• cannot change character styles when importing text

  Hello

  I have a problem with the import of text and changing the font styles. Here's what I have:

  1. a form current livecycle with lots of text and fileds etc.

  2. a revised customer word doc

  the text I have to change appears in the grey boxes with white text (it comes in livecycle)

  the text that I copy of the word is regular black on white

  When I paste into my form it sells to black, filled it with a white (only in the new text) with the bad police.

  So I created a new style in the style catalog window. I select the new text, click on the style that I created, right click and select 'apply style' and... nothing.

  I can manually change the font and font color, but I don't see how to remove white box around this new text. More importantly, I have a lot of editing to do and if I can not change correctly the text that I have at hand type on every bit that is not normal.

  Is there a problem with the import of text in a word document? Or is there something that I am missing?

  Thank you

• 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.

• 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!

  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.

• CS5: Hyperlink to anchor text in the character style?

  Is it possible to script the following:

  A text has several occurrences of the same string, for example "A10". One is marked with a character style "Anchor" and others are marked by a character style "link." The idea is to create anchors text style "Anchor" then find all occurrences of the character 'Link' style and create a hyperlink to the corresponding anchor.

  I managed to find a script that creates a character style "Anchor" text anchors Can anyone offer suggestions on how to make script creating the links?

  Create hyperlinks using a single destination and sources;

  so:

• How to choose a character style instead of the entire text selection when running a script?

  I have a script, which, after having selected the text, can change the appearance of the figures. This action, therefore, covers all the numbers in the document to help:

  
  

  01 If (app.selection.length! = 1)

  [... here, the rest of the script]
  

  
  

  How do I change this line to apply changes only to those numbers until the tag with a specific character style?

  
  

  Thank you.

  
  

  I tried to change this line which is to select all the numbers:

  If (app.selection.length! = 1).

  This line is all, but by selecting all numbers. It only checks if there is more than one selected item. Selection of texts always returns the length of 1. That's why this review.

  And given what I've offered before, all you have to do in Jongware script to match your needs is to add app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = theStyle;

  Before findGrep().

• How can I request a specific to a specific text character style?

  Long user date Photoshop and Illustrator. New to Indesign.

  Fortunately, this is not a matter of knowing how to create fractions. I have already chosen a route for it. I simply apply a character Style who ticked "fractions" of opentype.

  Here is an example of the content that I treat:

  

  Above is my table style in Indesign, after pasting in the data me be given data in excel spreadsheets.

  How can I quickly apply my style "FRACTIONS of ptable_BODY" to only some texts, such as: "1/2" + 1/4 "+" 1/8 "& preference random arbitrary fractions like" 34/69"?".

  GREP can do great things, but it can selectively apply character styles?

  Maybe it's a job for a paragraph style. I'm not sure.  . .

  Do it with a GREP search:

  \d/\d

  which means: one or more digits, a /, followed by one or more

  figures.

  And replace with your chosen tank style.

  However, some OpenType fonts will do this automatically if you enable

  the option of OpenType fractions. But I see you know who.

• InDesign applies erroneously style to any text character

  Last year, I had been importing text in InDesign with little trouble until that what happens beginning of problem and I cannot understand why.

  Let's say I have a CS3 file with defined character and paragraph styles.

  If I draw a blank text box, InDesign displays the character style "exposing" paragraph style "ext_all" are applied. I choose "Break link to Style", but if I'm importing text in this box, the "Exhibitor" character style is applied.

  The following happens first or not if I created a text box:

  If I import a Word style file, all of the text is available in style 'exposing' until it reaches a word character style.

  If I import a text file that contains the InDesign tag, all text is available in style 'exposing' until it reaches a character tag.

  If I import a rtf file a very simple sentence, all the text is of 'exposing '.

  Anyone run into this? I tried Googling, but impossible to find a discussion about this. Thanks in advance!

  Maybe you inadvertently put these styles as the default values? That will happen if you click on them with nothing selected. For the active document go to the text tool and make sure that there is no active cursor or a block of selected text, then check to see that the character style is set to [none] and paragraph to what you would like to be your default style. Also check the settings in the character and paragraph panels.

  To make sure this is not postpone in any more new documents, if indeed that was the problem, close all documents and repeat the steps above. With no document open your selections become the defaults for all new work until this that changed.

• Is it possible to update a character style with the changes I made to the selected text?

  I use InDesign CS5 on OS X Yosemite.

  I don't really know the best way to put it, so I hope that this scenario makes sense.

  Let's say I have a document with a few styles of different characters, and on one page of the document, I decided that I would try something different for a title that has an applied character style - this style is applied to all titles at the same level on the rest of the document. I do not adjust the style of character, however, but simply adjust the setting in shape in the upper character Panel. After playing for awhile, I have decide that I'm really this new setting in shape and want to apply as a result of the document, but now I don't have a character for this style.

