Book Pagination Issue

2007-05-23 Thread Alan Litchfield
Look at it this way.

FrameMaker emulates the real world. In the example below ch1 finishes on an
even page, and ch2 starts on the right
ch1
1-2, 3-4, 5-6
ch2
7-8, 9-10, 1-12

If you decide to have no blank pages ch1 finishes in this example on the right
and ch2 starts on the left
ch1
1-2, 3-4, 5
ch2
6-7, 7-8, 9-10

What you can't have is a one sided piece of paper. That is, all sheets of
paper have two sides. It is a physical impossibility to have a piece of paper
with only one side and FrameMaker cannot be allowed to permit such a thing
when setting up pagination rules.

Book Pagination Issue

2007-05-22 Thread Fabio Di Francesco
Hi All, 

 

I was simply wondering if it is possible to have the first page of every
chapter in a book begin on the right side, and yet not have FM insert an
empty page at the end of the previous chapter. I've tried several things
including setting the files in the book to start on Next Available Page
and to Delete Empty Pages. This removes the empty page but assigns the
1st Page Side to left in the pagination properties of the subsequent
chapter.

 

Thank you, 

Fabio Di Francesco

Hi Fabio,

In all of my manuals, every chapter starts on the right page.
If there is not enough material on the last (left) page of the previous
chapter, only the header and footer display, the rest of that page is
blank.
In my document template, I created a master page for the first page,
then left and right page masters.
Set your Format  Page Layout  Pagination dialog box to:
* Double Sided
* 1st Page Side: Right
* Before Saving  Printing: Make Page Count Even
Try that, it should work for you.

Yes. It's possible. In pagination, select single-sided, instead of 
double-sided. Then every page becomes a righthand page! But, as long as you 
choose double-sided, FrameMaker has to insert a blank page after chapters 
that end on a righthand page, because the back of that page counts as a 
page, too.
