• best judgment for paragraph styles, object styles and character styles

  I want to learn the criteria difference and use of paragraph styles, object styles and character styles. I know how to use them, but know about the best judgment and context, when you use would be better. Can anyone recommend links? I've been using adobe. Please don't suggest books.

  Paragraph styles are whole paragraphs.

  Character styles are letters or isolated words. Do not use the long of an entire paragraph. Do not set all the attributes, only those who are different for the properties of the paragraph Style. Unlike Quark Xpress, in InDesign are character Styles used only for the difference of isolated words.

  Paragraph styles can include the character automatically Style: Styles, GREP, nested Styles, initial letters, chips automatic & numbers and line styles.

  Object styles , set the frame of the object. They include separate definitions of all of the object, the stroke and fill.

  Object styles can also be applied to images in a frame and groups.

  Object styles may also include in the following paragraph Style and a style of paragraphs in automatic way.

  Object styles have several categories, you can choose which category is relevant to apply. For example, it is possible to apply the first style object to give the stroke and fill and apply a different object style to format the corners only and then apply the next. (With this method last only the applied object Style is linked).

  Styles of the opportunity to make global changes in a document. If you build in a smart way, they are a huge time saver. They can be stored in the CC libraries or libraries with objects that are applied to them. If you have created once these styles, you can use them again, and with one or two clicks, you can make their own to new document.

  My recommendation: the habit of Styles, name them always with the same names that it helps you to be accustomed to them and to work faster, much faster.

  There are more models: Table Styles, Styles of cell, the Master Pages and color chart.

• Table of contents, problems in applying the character style

  Hi all

  This is my first post, I checked if there was already something similar, but I can't find anything so I'm asking here.

  I work with Indesign 9.3 and I created a book of 80 pages and there are 20 + chapters.

  I wanted to create a table of contents, so I made an and I put my paragraph for her style, but I had problems to set the character style (he set only to the number of the page, but not to the number and the name of the chapter).

  When I create my summary style I have no problem to indicate the paragraph style that you want to use (and then it automatically applies it properly when I generate my list).

  The problem I want to solve, is that I need that my table of contents automatically the value of the character style, cause, for the moment, I have to apply it after its generation.

  Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understood

  In this case you must use the character for numers style nested within the paragraph style

  I'm usually two independent sparagraph styles (primary materials) chapters and sections (toc details). In this way, you can add a different same nested character style to stand them.

  Addibn later - style, it is not good idea. After the update of the table of contents, you have lost the

• default or any text in a character style sheet

  Hello

  I'm trying to style text using paragraph and character style sheets, I built. When I create a new text box and import text from a Word file, all the text I have import default values to one of my character style sheets. Before importing the text, I have check the cursor inside the empty box and the paragraph style is standard paragraph and character style is 'none '. Yet, when I import text, it is always default to a specific character style I created.

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Check your paragraph styles to see that you do not use the nested styles or GREP styles except when you need it. You can have a nested style that does not turn off the coast.

  While your description indicates this isn't the problem, it is worth checking. There is a bug in InDesign, where it applies a default character imported text style. You set the default character style by selecting a character style while no text block is selected and that you not change any text. If there is a default character style, click None for the value None as the default character style.

• find MANUALLY applied character styles

  Hi all

  We switch to an XML stream, and as one of our interim steps we are applying tags to paragraph and character styles in some of our documents. I am aware of the ability to map styles to tags and it should work for paragraph styles well. However, we are looking for a way to map only character styles that were applied manually.

  For example, we have a paragraph style for instructions which has some "BOLD" nestled at the beginning of each paragraph. In other places, the same style of characters may be used for "BOLD" a specific word, but it is applied manually. It is possible to map the tags THAN character styles that were applied manually? We do not want the labels identifying the character styles that have been applied through nested Styles or GREP Styles.

  I guess it would take some kind of script, that's why I write in the forum script. Anyone know if this is possible?

