Default fonts to 50 points when you apply a paragraph style

I ran into this many times.  To update a file, InDesign from a previous version (now using CS5) when I apply a paragraph style, the default font is 50 points no matter the style settings.  Is it possible to avoid this.  Currently, I copy and paste the chart into a new file and have to set the text.  If I copy some old text, it causes the same problem.

Most of our text is copied and pasted from Microsoft Word (old version and new text changes), however, the text that was already in the document and the new text both do the same thing when a style is applied.

Win 7 Pro 64-bit

Your styles are based on standard paragraph, or is it an applied character style? If so, check to see if any of them have 50 as the size.

  • retention of the words italic when you apply the paragraph style

    When you place text in InDesign, I want to apply a paragraph style, but keep some (foreign) words in italics without having to search for each word and apply the italic character style. Texts are long and not originated by myself.

    The most recommended book for beginners here on the forum is Visual QuickStart of Sandee Cohen for InDesign. The 'bible' in my opinion, for very advanced users is Real World InDesign.

  • Why do the downtime when you apply a patch using opatch?

    Hello Experts,

    Version: 11.2.0.3

    Platform: OEL 5.5

    I would like to know why we need downtime when you apply a patch to a single instance using opatch database? Is it because the binaries get relinked after the patch?

    Thank you

  • Only able to do a line of text when you create a paragraph?

    Cannot do a single line of text. The return/enter key on transport does not create a new line when you build a paragraph? The cursor goes to the beginning or the Middle depending on the configuration of the justification.

    There are two things going on here. First of all, your attack, the distance between the lines, should be set to Auto or adjusted to the desired size. Second, if you click and drag a text box before you type AE ends automatically the text to fill the area as it does in Photoshop.

    I start by clicking on the small icon at the top right of the palette character and then select Reset the character at the bottom of the list.

  • Why apply a paragraph style let substitutions sometimes? How to prevent this?

    Sometimes when I apply a paragraph of a text style he chooses replace some attributes, making me have click on the button "ignore substitutions" constantly. If I tell indesign to apply a paragraph style why it assumes that my intention was not to implement also the font weight or other random attributes? I can't seem to find the reason for it or how to prevent it, your time and cause errors of formatting if I missed something. Any ideas? No style of characters used in the document.

    Thank you!

    If you want to remove manual replacements you must hold down the ALT key when you apply the style.

    And for the local formatting, you must use character styles.

  • Script will not apply the paragraph style

    Hello

    I'm new to scripting in InDesign (CS3), and I'm trying to understand why the scipt below does not apply a style in the following text file? :

    < ASCII-WIN >

    < ParaStyle: Heading 1 > who are we? < ParaStyle >:

    For ease of reading, I have shortend the text file to just two lines.

    The script that I use to open and to format the text file is:

    Create a new document.

    myDocument var = app.documents.add ();

    Set the units of measure and the origin of the rule.

    myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

    myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

    myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;

    Get a reference to the first master spread.

    var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);

    Get a reference to preferences on the margins of the first page in the Master spread.

    var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0) .marginPreferences;

    Now set up the page margins and columns.

    myMarginPreferences.left = 4;

    myMarginPreferences.top = 70;

    myMarginPreferences.right = 70;

    myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;

    myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 2;

    myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;

    The margins of page and columns for the right-hand page.

    var myMarginPreferences = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1) .marginPreferences;

    myMarginPreferences.left = 48;

    myMarginPreferences.top = 70;

    myMarginPreferences.right = 70;

    myMarginPreferences.bottom = 78;

    myMarginPreferences.columnCount = 3;

    myMarginPreferences.columnGutter = 14;

    Adding Master Page items

    var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0);

    var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);

    var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);

    var myLeftFooter = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();

    myLeftFooter.geometricBounds = [70, 742, 728, 528];

    myLeftFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

    myLeftFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;

    myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;

    myLeftFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;

    var myRightFooter = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();

    myRightFooter.geometricBounds = [48, 742, 728, 542];

    myRightFooter.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

    myRightFooter.contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;

    myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .pointSize = 11;

    myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .leading = 14;

    myRightFooter.parentStory.characters.item (0) .justification = Justification.rightAlign;

