• Generate list of a document text paragraph/character styles?

  Hello. Does anyone know how to generate a list from a text paragraph/character styles?

  Nothing at all? Use a script! This JavaScript does the trick:

  myFile = File.saveDialog("Store this data, where?", "Plain text:*.txt");
  if (myFile == null)
   exit(0);
  myFile = File(myFile.fsName);
  myFile.open("w");
  myFile.writeln ("Character styles");
  myFile.writeln ("================");
  for (a=1; a
  Copy, paste it into a text editor (the editor ESTK which accompanies your InDesign is good). Save it as "storeStyles.jsx" in your Script file. When recording in the right place, it appear automatically in the actions panel. Double-click it to run it.
  Both character and paragraph style tables start the counter to 0, but the first character style is always "[None]", and the first paragraph of the styles are always "[None]" and "[standard paragraph].
  		   

• My paragraph styles have disappeared and are now appearing as the character styles

  Working on a new site because my old site muse become buggy...

  and now, my paragraph styles have disappeared and are now appearing as the character styles

  

  Thank you for sending the files. One of the files does not contain any character or paragraph Styles. In the other, I see the character styles named as paragraph styles. All indications from within the file are that they were created as character styles. The file format includes indications of the type of the style as well on everything that they are applied and in the list displayed in the palette. All of these styles are indicated by styles of characters in both places. The attributes that are in the styles are limited to what is allowed in a character style.

  In some places where the styles are applied, they are applied to the blocks of text or widget and replacements parts for paragraph-level attributes (i.e. h1 tag, space before and after, etc.). This leads me to suspect that they have can be created from blocks of text pointer tool selections (or other elements of text in widgets) and it was perhaps accidental that they have created using character Styles where paragraph Styles Panel rather than the Panel?

• 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.

  Hi Liphou,

  .silence is indeed a property of type string only disregardingly of styles, anchor frames and other animals.

  You prefer the use of object methods and duplicate stories. However styles can be substituted with the target document. If you can load styles before the duplication of the text.

  var main = function() {
      var doc, st, tempDoc, f, tf;
      if (!app.documents.length
          || app.selection.length!=1
          || !app.selection[0].properties.parentStory) {
          alert("You need to select text or text frame");
          return;
      }
  
      doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      if ( !doc.properties.fullName ) {
          alert("Please save file first !");
          return;
      }
  
      st = app.selection[0].parentStory;
      f = File ( doc.fullName );
      tempDoc = app.documents.add();
      tempDoc. importStyles ( ImportFormat.TEXT_STYLES_FORMAT, f, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE );
  
      tf = tempDoc.textFrames.add();
      st.duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, tf.insertionPoints[0]);
      tf.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
  
  }
  
  main();

• 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(...

  (Have you used another programming language Javascript front?) A matter of concern for the future: pay attention to your statements 'var '. They do not follow the block scope, as they do in other languages, and therefore persisted in this notation is very likely to bite you back somewhere in the future. Summer, done this, released as well the hair).

• 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

• CS6 ePub "document Split: from paragraph tags Style Export.

  I tried to find how to set the Option Export ePub "document Split: from paragraph tags Style Export" using javascript. It doesn't seem to be part of the epubExportPreferences, as

  myDocument.epubExportPreferences.breakDocument = true;

  Sets the stop on [standard paragraph] document. I can change it for another single paragraph quite easily, but not what I need.

  I'm probably looking in the wrong place, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

  My code is here (that works, but does not define this option): https://github.com/makeBetterEBooks/eprdctn/BLOB/master/DBW_ePubExport.jsx

  Thank you!

  I found the answer earlier, but thought I'd post here for those seeking on the other.

  You must set the name of style paragraph to an empty string:

  myDocument.epubExportPreferences.breakDocument = true;

  myDocument.epubExportPreferences.paragraphStyleName = "";

  Then it will break on the plates for export.

• Analogy for paragraph vs character styles?

  Hello

  I have a level of proficiency in InDesign, and I'm always confused when I have to use paragraph or character styles. I like to use analogies to help me understand the complicated things. Can someone crafting an analogy to help me understand the difference between the two and when should I use one or the other?

  Thank you!

  Paragraph styles for formatting paragraphs.

• 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

  Hi all

  I am trying to create a character style that will basically 2 things:

  -make a white Word

  -place a blue box around the word

  It's easy to do with paragraph nets, but those who do not seem to work with character styles (?)

• 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.

• The different paragraph of distinct character style formatting

  Hello

  In my paper, I have bunch of paragraphs and each begins with the name (two or three words). Character style is applied to each name. Now, I want to add the paragraph after each name of each mark is so in its own paragraph. Of course, I can do it manually, hitting enter after each name, but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way through search/replace or perhaps GREP.

  Thank you!

  Try this on a copy to be sure, but I think finding ^. + and set the format to find the character style, and then change to $0, you can also set the change of any character Style Format and a new paragraph Style that is applied by the character style formatting.

  This will probably leave you with a space at the end of the paragraph, or the beginning of the next. The location will depend on if the style is applied to the space. If this is the end of the paragraph, you can use find find ^(.+) (\s) and change to $1

  If it's at the beginning of the next paragraph, in my opinion, you need a second query, Find ^ /s (leave find it empty format or the value initially attributed the paragraph style) and do not fill the field exchange.

• Apply OverprintFill option for all paragraph and character Styles

• How to use paragraph and character styles properly?

  I have a document in which the text has two colors (which has no style)
  

  Black (normal) and Red (to highlight the keywords).

  I needed to put these 2 in a style

  (black) paragraph style

  (red) character style

  Here's my question.

  How can I make sure that when I use the paragraph style, she also uses the style of character but only on the Red words?

  While I need not find/replace every word manually

  I want to do at once.

  If you want to add styles to a document already created:

  (1) create your character style that contains only the color of the characters

  (2) search and replace a text with red color search and replace with the new character style formatting. (Do not type anything in the text portion of the find and Replace dialog box)

  (3) create and apply your paragraph style to all. The text with the applied character Style will stay red.