  I know that I could just make a new style of form the title I have changed, then go back into the rest of the document and apply it to other styles. However, since this title still has the original style applied (just with overrides), I would like to know if there is a quick way to update the style based on the new formatting?

  I hope that makes sense.

  Thank you for your help in advance.

  With the substituted text still selected (you will see a + next to the character name of the Style in the character Styles Panel), choose the Style to redefine in the character Styles Panel menu.

• Hyperlink text styles do not work properly

  I created three hyperlinks in text on a single page. Apart from the text and link destinations, they are identical. I applied the exact style of link text even for them, but when I saw the only the first link will be to the hover color. All the links work, but the other two remain to the normal color. Muse is updated once, and I tried to remove and reapply the links; I even created a new page and recreated the links, only to have the same problem occur. Any ideas on what is happening here?

  Solved my problem! It seems that I applied a hyperlink for the text AND the text box accidentally. Apparently, if you apply a style of hyperlink in the text box it will substitute that applied to the text and nothing will change in a stable condition. I solve it just remove the hyperlink in the text box and leaving one on the text itself. Life is good.

• Is it possible to add text to the cells and apply the character style in the cell

  I work in InDesign on Mac 5.

  I have two tables of formatting with information that will be eventually combined. I implemented the scripts I found on these forums to add the columns needed, merge lines and fill the cells merged with the appropriate color, but can't two remaining tasks.

  1. is it possible to add text to a cell of some?

  2 and it is possible to apply a character style to cells? (different cells than those that I need to add some text)

  I played with this code but do not know if it is even close...

  {

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0]. InsertText (' CS/PS");

  }

  {

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .appliedCharacterStyle ("bold");

  }

  Here are the scripts that I have combined so far for the table...

  Add column

  myTable = app.selection [0];

  MyColumn = myTable.columns [1];

  for (a = 0; < 1; a ++)

  {

  myTable.columns.add (LocationOptions.AFTER, myColumn);

  }

  Merge lines

  table = app.selection [0];

  If (table.hasOwnProperty ("baseline") table) = table.parent;

  If (instanceof cell table) table = table.parent;

  If (instanceof column table) table = table.parent;

  If (instanceof row table) table = table.parent;

  If (instanceof Table table)

  {

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0]. Merge (table.rows [0] .cells [1]);

  }

  {

  colours alternating in merged lines

  r = table.rows [1];

  n = app.activeDocument.swatches.item ("orange");

  b = app.activeDocument.swatches.item ("PANTONE 3005 C");

  for (c = 0; c < r.cells.length; c ++)

  {

  If (c & 1)

  r.Cells [c]. Properties = {fillColor:b};

  on the other

  r.Cells [c]. FillColor = n;

  }

  }

  Hello

  1. If you want to add the text, go further in:

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .insertionPoints [0] .silence = ' CS/PS;

  2 similar with application of styles:

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .texts [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = "bold" / / If this style is present in your doc

• With the help of FindChangeList.jsx - can't find text AND character style?

  I have been using the "FindChangeList.jsx" script in CS5 and it works well for what I need, except for one thing: ideally I want to pick up a piece of text with a certain style of applied character. Is it possible to do something like

  Text {findWhat: 'some text', appliedCharacterStyle: 'character style name'}

  I tried the above, but it is basically ignored the character style and found all of the text corresponding to the sentence (unknown what character style has been applied). Any ideas?

  Thank you very much. HJ

  Problem solved-, I made two mistakes. First of all, the style is a paragraph not one style style character, and secondly, it has been grouped into a folder. So I moved out of the folder and changed the code to ' appliedParagraphStyle: ' (and everything worked fine.:).

  Thank you. HJ

• Auto character style applies in new tables and imported text

  Hi, I saw a post related to this problem, but it does not solve mine (check the default object style).

  So my problem is that when I import a Word document or I create a new table in InDesign, it is always a character that automatic style applies to my text and I don't really know why, I don't know what kind of option/preference to watch, I was looking in the paragraph/object/table styles, nothing seems to show me the character style that applies by default everywhere.

  Someone has an idea? I'm sure it's an easy problem to solve.

  Thanks in advance!

  Make sure that the standard paragraph is selected before importing the text. Or at least the Style of the paragraph that you want to the text.

• Removal of text box character style

  I have a CS3 document that has about 10 styles of characters - whose is Fig_ref. whenever I have to draw a text box, it automatically to the text with this style of character styles. I have to go to the menu drop down and select None. Is there a way to force the default value to "None"? Thank you.

  With no text selected, go to the character styles and select None.