  Thanks in advance,

  Matthew

  Hi Matt,

  Please try to code below, hope this helps.

  applyTag("bold", "b");
  applyTag("italic", "i");
  
  function applyTag(StyleName, TagName)
  {
  app.findTextPreferences = null;
  app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = StyleName;
  list = app.activeDocument.findText();
  app.findTextPreferences = null;
  while (list.length)
  {
       next = list.pop();
       if (next.appliedCharacterStyle == app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(StyleName))
       {
            next.associatedXMLElements[0].xmlElements.add(TagName, next)
       }
  }

• 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");

  }
  }

• Automate the character styles?

  Tuesday morning, I sit and one hundred and fifty summer events to pop in a leaflet. Choice is easy - I can print them and type them. In the shower, however, I started thinking about choice B, and I don't know if InDesign can do what I want.
  
  I have control over the database where they are hosted, and it is quite easy for me to pop in the format
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Date - time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  What is all the information I need on this document. On the finished product, I'll Date and time to have character styles applied (for color and weight). It is not difficult for me to assign keys quick access to styles of character and to make this hand - twenty minutes of boredom.
  
  But!
  
  Could format that
  
  (where the symbols are just unique symbols)
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ªDate - ∞ £ time [CR]
  Name of the event
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  
  and then use a find/replace to tell InDesign
  
  -in the case of 'ª... ". ∞ ", apply the style of character 'Style of Date'
  
  -in the case of "£...", apply the style of character 'Time style' "
  
  and then go through and remove all instances of ª ∞, £ and
  
  ?
  
  (Additional spaces applied for ease of reading)
  
  Or, if I'm imagining this wrong, is there another way I can format the original data to automate the application of styles?

  Even I don't think that you would need to grep for that.

  I would create two paragraph styles, one for the date and time with the following style being the name of the event and the name of the event, including the next style time.

  Then create a character for the time style and have the paragraph style base for date/time, or just for the date of the formatting you want.

  The style of time date would have a style nested with none by the hyphen and the time until the end of the paragraph.

  Place the text and then select everything from him and in paragraph styles, right panel click on time and in the context menu, choose apply date/time and following.

  Who must fully put in shape all your text.

• BUG: Character styles does not, plus sign and redefine style gray

  Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, the feature of character styles seem to be broken.

  When I select a character and want to create a new style of character formatting, the menu will not let me. The sign is not clickable. This is clearly a bug and should be fixed because it annihilates completely the reusability of the layouts for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

  In the screenshot below, I select (highlight) a character that is part of a paragraph style with the style named body, displayed in the form of body + in paragraph styles.

  The changes to the formatting should let me save in the form of a character style, but the sign is grey. Redefine the style of the menu item is grayed out as well.

  

  This behavior started during a few Mac OS x versions.

  What can I do about it?

  Using Pages v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5.

  As long you select text including the existing character style is zero, the ability to add (blue sign) a new character style is denied. Just as this is true, whenever I changed the fonts or the attributes of a letter, a word or group of either, the possibility to add a new character style became available.

  Apple did not have a special version of Pages for me, and I can't reproduce what you're proclaiming as a BUG.

• Character styles do not work in Pages

  I'm on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2014, retina), running 10.10.5 (14F1021) and run pages v. 5.6.1

  It's pretty simple: I'm searching the internet apple documentation and Web sites.

  To the title of the pane 'format' to the right of the workspace, there is an option below 'police' called 'Styles of character ".  There is no way, in this latest version, to create a new character style.  No selection there will allow you to press the symbol '+', and there is no menu in the menu bar you option to create a character style.

  Despite trying several ways of dozens to understand this point, there is no work around.  I think it's a bug.

  Please fix this Apple?  I love the pages, but boy, this can be frustrating.

  Thank you!

  I use Pages on El Capitan 10.11.1 v5.6.1. I can define a character style.

