A running header or running head is an important editorial design element for catalogs, magazines, books and most long format documents. In this video I will show you how to set up a universal running header for a magazine in Adobe InDesign by using a Text Variable with a Character Style.

Thanks so much! Creating a blank character style is so useful! Is it also possible to create a blank paragraph style? I'm looking for a way to include headings of different formats in the table of contents.

It's so nice presentation. Thank you so much. I have a doubt. Could you please solve it? Why few running headers are bold letters? Even headers were selected as normal letters. So how to solve it?

Good tutorials! I still have some searching to do numbering in running header,.. inDesing just takes titles, I hope there is a workaround...

Thanks. I think I got it. But what if I want a different header for the opposite page? Like Title on the left-side page, Author Name on the right-side page.

Thanks. How can quotes paragraph and character styles be created in indesign like the quotes styles in word. Also, how can it be done for the author's name as well. Thanks

How to you keep a [colour] highlighted word in one of those titles like you have with Creative Adventures being both black and grey? Whenever I use the empty character style for Running Header it changes all those Character Style elements within the titles. The fonts obviously stay because they're made in paragraph styles, but the special character elements obviously don't because it gets overridden by the running head character style

Hello, newbie to InDesign and book formatting ✋ Is there way to set the running headers so that they only appear in the body of a novel and not the extras like prologue/about author and such? Many thanks for those who will aswer!

@spaceandcashmere 10 ай бұрын

I would create a different parent page that you use for end matter! Then you could control whether or not the variable appears on a page.

No matter what i do, it changes my text when i create the "blank" character style

@marcospereira6058 Жыл бұрын

I have a file in pdf (around 1000 pages). I would like to import the file to indesign and insert a text (and the number of each page) in the top of the page. Is there a way to make it easy? Or probably I will need to do it one by one? (The text and number of the page need to stay in the layer up to the document to be showed)

@grafiki08 Жыл бұрын

Yes, this should be fairly easy to do. Step1: Save the pdf file as a word document. Step 2: Create and InDesign document with a single page. Step3: Hold the Shift key and use the Place Command (File > Place) to import the Word document into Indesign. Note that by holding the shift key, all 1000 pages will imported at the same time. Adding page numbers - Step 4: Double click on the Master Page A (the default master page). If your InDesign document uses facing pages, you would have a Left Master A and Right Master A. Draw a text box where you want the page number and hold down Command/Control, Option, Shift and type N. This will create a placeholder A for your number. Copy and paste this placeholder A on the Right Master page. Now return to your pages and you should see page numbers where you had the placeholder A. If you don't need a page number on any page, simply drag the None Master page onto the page icon to apply and the number would disappear. Hope this helps you.

You can also import the pdf document into InDesign and add the page numbers using the steps listed above. You can use an InDesign script called Place MultiPDF to bring in all 1000 pages into InDesign. Note you can add content to the document but the imported file will not be editable.
