Hi all,
I am working on a magazine which contains a section of clubpages, containing their monthly program.
I receive text and a scheme with the order of these clubpages.
One clubpage can contain the program of 1, 2 or 3 different clubs.
For each page I have a masterpage, also for the pages containing more than one club.
I already have a script selects the textfolder, and places the right text on the right place. I found out there are two ways to do this.
- I can name the text boxes in the masterdoc with the name of the club (30 x), and let the script generate the pages in the right order and then tell the document to place the right text in the right box.
- I can name the text boxes of each masterpage like “bodytext1”, bodytext2" and “bodytext3”. Then let the script add a page, place the text for clubA in “bodytext1”. If there is a box “bodytext2”, place that text. If not, add masterpage N, place text for the next club.
The method of number 1 is working (but I didn’t work out script and doc for the rest)
With method 2 I can’t figure out how to tell page N to start from the beginning with placing text.
Now the question:
- What is the best method for working out this script (and masterdocument); method 1 or 2?
- If method 2 is the best method, then how do I script the “repeat and add page”-part?
Thanks for thinking about this.
