DOING AP STOCKS FOR THE TOWN TALK

1. Check the "Shortcut to Live Data” folder for the number of files. There should be around 85.

2. Look for the New Stx folder.

3. Click on the “Local_Int_Stx” icon to launch InDesign.

4. Under the AP StocksPage menu at the top, select “Flow All.” Ignore any missing fonts messages. You may have to adjust the size of the text boxes to get all of the local stocks. Make sure to adjust the vertical rule, and to bring the “How to read the market in review” section either up or down, depending on the number of local stocks.

5. Go to File – Export. Click on desktop. Make sure you are saving as a PDF, and then give it a name, which we usually do as the four digit date followed by Local Stx. (Example: 0924 Local Stx). Then hit save. Then hit Export at the next window. Reply to any missing font window by clicking OK.

6. File should be saved to desktop as a PDF.

7. Close the file, making sure to NOT save it. (THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)

8. Go to File – Open and select “New Commodities” from the New Stx folder.

9. Under AP StocksPage menu, select “Flow All.” Ignore any missing fonts messages.

10. Go to File – Export. Click on desktop. Make sure you are saving as a PDF, and then give it a name, which we usually do as the four digit date followed by Commods. (Example: 0924 Commods). Then hit save. Then hit Export at the next window. Reply to any missing font window by clicking OK.

11. File should be saved to desktop as a PDF.

12. Close the file, making sure to NOT save it. (THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)

13. Go to the desktop. You should see both icons. Open the Shortcut to ANI-Temp folder, and drag both icons to the In folder.

14. The graphics should appear in the ANI-Temp objects basket within five minutes. Place on the page. The Commodities go in the lower-left hand corner, while the Local Stocks go on the right side of the page. If there is an ad, move the ad to above the local stocks and contact info box, and delete the Treasury bonds market info. If there is no ad, place the local stocks above the Treasury bonds market info.

Workflow for Town Talk’s Features pages

Monday: This is Home & Garden Day. Section is usually 4 pages, and usually starts on Page 5. Section is “B”

PAGE FRONT (5): Is an inside page, so you will have to place Features banner on page, which is located in the “Pages” tab under “Window” in InDesign. The banner is labeled “A-Features Banner.” A “Home&Garden” label is located in the FEA-LOGOS basket for this page. A gardening column runs on the left rail. Dan Gill’s “Get it Growing” column from the LSU AgCenter runs the majority of Mondays. Once a month we get a column from a local gardener named Lilly Rabalais. Both columnists’ mugs are saved as shapes. Two other stories for the front are usually wire.

On the bottom of the page is a strip called the “Good Morning.” It consists of a “Good Morning Cenla” photo w/ information; Today’s Birthday (Horoscope for the day) and a “Can you help?” graphic. This is saved as a shape. It goes above the gray bar.

Page 6: Is the advice columnists and games page. We run Billy Graham, Dear Abby, Dr. Donohue and Holiday Mathis horoscopes. We also have Goren Bridge, Jumble and Joseph Crossword. The other standing items are the Horoscope sign and the “Community Snapshot” feature. Community Snapshots are reader-submitted photos that run everyday. The advice page also has three 2x2 ads that run along the bottom of the page. The Advice columns template is saved a shape, so all you have to do is drag and drop edited columns onto their respective spaces. Community Snapshots are in DC5 labeled by date, i.e. “0905snapshot.” This is always a B&W page.

Page 7: Is the Comics page. The comics come as a whole page. (See instructions to download.) There is a strip house ad on the bottom of the page “Careerbuilder.” It is labeled “Comicsfill.” That is located in the FEA-LOGOS basket under “Objects” in JazBox. B&W comics, with strip ad, runs every day except Sunday.

Page 8: Is the back of the “B” section . I use this as the jump page. The one thing to add to this page is the Sheffer Crossword. Advertising leaves a hole for the crossword. And yes, this is a different crossword from the one on the advice page. It only runs in Features on Monday and Tuesday. It goes to the Classified section the rest of the week, so you only download these two days. (See info to download crossword.)

Tuesday: This is Health and Wellness Day. Section is usually 4 pages, and usually starts on Page 5. Section is “B”

Follow Monday’s list. All three stories for this page are usually wire and jump to the back page, depending on space. Will let you know if there is a local centerpiece for this page.

Wednesday: This is Food & Drink Day. Section usually runs 8 pages, including a double-truck ad on pages 4-5.

Regular section front. Local centerpiece is called “Today’s Special,” were we spotlight a local cook or chef at an area restaurant. Has a “Today’s Special” logo and “Know to go” pullout. “Beer Man” column runs in the left rail. Column mug saved as shape. Other story on front is wire. Good Morning strip on bottom of page.

Page 2: Jumps. Pet Corner goes here or Page 3 depending on space. Pet Corner is a snapshot of what pets are available for adoption at the local animal shelter. There’s also a label saved as a shape. This usually comes late Wednesday afternoon. I’ll try to get them to send it earlier.
