• [AS] [CS3] script find/repalace with style groups

  Hello world

  I've been struggling with this problem for a while and hope someone can enlighten us.

  I'm trying to use applescript to run a series of queries to search and replace.

  For example:

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
  paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences
  font style to find value text preferences 'italic book '.
  style character applied to change the value text preferences 'italic book '.
  tell document 1
  change the text
  tell the end
  tell the end

  This works great except if the document contains styles within groups of styles, in which case, I get an error saying

  "Adobe InDesign CS3 has been an error: invalid value for the set of"applied paragraph style"property."

  String, style section or anything, but received the "text". »

  If you do the find/replace manually, the paragraph style text (hand) indicating that the text is inside the hand of the style group.

  How can I specify it in the script?

  Thank you!

  InDesign is forgiving if you specify your style just in name, but in the case of groups of styles, be more specific.

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

  -paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences

  the value applied paragraph style to find text preferences for the paragraph style "Text" of the paragraph style group 'Hand' of the active document

• 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.

• 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

  Concerning

  Filippo

  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

• 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?

• Apply the character style to the part of the paragraph

  I am inserting text in a block of text with the following code:

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += pgfStr;

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += "\t";

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += refStr;

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += "\r";

  I want to apply the character style to all of the text in refStr (only the part of this paragraph). I know how the syling paragraph applies to the entire paragraph, but not a character style. I should be grateful if you would help. Thank you!

  Hello

  Dan - BTP says:

  ... the size in points and attack can be different on each page...

  You are able to find a rule of these differences?

  ...

  What do depends on what type of rule could be defined

  ...

  The size of reference point that is 1.5 PT lower than the point size of the paragraph, whatever.

  Close to the end of the script, you can code for example:

       //     Your target is "reference" which is a text inbetween tabulator and end of story (or other criteria).
       //     So you could define:
  app.findGrepPreferences = null;      // just for clear it
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\t).+\\s\\Z";     //     to catch text following tab in last para of story
       //     and after:
  mFound = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
       //     so all desired text objects are in an array "mFound".
       //     you could iterate (backward) through it:
  len = mFound.length;
  while (len-->0)      //     ">0" in case of nothing found
       mFound[len].pointSize -= 1.5;
  
       //     whatever that is - is 1.5 smaller

• Selection of parts and columns, or entire lines and apply the character style

  I am trying to apply character styles to certain parts/whole rows and columns.

  I can change individual cells with the following code...

  table = app.selection[0];

  if (table instanceof Cell) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Column) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Row) table = table.parent;
  if (table instanceof Table)
  
  {
   table.rows[0].cells[6].texts[0].appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";

  1. Select any row (or column) and apply the character style

  2. Select the last line (regardless of the number of rows in the table) and apply the character style

• Apply the character Style to a few characters in a paragraph

  Hey,.

  Me again - I feel like I'm dumber than a shoe trying to script InDesign

  I have a block of text with several paragraphs, which I am adding one by one.

  When adding these paragraphs, sometimes I need to apply a character style to some of the characters in the paragraph (I have the clues start and end of these characters to the text of the paragraph).

  Using the Guide of the script and the object reference, I cooked up this code below, but not only it doesn't seem to find the character style, she also told me the. itemByRange() is not a function...

  What's wrong?

  var line_styles = [{
      'start': 22,
      'end': 33,
      'style': 'Price - SKU'
  }];
  
  frame.contents += "\r" + line_text;
  frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
  
  for ( var j = 0, k = line_styles.length; j < k; j++ ) {
      var char_style = doc.characterStyles.item(line_styles[j].style);
      frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].itemByRange(
          line_styles[j].start,
          line_styles[j].end
      ).applyCharacterStyle(char_style, true);
  }
  

  frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].itemByRange(...

  does not compute. "paragraphs [-1]" points to a single paragraph and is not an itemByRange method. You must think of sth like

  frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].characters.itemByRange(...

• I installed the latest update of Windows. All updates. However, I find myself with the yellow warning icon in the bar of tasks and install when closing down.

• Help with the new Style of Table set in shape?

  I'm having all sorts of problems using the new table style trainer.  I'm not a RoboHelpHTML 8 experts (I better with version 5).  I am trying to create a table with 3 columns, of which the first is aligned to the left, the last 2 are centered.  The header (rank 1) is bold and centered.  Also I want all lines of the same thickness.  I created the table using the standard SimpleGridBlack... It is actually a line at the top... don't know what happened.  Then I ran WebHelp and the situation was identical to one here.  Then I duplicated the SimpleGridBlack and apply the new style to the table.  Then I started to make changes to the new style.  I chose the first line and made all columns centered and in bold. Because I want the columns 2 and 3 to be centered, I then selected columns even for change. He took care of column 2.  Then, I chose the last column of change. He took care of column 3.  However, the results were not what I expected. The upload does not quite show the image correctly.  The line under the "gg" is really there and the lines separating columns 1-2 and 2-3 in row 1 are really there.

  However, the first line of column 3 is not centered and lines A-B-C, D-E-F, A-D-G and H-E-B are thicker than the other lines.

  I hope that someone can help you.  It took 2 days and get a website made available for my use to get to the point that I am now.  It is a document that I am out of this week and I have a lot of tables to change.  Thanks for any help.

  8 HR tables are boring to say the least.

  First your alignment problems, you should take a look in the HTML itself to ensure that it is properly applied. The amoun of timers told me to center text and align and the HTML behind comes usually do. To verify here quickly.

  Regarding the double lines that you seem to be around the table, this may help, but I'm not sure that using your styles around them now.

  If you select the table as a whole, right-click right table properties > tab Table > table borders > turn off all borders of the table. Then go to this tab Table > cell borders > set the thickness to be used here, this applies to all round and will give you the lines you want.

  Good luck.
