When I export my novel as a PDF, the spreads get a black border, although there is no such element on any of my pages. What causes this and how do I get rid of it? I can't send it to a printer like this! This image shows how the bottom of a right page, and the top of a left page, look. https://imgur.com/a/BjVTDKV I've tried various export settings, always the same. Edit: Uh, the white background in my master page has a black frame, that's it. Can't delete this post, sorry.

So should I use grey8/D50 document settings, and export to CMYK/FOGRA29, or vice versa? How do you get this Output Preview window? I can't find it anywhere.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I was asked to use CMYK colour format and Uncoated FOGRA29 colour profile though, so I probably shouldn't change that to Gray/8 and D50. All I want is for my handful of images to use only K, no CMY. Is there no way to achieve that? Surely novel formatting must be a common application of Publisher.

I'm finishing the formatting of my novel. The book is all text, except for 4 images. The printer wants me to use K only. Some questions. 1) Can I trust that all my text is 100% K and K only, since it is black? If not, what do I do to make sure it is 100% K and K only? 2) I've made the images grayscale only before copy/pasting them to Publisher. I thought that was that, but I noticed a "K only" button when I selected an image. When I clicked it, the greys in the image just disappeared. That's not the idea of course, the greys should be lower % of K. I don't know if there is any CMY. How can I check this? How can I make my images 100% K inside Publisher without losing the greys? 3) One of my images is in Publisher as a "Pixel" object. I don't see how or why it's different from an image. This object doesn't have the "K only" button. Any idea why? Thanks in advance!

The Shift-click instead of just click is what I didn't know; that solves my problem entirely Thanks!

Hi, So I've laid out 5 chapters of a novel, got about 30 chapters to go. Each time I add a chapter, I add 20 new pages or so, using my master A page which consists of 2 connected text frames on the facing pages. When I paste a whole chapter in the first new page, it only fills out the text frames on that spread, and I have to connect the right page of each spread to the left page of the next spread manually until the end of the chapter. How do I get all the new pages connected automatically, so I don't have to do this each time?

But how do I make new styles appear as options for Initial words then? Ah wait it just shows all character styles, right? Doh!

Hi, The help for Publisher says "select a style from the pop-up menu or click New to create a new style using the pop-up menu". I don't see where I need to click to create a new style; I can only select one of the three styles Strong, Emphasis or Strong Emphasis.
