Change any paragraph by script style

Hello!!!

Is it possible change one paragraph selected with any paragraph style by script?

Example:

My paragraph style is:

Font: Garamond, 7pt size, color: black, align justfy (or select any paragraph style)

Script to set selected with the paragraph style paragraph describe above to:

Police: Humanist, sise 8pt, color: black, align justfy

Drop cap: number of lines: 3, one or more characters: 2

Thanks for your script, Ford Foxy!

Try this

var myPara = app.selection [0] .paragraphs [0];
var myChar = myPara.characters [0];
myPara.dropCapCharacters = 1;
myPara.dropCapLines = 2;
myPara.dropcapDetail = 1;
myPara.firstLineIndent = 0;

myPara.dropCapStyle = 'My Style'

My Syle should be created in the Style of character, of course.

  • Change the paragraph by Script Style

    Hello!

    I don't know if this is the right place for this question but since its related to scripting, I'll ask here.

    Is it possible to change the paragraph Styles InDesign with a Script?

    For example, I need set Format1 hyphenation to specific values properties without changing the other properties. For Format2, I need to change other properties such as the Glph scaling.

    Like I need to do this with a lot of files, I suppose that the best way to archive it could be a script.

    Is there someone who had an idea on how to do it?

    Thanks in advance

    Thomas

    You're right, this can be done very effectively with a (relatively) simple script. This is an excerpt from a longer script of mine which covers a changing choice of design of end minutes documents open at once:

    for (i=0; i
    

    For a list of all paragraph properties that you can change, look in the ESTK help or (in a more user-friendly way to read and search) in an online version of these same data: InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0).

  • Is it possible to add bullets to a paragraph via script styles?

    According to the model object, it isn't, but I wanted to check

    bulletCharBallReadOnlyChip.

    I need to know if it is possible to take some character and turn it into a character of the ball.

    TIA

    Loïc

    Hi, love!
    Why not?
    Make a new paragraph style in the user interface with your custom chip and test it yourself in the ESTK:

    _paraStyle.bulletChar.properties.toSource ();

    This will give you (all r/w):

    characterValue:
    bulletsFont:
    bulletsFontStyle:

    _paraStyle.bulletChar.characterType //(r/w)

    This will give you alternatively:

    BulletCharacterType.UNICODE_ONLY

    BulletCharacterType.UNICODE_WITH_FONT

    BulletCharacterType.GLYPH_WITH_FONT

  • Help about the paragraph and character styles scriptting

    Hi all

    I'm working on a project with many files, I change change on all styles of paragraph with multiple processes

    for ex, change the font for all styles of paragraph on all open documents

              var docs = app.documents;  
                     
              for (var d = docs.length-1; d >= 0; d--) {

    but I found a text inside frames (the locked position) my find/replace a not to apply to this topic

    Thanks in advance

    Maybe your consolidated text block... Try this

    docs var = app.documents.

    for (var docs.length - 1; d = d > = 0; d-) {}

    var doc = docs [d];

    var pgItems = doc.allPageItems;

    for (var a = 0;< pgitems.length;="" a++)="">

    If (pgItems [a] instanceof TextFrame) {}

    While (doc.groups.length > 0)

    doc.groups.everyItem () .ungroup ();

    pgItems [a] .locked = false;      }

    }

    }

  • Change the paragraphs found in the standard paragraph style?

    I have look here for about an hour and could not find a discussion for this.  I see where it clears the substitutions but not change Style all together.  Here's what I need help do.  If I left saying text 4 selected boxes, I want the power to change the standard paragraph to paragraph and character set to None style style. If there is already can a discussion that I missed in this regard you point me in that direction.  If this is not the case, can I please help with this.

    You can usetpk1982of script to change all the paragraphs of the standard paragraph. But if you only want the block of selected text, then you will need to adjust thescript to change paragraph styles in the selected text frames.

    basically replace line 2 by var allTFrames = app.selection;
    Also, if you need to clear character styles need to do before you change the paragraph style or character styles will be removed and the formatting will be left as a local override.  Your final script after that these changes would be:

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    var myTFrames = app.selection;

    for (var i = 0; i)< mytframes.length;="" i++)="">

    var tFrame = myTFrames [i];

    pStory var = tFrame.parentStory;

    var allParas = pStory.paragraphs.everyItem ();

    pStory.characters.everyItem () .appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles [0];

    allParas.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles [1];

    }

    Note: instead of simply replacing the 2 wire I also changed the name of the variable to reflect rather than leave it in the form allTFrames; and add line 7... Other than these two changes everything was the script of tpk1982

  • CS3: need script to replace spaces with underscores in the paragraph and character style names

    Help! I am very new to scripting.

    I managed to find and tweak existing javascripts to search through all my paragraph styles to disable hyphenation and off balance the jagged lines, but I need help with this one.

    I work on Mac OS 10.4.11 using Indesign CS3.

    I need a script that will search all my paragraph and character styles in my open Active document and replace spaces by underscores.

    Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

    1. I don't know, but I think you can use all the regular GREP inside this function codes. Do not use the quotation marks around of the expression, use slashes! (Why? Just a curiosity of Javascript... maybe a hack that goes back to the gray mist of JS development...)

