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!
N
Just set the property .appliedParagraphStyle on the whole story.

Hi all
I work in design and I created a style sheet that applies the list of numbers in the paragraph highlighted.
NOOW I am facing a problem. If the same style on the same page but for another paragraph he continues with the next number in the first list of numbers, as it actually should start with number 1.
Does anyone know how to start the next list of numbers with number 1 again even if I apply the same style of number again to a different point on the same page?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Quick fix:
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.
Repeat as needed for the following lists.

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.

How to apply an overall style to all tables in RoboHelp 8?
Is it possible to apply a style to table for all tables in a RoboHelp 8 project without doing table-by-table?
Indeed a nice feature, missed that one, thanks.
It seems that there is a limit, however, you cannot apply an overall style to table, line of the table, colum or cell in the Styles dialog box. It seems that the truly global application of a style to all classes of paintings at a time, is to add the definition of every single table in the Styles dialog box. It seems to me that you can only apply real global styles by changing the CSS directly.

To organize how to apply the same setting to all subfolders in a library?
I created a new library and included a simple 'root folder '. When you use Windows Explorer to view the contents (subfolders) in the root folder, I want all subfolders to be displayed with the same settings custom: arranged by updated (descending order), see details, set custom column widths (which I adjusted it), etc. But no matter what I try, I can't not all subfolders have the same settings.
I first tried to resolve one of the issues just like I wanted, thinking I could use the
option under arrange / folders and Search Options / View (rather that the way XP and W2k allowed you to make the changes then 'apply to all'). But this option seems to be disabled with the library. Then I scrolled down (in Solution Explorer) and saw the same folder - without going through the library. Yet once, I adjusted the settings to be just like I want. Then I tried to arrange new / folder Options & Search / View. This time, the
and options WERE available... but even after I first and then subsequently settings still don't are not captured by other files - even not records 'child' of one, I changed. Then, I went back to the library and tried to change the "type of optimization" from the general to the Documents... and then repeat all the steps described above. Still no joy... the bookstore seems determined to view all content "by the record" rather than how I want.
I lost a few hours now, trying to do this simple task - VERY frustrating! What Miss me?
Thank you
AdamIMO, this is not possible. You will need to individually customize the folder > subfolder > and so on and so forth...
The opeion "Apply to all" has the XP/Win 2 K will only be missed here!

apply the character style to all get a table row?
Hi chaps (and chapettes)
I have a table - on some lines, I need to change the style of character to "Bold".
How should we do about it in Javascript?
see you soon
Buzz
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.

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

How to apply the Style to some words in a paragraph (or table)?
I have a table with the #'s. Some numbers have a note marked with an asterisk.
For example:
A01-121600
A01-121602
A01-121608 *.
A01-121610
A01-121611 *.
And in this table, there are hundreds of part # s with some with reference asterisks scattered through. I wish that the asterisks to be red in color and a smaller font size. So I created a character style to reflect that.
So, my question is there a way to apply this new character Style to the entire table, then each asterisk is changed?
Thank you.
The find/replace field allows you to apply a character Style to all the text found.
Another option: If all the text in your table is formatted with a paragraph Style, you could add a GREP style to add this character Style to all instances of an asterisk in the text of this paragraph Style. This way, if the new numbers of the asterisk was added later, the asterisk turns to Red style automatically.

Apply a table style to all tables in the document
I can't find a way to apply certain style of table for all tables in a document of p. 200.
Specifically, clear any formatting within the cells (cell and replacements styles) would be a plus. All tables must have a unique look with a header cell style preset and style of cell in the body properly defined by a table style.
All, even partial-help tips will be appreciated because they can save me time.
I can't believe there is no way to do as other more complicated things are possible using find it & change don't function, for example objects, GREP, you name it.

This javascript will apply the table Style "tabs" to all the tables in the entire document and removes the replacements the (I'm not sure that this will happen automatically when you apply a table style). You set the header & body styles in the style of your table, and they should be applied automatically.

Copy, paste into a text editor (Notepad; TextEdit in plain text mode. best is the editor ESTK delivered installed with InDesign). Save as "ApplyTableStyles.jsx" in your own folder User Scripts, and it will appear in the Scripts panel. Double-click it to run it, and then sit down and relax. -
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...");

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.
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "A";

How to apply the strategy of UCS1.4 collection (1 d)
Hi all
I try to collect statistics on the performance of the network. but do not know how to apply the policy to the collection.
Service profile, I cam see political Stats. But within the political framework of Stats, there are onlu available in config/choice is political threshold.
Can someone help out me? Thank you very much!
I think this is what you are looking for?
UCS stores the past 5 statistics records at the "Reporting Interval" setting;
There is no configuration to change that number. You can put this interval out 8 hours but then you only get a snapshot every 8 hours. Trending or history retrieval would require an interval based extraction and storing application that utilizes the UCS XML API.This is a link to the UCS XML API information.
