In the paragraph style, how to insert the selection to the last paragraph symbol.
Please someone help me solve this problem.

Hello
I did the following:
var curDoc = app.activeDocument;

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat= "~a";
var allFounds = curDoc.findGrep();

for (var i = 0; i < allFounds.length; i++) {
  var curFound = allFounds[i];
  if (curFound.allGraphics.length > 0) {
    var pStyleName = curFound.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name;
    if (pStyleName == "paraStyle") {
      var rect = curFound.rectangles[0];

Color of the paragraph Styles is not overridden CS5.5.
 
			 
I have some documents and I have a few Styles to paragraph (PStyles) I load in the latest documents.
I have some who are in fact PStyles within a Table. 2 small problems; I can live with the first:
It does not actually load the PStyle formatted correctly;
Once I have format the PStyle as I want, the PStyle coloring does not replace the text that I assign. For example I have orange text, I then choose PStyle 1 (orange), the font is changed to the correct font type but the color does not change.
It is certainly a fault?
			 
Make sure that all of the text in the paragraph of style [none] has also defined as the style of his character. You could have a paragraph style with the filling of text defined on orange and a character style with a black fill applied to all the words in the paragraph. In this case, the text would be black.
Alternatively, you can substitute the paragraph styles. If this is the case when the text is selected, a + sign appears in the paragraph Styles Panel, next to the name of the style.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Where is the paragraph style tools in Indesign CC2014?
 
			 
Hello! I just started to use IDs through creative cloud on a new computer (using CC CS6 for two years), and the installer gave me rather than CS6 CC2014. So it is a question only on CC2014.
Where is the window paragraph styles? Specifically, how can I edit, create and organize the paragraph styles, and how do I get a window up on the main screen with all stated styles? All these things were easy to find in CS6, but I can't find them in CC2014. The only thing I get (and with a bit of customization). is a drop-down list on the main toolbar, which allows me to choose from among the existing options on an existing document.
There is no option of paragraph Windows Styles > Styles.
There is no option under Type of paragraph Styles.
The only paragraph window that appears is designed for text editing as you go along, don't not to apply styles.
Using the options all point me back them to the entrance for CS6 and tell me to go to Type > paragraph Styles (which does not exist).
I can't get a window up on the main screen to instantly apply styles in a list. I only get this drop, which has no other options.
Can someone tell me some updated guidance or explain where all paragraph options are and how do I use them? If not, can I go back to CS6? It was easy and intuitive on the front, and now it's not...
Thank you!
			 
Nothing has changed on the styles. It's exactly the same thing as CS6. Perhaps you need to restore your preferences.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Modify the paragraph Style Export Options of marking
 
			 
I'm having a devil of a time trying to get the "Split Document (EPUB only)" box checked for certain styles. I was hoping a perhaps experienced scripter be able to help me solve what I am sure is an easy solution.
Below is my code snippet:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var par_styles = doc.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .getElements ();
for (var i = 0; i < par_styles.length; i ++) {}
par_styles [i].styleExportTagMap.splitDocument = true;
};
In this example, I would get the Document Split box ticked for each paragraph style in my document. However, apparently the paragraph style does not support the class 'styleExportTagMap', which is the only place where I found that the property 'splitDocument' lives.
I guess that my ignorance is not knowing exactly what made the class styleExportTagMap (s).
Could someone point me in the right direction?
			 
Looks like a hack, but it works.
var
    doc = app.activeDocument,
    par_styles = doc.allParagraphStyles,
    i = 0;

for ( i ; i < par_styles.length; i++ ) {
    par_styles [ i ].styleExportTagMaps.add ( "", "", "", "" ).splitDocument = true;
}

Hope that helps.

How to change the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only one anchored object?
 
			 
Hello
I have a document in word that should be converted in indesign. The document contains instructions, each step followed by an image.
I managed to import the document into Indesign and applied a paragraph with numbering style to everything (text, image).
Now, how do I change the the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only an image? I need to get rid of the numbering.
Thanks in advance.
			 
