Add style to large block of text without affecting existing styles within this text

Hello! First post here.

I have a long text document which for the most part, has no attached text styles (it was a mistake). However, there are a large number of stylized breast text boxes.

Is there a way to select all of the text and apply a style to the text without style without affecting the existing styles?

Doing so by hand by text block text block would take a very long time.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

THX!

Ian

What do you mean by "text without style? There must be a definition, anyway.

Like others, [no paragraph Style] and [standard paragraph] are available, too.

    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.
     

     
     
  • Add points to the block of text, possible?

    Is it possible to add a point to a block of text with a script?

    Before:

    Sure. A text block is a geometric shape than any other; in InDesign, it is just a rectangle.

    All geometric shapes in InDesign consist of one or more paths - all have a property "paths" as a table. Each path contains a pathPoints array and is what you would use to add a corner.

    Because you can not really sure what is the lower right corner, this script does not immediately change the pathPoints. Rather, it copies the path, trying to find the corner (not sure if it is 'the way'), adds two points after that and these points moves to the Insert.

    myRect = app.selection[0];
    myPath = myRect.paths[0];
    myPathPoints = myPath.entirePath;
    // Determine lower right -- not sure if it's always the same!
    corner = 0;
    for (a=1; a myPathPoints[corner][0])
      corner = a;
     if (myPathPoints[a][1] > myPathPoints[corner][1])
      corner = a;
    }
    // Add two point 'after' corner
    // Use old corner point as model
    p1 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
    p2 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
    myPathPoints.splice (corner+1,0, p1, p2);
    // Move x of original corner point
    myPathPoints[corner][0] -= 5;
    // Move x and y of new angle point
    p1[0] -= 5;
    p1[1] -= 5;
    // Move y of back-to-frame point
    p2[1] -= 5;
    // Put modified path back into object
    myPath.entirePath = myPathPoints;
    
  • FlexPrintJob results impression of lack of large blocks of text

    Hi all

    I use FlexPrintJob to generate the output of a Flex application.  I am allowing the user to print the "thank you" to our application.  Here's the code that fires when the user clicks on the 'Print' button in my application:

    var printer:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
    printer.printAsBitmap = false;
    // Display the print dialog to the user.  If they choose a printer
    // and click "print", this method will return true, and we will
    // spool the job to the printer they selected. If they hit cancel,
    // this method will return false, and we will not attempt to send
    // anything to the printer.
    if(printer.start()){
         printer.addObject(itemsToPrintContainer);
         printer.send();
    }
    

    itemsToPrintContainer is the text quite heavy and contains all the information the user has entered so far, as well as some 'fine print' with permission from our legal department :-)  Depending on the options that the user selected and how much they typed, this will take place between 1.25 and a two pages of printing output (printing of 8.5 "x 11" paper with a 1 "top, bottom, and side margin").

    Something very strange is happening, however.  Only the first two-thirds of the text are printed.  All the text after that Miss, even if it is present in the view.  In addition, the horizontal rules between different blocks of text are present and are spaced appropriately.  For example, if there is a long block of text is missing, the space between the horizontal rules is exactly appropriate to adapt to this long block of text, even if it is not displayed.  Similarly, when there is some missing text blocks, the space between the horizontal rules should be to adapt to this block of text.

    Horizontal rules are a simple component, I created to draw a horizontal line.  Looks like this:

         <s:stroke>
              <s:SolidColorStroke color="{color}" weight="{weight}" alpha="{ruleAlpha}"/>
         </s:stroke>
    

    After a few experiences, I discovered what is printed has something to do with what is visible in the display window.  The object, I am trying to print is in a scrolling window, and print which is close to the same height which is visible in the display window.  If I resize the window to make the box smaller visible, the amount of text that prints becomes smaller.  However, what is not print exactly what is in the window - I'm sure it's related somehow, because the amount of visible text (measured vertically) is systematically related to the size of the viewport.  But it isn't exactly the same thing.  Sometimes there is something visible in the viewport on the screen that does not appear in the printed output, and vice versa.  But what print changes when you scroll the window down.

    Any suggestions?  How can I get to print the object itemsToPrintContainer together with all text, regardless of what is currently visible on the screen?

    Why would it need to be in a scroller at the time you send the print job?

    Flash is a deferred rendering engine.  You can manipulate the display list, present

    the page and restore the display list, and the user will not see it.

    Or clone the page somewhere, print and delete the clone.

  • InDesign: how tilt blocks of text without distorting the text?

    I want to put in place several large blocks of copy to these requirements:

    -the basic lines of the text are at an angle on the page

    -the left and right edges of the text block are shot-on horizontal (aligned with the guides in the screenshot below)

    -the block of text can be enlarged or reduced without changing the angle of the left and right edges

    -forms of the letters themselves are not distorted

    Skew1.gif

    This screenshot shows what I'm after.

