Can I Auto format the first paragraph on each page of a document of 20 pages?

So, I have a document that is in fact just a numbered list of 200 entries.

There are 10 items per page, which makes it a 20 page document.

Unfortunately, from time to time I give myself an extra entry to add, whose invariaby is in the middle of the document and not at the end.

What I would do, if I add a new #20 to the document, the old #20 (now #21), pushed to the next page, would then automatically be formatted with the paragraph style to my 'Style'.

I could not find out how to do this, which means, in the above example, I need to go to 18 pages and remove the 'Style' formatted as in each case after the addition, it is now the second entry on the page. At the same time, I must apply the paragraph 'Style' formatting for each first entry of all subsequent pages. If I only had to do from time to time, it would not be a problem, but this document is regularly updated, it becomes tedious.

Nested styles does not seem to be an option, because I use the numbering that requires a paragraph break to differentiate each line number and nested styles seem to apply to each paragraph, except if I am doing something wrong here.

I hope that this is sufficient to go.

You say that the formatting is different for each paragraph 20, reagardless of its content, and it is going to be the first paragraph on a page to go?

As long as never depart you from the cycle 20 paragraph that it's actually pretty easy to do, just 20 paragraph styles, of which 19 are based on the other and differ only in the name of style. You then together "next" style attributes to run through the list of styles, then the following style for #20 is #1 and the sequence starts over. Now just select the entire block of text between the point where you have edited at the end and click right on the name of the TSRI in selecting paragraph style, then in the menu popup, choose apply and following Style.

  • How the auto uppercase the first letter of each sentence

    I use the latest version of the Pages on the Sierra of the OS and I am trying to find a way to automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence with nothing doesn't. I've been a user of Pages for years and every time announced a new update is all what I care about is adding this feature simple but important. So, now that the new update is here I can not yet understand how to take advantage of the auto and I can't find workarounds online to help me do it. Any idea?

    You can use WordService from DEVONtechnologies, free in the Mac App Store. You can then go to System Preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > Services & enable those you want. You can then select the text you want to apply the service to & go to Pages > Services & select initial caps of sentences. It is also possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to services. With the help of this device, or similar functionality in any word processing application still not to revert to words in a sentence that should be capitalized as 'I' or pronunciations. You will also have the problem of it capitalized words after the period for the abbreviation.

    I do it the traditional way, using the SHIFT key when necessary. It is advisable to learn to type using the SHIFT key, rather than relying on the software to do it for you. Just like the use of a spellchecker. It's good, but it will not go back on the words that are spelled correctly but not the correct spelling of the situation.

    Hello Joannaw75509803,

    You must manually add each original field at the location in the document and also, if you wish, you can use text tags that you add to the document before downloading in EchoSign and form fields would be created automatically. This is the same documentation:

  • make the first line of each paragraph "BOLD"

    Hi all

    I read this forum, but I can't really find the answer, I need.

    Here's my problem, we intend to automate the flow of text in our Organization, that's what I have to do

    -read the input from the story of a database

    -flow text into a text box in particular for example 4.5 cm wide

    -each paragraph will be had 2 new lines

    -Select the first line of each paragraph then putting in bold.

    in the above list, I can do everything except the first paragraph selection and putting in bold. I am looking for the selection of text I see there is a function called textframe.select?

    Can someone help me with this please?

    This severely reduced your options. (Which reminds me, you can specify a detail important like that from the beginning the next time.)

    The simple solution would be to apply your "BOLD" font (or better: a character style) in the first line of each paragraph by using the property of a paragraph .lines. UH customary ‑‑ link to the HTML version of the omitted OMV, it seems I'm not coming back as much as CS2... (Is there a CHM for it to http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html).

    This should work:

    App.Selection [0] .paragraphs [0]. Lines [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = "YourBoldCharStyle";

    ... With your cursor in the paragraph you want to change. Will adjust to meet your specific needs.

