Check to see if you have "Overrides" on your text, or a character style.

So glad it was helpful!!

You're welcome!

So yes, the Print Replica will work on ANY Kindle device, it just might not be in color, depending on what the device's capability is. If you need to force the devices to look at something in "spreads," you must use the Comic Book version.

Yes, check description for script download link.

I believe he also has single-use "tokens," not sure on pricing for them, but probably worth it for getting massive projects done without spending HOURS.

I would reach out to Rob via his website if you're interested in using. He's looking for test users all the time and would probably give you a temporary trial key!

You're welcome!

Great!

I KNOW. I was so mad the first time I needed to do this. XD

You bet!

You are so welcome!

You are welcome!

You can't make a global style like that without scripting. I think you're saying, every instance of a font at 10 pts automatically turns red? You can do this via Paragraph Styles, however.

@@beckysgraphicdesign how to make scripting...?

Oh! Really? Is it "PAH-geen-ah", then? I took spanish class in high school, so I tend to use a spanish pronunciation for such words. Thanks for the correction.

@@beckysgraphicdesign no problem at all! I can only say that in Italian and spanish the pronounciation should be "pàgina" with the accent on the first "a". This is very much like when, a few centuries ago, ‘Allegro’ and ‘Mosso’ were written on the sheet music in Italian whatever the composer's linguistic origin. Traces of this can also be found in InDesign when ‘Italic’ is written in italic 😀

Glad to hear that!

You're very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Yes, I consider myself "lazily efficient." I hate performing mundane tasks repeatedly, so I'll expend maximum effort to avoid that!

Great!

Glad it helped!

Are you saying you want to do something like MailMerge in Microsoft Word? I have often wished for a "counter" in InDesign, but the only good way to do it is with numbered lists.

@@beckysgraphicdesigni mean when a write in word the number are for example in the same page are 1 and 2 But if i want to print it in signatures it sould be like one the same page are 1 and 12 … if you understand me

Oh, like for printing a booklet with "out of order" printed pages due to physical page order. I haven't experimented with that in InDesign.

You're welcome!

Great!

That was a visual issue some time ago, but I haven't experienced it in the last 1.5 years of InDesign updates!

You bet!

*Thumbs up*

Yes, if you combine all of your .indd documents into a book (.indb) file, you can set the footnotes to "Continuous" rather than "Starts at 1." You might not SEE those changes take place until you do a PDF export, however.

​@@beckysgraphicdesign I did, but it's not working, each chapter starts numbering from footnote 1, maybe there is a script for that, but I couldn't find it online either.

You're welcome!

In the GREP tab, search for: ~b ~b Or sometimes:

1. Upload PDF file into Kindle Create software 2. Choose either Print Replica or Comic Book 3. Export file (it will create a .kpf file) 4. Upload .kpf to KDP (where you would normally upload an .epub file)

I had the same problem My comic book version kept getting rejected so I did the print replica and it worked. WHen I opened up kindle on my phone the images were not fitting the screen. I had to scroll around to see the pages

Yes! You're welcome!

Really? I've never seen that before but would be interested to test those files. For some, that could be considered a feature.

You sure can! We're hosting another live event on the 14th: calendly.com/bgd/top-three-formatting-tips-for-children-s-books-clone

You can definitely join the free Software Showcase we'll be hosting on the 14th! (We'll be putting out links to the sign-up.)

@@beckysgraphicdesign Oh, that's great! Will you be putting out the links here on UA-cam? I'm in Europe and hopefully there won't be big difference in time for me. I'm really looking forward!

So glad!

Great!

No such thing as interactivity like checkboxes in any kind of eBook. The only kind of "interactivity" we can get is hyperlinks. If you're trying to make a shape with a hyperlink, that is not possible in a print replica, but can be made to work in a fixed format .ePub.

@@beckysgraphicdesign Thanks for the quick reply! I want roll over buttons for captions. Re: make a shape w/ hyperlink - that would be for some platform other than KDP/Print Replica, Print Replica requires PDF not epub, right? Is there another platform that might work for a fixed layout epub w/ interactivity? [Do you know - where can ebook project/similar w/ID-created buttons be used reliably? I can't get the buttons to work except in Adobe Digital Editions or Acrobat. Buttons don't seem to work in any app on iPhone or (newest) iPad - not even in ID Publish Online (don't have Android devices to check with, haven't checked on PC). Everything works great in the ID Interactivity Preview.]

Yeah, PDF (as viewed in a PDF-viewer) are much more capable than other formats. Print Replicas can ONLY maintain text-based hyperlinks. As far as animated clickable/roll-over stuff goes, the closest you might get (in a reflowable ePub, anyway) is to use Endnotes/Footnotes. In the ePub Export Settings, there's a way to make Endnotes appear as a pop-up, and it works well. I have never tried to use that feature in a fixed-format, so I can't vouch for it, but it's POSSIBLE that you could hi-jack that functionality for other uses.

Awesome!

I have another video coming out soon which will explain how to properly create a (nice-looking) fixed format .epub for children's books.

No, the only place you can use this is Amazon.

So, what exactly are you trying to do? Start certain paragraph styles on a new page? Use Keep Options>Start Paragraph>On Next Page OR On Next Odd Page, if you're wanting to do standard book settings.
