Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss as to how I can make this work. I would really rather not have to open each of the ~5500 documents and manually remove the line from the master A and B footers. In hindsight, maybe this was a bad idea, and I'd adjust for the next time I set something up, but it's what we have to live with in my group right now. I do not have the different elements in the master page in different layers everything resides within Layer 1 on the Layers panel. What had previously had Smart Text Reflow enabled, still seems to have it enabled, but a newly inserted image or additional text does not automatically flow onto the next page in the document. When I bring in my page to synch, set it as the style source, select the files to synch, go to the synch options, disable everything except Master Pages, and finally synch the files, everything seems to look ok the correct line of text has been removed from the footer of the page. It doesn't seem to be as "charming" for master page synching. This was the process I used for when we updated object and paragraph styles, which worked like a charm. Showing results for Show only Search instead. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. I thought that I would create a file with the correct footer on master pages A and B, insert that into each book, and sync the files within the book to that inserted file. Making my master page text boxes 'primary' by clicking on the little icon did the trick - 9821966. Recently, we have been asked to remove a line from the footer (which exists on master pages A and B). In all, there are somewhere in the realm of 5500. These documents have Smart Text Reflow turned on, as we want the text or images to flow onto a second page if necessary. Any time that your screen doesn’t seem to redraw properly, the Recompose All Text shortcut is worth a try.We have a number of book files and within each book, there are multiple documents of a page or 2 each. Other highly-automated features that I’d expect to sometimes require this shortcut include: footnotes, text variables, conditional text, cross references, live captions, and automatic paragraph numbering. But I’ve run into obscure situations when an Auto-Size Text Frame that contains anchored graphic doesn’t automatically resize, and I need to hit the Recompose All Text shortcut to force the frame to resize. The awesome Auto-Size Text Frame feature (new in InDesign CS6) is supposed to adjust the size of a text frame any time that the text changes within the frame. Today I had a very complex long file that would not flow the text past page 1 until I hit the Recompose All Text shortcut, and then it flowed perfectly. Some of these features require almost constant “background” recalculation and recomposition of text, columns, line endings, page breaks, etc.įor example, the addition of Smart Text Reflow (new in InDesign CS4) requires InDesign to “rethink” pagination every time a text change or change to the size or shape of text frames is made. More automation features have been added to each upgrade of InDesign. But I’ve suddenly found myself needing to use it several times in the last couple of weeks. Did you know that InDesign has an obscure keyboard shortcut to “force” a recompose of all the text in the document? This “Recompose All Text” shortcut (command-option-/ ctrl-alt-/ ) has been around for many years.