If the images are all anchored objects, you can use find/replace to find the anchor point and change the paragraph style only once for all paragraphs.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Apply the Master Page by using the paragraph Style
 
			 
Hi all
I am a beginner in the script. Learn the script through tutorials cs3 scripts.
According to the paragraph style it automatically applies the master page.
For example:
Paragraph style = "CT".      To apply the Master Page = 'A-Master '.
Paragraph style = "PT";       To apply the Master Page = "B-Master".
These are the lines I'm working on:
myDocument var = app.activeDocument;
var myPStyles = myDocument.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .getElements ();
myPage var = myDocument.pages.everyItem () .getElements ();
for (i = 0; i < myPStyles.length; i ++)
{
If (myPStyles [i] .appliedParagraphStyle is "CT")
{
.appliedMaster myPStyles [i] = 'A-master. "
}
}
Where I have error. Can someone help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance engineering...
			 
Try this one,
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myParas = myDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
var myPage = myDocument.pages;
for(i=0; i
Good luck...
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Insert a blank space in the paragraph style?
 
			 
Is it possible to integrate a white space inserted (en character) in a paragraph style?
I created a paragraph to chapter headings style. Chapter and number are centered horizontally on the page with a thick end line (key) on each side - a little like that, except that I use the dashboard to create the line in this example:
-------------------------------------  Chapter 2  ------------------------------------
Inserted white spaces before and after 'Chapter 2'.  However, when I try to apply the paragraph style to another title, the spaces are not there.
(Line thin thickness was created as text underscore and the offset is vertically centered with the text.  It would make a difference if I created the thick end line in the form of a graph?)
Oh and I also tried to create an object style, but it does not recognize spaces, either.  I know that something will work, but little by little learning has not met yet the solution.
Thank you.
			 
Do it like this:
1 make the high line a paragraph above net. Assign the 'Column' width (full) and set its vertical offset in right position.
2. Add a paragraph below NET. Together, this upright even shifted, but makes a little (or a lot) more thick. Set its color [Book]. Set the width of 'Text', not 'column '. Then set the negative value of the width approx. white space you want on the left and right - something like 'mm-2' the left indent and right.
3. you're done!
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Script will not apply the paragraph style
 