    Adding master text frames

    var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (0);

    var myRightPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item (1);

    var myLeftTextFrame = myLeftPage.textFrames.add ();

    myLeftTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 70, 714, 528];

    myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

    myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;

    myLeftTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;

    Add a label to make the image easier to find later.

    myLeftTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";

    var myRightTextFrame = myRightPage.textFrames.add ();

    myRightTextFrame.geometricBounds = [70, 48, 714, 542];

    myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;

    myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 3;

    myRightTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnGutter = 14;

    Add a label to make the image easier to find later.

    myRightTextFrame.label = "BodyTextFrame";

    Link the two frames using the nextTextFrame property.

    myLeftTextFrame.nextTextFrame = myRightTextFrame;

    The substitution of Master Page points and adds text

    var myTextFrame = myDocument.masterSpreads.item (0).pages.item (1).textFrames.item (0) .override (myDocument.pag es.item (0));

    Add text by setting the contents of the insertion of a string.

    In JavaScript, "\r" is a return character.

    .silence myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item (0) = "dok\r";

    Adding and applying a paragraph Style

    var myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("title 1");

    try {}

    var myName = myParagraphStyle.name;

    }

    {} catch (MonErreur)

    //The style of paragraph don't have not exist, so create it.

    myParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.add ({name: 'Title 1'});

    }

    We need to create a color. Check if the color already exists.

    myColor var = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");

    try {}

    myName = myColor.name;

    }

    {} catch (MonErreur)

    //The color have not exist, so create it.

    myColor = myDocument.colors.add ({name: 'Green', model: ColorModel.process, colorValue:[100,0,100,0]});})

    }

    Now set the formatting of the paragraph style.

    myParagraphStyle.appliedFont = "Arial";

    myParagraphStyle.fontStyle = "Bold";

    myParagraphStyle.pointSize = 24;

    myParagraphStyle.spaceAfter = 24;

    myParagraphStyle.spaceBefore = 24;

    myParagraphStyle.fillColor = myDocument.colors.item ("Green");

    Apply the style to the paragraph.

    myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphStyle (myParag raphStyle, true);

    You can also use:

    myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item (0).paragraphs.item (0) .appliedParagraphStyle = //myParagraphStyle;

    Import a text file

    Display a standard dialog box open the file to select a text file.

    var monFichierTexte is File.openDialog ("choose a text file");.

    If you selected a text file, and if you didn't press Cancel,

    Place the file of text on the first insertion point after the title.

    If ((monFichierTexte! = "") & & (monFichierTexte!) (= null)) {}

    myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1).place (myTextFile);

    }

    Place a graphic

    Display a standard dialog box open the file to select a graphic file.

    var myGraphicFile is File.openDialog ("choose a graphic file");.

    If you have selected a graphics file, and if you didn't press Cancel,

    Place the graphic file on the page.

    If ((myGraphicFile! = "") & & (myGraphicFile!) (= null)) {}

    var myGraphic = myDocument.pages.item (0) .place (myGraphicFile);

    //Since you can place multiple graphics at once, the place method

    //returns a table. For the graph you have placed, get the first

    //item in the table (beginning of JavaScript arrays with element 0).

    myGraphic = myGraphic [0];

    //Create a style object to apply to the graphic image.

    var myObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.item("GraphicFrame");

    try {

    var myName = myObjectStyle.name;

    }

    catch (MonErreur) {}

    //The an object style have not exist, so create it.

    myObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.add({name:"GraphicFrame"});)

    var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;

    var myTopMargin = myDocument.pages.item (0).marginPreferences.top;

    myFrame.textWrapPreferences.textWrapType = TextWrapTypes.boundingBoxTextWrap;

    }

    I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey, Ron.

    The problem has nothing to do with your script. You can see if you attempt to place the file from indesign tagged text by hand.

    Your instinct for divide and conquer for debugging is a good - have a short text file to work with is very useful - of course this is also true for the script.

