InDesign • How to Quickly Style a WHOLE Book • Interior Print Design Layout Process || PART TWO

This is a video for fellow graphic designers who are looking to speed up their book layout process. In this video duology, I am able to style (not design!) an entire book in about an hour.
I also answer some questions about InDesign features (& errors and how to bypass them.) Why does InDesign use the wrong style when I import and place a Word document? Why is my text always highlighted? How do I keep italic and bold formatting when importing to InDesign? How do I save all my book documents at once rather than saving them one at a time?

These videos just changed everything for me....Maaann... I'm mostly self-taught and completely forgot about GREPs and didn't know about combining files into a Book panel. I feel so enlightened.

This is the tutorial, I'm looking for... better than the other vlogger on KZfaq, and I may come as the best one, very detailed. I am an ebook formatted and use sigil for most of my projects. Thanks for enlightening me on your video. Planning to do book formatting for Ingram. I hope you can also attach a template. I'm sorry if that's too much :)

Yes! I just recently started using Sigil to do more advanced editing on my ebooks, but I allow InDesign to give me a headstart by generating my file!

There's a lovely little script called BreakTextThread-byStyle, which can separate the text each time it encounters a certain paragraph style. Also, there's ExtractPages by ID-Extras with this function. I use it to break a long .indd document automatically into a chaptered book doc. I don't talk about that function of the script in this video (I need to make one), but this contains info about ExtractPages: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9ajpcxexNilkoU.html

Kayla, this is great. Just curious- why do you use - ( control-Shift- Alt- S )- at the end to save?

@beckysgraphicdesign Жыл бұрын

This saves ALL my open files at once rather than saving one at a time over and over again with Ctrl+S.

Thanks ma! This is really helpful. Please how can the table of contents and also the book index be developed through this book formatting?

@beckysgraphicdesign 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, InDesign has a terribly poor index function. There are several third-party plug-ins and scripts that can help with that! A few are free, but the good ones are paid-for. www.indiscripts.com/category/projects/IndexMatic

11:04 - It is very dangerous to replace just the tab with nothing. The tab we need is only at the beginning of the paragraph. And what if it happens in the place of a normal space between the words of a sentence? Then such a replacement will cause a lot of problems. Therefore, during such a global replacement, it needs to indicate that the tab should be only at the beginning of the paragraph by adding a "^" sign in front of it! "^\t" Also, the beginning of a paragraph may not necessarily begin with a tab. There can be any number of normal spaces. Then it is better to replace the tab search with a search for any number of spaces: "^\s*". Now, both spaces and tabs at the beginning of paragraphs will be removed.

hello! question, what if i created my book file, placed all my chapters in the book file, and later find out we need to change the book sizing and the margins, will the sync options work for updating the page and margin sizes across all the chapter documents if the changes being made are in chapter 1 (primary chapter) also does there need to be primary text boxes here or no? i have 77 chapters in this book, thank you!

@beckysgraphicdesign 7 ай бұрын

If you have your files set up with Primary Text frames, this would be pretty easy, since you could indeed update and sync the Parent Pages for all documents. If the text frames are NOT primaries.... the best thing would be to use "Adjust Layout" for all of the files, probably.

Can please tell me how much should I charge for layouting a book with just headers and body. And how much should I charge to convert it to ebook.

Try to think about how much you would like to make per hour, then estimate how many hours you think it will take. With that information, you can give your client a quote!

So when I use a book file and create a PDF, it's necessary create a printer spread or it's included in this book feature?

@beckysgraphicdesign 7 ай бұрын

Do not send the printer a file set-up in "spreads." They want pages.

Am not sure, and shame on me because I could try it myself - but you might be able to change multiple manual passes of ~b~b -> ~b , with just: ~b+ -> ~b . This _might_ mean, ‘change one or more ~b to just one’. The ‘+’ sign means that usually in regular expressions, but I can’t be sure it’ll work in InDesign. ‘~b’ isn’t in normal regular expressions, so InDesign might do its own thing a bit.

MhhHHH! Okay, thank you. I'll have to try it next time. I love tips about GREP; always something to learn!
