  WTH?  I have a gap in the text that I can't fill.  There is no hidden formatting that I can find, and I apply a paragraph style to text.

  I'm not well-versed in indesign, but what I've discovered, is that the box around the page number on the master was wrapping text, which was originally my text to break around her at the center bottom of the pages.  Problem solved, and amiellemiel is right.

• Why apply a paragraph style let substitutions sometimes? How to prevent this?

  Sometimes when I apply a paragraph of a text style he chooses replace some attributes, making me have click on the button "ignore substitutions" constantly. If I tell indesign to apply a paragraph style why it assumes that my intention was not to implement also the font weight or other random attributes? I can't seem to find the reason for it or how to prevent it, your time and cause errors of formatting if I missed something. Any ideas? No style of characters used in the document.

  Thank you!

  If you want to remove manual replacements you must hold down the ALT key when you apply the style.

  And for the local formatting, you must use character styles.

• Default fonts to 50 points when you apply a paragraph style

  I ran into this many times.  To update a file, InDesign from a previous version (now using CS5) when I apply a paragraph style, the default font is 50 points no matter the style settings.  Is it possible to avoid this.  Currently, I copy and paste the chart into a new file and have to set the text.  If I copy some old text, it causes the same problem.

  Most of our text is copied and pasted from Microsoft Word (old version and new text changes), however, the text that was already in the document and the new text both do the same thing when a style is applied.

  CS5

  Win 7 Pro 64-bit

  Your styles are based on standard paragraph, or is it an applied character style? If so, check to see if any of them have 50 as the size.

• Two styles of a calculated text box text

  Let's say you have 1 text box, text box 2 and 3 box of text on a form.

  In text box 3, you have a calculation script so it shows everything that is typed in 1 box of text and text box 2.

  Too can you have in the script text box 3, a way to display the text box in a certain style 1 and 2 text box in a style different? So basically two styles of text in a calculated text box?

  Thank you

  I was curious enough to try it myself.

  She is due the higher level of several nodes in the XML document that I suspect would be a problem. I also like the error:

  XML parsing error: junk after document element (error code 9), line 8, column 2 of the file

  The bottom worked for me to mix the two together. What may seem odd, is that if you think it will copy the formats defined at design time, it won't. It's as if the design time format is the default value for the field and the XML does not contain this format. If I choose the part of one of the fields, right-click and change the formatting of the text, which will be copied. If your intention was to copy the format of design time, you probably better to build the XML string yourself and insert the CSS format. Pull the top of the JavaScript console and review the XML code to get a starting point.

  var richText = TextField1.value.exData.saveXML ();

  var richText2 = TextField2.value.exData.saveXML ();

  Console.println (richText);

  Console.println (richText2);

  crude way to mix the two XML docs in a single

  var richText3 = richText.substring (0, richText.indexOf ("", richText2.indexOf (")"))

  Console.println (richText3);

  TextField3.value.exData.loadXML (richText3, 1, 1);

• Automatically apply "next paragraph Style...". "in place of the text

  I want to import an Excel (arrow) line 8 500 spreadsheet into InDesign and have it add the necessary number of pages and text related frameworks can flow text AND format her, lines spare in 1 2 paragraph styles. I can do everything until it automatically formatting the text. Paragraph Styles are set up for "Style of next paragraph...". "but it doesn't seem to work on the text. Can anyone help?

  I don't know if this can be done with a table, which is probably what you get from placing your excel file. A table Style might work.

  If you convert a table to text, however, you can select all, right-click on the name of the first style that you need in the paragraph styles Panel, and then choose apply and following style.

• Apply a paragraph style for the XML elements that have a specific attribute

  (1) I am an almost complete noob when it comes to XML

  (2) I have a XML with a ssstructure like this:

       <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
       <list type="disk">
            <listitem>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>

            <listitem>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>

                 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
            </listitem>
       </list>
  </chapter>
  

  Is there an easyer (except the xmlElements) way to find all the lists and apply the appropriate paragraph style (I have a definition of 'list_with_disk' and a 'list_with_square' one)?

  Hi Vamitul,

  Please try the JS code below.

  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  //____________________ disk bullet style apply
  try{
      var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
      var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='disk']//paragraph");
      for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
          var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
          myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Disk");
          }
      }catch(e){}
  //_______________________________________________________________________________
  
  //____________________ Squar bullet style apply
  try{
      var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
      var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='square']//paragraph");
      for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
          var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
          myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Square");
          }
      }catch(e){}

• Can I have a paragraph style begins with a text variable?

  Don't know if this is possible, but here's what I would do: I work on a catalogue of the tooling and at the end of each product description is a paragraph that begins with APPLICATIONS: and lists of what the tool can be used on.  I created a style of separate paragraph for this that includes a nested style so that the word is "BOLD".  What I was wondering is if there is automatically a way to have the word ' APPLICATIONS: ' appear when this paragraph style is applied.  A bit like a text variable.  I hope this makes sense.  I use CS4, by the way.

  Thank you

  Give the paragraph style, the property numbered list and instead to use placeholders numberic, type in "APPLICATIONS:"precede the paragraph you want.» Google search for "indesign tutorial of numbered list" and similar phrases without quotation marks for more details.

• How to make a one column instead of two text box?

  I inherited this document to someone else, and for some reason any instead of doing the entire page 2 columns, they made the two columns of text individual boxes. How to set the number of columns in a textbox control. I know how to adjust the columns on the entire page, but I don't know how you do in a text box.

  You can set an individual text by choosing object > text frame Options. On the general tab, change the number of columns.

• Application of a paragraph style for blocks of text in the document

  Hi all! Don't know what I'm doing wrong here, and I can't find examples online, so I thought I'd ask.

  var app.activeDocument = docRef;

  var textRef = docRef.textFrames;

  paraStyle var = docRef.paragraphStyles.getByName ("RetraitGauche");

  var = textRef.paragraphs.length iCount; This is the error that is displayed.

  for (var i = 0; i < iCount; i ++) {}

  paraStyle.applyTo (textRef.paragraphs [i], true);

  }

  Redraw();

  Thanks in advance!

  In short, I would say that you must loop frames within this loop of paragraphs and related texts.

• Paragraph style includes URL "style."

  When I apply a paragraph style, a set of text in which one paragraph has a link to a url, the paragraphs after the url style, have the same style of hyperlink applied to it.

  The following text has no connection, etc. and does not part of the same paragraph.

  Figured it out.

  When I created the hyperlink, it created a defect of character of hyperlink Style.

  Just so removed that.

  How to apply this paragraph style "Header" in textFrame selected with the text "This is my head" using JS

  as directed by your initial thread in question that asked you to change only the text block selected, so I gave code such as

  but myDoc1 = app.activeDocument; lets you apply the styleforwholedocument