    During the validation of the scripts on the forum, please do not use the syntax insert > feature Java which lies behind the > arrow in the toolbar. Otherwise, cut and paste your script are difficult requiring manual corrections.

    Anyway, your problem is that each paragraph can have only a single paragraph style, and it's the last one that you define.

    So in your IDTT file, you set the heading 1 paragraph style, enter the content of the paragraph and then set the style of paragraph votes to zero.

    If you have included a line break before setting the style of paragraph votes to zero, you must set the None style for the following paragraph. But since you have not, it resets just the style to the current paragraph.

    In short: success back before .

    I'm not well-versed in indesign, but what I've discovered, is that the box around the page number on the master was wrapping text, which was originally my text to break around her at the center bottom of the pages.  Problem solved, and amiellemiel is right.

  • Video running backwards when you apply LUT for the film Red 6 k

    Video upsets when we apply the LUT at 6 k red footage. Any thoughts? Also LUTS are not accurate color. Do not know what is happening.

    It seems that I can't happen again. It's a knockout is more upside in gpu accel or only the software. I fixed what it is rather than specify the SG where were my luts, I took the lut and installed in lut speedgrade file. Now he put on backwards. Must be a bug when you point to a LUT folder.

    The much bigger problem I had from the beginning, it's SG slows its unusable with some of the main LUTS I use. I use LUTS OSIRIS a color vision and they totally paralyze SG. I will make a change and it takes about 2 minutes to see the change take effect. It also happened when I tried 2 TITAN gpu in my system with 6 GB of VRAM. This work immediately in Davinci Resolve but SG dislikes them. Any chance there is a way to solve this problem on your side or mine? I use these all the time.

  • Fonts Typekit works not when you access the site through go daddy domain forwarding.

    Let me start by saying that I am a complete nube. I have a limited knowledge of the terminology and the way that the web works but I'm learning. I have CC, has created a site for a friend and used a typekit fonts. I downloaded the site to my hosting account as a "subdomain" of my website to test and everything seemed to work very well. Once I felt that everything was ready to launch, I went to my account of go daddy friends and did his estate on the site. The site loads very well and all the fonts appear ok except one typekit fonts that I used. When you access the site directly (as a subdomain on my site, example: www.mypersonalsite.com/myfriendssite) I see typekit fonts in all its glory, however when accessing the site of the field pointed no name, no typekit fonts. Very confused. I was under the impression that the two methods to access the site will take you to the same place and yet they net of different results. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hey Danny,

    Web of Typekit fonts are served only for the specified domains to publish on time. You need to specify explicitly field of your friend when the site is published.

    The website URL (s) on the ground in the Upload FTP host and export as HTML dialog boxes take in charge several entries separated by commas as in www.mypersonalsite.com, www,myfriendssite.com

  • How to avoid overwriting the italics when you apply paragraph styles?

    First of all, let me say thank you to the community of Adobe's Forum for the great help over the years! You Rock! 9 times out of 10 you nail!

    OK, so I have a long document full of italics, bold and accents. Successfully, I imported the text in MS Word and kept these text features using the import options. But now, when I go to apply paragraph styles, the italics are lost. Is it possible to implement paragraph styles so that they maintain Roman, italic, bold and also special characters like accents? Thank you!

    Hi David: I just put upward (and record) queries for search/replace that I of course after you import all text. For example, I have one that is italic in the document and it goes to a character called italic style. Once I saved queries, it is very fast to run on all the stories at the same time. And once the local formatting is managed through character styles, it is intact by assigning paragraph styles.

  • FM 10 crashing when you apply the conditional text tag

    Hello everyone.

    For some reason, the FM crashes when I try to apply a conditional text tag to a table (full table). Funny thing is that I did this same thing for three months now without any problem before today, have even two tables in the same document with different tags that are applied to them and that they work correctly.  But when I try to add it, I have a crash. I restarted my computer and made sure all my drivers are up to date, but now I'm at a loss.  Any help?

    Thank you.

    > I select all rows in the table with the mouse, then...

    What happens if you apply the CC to just the anchor of the flow table has.

    When you're conditionalizing an entire table, just the anchor of marking is generally easier and in your case, may be more stable.
