• How to apply a character Style that has already been made in a document model?

  First of all, I would like to thank everyone who helps. I am a complete newbie to the script and appreciate your help.

  I mainly use GREP expressions to search for patterns in a document and apply a character Style that has already been done. This character style did not help script, but just in InDesign when the production and implementation of the model.

  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  
  
  //Clear the find/change grep preferences.
  app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  
  //Set the find options.
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
  
  //GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+\n";
  
  //Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
  app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
  app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
  app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
  myDoc.changeGrep();
  
  //Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
  app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  

  This is how I currently. I will manually define the changes made to the text. The problem is, each model uses a different set of fonts and not all use them "BOLD", for example Sabon can use THIS "BOLD".

  I would like to know how to apply a character Style and tried to look, but nothing seems to work.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• I'm looking for links Hypertext in find/replace the dialogue (without applying a character style).

  I have 7000 hyperlinks in my document, with different character styles ("italic", "bold" and "italic +"BOLD""). I need to apply the blue color to each of them. If I ask a new character style "hyperlink" to all, I'll lose my formatting.

  Is there a way to find hyperlinks (for themselves, not their format) dialog find/replace in order to create and apply 4 different character styles ('hyperlink_regular', 'hyperlink_bold', 'hyperlink_italic' and ' hyperlink_bold + italic")?

  Sorry for my English, thanks for the help!

  You can use this Javascript, for example. (Instructions on how to use a JavaScript in InDesign can be found elsewhere).

• retention of the words italic when you apply the paragraph style

  When you place text in InDesign, I want to apply a paragraph style, but keep some (foreign) words in italics without having to search for each word and apply the italic character style. Texts are long and not originated by myself.

  The most recommended book for beginners here on the forum is Visual QuickStart of Sandee Cohen for InDesign. The 'bible' in my opinion, for very advanced users is Real World InDesign.

• 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;

  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 .

• Apply the paragraph style instead of runned text simply by clicking on the text box

  I'm changing the style of the text entity. Is there another way to change it to select all the text, and then set the style?

  

  IT is threaded text block (not a box!) you have to select all the blocks of text at a time in the thread (which is impossible if they are on different spreads) or you must select all of the text to apply a style.

  If the text block is not passed, you can select and apply the text.

  I do not see a problem to select all the text. Use the text tool, click in the text and the cmd/ctrl + A and apply the style. Not a problem, not a lot of work.

  A box is something like BleedBox, CropBox or something like that. Objects in InDesign are still frames or paths.

• Apply the paragraph using Enter/Return style works only on empty paragraphs

  The InDesign CS4 document, I'm working on that has paragraph styles based on other paragraph styles. For example, the following chapter for BodyFirst style is body. Hit Enter/Return after typing a BodyFirst applies in subsection empty body, no problem.

  However, I sometimes already existing text that needs to be reformatted. For example, BodyFirst may be followed by Heading1, but Heading1 must be changed in body.

  I'm used to FrameMaker, where you can go back the Heading1 paragraph so that BodyFirst and Heading1 are in the same paragraph and then press enter/return to change quickly the correct paragraph style Heading1, body style. However, InDesign repeat the last style when I press enter/return, so that in this example, I find myself with followed BodyFirst of another BodyFirst.

  Is it possible to change this so that the following paragraph style is correct by hitting enter/return by using already existing text?

  Select the paragraphs, and then right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) on the name of the paragraph style in the paragraph Styles Panel. It should give you the possibility of style "of paragraph 1 ', then the following Style.

• How can I apply a character style to a sentence that has a '&amp;' in there?

  Hi all

  I am applying the "See Figure" character style to any mention of the expression (see Figure x) as I understand is: \(See Figure \d+\)

  The problem I face is that sometimes I need to list several references to figure. He must read (see Figure x & y) and in rare cases (see Figure x, y and z)

  NOTE: There are no spaces in the above numbers.

• apply a character style

  I received help week last with a script to find the empty cells in a table, put a space in empty cells and apply a paragraph style to the cell. Now I would like to help with application of a "None" character style to the space in the cell. Here's the script that made me initially:

  for (a = 0; a < app.selection [0].parent.parent.cells.length; a ++)
  {
  If (app.selection [0].parent.parent.cells [a].contents.length == 0)
  {
  App.Selection [0].parent.parent.Cells [a] .silence = "";
  App.Selection [0].parent.parent.Cells [a] .paragraphs [0] .appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("empty cell");
  
  }
  }

  If you have a selected cell, will apply as follows the tank style 'None' (not the same as [none]) in the first paragraph of the cell.