			 
Hello
I'm new to scripting in InDesign (CS3), and I'm trying to understand why the scipt below does not apply a style in the following text file? :
< ASCII-WIN >
< ParaStyle: Heading 1 > who are we? < ParaStyle >:
For ease of reading, I have shortend the text file to just two lines.
The script that I use to open and to format the text file is:
Create a new document.
myDocument var = app.documents.add ();
Set the units of measure and the origin of the rule.
myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
Get a reference to the first master spread.
var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);
Get a reference to preferences on the margins of the first page in the Master spread.
var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0) .marginPreferences;
Now set up the page margins and columns.
myMarginPreferences.left = 4;
myMarginPreferences.top = 70;
myMarginPreferences.right = 70;
myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;
myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 2;
myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;
The margins of page and columns for the right-hand page.
var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1) .marginPreferences;
myMarginPreferences.left = 48;
myMarginPreferences.top = 70;
myMarginPreferences.right = 70;
myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;
myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 3;
myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;
Adding Master Page items
var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);
var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);
var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);
var myLeftFooter = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();
myLeftFooter.geometricBounds = [70, 742, 728, 528];
myLeftFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;
myLeftFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;
myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;
myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;
var myRightFooter = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();
myRightFooter.geometricBounds = [48, 742, 728, 542];
myRightFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;
myRightFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;
myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;
myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;
myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .justification = Justification.rightAlign;
Adding master text frames
var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);
var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);
var myLeftTextFrame = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();
myLeftTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 70, 714, 528];
myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;
myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;
myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;
Add a label to make the image easier to find later.
myLeftTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";
var myRightTextFrame = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();
myRightTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 48, 714, 542];
myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;
myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;
myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;
Add a label to make the image easier to find later.
myRightTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";
Link the two frames using the nextTextFrame property.
myLeftTextFrame.nextTextFrame = myRightTextFrame;
The substitution of Master Page points and adds text
var myTextFrame = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0).pages.item (1).textFrames.item (0) .override (myDocument.pag es.item (0));
Add text by setting the contents of the insertion of a string.
In JavaScript, "\r" is a return character.
.silence myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item (0) = "dok\r";
Adding and applying a paragraph Style
var myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("title 1");
try {}
 var myName = myParagraphStyle.name;
}
{} catch (MonErreur)
 //The style of paragraph don't have not exist, so create it.
 myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add ({name: 'Title 1'});
}
We need to create a color. Check if the color already exists.
myColor var = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");
try {}
 myName = myColor.name;
}
{} catch (MonErreur)
 //The color have not exist, so create it.
 myColor = myDocument.colors.add ({name: 'Green', model: ColorModel.process, colorValue:[100,0,100,0]});})
}
Now set the formatting of the paragraph style.
myParagraphStyle.appliedFont = "Arial";
myParagraphStyle.fontStyle = "Bold";
myParagraphStyle.pointSize = 24;
myParagraphStyle.spaceAfter = 24;
myParagraphStyle.spaceBefore = 24;
myParagraphStyle.fillColor = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");
Apply the style to the paragraph.
myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphStyle (myParag raphStyle, true);
You can also use:
myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .appliedParagraphStyle = //myParagraphStyle;
Import a text file
Display a standard dialog box open the file to select a text file.
var monFichierTexte is File.openDialog ("choose a text file");.
If you selected a text file, and if you didn't press Cancel,
Place the file of text on the first insertion point after the title.
If ((monFichierTexte! = "") & & (monFichierTexte!) (= null)) {}
 myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1).place (myTextFile);
}
Place a graphic
Display a standard dialog box open the file to select a graphic file.
var myGraphicFile is File.openDialog ("choose a graphic file");.
If you have selected a graphics file, and if you didn't press Cancel,
Place the graphic file on the page.
If ((myGraphicFile! = "") & & (myGraphicFile!) (= null)) {}
 var myGraphic = myDocument.pages.item (0) .place (myGraphicFile);
 //Since you can place multiple graphics at once, the place method
 //returns a table. For the graph you have placed, get the first
 //item in the table (beginning of JavaScript arrays with element 0).
 myGraphic = myGraphic [0];
 //Create a style object to apply to the graphic image.
 var myObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.item("GraphicFrame");
 try {
 var myName = myObjectStyle.name;
 }
 catch (MonErreur) {}
 //The an object style have not exist, so create it.
 myObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.add({name:"GraphicFrame"});)
 }
 myObjectStyle.enableStroke = true;
 myObjectStyle.strokeWeight = 3;
 myObjectStyle.strokeType = myDocument.strokeStyles.item("Solid");
 myObjectStyle.strokeColor = myDocument.colors.item("Green");
 //The frame containing the graphic is the parent of the graphic.
 myFrame var = myGraphic.parent;
 myFrame.applyObjectStyle (myObjectStyle, true);
 //Resize the frame to a specific size.
 myFrame.geometricBounds = [0,0,600,600];
 //Fit the graph in the image proportionally.
 myFrame.fit (FitOptions.proportionally);
 / / Next, mount the frame to the resized image.
 myFrame.fit (FitOptions.frameToContent);
 var myBounds = myFrame.geometricBounds;
 var myGraphicWidth = myBounds [3] - myBounds [1];
 //Move the graphic frame.
 var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
 var myTopMargin = myDocument.pages.item (0).marginPreferences.top;
 myFrame.move ([myPageWidth-myGraphicWidth, myTopMargin]);
 //Apply a wrap to the graphic frame.
 myFrame.textWrapPreferences.textWrapType = TextWrapTypes.boundingBoxTextWrap;
 myFrame.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [12, 24, 12, 24].
}
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, Ron.
The problem has nothing to do with your script. You can see if you attempt to place the file from indesign tagged text by hand.
Your instinct for divide and conquer for debugging is a good - have a short text file to work with is very useful - of course this is also true for the script.
During the validation of the scripts on the forum, please do not use the syntax insert > feature Java which lies behind the > arrow in the toolbar. Otherwise, cut and paste your script are difficult requiring manual corrections.
Anyway, your problem is that each paragraph can have only a single paragraph style, and it's the last one that you define.
So in your IDTT file, you set the heading 1 paragraph style, enter the content of the paragraph and then set the style of paragraph votes to zero.
If you have included a line break before setting the style of paragraph votes to zero, you must set the None style for the following paragraph. But since you have not, it resets just the style to the current paragraph.
In short: success back before .
