A Flex object behaves very much like a group (you can see that in the Layers panel). So it can span a spread, that's about it. ... View more

You're after a type fitter. You can't use an object style for that, you'll have to apply point size and/or leading and/or whatever else can reasonably reduce the space that some block of text takes.   Take a look at https://typefitter.com/, it's a popular plug-in for fitting type. ... View more

You can search for blocks of text in a certain paragraph style, but you can't apply an object style to that block. Object styles can be applied to frames only. So you'd have to take out those blocks one by one and apply the object style to each of them.   What are you trying to achieve? ... View more

Footnotes and endnotes are entirely different text streams so you can't combine InDesign's foot- and endnotes in a single stream. But you can have the endnote story running in margins, and where necessary you can fake one or more footnotes by adding a text frame at the foot of the page and threading it into the endnote story.   But this is more an editorial problem than a technical one. In my experience, when an author needs that much material in notes, they are asked by the publisher to rewrite the text to incorporate those notes into the text. (Apart from some legal texts, which have can have footnotes that go on for pages; but they typically don't do margin notes and they don't have to have the footnote reference on the same page as the note.)   P. ...

Hi Ivana. The sidenotes are anchored frames so they can't split across pages and they must appear on the page where they're anchored. In situations such as yours, maybe a better approach is to convert the footnotes to endnotes, then run the endnote story on the document pages in the margins. I'm not aware of any scripts that can do that.   P. ... View more

Makes perfect sense. Two ways to deal with added figures: either use Barb's method of threading frames, so that you can later add a frame somewhere in the thread. Or use the method I described on the linked web page -- either manually or using the script. ... View more

Jean-Marc's comment needs one small addition: numbering is chronological on pages, but across pages it is correct. That makes fixing the numbering a bit easier.   Barb's suggestion works fine if you can thread the frames that contain the numbered paragraphs. But if you can't (or don't want to, because adding a frame somewhere can be a hassle), then you can use this script to fix the numbering: https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/paragraph-numbering-fix.html   Before you use it, save and store your documents in a safe place to be on the safe side. I've used the script in one text only so far, and it works well in there, but be careful.   P. ... View more

@Eugene Tyson  You can try something along these lines. Once you've copied a page item to a new document: d = app.activeDocument; frame = d.pages[0].pageItems[0]; gb = frame.geometricBounds; d.pages[0].marginPreferences.properties = { top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0 }; d.documentPreferences.pageWidth = gb[3]-gb[1]; d.documentPreferences.pageHeight = gb[2]-gb[0]; d.zeroPoint = [0,0]; frame.move([0,0]);   ...

Willi's idea works well and is the way to go for occasional use. But if there are many ads on a page, and/or there are many pages with ads, and/or you need to do this every week or month, then a script should be able to do this for you. It would find all adds on a page, then place a mask on all frames, then unmask a frame in turn and export the page. It depends a bit on whether ads can be found unambiguously. A sample document would show if it's feasible. ... View more
