Question

Static page in pageset with Styler/APP

Hi folks--



I'm trying to set something up using a page set where the content flow
only appears on the right hand pages, but I need static content to
appear on the left pages. When I try to set this up in Styler, it almost
works, except that it gives me a warning if I try to have a left page in
my page set that doesn't contain a "main content flow" region. If I add
a very small main content flow region (so it exists but is too small to
contain any actual content), I don't get the error, but the formatter
stops on that page and I don't get anything that comes after. The only
way I can get the document to format is to include some actual content
flow on each page (both right and left), which is not what I want.



What I want is something like this: with this content:



A, B, C



1, 2, 3



Do, Re, Mi



You and me





I want output to look something like this (where each "box" represents a
page):

    Thanks, Suzanne. I'm not sure if we'll be able to use this, but it's
    worth a closer look.

    Thanks, Gareth, but unfortunately I don't really know much about APP
    apart from its integration with Styler. So, most of what you're talking
    about here is more or less Greek to me. Still, it's nice to know that
    there are possibilities. We'll have to see if it looks like it's worth
    it for us to dig into the guts of APP and try something along these
    lines.



    I was really kind of hoping there would be a formatter-neutral way to do
    it just via Styler, but my optimism about that is waning...

    BTW: During this testing I found that a flowtext must have a depth of at least 10pt, which means you can't force a page model to be blank by setting its nomdepth to 0pt.

    No, to the best of my knowledge Styler's design does not allow what you are asking.
