SOLVED Inserting a same marker in all files of a book

[de Rouck, Tom (Gent)]

Hi all, 

Thanks for all your ideas but yesterday I finally saw the light...

I remembered the good old "By pasting" option in the Find/replace window, and 
magically, you can paste a marker! This is something I did not know and which 
might be interesting for others!
Luckily my docs contain some recurring text so I can find/replace "recurring" 
text by "recurringblablabla" text and then find/replace "blablabla" by the 
marker. 

Kind regards, 
Tom

Hi Ricard, 

Thanks for this idea, it's great but apparently it does not work for my 
application.
The 'PageStyle' marker is a marker recognised by ePublisher to apply a specific 
layout (override to the standard layout).
When I put it on the Master pages, ePublisher does not seem to recognize it...

Thanks anyway!

Kind regards,
Tom

Well, once again, I probably don't understand the context... (It would help to 
know what the purpose of the PageStyle marker, what you're trying to 
accomplish, and why the kinds of pgfs in the main text flow
matter.) 

But what the heck, I'll jump in anyway. 

Assuming that the marker can live in a background text frame (like the header 
or footer), put it on the master pages of one of the files. Then import page 
layouts from that file to the other files in the book. 

HTH!

Might be cumbersome, but here's an idea --

Create a new book of new files that each contain only your PageStyle 
marker and one auto-generated file imported as a text inset set to 
update automatically.

RE: Inserting a same marker in all files of a book

[Chris Despopoulos]

If you can't afford a script, or while you're waiting for one (assuming the 
marker has to be on the body page), you could always try to work up some form 
of find/replace where you copy the marker and replace by paste.  But a plugin 
or script should be very simple to produce for this.  I could do a custom 
plugin (no need for an engine like FrameScript) in a few hours.  I'm sure there 
are others on the list who could do it as well.  If this is really a regular 
issue, the investment would definitely be worth it, I believe.

Hi Framers,

I'm guessing my issue will only be solvable by a script?

Working within Framemaker 8 (Technical Suite) I need to insert a PageStyle
