Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

[David Spreadbury]

Alison,
Probably the easiest way would be to make a new 11x17 template page, not as part of the main book master pages, and just insert the 11x17 page as a component of the book, in the appropriate page relation to the main book. As long as you don't try and copy page layouts from a normal chapter to the 11x17 'chapter', or vice versa, you shouldn't have a problem. You might have to tweak a few para tags. If you do modify the para tags, you don't what to copy them to the main book, or vice versa.

This is
a question for a fellow tech writer who can be reached at "karlmeinert at hotmail
dot com" if you want to talk to him directly. 

   

He is running Windows 7 with FM9 p230 (but will be updating his patches
shortly). 

   

   

Karl says; 

   

"Basically I want to have a graphic spanning a 2-page
spread (left page - right page) within a chapter. When I tried making a master page
11x17, it applied to all master pages. Same when trying to edit a single body page.
 

   

I'm not sure how relevant this is but I had to reinstall
FM and disable the "PDF creation" install option because it would not
work with this system. " 

   

   

His first e-mail to me also said: 

   

"I'm thinking of adding an 11x17 page in my book
to display a screenshot with many callouts, but i can't figure out how to apply
this page formatting to only one "page". The intent would be to have the
page span page 2 and 3 of the chapter. Master pages doesn't like the idea much." 

   

   

If anyone has any suggestions for him (I am anything but a Master Pages
expert), he would appreciate the help. 

   

Alison
