FW: Framemaker 9 master pages - reversed pagination

Thu Jun 2 06:34:56 PDT 2011

Thanks for this feedback folkes. I was misled by thinking that they would appear in the order they do in the document, of course now you’ve explained it, it makes sense that this would not always be the same.

Part of my concern was that I can cope with any idiosyncrasies I create in the document (I’m teaching myself FM as I go along) but I was worried how this might be handled by other people such as the translators.

Thanks again

Andy

PS: Excellent forum by the way!

Hi Andy

As Richard said, you have imagined a problem where there was none! FM will simply apply the Right page to the right pages, and the Left page to the left pages. It makes no difference what order they appear in when you view master pages. You'll need to reset your header/footer/page number positions with regard only to the *name* of the master page, not the order in which it appears.

If you create your own (extra) master pages, such as TitlePage, they will appear in the order in which you created them - not alphabetically or in any other order.

Hope this clarifies things.

Roger

I have a problem with the master pages in my document, for some reason the pagination seems to be back to front.

I’ve got two master pages for each section of my document, one for left hand and one for right hand pages. 

The RH page always appears in the document as the first page. 

However, when I open my master pages the page that appears at the top is the LH page. The RH master page appears below.

Not knowing how to fix this I’ve worked around it by setting the page numbering and other headers and footers to take account of the positioning. I can continue to fix this as it doesn’t need to be dealt with too often but I’m wondering:

a.       How it came about?

b.      Is there a simple solution that could put it right that wouldn’t involve a major restructuring of the document?

Any thoughts? 

Cheers

Andy
