Hi Peter, Jean
Hello Olivier and Jean
Just had a quick look at the Draw Guide and have found the following errors.
1. Extra page between front cover and Copyright page. The title Draw Guide 7.3 has direct formatting on top of Text Body style. Is there a need for this page when there is a cover page?
OK, so I admit I thought the Guide PDF was to be printed in user's inkjet printer, recto-verso and bound.
The extra page is a blank page exported by PDF when the current page is right only or left only. In this case the cover page style is right only and the "first page" page style is also right only so the blank page is the verso of the cover page or verso of the last even page of a chapter.
Master document:
The cover page style is right only
The back cover is left only
Chapters:
- Top logo is anchored as character in a paragraph with style "New Chapter", that has a page break before with page style "First page".
- The First page style is right only,
- The copyright + TOC section has page style "Front matter"
- The first "Heading 1" of each chapter has a manual page break before with "Default page style".
If the blank page is to be removed/ignored, a checkbox must be unchecked in the PDF export dialog and the "First page" style has go back to "right and left", then chapters can start on the left page.
Please advise here.
2. Paragraph (Book = 1) added after copyright paragraphs.
This is control variable "book" in master document (and exported ODT file) that hides the copyright and TOC section (SEC_COPYRIGHT) of each individual chapter, so they are not displayed in the master document nor exported to PDF. We can hide this variable by just erasing this line (the variable will not be erased).
Note: Chapters don't have this variable, so its assumed 0 and chapter Copyright + TOC are displayed.
3. Space added before each chapter title on the chapter title page.
I don't follow you here.
4. What is the difference between the chapter template used to create the chapters and the template used for this version of the user guide. The formatting for the book is now incorrect. For example, Figure 5 should be on Page 20 below Figure 4. This is easy to fix, but the rest of the book has incorrect formatting. I think it is to do with spacing, but cannot find the problem at the moment.
The master document has the same template as the chapters except cover, back cover and the tweak on the First page.
I have fixed the list restart numbering and extra empty paragraphs in the chapters and rebuilt the documents in my local copy. Let me know if I have to upload them to the cloud.
Kind regards
Olivier
