Sequential page numbers on alternate pages

2007-09-04 Thread Fred Ridder
I'm not sure the situation is as grim as you think. I think the
2-page spread approach gets you most of the way there.

It should be quite easy to prepare English-only or translation-
only versions very by importing the appropriate flow into a
conventional, single-page template. (Remember that the
File>Import>File operation imports on a flow-by-flow basis,
so you can import the two languages into new container
documents separately.)

And if you really need to print a side-by-side version, most
print vendors should be able to handle the imposition required
to produce page signatures from a PDF that contains 2-page
spreads. The one thing you might want to do to make it easier
to verify that the imposition is correct is to number use the
same number but a different language suffix on the left-hand
and right hand pages (e.g. 2-F on the left-nand page and 2-E
on the right-hand, English page) of each 2-page spread.

But I freely admit that I have never had to do this for real...

stickiest part of all of this is any requirement for "special
impositioning tricks." XPress can manage two flows, one linked by hand, on
one wide page, and that system will work all right in translation, but the
pages require tricks to print. At least overriding right/left pages and
adding page numbers by hand results in standard print files.

If you could create a custom variable which calculates ((current page

possible?

If you create Flow A on the left pages and Flow B on the right pages, 
can they have separate numbering?

You could colour white the page number variable on the right master page, so 
it is included in the count but not displayed.

Sequential page numbers on alternate pages

2007-09-03 Thread Peter Gold
This has been asked in various permutations and answered with a variety of
suggested solutions, on one or another of the FrameMaker forums. A Google
search for framemaker page numbering, or framemaker custom page numbering,
should turn up one or more discussions.

Usually one suggestion is to create a small flow-tagged master-page text
frame on the master for the particular body page, Left, in this case, to
hold page numbers.  Then on the first left body page, tag the paragraph
marker in the text frame with a numbered format that's set to start at top
of column, and press enter a lot of times to push numbers into all existing
pages.

Variables don't increment this way.

 No. But, because FM only can have one page number per spread, another
solution is to create a two-page wide layout, and use standard page numbers
that display only on the "left page." You'd need to create a master-page
text frame for Flow B, with Autoflow property for the "right page."

Subject: Sequential page numbers on alternate pages



Hello,

I have been asked to help out on a funny problem. A client is looking 
for a better way to publish bilingual files in which the source 
language is on the left pages and the target language is on the 
right. Page numbers are only on the left pages, but the sequence 
ignores the right pages. The left pages are 1, 2, 3, etc., and the 
right pages aren't counted. The original files are in QuarkXpress, 
and the page numbers are added by hand. I can do with this with XML 
and XSL-FO (and even that isn't 100% automated), but that isn't 
always an easy sell. FrameMaker would be an easier sell, if there 
were a way to pull this off.


Thanks,
Kevin

You could colour white the page number variable on the right master page, so 
it is included in the count but not displayed.
