• 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.

• 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.

• How can I apply a character style to a sentence that has a '&' in there?

  Thank you for your help.

  Try------(see Figure [\d,&]+\) (not tested).

• Replace missing fonts by character style

  I placed the text from Word into InDesign and in paragraphs, there are here and there words that are in italics or bold italics. In the font I use, there are no italic or bold italic. I would like to replace these two styles of missing fonts by a character style [in which the text is asymmetrical] in one or two steps, without having to apply the asymmetrical character style Word by Word. When I try to use «Find the police...» ', InDesign only allows to replace a font missing ("David Italic' in this case) with a different font altogether. I want to use the same font ('David'), simply apply the character style where the font is missing. How can I apply a character style where the police don't lack - in one or two steps?

  Thank you.

  Nevermind - I figured it!

• Character Styles panel not refreshing after adding character styles

  Hello

  Anyone know how to get the Illustrator character Styles Panel to refresh after programmatically adding new styles by calling CreateCharStyle()?

  Currently, the user must save the document and reopen that Illustrator refresh list of character within the user interface style.  This is obviously not ideal.

  You can reproduce this problem in the code example running the snippet text SnippetRunner and then Styles running of the extract from CreateCharacterStyle.  Also successfully, this code example adds a new character style but is unable to update the Panel character within the user interface Styles.

  
  A note: the AIATECurrentTextFeaturesSuite has an Invalidate() method.  I tried to add this call, but he don't seem to have any impact.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Peter

  This was a bug in Illustrator since the new text engine was introduced. That I produced it as a beta bug in at least two versions, but no luck in getting it still not fixed

  If you want to give the panels a kick, try the kATEDocumentResourceChangedNotifier with the AINotifierSuite of broadcasting. In my opinion, that's why it update.

• 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 to effectively use character Styles

  Hello, I am fairly new to InDesign, but have extensive experience with FrameMaker. I can't know how better to use character styles to card of identity, because of the difference between her and FM.

  Lets say I have two text styles different bodies that use different fonts or different sizes, each is saved as a paragraph style.

  In Framemaker, when you go into the character Style Editor, for each value you can select the value "such what." So if I want to do a character style "BOLD", I leave the police and set size attributes on "like what" and I change only the weight to the "BOLD" attribute.

  Now, I can choose the body text 1 or 2 for the paragraph style body text and if I want to "BOLD" one word, I just highlight the word and select the character style "BOLD". The text is bold, but everything else that is unique for what remains of paragraph style. If ever I need unbold the word, I can just select it and then select No Style in the character Style catalog

  But in the ID, it looks to set the value of each attribute in the character Style Editor. So I would need to create two styles "BOLD" separate, one for each paragraph style, because if I set the font and size, it will pass these values as well as the weight. And if I need to create a separate "BOLD" character style for each paragraph style in which the default font is not bold, what is the advantage of using character styles? Why don't just highlight the text and select the value "BOLD" to the character palette, which then changes the paragraph style just for these words in bold you?

  In InDesign, leaving an empty frame is the equivalent of "as-is." A character style "BOLD" can function as you want; Simply set the Style of font for "BOLD" and leave everything else intact.

• 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?

  The path is:

  Create hyperlinks using a single destination and sources;

  // sources are each occurrences of text with charStyle "link" applied
  
  var mDoc = app.activeDocument;

• How to apply a character Style that has already been made in a document model?

  First of all, I would like to thank everyone who helps. I am a complete newbie to the script and appreciate your help.

  I mainly use GREP expressions to search for patterns in a document and apply a character Style that has already been done. This character style did not help script, but just in InDesign when the production and implementation of the model.

  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
  
  
  //Clear the find/change grep preferences.
  app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  
  //Set the find options.
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
  app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
  
  //GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+\n";
  
  //Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
  app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
  app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
  app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
  myDoc.changeGrep();
  
  //Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
  app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  

  This is how I currently. I will manually define the changes made to the text. The problem is, each model uses a different set of fonts and not all use them "BOLD", for example Sabon can use THIS "BOLD".

  I would like to know how to apply a character Style and tried to look, but nothing seems to work.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• How to apply the character style to table cell

  I'm sure it's basic, but I can't find any references on how to do it and my attempts have failed.  I use VB and CS5.5

  Basically what I'm trying to do is to select a table cell and apply a character like this style...

  MyCharacterStyle = myDocument.CharacterStyles.Add set

  myCharacterStyle.Name = "TH2".

  myTable2.Cells.Item (1) .appliedCharacterStyle = "TH2".

  with this code, I get a "object does not support this property or method.  myTable2.Cells.Item (...). appliedCharacterStyle ".

  I tried several other versions without success.

  Can someone tell me what would be the proper syntax to apply a character style to text in a table cell, or if it's still the right path to follow on that?

  I have to select the text in the cell rather than the cell itself, and if so, how do you do that?

  Thank you

  You do not need to select the text in the cell, but you need

  to target rather than the cell. It is true that in the user interface, you can

  Select the cell and apply a style of tank, but not with a script. Thus, in

  JavaScript is:

  myCell.texts.item (0) = .appliedCharacterStyle

  app.activeDocument.characterStyles.itemByName ("MyCharStyleName")

  It must be something similar in VB also.

  Of course, you can target the text in different ways:

  myCell.characters.everyItem () or myCell.paragraphs.everyItem () etc etc.

  but I think that the text is the most basic of the lot.

• 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].
  		   

• Rotate the text with the character within the text block style

  I would like to apply a paragraph or character style to a certain character in a text frame. I would need to rotate 90 degrees in the framework, separate from the other text. Is this possible?

  Insert the text block in the block of text as an anchor and rotation you need.

• You can move the inserted text to a different location on the picture, if yes how?  How can I put the character and the Panel clause up in the photo shop when you type test?

  You can move the inserted text to a different location on the picture, if yes how?  How can I put the character and the Panel clause up in the photo shop when you type test?

  Yes.  I find it easier to type text, and then use the move tool (shortcut V) (looks like an arrow) to place it where you want.

  To bring up the character and paragraph panels go to WINDOW > CHARACTER or WINDOW > PARAGRAPH.

  I hope this helps.

• How to add a character style in the active document

  var myCharacterStyle;

  var myCharacterStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.add({name:"c"});)

  myCharacterStyle.strikeThru = true;

  myCharacterStyle.strokeColor = 'Black ';

  myCharacterStyle.add)

  There is not much to say about your code. Only the last line would cause a problem. A possible hiccup is also on the fact that the style may already exist when you want to add.

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

  var myCharacterStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.item ('c');

  ! myCharacterStyle.isValid & myCharacterStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.add({name:"c"});)

  myCharacterStyle.strikeThru = true;

  myCharacterStyle.strokeColor = 'Black ';