    This work should - but rather the code above, this is not tested:

    .. Replace (/ [-\ / ()-. _] + / g. '_');

    The GOLD group inbetween the brackets contain all the characters you want to replace with an underscore: the hyphen (this has to be the first character in the group, else it will be interpreted as a range of characters from each side!), space, slash (this one is 'special' inside the function replace JavaScript, so I think he needs to escape with a backslash)! in parentheses, a period (not sure if it should escape - into ordinary GREP, it's the wildcard character for any character, but maybe he loses his magic within a group of GOLD) and finally... the underscore character. Why?

    Well, this replacement string comes with a free bonus. Note the sign after the installment of GOLD +. This means that a whole sequence of these characters is replaced by a simple underscore: "it's / a - / test" will become "This_is_a_test". Adding the underscore line itself to the string of research means that it will also find the whole chain 'space space (stroke underscore)' in 'This style (_)' and, oh magic!, replace it immediately with a single underscore.

    Just FYI, the tiny "g" after the closing slash is abbreviation of 'global', i.e. at the global level, replacing in this string. replace the default values for a replacement only (why? see above...), and adding the 'g' ensures he keeps replacing until it is not find matches more.

    2 see point 1.

    3. uh, yes it's true, but you will need to check very carefully if nothing inside one of these basic models is substituted. You can apply a base style and add substitutions to make look like a subtitle, but that isn't making it a. And to the next paragraph, you can apply a base style and add substitutions to make it look like a paragraph of plain text (etc.). It's a signature of witness to bad formatting...

  • How to change the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only one anchored object?

    Hello

    I have a document in word that should be converted in indesign. The document contains instructions, each step followed by an image.

    I managed to import the document into Indesign and applied a paragraph with numbering style to everything (text, image).

    Now, how do I change the the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only an image? I need to get rid of the numbering.

    Thanks in advance.

    If the images are all anchored objects, you can use find/replace to find the anchor point and change the paragraph style only once for all paragraphs.

  • second line to the paragraph indented using styles?

    made anyone know if its possible in Indesign to do the second line of the paragraph indented using styles?

    I'm working on a book and I put the first word of each paragraph to be slightly larger and a different font to the rest of the paragraph. I did it using a style nested with the paragraph style. I also want to do what the second line is indented from the amount of space to the first word on the first line. This isn't problem doing this maunally but I want to find a way to define a style for this so that I can compose the book like this.

    any help is appreciated!

  • Add a suffix to all of paragraph and character styles.

    As the title suggests, first of all I would like to add a suffix to all of paragraph and character styles:

    Also, if possible, replace the space with an underscore:

    Title 1 = Heading_1_p

    Chapter No. 1 = Chapter_Heading 1_p

    You're not sure if this need of a script or two?

    Any help would be fantastic.

    See you soon

    Or use code below to replace all spaces with "_".

    For the paragraph Styles:

    myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;

    for (oneStyle = 2; oneStyle)<>

    {

    myStyles [oneStyle] .name = myStyles [oneStyle].name.replace (/ / g, '_') + "_p";

  • Change the Gallery HTML / Script

    Hi all

    New to the Forum, so please be gentle!

    I want to change some of the script / HTML contained in the galleries of stock. I know where the files are located, and what I need to change, but my PC will not allow access to these files by saying that they are protected.

    All the guys and galls allow snippets of advice to edit pages in an editor?

    I intend to backup the files first, but as I said, they seem protected against tampering.

    Thank you very much, and I'll be happy to provide you with more information if necessary.

    Simon

    You should not edit these files - but assuming you can see them, you can copy galleries (IE files) for your files and folders for the user templates:

    • Win7: Galleries C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web
    • Mac: USER\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Lightroom\Web galleries

    You may need to create the "Web galleries" folder.

    Start by editing galleryInfo.lrweb. You will need to change the title to something, you would be able to recognize in the Web and change the line id to something unique to your gallery. Restart Lr and your gallery should be displayed in Style available to the Web Control Panel - as well as built-in ones.

    You can see an example of a Gallery HTML changed here

  • Issues with paragraph and CSS styles and models module Styles

    I am having difficulties with a text style in my templates module in British Colombia (especially the blog). The drop-down list in the Editor's paragraph style does not reflect the H1, H2, etc. that has been downloaded to the site at its inception in Muse. And I don't have the ability to use CSS styles.  What gives?

    How can I change the paragraph styles to match the downloaded versions that CSS is not available?

    http://sweetsandtreatsboutique.2121customcontact.com/index.html

    It may be somewhere in the Site Global stylesheet. My boss, who created it in Muse, labeled H1, etc. like the following...

    . H1-GaramondB-40-151

    {

    color: #543426;

    Police-family: Garamond, Hoefler Text, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;

    font size: 35px;.

    make-weight: bold;

    line-height: 1;

    left margin: 0px;

    margin-right: 0px;

    padding-bottom: 0px;

    padding-top: 0px;

    }

    As a result, BC is not recognize this policy because of the name? I tried to delete the text after the .h1 and the paragraph style has not changed.

    -Chuck

    Hi Chuck,

    Your CSS code target the elements with the class ".h1-GaramondB-40-151", but this blog page your elments of a H2 does not have this category against them, that's why you need to replace the class name with the h2, as this element:

    H2 {}

    color: #543426;

    Police-family: Garamond, Hoefler Text, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;

    font size: 35px;.

    make-weight: bold;

    line-height: 1;

    left margin: 0px;

    margin-right: 0px;

    padding-bottom: 0px;

    padding-top: 0px;

    }

    I hope that makes sense. If you are looking for something like 'target the elements on the page with CSS' you will see what I mean.

    See you soon,.