  App.Selection [0] .paragraphs [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("None");

  I suppose that him below will do what you want, but I think that using a nested style would be easier.

  for (a = 0;
  {
  If (app.selection [0].parent.parent.cells [a].contents.length == 0)
  {
  App.Selection [0].parent.parent.Cells [a] .silence = "";
  App.Selection [0].parent.parent.Cells [a] .paragraphs [0] .appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("empty cell");

  App.Selection [0].parent.parent.Cells [a] .paragraphs [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("None");

  }

• keyboard shortcut to apply the paragraph tag

  I am experienced with FrameMaker 8, but just to start getting used to FrameMaker 9. A keyboard shortcut that I use constantly in FrameMaker 8 is Ctrl-9, type the first letter of the paragraph tag, and then press ENTER. If there is more than one, starting with the same letter, I keep just hitting this letter until it appears the tag I want. For example if there is a title 1 and a Title2, I type 'h' twice to get Title2. With FrameMaker 9, it seems that I have to type the whole word "Title2" before hitting entry.

  Frustrating when shortcuts favorites are messy. Is it possible to recover my old shortcut? Is there a quick way to apply paragraph tags in FrameMaker 9?

  Type down arrow after selecting the first of similar format names. For example, Ctrl + H 9 DnArrow moves to Title2, or whatever the second format that begins with "H".

  Consider using format names that have less of the same main characters. For example:

  Title 1 H 1

  2 H Title2

  1N Numbered1

  Numbered N

  1 typo displays 1 H Heading1; DnArrow moves to 1N Numbered1.

  Some people separate the abbreviation of the full name with an underscore instead of a space; i. e., 1H_Heading1, instead of 1 H Heading1.

  HTH

• ID CC 2015 crashes as soon as I (try to) apply the paragraph style to the text.

  I work on a Mac Pro (mid-2009), OS X 10.10.4, 16 GB of RAM

  Original hard drive is 1 TB (where applications are installed), second drive (designated as working drive, and where all the work files are housed) is 2 TB.

  Currently subscribe to Adobe CC 2015, using InDesign with last update

  I have been working for several days on a long paper (paper) and have developed 12 paragraph styles, using two fonts - Garamond first Pro and Helvetica Neue LT and the document has facing pages.

  Yesterday, my client (the author) has asked all text flow on the odd pages, for illustrations on all pages, so I did all the text boxes thread directly downward of pages on the right (odd pages).

  The first three chapters were style before I changed the threading of text box. Now, when I open the document and begin to apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the text (nine more chapters, which automatically adopted the style of main text as soon as I stuck in the newly-threaded text boxes), ID crashes when I highlighted a section of text and click a paragraph style.

  I checked the permissions and preferences. The only thing I can think is from the document from scratch.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thread the text boxes only on odd pages cause the problem, since it does not have facing pages?

  Thank you.

  There could be corruption in the document.

• How to apply the paragraph style to all paragraphs

  Hi people,

  Simple question. New to JS script here (but so far love it).

  I am trying to apply a paragraph (myTextStyle) style to all paragraphs in a story.

  Right now, I set it up as follows:

  tabletDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item ("story").paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphSty (myTextStyle, true);

  Obviously, it's just the first paragraph - item (0)-, but no changes to the code it throws.

  Can I implement something to it or a beach (first to last), so it will apply to all of them?

  Thanks in advance!

  Just set the property .appliedParagraphStyle on the whole story.

• Apply the paragraph style to a glyph and not the glyph displayed?

  I have a large Word document I have to mark up with different paragraph styles. Fortunately the data contains different glyphs for specific text strings, and so I might have the styles of paragraph kick in when he meets the glyph. But ultimately, I need to remove the glyphs when I go to print, and therefore the style will be deleted also.

  I wonder if it is possible to change the glyph to some kind og hidden state. I could mess with the x position of the text string, but I'm not not to keen on this solution. Someone has an idea?

  You must use 'GREP', not 'text', in the Find/Replace window!
