Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

[Tim Pann]

I asked the same question recently and was told it can’t be done – changing all Master Pages to the new page size is the appropriate behavior. The suggested workaround was to generate a book and create a new file containing the different page size, and modifying page numbering etc. to create continuity across the book.

 

If David Spreadbury’s suggestion works then that renders the advice I got incorrect.

Subject: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

 

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.