  Try the following:

  1. Type a word or two. Select them.
  2. Press command + T to launch the Panel font
  3. In the toolbar, click the selector bar and in this menu, choose color
     1. Choose red
     2. Unique, choose the menu bar (you now have a single, red strikethrough)
  4. Selected always your text
     1. Click Character Styles picker
     2. The + symbol is now blue
        1. Click on + to add
        2. Change the new name of red bar, then press return to set.
     3. Click on any character Style
     4. Click the character crossed Red style to test.

  If you want any style of character custom for later use, you will need to make a custom template for new documents, or simply a model of style that you can open separately and then using the Format menu, styles of copy/paste between your model as well as the current document.

• Use GREP to apply paragraph styles, character styles not only

  I have a body of text, and in it, I would like to apply a specific style to the paragraphs corresponding to a model. I did a GREP style that applied some changes formatting of paragraphs, I tried that it affects, but in doing so, I found that I couldn't Center these lines using a character style. (The corresponding lines should be centered, and the rest should be left aligned.)

  I was thrilled to learn that the GREP function, then completely disappointed with this limitation. InDesign offers the possibility to automate this, so I must not cross and Center each paragraph corresponding to the hand?

  Thank you!

  InDesign provides a way to automate this so?

  Yes and no. There is no dynamically linked paragraph styles to a paragraph about his boss, but he has at least two alternatives:

  (1) use Grep-F/C

  (2) use the script FindChangeByList or MultiFindChange which is basically automate operations F/C

• Add numbers of sequential endnote using a character style

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone knows of a script that could insert numbers of endnote sequentially to each instance of a character style.

  Our editing process, we use 'hard' note numbers that are based on numbers of items of the text. When the editing process is finished, we go through and manually change the sequential numbers. The endnote numbers have a special character style, so such a script would go to the first instance of this style of character, replace the characters by '1', then go to the next occurrence of the character style and replace the characters by '2' and so on.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Alicia Dole

  A standard operation. In the third line, replace "number of hard endnote" with the name of the character style that you use for notes end.

  app.findGrepPreferences = null;
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\d+';
  app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Hard endnote number';
  found = app.documents[0].findGrep();
  for (i = found.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    found[i].contents = String (i+1);
  }

• Application of large amount of copy character styles

  Hello!

  I am trying to apply character Styles to a large amount of copy and I can't understand it. I find tutorials on how to create them and use them, but I don't want to have to search all my text to style "italic". I hope that all makes sense. I thought that there was a way to apply a character Style to the text easily, but I can find no longer.

  I want to apply a character Style to some words in a large amount of text, and then apply Styles to a paragraph in the text box. actually not to change Styles of character to the breast.

  Does anyone know how to do this? Looks like it should be so simple!

  Thanks in advance!
  

  L.

  Is already italic text? If it is you can do a find/change GREP for. + and set the Format to find for italics, and then set the format change on your italic character style and change all. You should do this on a copy of the doc for safety.

• GREP search: match between character styles

  I fight with it, even if it sounds very simple.

  In a huge document, I need to find each space with these two features:

  (1) the space has no model of applied character

  (2) the space located between text1 and text2 which have the style applied X character.

  In other words:

  < text1 [Character Style X] > < space [Character Style None] > < Text2 [Character Style X] >

  How would you do that?

  The reason why you are struggling is that GREP can match two specified character styles, or two specified paragraph styles in the same time. This will require script.

• GREP style - apply character style to the opening and closing parentheses surrounding a 0 (but not 0)

  Hello

  I'm relatively new to GREP style and will have to put in shape about 600 postcards containing various data (via the merger of data), including phone numbers. Consider the following data set:

  1. + 44 (0) 123467800

  2 (©) copyright

  3. (name of the program)

  I want to tell Indesign to stagger the opening and the closing parenthesis of the baseline (with a character style), but only the bracket that include a 0 and, possibly, without affecting the 0 value between them.

  Seems like an easy task, but it is impossible to find a solution. Could someone help?

  Thank you very much