    There is a drawback of the simple method. Unless you use a special police who makes bold with the same width as her (quite rare) usually, the text will be redistributed after he applied. So there are one or more words in bold on the next line, so you must remove the tank style "BOLD" of those. But! At that time InDesign may determine that these non-bold words may go back on the first line!

    Well written code does not help, because it could be possible the same word oscillates backwards with each change between the first and the second line, each time to cheat... At * some * point you'll have to help the poor ID a bit; perhaps to fix this first line with No Break applied.

    Well, it's not entirely "automagical", maybe someone knows better as well.

    1. you create nested Style special Para with the line Style.

    It's a bad idea because it will remove all the images and formatting you want to keep your content.

  • No indent on the first paragraph only after the title

    I am importing a Word document and I encounter a few problems during Assembly.

    1. I don't want the first line of the first paragraph after a heading have a dash. I don't want the Indent on the following paragraphs.

    I created two new styles of paragraphs where firstbodyParagraph style does not have a dash in the 1st row and bodyParagraph style has a dash.

    Title 1A in the following style firstbodyParagraph and firstbodyParagraph a bodyParagraph in the following style. It works very well within Indesign. For example if I score of Heading1 until the next title and select use Heading1, and then click Next. But if I get a Word document where I've adapted Heading1 in word to my own defined inddHeading1 etc, this does not work no matter how I try to change the linking of the Word text in firstbodyParagraph or bodyParagraph. Following style is not honoured so to speak.

    2. Another problem is that my margin to the left and right margins settings change not is. Word document left only right margin and my body text paragraphs are to the left and right margins straight. A small sign appears on my paragraph style and I have to go through the whole of the document paragraph by paragraph to click away.

    To the text block, you can break the flow of the text on the first image, substitute the paragraph and style of object of the framework and then create a link to the stream. If a stream of text associated with various substitutes:

    Click on the first image port, followed by a click in the first frame to untie the lead

    All select and clear the replacements for the paragraphs of the text styles and select the image and erase his substitution. Italic Blue Note not style loses her style because she has no style applied character:

    Hello

    I am trying to solve a problem: my text field should be divided into two parts, horizontally. First part is intended for a log book, and the second is for the body.

  • Drop cap in the first paragraph only...

    Hi all

    I found what looks like the solution to this, but it does not work (making it not a solution).

    in any case, I've created two paragraph styles ('First paragraph Style' and 'Paragraph Style'). "First paragraph Style" I put the drop cap, and I put "Next Style" (under 'general') 'Paragraph Style' (who has not a setting of the drop cap, or rather the settings by default ie. 0 rows, etc.).

    The catch: I apply the paragraph Style first to my text and... all paragraphs will have a drop cap, as defined in the first paragraph Style. Major sadness!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    You must right click on the first paragraph Style and then choose apply "paragraph Style" then next Style.

  • "BOLD" from the first words of each line?

    I wonder if there is a way to fully automate this. I'm style expandable body of interview-format the text, and I would only the first word of each paragraph, be bold if they are one of the three names. I currently have a nested style black the first word of each paragraph, but not all of the paragraphs in the text begin with a name of interview. Can anyone help?

    Depends on if you need it to happen automatically when you start new documents with interviews, or if you need to do just for a single doc where all your text has already been sent to. If the latter, I had:

    (1) make a duplicate of the nested-style-parastyle called BoldNames

    (2) remove the nested style old style paragraph - now zero paragraphs have the nested style applied, and you have a separate unused paragraph with the nested style in style.

    (3) research the doc with a GREP query:

    To find

    ^(Jake|) Joel | James)

    Implement

    $

    with the format of

    BoldNames

    In this way, only the paragraphs that have one of these names at the beginning of the paragraph will be marked with the paragraph style that owns the nested style that applies "BOLD".

    Hello Lisa,.

    It's more to do with the word processor on Windows. You don't say what word processing software you use. If you use WordPad which comes free with Windows, it is impossible to do what you want to do. However, if you are using Microsoft Office Word (that you can buy) then the CAP is set by default.
