Question

Problems with text boxes in a document

Hello everyone

I'm working in Indesign with the BOOK function (there are four Indesign documents). Due to some mistake that I think I have made, there are three books that have almost all the pages with the main text box larger than the others, to resolve this I am readjusting the pages manually. Is there any procedure to automate this?

Greetings

The automation of using InDesign book files is when you have established features between chapters consistently between the documents—using styles, parent pages, etc.

 

Here's the InDesign Help file which describes the process of synchronizine book documents:

Jump to the heading "Synchronize Book Documents"

 

If you haven't set up documents with that kind of structure, you'll have to do it manually.

Thanks for your attention. It seems I didn't explain myself well.
What I needed (and need in case it happens again) is how I can change the size of the text box on one page and replicate the action on the other pages of the document without having to do it manually on each page of the document.

I really thought about carrying out the synchronization process selecting the one I had changed as a guide, but to my surprise, the icon appeared in the BOOK panel indicating that I had changed the document outside the book, I just opened each document and in each one the problem had already been fixed. problem with the text boxes, the synchronization was done automatically. Anyway, although I didn't understand the process well, it is already resolved. The process has been very complicated because it involves joining four books laid out by different people, so I had to make the template taking styles and characteristics from all the books.

I'm glad you figured it out. Thanks for explaining further.
