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.

  • Paragraph styles changing all of the text, not only selected text

    Hello, I'm using CS5, InDesign, on a Mac and I'm having a terrible time applying my paragraph styles in the imported Word document. The main problem is when I select text to apply my paragraph style to, the style is applied to all the text in the thread of the text in InDesign. The solution I understood is to go in Word, cut and paste each section on Word, a new Word document and be sure to 'Paste special' and select 'text style' in Word. Then, I am able to apply for the different sections of text paragraph styles when it is imported into InDesign. The only problem is that all hyperlinks are removed and I must now enter and put them all by hand. It is well over 100 hyperlinks in this ebook. I spent 4 hours trying to solve this problem. There seems not to be a conflict of style when I import the Word document and I am sure no paragraph or character styles are selected when I put them the text. I changed the options "next style" in paragraph stlyes and which seems not helped either. This would be a matter of Word?

    That sounds to me like you have separte paragraphs, but have line breaks forced in the place where the paragraph breaks must be. You can check that by showing the nonprinting characters.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    I just thought of it.  It does not work with character styles.  You must remove the character style, and then reformat the text so that styles for links to appear.  No work around for this?

  • Object to a paragraph Style anchor? Objects behind text

    Hello

    I am trying to anchor a graphic object to a paragraph style that is a numbered paragraph.  I've set up my number and I want a single chart to be anchored to the number so it appears behind the number each time that I chose this paragraph style.

    Is this possible to do?

    Or maybe I should ask how others put graphics in the background of the bullets or numbers and have their anchor point for the text...

    Of course, I could use some help with this; It seems it should be easy...

    Dave.

    I found it fascinating, so I thought I'd see what I could come up with.

    I did a numbered paragraph style, for starters. Then I did a Cyan filled ellipse, which I anchored in front of the first word in a paragraph and changed the positioning custom and made sure it was compared to the anchor and off to respect the limits of the image, to allow me to position 'behind' the number. As emmanuel, anchored objects work actually in front of the text, therefore, so far, it isn't.

    I selected the ellipse and changed its blend mode to multiply. It won't change color where it is more white, but it will darken everywhere where it is located on another color, creating a rich black number, for example, if you used the text in black. Looks pretty good now.

    Select the ellipse and create a new object style based on it. It will be by default include the blend mode and the anchored object settings and make sure that the style is applied to the selected ellipse. Now cut the ellipse and stick it on the pastboard in the way so you don't lose it.

    As long as the object exists in the Clipboard you can use for a search/replace operation, so you can do this now or later, just by copying again when appropriate. Find/replace must be a GREP search ^ (.) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph, and then replace it by ~ c$ 1, which means replacing the found character and content to the Clipboard format. Be sure to set the discovery of options for the numbered paragraph style formatting.

    Because you gave the object an object style that includes the mode of fusion and positioning and you stuck as a formatting object, these attributes are preserved and the graph will be correctly positioned for each paragraph.

  • script to duplicate the standard paragraph style, and then change the size of the character point

    I want to create a script that will create a cascade of paragraph based on the style settings [standard paragraph] styles. My goal is to point size of each new paragraph style character as a percentage of the original [standard paragraph]. So if [standard paragraph] is 100% (point character size 10pt), the script would create a paragraph style called 120% ' that has a point size of character of 12 points. Then 133%, 140%, and on and on. I modified a script found on this forum to generate these new styles, but I don't know how to be based on the [standard paragraph]. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    current script:

    var doc = app.activeDocument,

    pStyle = ['100% ', '120% ', '133% '];

    for (var i = 0; i < pstyle.length; i ++)

    {

    If (pstyle [i] is "100 %")

    {

    doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: pstyle [i], appliedFont: 'Deer', pointSize:10});})

    }

    ElseIf (pstyle [i] == "120 %")

    {

    doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: pstyle [i], appliedFont: "Deer", pointSize:10 * 1,2})

    }

    ElseIf (pstyle [i] == "133 %")

    {

    doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: pstyle [i], appliedFont: "Deer", pointSize:10 * 1.33333})

    }

    }

    Try this,

    var doc = app.activeDocument,
        pstyle = ["100%", "120%", "133%" ];
    
    for(var i =0;i

  • How 2 apply a CSS element/attribute on 'replace' a single word in all the places in the text.

    Hello, I am new to DW and only to learn CSS. I'm trying to create/assign a CSS attribute to the text which is often rexample. For example: John Doe is the new manager of Department of xyz. In Word, you have the ability to 'find and replace '. However, I would like to create the CSS where I can go the CSS style and highlight the name, change to the new name of managers, and Dreamweaver will apply on all pages of the site. Anyone know how I can get this result, instead of going from page to page, line by line, and retype the name over and over again or help find and replace, located almost in time can.

    Thank you!

    Suzi

    Great solution to Nancy actually has a problem.

    His image shows sound only to replace in the active document and, if you are looking to replace throughout the site, you want to pull down to find in 'Current Local the entire Site' for all instances of the text or code you want to replace. Dreamweaver warns you that you cannot undo this action for any document not opened in the site. When you click on 'OK' it will open a window of progress because it makes the replacements.

    But CSS cannot replace text, create only formatting.

  • Why my cursor jumps around to various places in the text I type on my PC?

    This happens when I tap on a Web site, text, forms, forums, and
    also by e-mail. It is random. No particular trend.

    Someone at a party said it was a Microsoft program and turn off, but I
    don't remember that one, and when I tried to stop programs
    on the task Mgr, it did not help.

    It is a relatively new HP PC (13 months) and up until about a month, no problem
    with Windows except for the usual questions '7 '.

    Whenever this happens (4 times in this area), I have to click to start typing the text in the appropriate again place.

    Very annoying and time consuming.

    Hi Linda,.

    Here is that a work around you can try.

    1. go to Start , then on Panel.

    2. in the Control Panel window, in the Find box, type mouse and click mouse.

    3. in the options of the pointer tab, uncheck the "hide the pointer when typing"
