Good evening everyone, I’m looking for some guidance on a specific InDesign feature (hoping it actually exists…).
I’m wondering whether there are plug-ins or scripts capable of automatically handling the layout of a book. Let’s imagine we have a text file (typically a Word document) that already uses specific style sheets (title, subtitle, chapter text, etc.), and we import it into InDesign. I place it into a predefined layout template, and I would like the text to flow through the document while automatically generating and applying the appropriate master pages as needed.
In other words, when InDesign is laying out the main body text of the novel, it should use Master A, but whenever it encounters the paragraph style “Chapter Title,” it should understand that it needs to insert a Master B page (a master designed for the beginning of a new chapter), and apply that page type instead.
Is there any feature that works like this?
I hope my explanation was clear enough.
Thank you!
