@@CreativePro How do they create a paragraph style that can automatically insert any selected text inside quotes? Also, how they create character styles that can automatically insert a dash before quote author. For example, Author's name when i apply i get _Author's name. For quotes, example. This is a boy. After applying the style, I get "This is a boy" These things are common used while editing Bible verses . Thanks, hope to hear from you soon.

I have an InDesign document created by another designer. She created 2 sections. So I have page 1-12 in one section and then the new sections starts right after that and is number 1-184. I'm trying to make a PDF of just page 4 in the second section. When I do, I'm getting a prompt that there are 2 "page 4". I tried labeling the sections as "Intro" and "Catalogue" and put in a print range like "Intro4" or "Catalogue4", but I can't seem to figure out how to get a pdf of page 4 in section labeled Catalogue. Any help appreciated.
@CreativePro2 ай бұрын
Put a plus sign (+) in front of the number of the actual page. For instance, it sounds like it's actually page 16 in the document. You could also switch your page numbering to Absolute Numbering in Preferences... but if you have auto page numbers, it would use those. You can toggle it on/off to see which page you need.

I did as described in the video. Unfortunately, if I add pages, the section page remains the same. Let me explain: for example, section 2 is on page 10. If a page is added in section 1, section 2 is still on page 10, whereas it should be on page 11. So I have to delete the section and recreate another one on page 11. On a long text (in my case, 700 pages and nearly 40 sections), this is a pain. Indeed, I have done my layout and indicated the sections. Then I realised that it would be better to enlarge the fonts. This led to the addition of pages, of course, but not to the moving of the sections. Is there any option to indicate? Thank you.
@CreativePro Жыл бұрын
Something isn’t working with your doc or copy of InDesign. If you add pages to section 1, then section 2 will shuffle down to accommodate. Try saving as IDML, then re-opening and saving as INDD. SOmetimes that clears out the cobwebs. -EG
@eneehquarter2707 Жыл бұрын
@@CreativePro After doing several tests, I realised that if I manually add pages, the sections move as desired. The problem is if I add a page and then add text which implies a page shift, or if, as I did, I enlarge the characters or other objects and indesign automatically adds pages. Then the sections shift and I have to put everything back in order.

So it would look like this..... Pg.1- Ch.1 - Section 1.... So only the page and chapter numbers change, but I want to keep the Section 1 for a bunch of chapters. I hope that made sense.

One thing about Adobe is that their developers must sit in 'dark rooms' somewhere and think up ways to make life as complicated as possible. Very nice video, but in the 'real world', it does not work. I have an Id document of 500 pages , in some sort of order, with individual pages about my business, with multiple masters in each, numberered 1-500. The only way I can put them into sections is with the use of 'Colour Labels', whereas you have created sections based on Masters. Adobe is so frustrating......
