The template file I use for all the chapter in a book has a number of master pages, not just left and right (as John says), you can have a number and call them different names. Then you decide which Master page you want to use for a specific chapter, or even page We have one for the front page and one for left and right But If I have a long title, then we have a different master page Then a stand alone doc, that is not part of a chaptered book, may be set up slightly differently, but they are all part of the same Template file that we apply to all of the chapters in a book

By default, a FM file has a "Left" and a "Right" master page... which I am using. I'm simply copying the relevant background object group from the side tab master FM file and pasting it onto the "Right" master page for that chapter FM file. I'm not changing anything else. The side tab master file is where I set sizing and positioning for all of the tab groups relevant to one another, and then simply utilize as needed throughout the "real" chapter files... For the chapter 1 FM file, the tab 1 group of objects for the side tab get copied, for the chapter 2 FM file, the tab 2 group, etc. Since copy and paste work on exact position, it's a very simple process. I'm hard pressed to understand how not putting the tab objects on the master pages would make this process easier. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com [mailto:john.x.pos...@us.hsbc.com] Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2016 9:10 AM To: Harding, Dan <dhard...@illinois.edu> Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com; Framers <framers-bounces +john.x.posada=us.hsbc....@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: Re: [Framers] Thumb Tabs No, but it makes your life easier.

Master pages should not vary from chapter to chapter." Since when? As long as the page dimensions and main text flow frames are identical, master page ancillary content can most certainly vary by chapter. You are not limited to using a single master page set for an entire book. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces +dharding=illinois....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Robert +Lauriston Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 12:02 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: [Framers] Thumb Tabs That seems wrong to me.
