Mop-up session with Gary and Susan
Double Trucks
What is a DT? It may be 2 pages plus one column, 2 pages plus less than a column, or 2 pages.
In setup, product configuration menu, number of columns, min, max. If you are going to do DT, the max columns should be big enough to accommodate the width. If your DT size is less than an integral number of columns, you want to modify the width of the center "gutter" column. The "Margins between pages when printing" setup page contains the entry for double truck column width so you can change it here, putting only the gutter width.
Modify photodef, eps, col msr, there is a max size for command parameters. So that DT objects such as folios and banners will not collapse, you need to make this big enough. 127p should be big enough for anything.
(on same screen, ad dump column depth is the minimum depth for segmented ad segments. If you're saying only ads with depth of over 2 inches can wrap, set this value to 2 inches.)
Now adjust your page size. Left page, edit the page, column adjust put 11 in "right". Right page, edit the page, column adjust, put -10 in "left".
You may need a new device to receive the double-truck size output. You also need to know if your ad creation system can create a true DT size ad.
Scotch double truck is not all columns from both pages, but more than one page's worth. Some DT also do not use all vertical space. In this case you want to make sure the center column has a space reservation to keep liners from falling into it, because you don't want liners in the gutter.
Folios
Will be covered in more depth in training. There is a ClassPag variable names document which has a long list of all the variables that can be included in any composition command. Jump boxes, banner text, folios, live index. Also includes function definitions and examples.
Folios are found in Misc, Create folios. Dialog box comes up, choice of quit, rebuild, setdate, setposition. Setposition is what we will use.
Two pieces to folios: the position information, and the composition commands or graphic references to build it. To change the position of the folio, highlight the folio entry in question, hit F12, and select "edit position." You get to the bottom part of the screen. Your X and Y positions control the position just like a plotter with 0,0 in the lower left. You can use negative numbers. You can also use a rotation angle on your folio.
If you are editing and lose it entirely, make the X and Y values both 5i (do a five by five) which will put it in the middle and then you can inch it around to the right position.
When you want to test something without destroying existing folios, try copying the current folio and apply it to a different new edition.
How do we change from book name to section name. Hit return on the folio entry and look for the string "BookName". Change that to "SectionName".
The triangle are alt-[ and alt-] (alt key then press the [).
