Master Page Nightmare!

i'm working on document @ moment , has 100 master pages.

 

the person worked on before setup page headers wrong in each of master pages, different headers verso , different recto, changed header text change when required, however, leaving master spread 2 different headings, if page moves recto verso or vice versa, wrong header applied.

 

well.. that's story behind it.

 

what wanted colour code master pages - however, there's limited amount of colours available. wanted see visually master page used in pages panel assigning colour.

 

does know of way have more colours available apply - or script can tell me master pages applied pages?

hi eugene,

depending on version of indesign using script use arbitrary custom rgb colors colour code page.

** warning **

before indesign cc 2014.2 such script force document instable state, if color labeled page can seen in pages panel:
indesign crash! that's bug fixed indesign cc 2014.2.

 

so handle care:

 

// example in extendscript: // color label pages of master spreads valid rgb value.  // check version number. if less 10.2 (indesign cc 2014.2) nothing! // if lines below executed cc 2014.1 , below indesign crash after opening pages panel. if(parsefloat(app.version)<10.2){exit()};  var pagecolorlabelcolor = [255,255,0]; // rgb values in form: [r,g,b] app.documents[0].masterspreads.everyitem().pages.everyitem().pagecolor = pagecolorlabelcolor; 

 

and if working indesign cc 2014.2 , above, keep in mind not save document ran script at!

 

regards,
uwe
