• How to write the script to apply the character style?

  Hello

  I'm on a Macbook pro and without a numeric keypad, so I can't assign a shortcut to character styles. I heard a roundabout solution where you can assign a shortcut to a script that applies the character styles. Can anyone write this script?

  My character style is called "features"bold. "

  I am new to scripting, sorry if this is a stupid question.

  See you soon

  Hello

  1. save this code as a file inside your Script Panel folder .jsx

  2. apply a shortcut using the menu Edit: shortcuts...

  Option to choose:

  • suggest you choose an option 'background': 'Text', so you can use several shortcuts that are occupied in other contexts.

  #target indesign
  if (app.selection && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baselineShift") ) {
    var cName = "Features bold";
    var mCstyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(cName);
    if (mCstyle.isValid)
         app.selection[0].applyCharacterStyle(mCstyle);
    else
         alert ("CharStyle: " + cName + " not found");
    }
  else
    alert ("Some text supposed to be selected...");

• 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.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) table = table.parent;
  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";
   }
  

  ... but when I try to select an entire line, I get the error 'Object does not support property or method' texts. "" "When I try one of the following two codes.

  {
   table.rows[0].cells.texts.appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";
   }
  

  {
   table.rows[0].cells.appliedCharacterStyle = "none report";
   }
  

  Anyone know how I can do the following?

  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

  3. apply the character style to specific columns (with theexception of the cells of two albums)

  Thank you!

• 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.

• 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

• 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

  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

• Is it possible to add text to the cells and apply the character style in the cell

  I work in InDesign on Mac 5.

  I have two tables of formatting with information that will be eventually combined. I implemented the scripts I found on these forums to add the columns needed, merge lines and fill the cells merged with the appropriate color, but can't two remaining tasks.

  1. is it possible to add text to a cell of some?

  2 and it is possible to apply a character style to cells? (different cells than those that I need to add some text)

  I played with this code but do not know if it is even close...

  {

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0]. InsertText (' CS/PS");

  }

  {

  table. Rows [0]. Cells [0] .appliedCharacterStyle ("bold");

  1. If you want to add the text, go further in:

• [JS] [CS3] Apply the character Style to the first word

  I'm a noob that Javascript is concerned, and I expected a little guidance.

  Here is my scenario: I have a book that was composed in a single file; the main content is in a story. I want to select the first word in each block of text on each page and apply a character style. My goal is to use this character style to indicate the page breaks in the XML document - I maps to a specific tag style.

  So far, I have this poor specimen:

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;
  myPage var = myDocument.pages.item (1);
  var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item (0);

  
  If (app.activeDocument.stories [0] .paragraphs [0] .words [0]! = null)
  myTextFrame.paragraphs.item (0).words.item (0) = .appliedCharacterStyle
  myDocument.characterStyles.item ('foo');

  I know, I did not implement any kind of loop again (which will be more complicated given that there will be some blank backs, etc.). What I try to do in this is to select the first word in the first paragraph on the second page - which it does in reality. It's the first paragraph of the second begins on the first page, so I select that word on the first page, second page.

  As I said, a lot of work to do but a bit of help on getting to the right word would be most appreciated.

  Well, you were on the right track, but the "myText" test fails if there is no block of text on a page, because it fails a line earlier

  > var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item (0);

  just before that, you must test the number of blocks of text:

  If (myPage.textFrames.length > 0)

  {

  ... your stuff...

  }

  Use it only if you are absolutely positive that there is just a block of text on each page! A slightly better way would be to always loop on each textframe:

  for (frames = 0; frames

  {

  var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item (frames);

  .. etc.
  }

  in this case you don't have test his first length (the loop will not be executed if there is zero text blocks).

  [Grumpy] Since you have only a continuous story, an even better way would be to loop on texts related to this single story executives. You must identify the story somehow, and I usually click on the text cursor in the one that I need:

  monarticle = app.selection [0] .parentStory;

  or you can rely on the fact that the story begins as part of text on page 1:

  monarticle = app.activeDocument.pages [0] .stories [0];

  (I think this should work.) Then, each frame of the story until the end can be found in the table

  myStory.textContainers

  which are usually text blocks. Make a loop on them to help

  for (image = 0; frame)

  {

  myTextFrame = myStory.textContainers [frame];

  .. etc.

  }

• 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.

• How to apply the created style as a number of list twice but the new paragraph begins number 1?

  Please let me know.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Right-click / CTRL-click (to get the context menu) on the first line of the second number list and select Restart numbering from the list of options.

  I could use help to refine the expression grep ((Figure|)) Table | Graph)\s\d+\.\d+) below to include Figure | Table | Graphic that have a two digits after the decimal point.

  for example below works on "Figure 1.9" but not for 'Figure 1.10 '.

  In addition, the expressions shown in the image below could be written to include the pural of each word, if there is a reference to a series? the list below

  • Figure 1.9 and 1.10
  • Tables 2.3 to 2.7

  Have you thought about this?

  myRow.cells.everyItem () .texts [0] .appliedCharacterStyle = myChstyle;

  Does it work? The difference between this one and your function is that you avoid using the style of the empty cells c., which is not possible with the one-liner above.

• How to apply the paragraph style to all paragraphs

  Hi people,

  Simple question. New to JS script here (but so far love it).

  I am trying to apply a paragraph (myTextStyle) style to all paragraphs in a story.

  Right now, I set it up as follows:

  tabletDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item ("story").paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphSty (myTextStyle, true);

  Obviously, it's just the first paragraph - item (0)-, but no changes to the code it throws.

  Can I implement something to it or a beach (first to last), so it will apply to all of them?

  Thanks in advance!

  Just set the property .appliedParagraphStyle on the whole story.
