I've acquired the task at my new job of redesigning parts lists and operators manuals. i'm somewhat knowledgeable in indesign you could say more than the average person. (i'm learning more and more everyday). But on to my question as stated above. Is it possible???
I've made templates for the manuals i'm creating but i always find myself changing a design aspect on a page or two and trying to keep all the documents looking nice and uniform i have to open each one up and make the same changes to match. Well as i get more and more manuals to redo, opening and making changes to all these documents gets a little daunting and monotonous. Now as long as i have like say my back cover page for example that does not change at all from document to document, is there a way to link it to all of the other back covers so that if i change something on one it changes all the back covers for all the linked documents?
Also i may be getting ahead of myself but i have a few pages where all that differes is like a few words (i like to think of them as variables) such as the name of the product the manual is for. If its possible to link pages would it be possible to tell ID to "ignore" a peice of text say inbetween two character sets? IE: "this is the best" (variable) "in the world".
I may just be dreaming but if theres any function or tool to do this that anyone knows of (or even a script someone has made) please feel free to share it with me! Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Thanks for your time!
