Using GREP and a Script We have our play (A Midsummer Night's Dream) placed in InDesign, but we have some changes we want to make to the text. We don't want the character names on the same line as the first line of their speech. We don't want the character names all in uppercase letters. This screen cast shows some useful ways to use GREP in the Find/Change dialogue and then how to make use of a script to change to title case.

From InDesign to iBooks Author Recipe Book

Just for Apple iBooks When we place audio on the page of a fixed-layout eBook, we cannot expect it to contiunue to play when the page is turned. Simply, each page is a new XHTML document, so audio (or any media) will stop on leaving that page. If we want to get audio to continue to play as we turn the pages, we need to modify the markup inside the ePub package after we have exported from InDesign.

Part 2 of the 2 part screencast Now we have created seperate IDML files from InDesign we need to import these into an iBooks Author template.

This screencast is almost 30 minutes long.... sorry!
