How Referance groups paragraph Style in the Code?

How reference to a paragraph in style Group before a paragraph style in the code? My "Heading 1" paragraph style is in a group, called "headings".

myStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("Heading 1");
myStyle.appliedFont = "Microsoft JhengHei";

Richard:

I build a large number of files Indesign containing the tag text, and this is an example of what I am at the beginning of the line when the style is located in a group.  The style name is "AGBoldCtr" and it is located in the group "xSports."

American League

In the code, I create a variable for a style to a group like this:

var PPHead = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("xSports").paragraphStyles.item ("AGPPHead");

Then, I attribute PPHead variable of a paragraph as in:

app.activeDocument.selection [0] .paragraphs [iLoop] .appliedParagraphStyle = PPHead;      //

    You can get the behavior very buggy if you aren't careful with moving paragraph styles!

    Either way, the right way to move from a paragraph style is like this (you will need to edit the code below as well as p becomes a reference to a real paragraph style):

    d = app.activeDocument;

    p = / * some paragraph style in a group of para-style * /.

    The following line move p in paragraph style out of his group and in the list of paragraph styles in the document d

    p.Move (LocationOptions.UNKNOWN, d);

    Thank you!

    I've been there. It was a long time ago, but I still remember the confusion and despair.

    First, know that you will survive and ask what was the hang up. If you are a special person, do you promise never to forget what was the hang up, then you can help others when it is time to pay back the community.

    Think about how things work without paragraph styles. When you want a paragraph to look a certain way, regardless of the software you have used to work with text, you select ("highlight") some text and look for ways to style it (check its appearance, or 'attributes' or 'features' or 'features'.) You choose a font (Helvetica, Times, etc.) weight ("BOLD", extra bold, light), a color of text, an angle (italic, Roman), the space between the lines ("leading,") space between paragraphs (space before, space after,) and so on. Without named styles, you must select each property in a menu or a list when the text is selected. The next time that you want this same paragraph look, you can recall everything you did and repeat with newly selected text, or you can copy and paste one that looks, then change the text inside.

    However, it does take long to realize that he has to be a way to save these settings and pull them up and slap them on the other selections, with a few clicks and make sure that you don't forget to do something. Creation and registration of collection of a paragraph of the property settings are called "define a style." Software for manipulation of more modern text can save paragraph styles that apply to full paragraphs, and they can also save character styles, which apply to parts of the text in a paragraph. A paragraph of normal text can be used a style called 'body '. You can select a bunch of miscellaneously style paragraphs and apply the body style for them with a single click on the paragraph styles list.

    If you decide that you would like the body to look different style, you can redefine, and all paragraphs in the active document using the body style change to show the look of the new definition.

    In a body paragraph, you can have same bold italic bold text and italictext and so on. You can always select text in a paragraph and find a menu that offers characters bold or italic in the selected text. But you can also create a character for each of these apparitions style and apply them to music. As for paragraph styles, character styles are more controllable and more useful than simply highlight and apply a property. If, you use a character style that applies "BOLD", you can change its character style definition and all the places it is used in a document will show the change.

    Here is an example which shows the usefulness of the styles of characters named:

    According to the standard style for writing guides that have been developed before computers, scientific names, the words of the foreign language in a host as the English language, the titles of the documents, movies and poems and a few other things are supposed to be italicized. With character styles, you can create and apply styles of characters for each category of text in italics. In this forum, * sapiens, The Pentagon Papers and Gone With the Wind, all look the same, but with character styles, styles, named 'scientificName', 'bookTitle', and 'filmTitle', can distinguish between texts in italics. Sometimes, you gotta be able to treat these things differently, and styles is a way to keep them organized.

    Most writing tools can create a style named for the existing sample. So, if you have customized a paragraph for your body text, you can use InDesign to set the body of the paragraph in the example chosen style.

    Google search for terms like 'InDesign create the paragraph of the selection style,' "InDesign redefine style', 'Create a character style, InDesign' and"InDesign tutorial character and paragraph styles."

  • How can I edit a paragraph style in the Muse?

    Is it possible to change a font or other details in a paragraph in Muse style sheet? I tried to reproduce the style, and then, when I delete an old, I replace it with a new one. Is there a more direct way to do?

    Hello

    If you create a paragraph style, and then change to any attribute, the style has a substitution. If you want to keep this substitution and redefine style click the button to "redefine the selected style of attributes" (highlighted in the screenshot).

    If there is no room for THE 3 styles of paragraph at the bottom of the text box is there a way to force them to move to the next text box WITHOUT moving the text box that they sit in?

    In the paragraph for each paragraph Style - select sequence Options and choose "keep with next paragraph".

    This should force paragraphs to always stay together.

  • Apply to a Style object that defines the style of paragraph and 'paragraph style' to the text block with another block of text?

    I am trying to automate the application of styles in a brochure. Each image has a name, title, telephone, email, city... style paragraph.

    Can I apply an object style that instantly sets the styles of each paragraph. However if I have the linked text boxes, the style of the object does not seem to affect the block of text, or one of the text boxes. Is there a way to get around this?

    I just looked upward: this feature is limited to "simple, smooth text frames."

    I'm sorry.

  • ID CC 2015 crashes as soon as I (try to) apply the paragraph style to the text.

    I work on a Mac Pro (mid-2009), OS X 10.10.4, 16 GB of RAM

    Original hard drive is 1 TB (where applications are installed), second drive (designated as working drive, and where all the work files are housed) is 2 TB.

    Currently subscribe to Adobe CC 2015, using InDesign with last update

    I have been working for several days on a long paper (paper) and have developed 12 paragraph styles, using two fonts - Garamond first Pro and Helvetica Neue LT and the document has facing pages.

    Yesterday, my client (the author) has asked all text flow on the odd pages, for illustrations on all pages, so I did all the text boxes thread directly downward of pages on the right (odd pages).

    The first three chapters were style before I changed the threading of text box. Now, when I open the document and begin to apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the text (nine more chapters, which automatically adopted the style of main text as soon as I stuck in the newly-threaded text boxes), ID crashes when I highlighted a section of text and click a paragraph style.

    I checked the permissions and preferences. The only thing I can think is from the document from scratch.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thread the text boxes only on odd pages cause the problem, since it does not have facing pages?

    Thank you.

    There could be corruption in the document.

    Save the document with IDML and reopen the IDML in InDesign.

    This looks like a bug. We will fix it in the next public release. In the meantime, you need to specify the meaning to the elements of the list directly instead of using a paragraph style.
