TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
>>Does anyone here know much about Pagemaker? We can't see a way of
including the TOC and front matter in the publication, but
nevertheless starting the actual page numbering after them. Is this
possible? The problem is that the publication all has to be done in
the one shot as it's being turned into a giant .PDF file.
You can either put your front matter in the rear of your file and
turn off the Master Items for those pages (assuming you have put the
page numbers on your master pages), or you can open a separate file
for your front matter. Use the PageMaker Book utility to compile the
TOC from the one file and place it in the other.
After you make your .pdf file, use Adobe Exchange to move the pages
from the back of the book to the front, if necessary.
