Question

Book files: can we update pagination for only -some- documents?

As I'm working on a pretty long document, I don't want to re-paginate the whole thing every time I make an update.

 

However, for example, if I'm adding or removing pages somewhere, or forcing a right-hand page start for a certain Style, and want to check how the next section begins, I'd like to be able to update just a few documents within the Book.

Is there a way to do this?

 

thanks!

Have you disabled auto update in your book settings?

Yes - but I'm not referring to auto-update... rather, the ability only to update select documents.

Since a document's pagination is dependent the previous document, I don't see how you can manually control it--unless you want a chance to add pages to the preceding documents as needed. Why don't manually edit the start page number on a per-document basis rather than leaving it at automatic?
