempted to change the master page, moving or resizing the box on the master is not reflected in the dependent pages within the main document.
(From reading the help pages, I believe this might be because I have overridden it?)
I am part way through creating a document and I realise now that I want to change the page size. Having already added content, I want to be able to reposition all of the main document's image boxes.
Apologies for being ill informed about InDesign. I suspect more preparation would have seen me through here.

Thanks for replying!
Notwithstanding this option in CS6 (I'm using CS5)...
If I don't adjust the page size and I simply move the image box on the master, it does move all of the images on the main pages.
Why should changing the page size first affect how master pages interact with main pages? Is there any way round this?

Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
is:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
base.OnLoad(e);
this.EnsureChildControls();
if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
this.LoadValues();
if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
we are not yet ready to do?

Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
any suggestion?

Changing font/-size of a text field on master-pages not possible? (field prop)

Hi,
I would like to change the font and font-size of a textfield on a master page.
I wonder if I do anything wrong, because the font-options (size, font etc.) are simple greyed out / not avaliable, when I click on my text field.
It seems, there is any way to customize the font-properties of a textfield (only) on master-page.
Well I guess it would work with java script in init-event ... but really, why the hell it should not be possible simply to use the properties/text properties?!
Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I do anything wrong or is it really not possible to customize font of a text field on master pages?

Hi,
I was just about to post, that I figured it out.
Actually, I use Livecycle Designer in SAP (transaction SFP). There seems to be a bug (one of hundrets by the way).
If I click on a field, that does not have text-property e.g. subform, text-option menu greys out.
Afterwards it stay this way until I click/doubleclick into a simple text (not text field). From that moment on, text/font-option menu is available again, until I click on something without text. => So pay attention and click wisely
coming soon: "SAP meets Livecycle Designer - a (Bug)Lovestory", hardcover 124 Pages. ; )
by the way: SAP does not sopport interactive forms higher than Reader 8.1. Its statement "8.1 is fine enough for everything you need in a SAP/Adobe Interactive Form". So beware of using XFA higher than in 8.1. sad, but true ...

"Oslo.Master" set as the The default Master Page, but when record selected in "List View Web Part" page shifts to the right.

Hi All,
I have set "Oslo.Master" as the The default Master Page for the site. I have a page with a List View web part and an InfoPath Web Part connected. When the page loads is it displayed correctly. However, when a record
is selected and the infopath web part is updated, the content on the page shifts (indents) to the right.
Is there something I am missing? Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Dwayne,
I could reproduce this, as a workaround, we can use javascript code as below to hide the element in the following image.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentBox').prev().hide();
</script>

Master page: header changes are not reflected in existing topics

A few months ago this forum helped me to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Show More | Show Less command that I inherited from a previous writer. I chose to use the Single Button approach and used this code, on the Master Page, for "onclick":
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-region_start type="header" style="width: 100%; position: relative;" ?>
<table style="height: 10px;" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<col width="186" />
<col width="481" />
<col width="97" />
<tr>
   <td><h2><img src="NGP_Logo_small.png" alt="" style="border: none;"
       border="0" /></h2></td>
   <td><h2 style="text-align: right; margin-right: 20px;">Help</h2></td>
   <td><h2><img src="btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt=""
       style="border: none;" border="0" /></h2></td>
This worked fine until recently when I changed the logo in the left cell of the header table. Today I discovered that the img src = line had gone away. And so I re-entered it, and it works fine on new topics, and on some, but NOT all topics.
Here's what happens on an older topic:
Preview the topic.
Click Show All button. A Script Error message appears: "The value fo the property 'ShowAll' is null or undefined, not a Function object. Code = 0. file = ...../Help/Administration/rlt1F1.htm.
Here's the HTML code for this topic, which is missing the code btnshowall code.
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript"
        language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-placeholder type="header" ?>
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<col style="width: 80.663%;" />
<col style="width: 19.337%;" />
<tr>
<td><h1><?rh-variable_start name="title" format="default" showcode="showcode"
          value="Setting Global Defaults" ?>Setting Global Defaults<?rh-variable_end ?></h1></td>
<td style="vertical-align: bottom;"><p style="text-align: right;
             margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: Normal;"> </p></td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried setting the Master Page to None and then re-setting it to Main. That does not help.
The only workaround I've found so far is to create a new topic, copy the content from the old topic, delete the old topic, and rename the new topic using the old topic's name. But that is very tedious.
Any thoughts on how to fix the problem without recreating every topic?
Thank you.

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.

Pages don't reflect changes in their master page

I'm using InDesign CS5.5 (v. 7.5.3) with Mac OSX 10.8.4. I found one old question about this problem in another forum (with no submitted answer):
Assume you have a simple document with one master which simply features a text frame. Well, now if you add some inset spacing to the text frame on the master, this is immediately reflected on the pages to which the master had been applied. However, if you edit the master again and set the inset spacing back to zero, the text frames on the pages to which the master had already been applied keep the inset spacing. If one adds new pages, the text frames have no inset spacing, as I would expect. Can someone tell me why InDesign behaves this way... i.e., why are the changes to the master not reflected on the assigned pages when I set the inset spacing back to zero.
This question was asked re CS 2.0. The problem seems to remain in CS 5.5.

I made the changes to the frame inset in the master pages. This is a normal setting for frames, and not complex--and in any case, the point was that I had mistakenly set an inset value, but wanted to reset it to zero, so really nothing to create as an object style. So I reset the value to zero in the master pages. No update. I tried reapplying the changed master page to the doc pages. No update.
You note: "And if you reset the text frame in the Master it won't reflect in the pages."
Is this a known feature/bug? Why shouldn't inset values be part of master text frames and thus updated with them? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Thanks for the suggestion about object styles, though. I don't think it applies here, but I can see the usefulness elsewhere, and I've never really looked at them.

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!

Why sometimes Master Pages change/shift content on Content Pages???