    Skew2.gif

    This screenshot shows the real bounding box for the text block.

    Skew3.gif

    This screenshot shows how the angle of the text box changes when I change its size.

    I think Illustrator is a kind of function that allows you to "zero" (reset the transformations of a grid of 90 degrees) an object after it is transformed. Not finding anything like that in InDesign. And I find no way to set a custom angle constraint that would allow me to use the direct Selection (white arrow) tool to change the height or width with confidence.

    I'd appreciate some tips! Thank you for your attention.

    I do so with the example of shooting. Tilt works the same way.

    1. draw your rectangle, I applied a text frame reference grid (textframe options)

    2. with the Selection tool or the transform tool turn the frame in one direction, you can also do this with the entrance of the value in the transform Panel, what I would recommend.

    3. now, select the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and hold the ALT key and click on the frame. Now, only the frame is selected. Turn the other way, or insert the value in the transform Panel.

    I also have another method to offer:

    1. Draw the main frame with the text tool.
    2. Draw a small box above, it must be much smaller than the main frame.
    3. Turn the small frame in the direction that where you want to go the text.
    4. Select the two images.
    5. Go to the Pathfinder > Add.

    Now, you can add text or select a text based frame reference grid. He will do the same as above. May be simpler.

  • Apply to a Style object that defines the style of paragraph and 'paragraph style' to the text block with another block of text?

    I am trying to automate the application of styles in a brochure. Each image has a name, title, telephone, email, city... style paragraph.

    Can I apply an object style that instantly sets the styles of each paragraph. However if I have the linked text boxes, the style of the object does not seem to affect the block of text, or one of the text boxes. Is there a way to get around this?

    I just looked upward: this feature is limited to "simple, smooth text frames."

    I'm sorry.

  • Automatically add the blocks of text or pages

    Greetings,

    I would like to know if it is possible for InDesign (either automatically or by script) to add any columns or pages if the content exceeds the width/height of the text frame.

    overlaping text frame.png

    The content is imported via the import option in XML format. My layout is composed of 6 columns per page. When I import the xml into the gray text block, the framework grows in height that overlap the next block of text instead of "push," as I want it too. It is the same for the other blocks of text.

    Is it possible to automatically add text blocks to fit the content and/or the pages?

    That's what I mean, but you will need to click on a place that does not already have a block of text (a new page or an empty column) and autoflow will add as many pages as needed from there.

  • Blocks of text in Object Styles

    A text frame can be selected in the list of object Styles? When I select a text block, the gray out object styles. I do not understand why this is happening as I believe I created blocks of text before object styles...

    You select it with the text tool, or with one of the selection arrow tools? It will not work if you select it with the text tool.

  • Can't add placeholder text data merge for all blocks of text on the document

    I'm trying to put together a script that loops if all pages in an indesign file, search all text frames label caption1, caption2, caption3... (whenever you get to a new page, the number of text images label starts again from 1) and add a placeholder in the text data fusion: caption1, caption2, caption3... but this time, when you get to a new page the number continues to go... caption4, caption5 and so on.

    Page 1 - image text = caption1 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption1 > >

    Page 1 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption2 > >

    Page 1 - image text = caption3 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption3 > >

    page 2 - text = caption1 = image tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption4 > >

    page 2 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption5 > >

    Currently, the script is adding placeholder text merge data only for the two text frames first (out of 6) on a page (about 8 pages) and just the first image of text on the page two (out of 3)

  • Is it possible to add a context menu to the blocks of text?

    I try to add an element of context menu for text blocks, I'm kind of a begginner with Creative Suite Extension Builder, I found out how to add a context menu, but not how to add it based on what the user right click. If anyone can point me in the right direction (with a bit of the code example will help a lot), I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

    You're talking about adding a menu item to the "layout context Menu. Right? If you need the text context Menu, then it's simple...

    Here's what you need to do in this case: you need to fix a BEFORE_DISPLAY event on the menu and check what is the currently selected item. If it is a block of text, you add the menu item. If this isn't the case, you delete it. (You will obviously need to check if it is already there first...)

    Make sure you only to add and remove menu item and not the associated scriptMenuAction.

  • Removal of specific blocks of text without fill color

    I was wondering if someone might be able to tell me in simple in javascript to traverse the entire block of text in my document that are NOT filled with the following RGB values...

    fillColor.red = 11

    fillColor.green = 142

    fillColor.blue = 196

    Windows 7 64 bit, CS4

    I changed my concept to make it more dynamic for my purpose. I check to see if the fillColor typename is RGBColor or GrayColor. I'm removing everything GrayColor. Thought I'd share the code for the community to use as you wish. I hope this helps someone!

    var doc = app.activeDocument

    var doc.textFrames = allText.

    var readFillColor = [];

    for (i = 0; i

    {

    textItemsRange = .textRange [i] allText.
