How to copy the formatting of the text already in an indesign document?

Hello everyone.

I'm still pretty new in indesign and am self-taught so feel I missed some of the small tools that make life easier.

Such a problem that I'm having is that when I import text in my brochure, I create, I need to format the same as the rest of the text in my project. Y at - it a simple way for me to copy the style of formatting in the rest of the document, or do I have to choose the specific font, color, size and justification, every time I import a new text?

I know, in Microsoft word, for example there are a specific button that copy the formatting of a section of text to another, is there a similar kind of button in indesign?

Thank you

You can use the Eyedropper tool to copy type attributes. But you are probably much better learn to use paragraph Styles and apply them systematically. In this way, when you need to make a change, all your paragraphs will update in levels.

  • How to remove the text areas of a scanned document

    How can I remove a plethora (sp?) of the text areas of a scanned document?

    Hello JBreeden,

    More scanned documents cannot be changed, unless you have a software that can read digital information. The scanned document is just a picture of the item that you have scanned. You must have a software like OCR (optical character recognition) to be able to make changes to the digitized item.

    Thank you

  • How to clear the text changes in a PDF Document

    Hello

    I work in Adobe Reader DC and had previously entered several changes in a document via the complete Adobe & signature tool/feature. I need to delete some of the text entered earlier in the document, but when I return to the fill & sign tool or function, it allows only hit me on the text changes / existing.

    My question is this: how to erase or delete previously entered text changes / in a pdf document and enter the new text/changes?  Thanks in advance for your support in this matter.

    Bernd,

    Thanks for the quick response. There are several sections in the document as the required signature and I signed electronically these sections. So I'll assume that since I already signed the document, I can't apply alterations to his text entered correct?

    Thanks again.

  • With pellets W510, how can we simulate a right-click of the mouse to 'copy' the text?

    Were you successful in highlighting a text in the Tablet, but having to use the application 'menu' to 'copy' the text, and then "Paste"? I found it is not easy with a Tablet and messy. Were you able to highlight text, and then simulate a right mouse button pressure and don't use DO NOT the menu function to 'copy' and 'paste' your text desired? If you did that, then I would like to hear from you! Kindly tell me how you did it. In case I don't come here very soon, U could please send a copy of your response to: [under the direction of privacy] Thank you!

    Of course, it's easy! Just hold the touch for a few seconds until you see a finger of yor box surround. When you release the button, it will give you the context menu.

  • CS6: create a simple extension: how to copy the selected text in the extension?

    Hello

    with this tutorial http://www.DWfaq.com/Tutorials/Extensions/simple_object.asp

    I created a very simple extensions in Dreamweaver CS6.

    But I can't find out how to get the code/selected text "in" this extension.

    I want to reformat the selection with the javascript code for the extension and replace the selected text.

    Thank you!

    Thank you very much for your answer!

    I didn't know the difference between these two methods - my google search for 'extension' led me directly to the old tutorial mentioned...

    And, Yes, I had to search long enough to find the 'object' extension on the fly on the menu...

    Now, I adapted the code referred to in the dreamweaver_cs5_extending.pdf for the creation of such an extension of command - and, wow, it works... with 'copy' the text selected in the extension form.

    So, thanks again! Now I'm on the right track

  • How to copy the parameter FDM (import format, mapping of dimension, the command table)

    Dear all,
    How to copy the parameter FDM (import format, mapping of dimension, table of control) of application to another application.
    I found that one dimension mapping can be imported. Is it possible to copy the FDM application quickly?

    Thank you for your help

    If you get a chance try the following script, it is so simple and easy to extract all the map as XML data and help to import via import script.

  • Copy the text in the field to other areas in the same PDF format?

    Is it possible to give the user an option to copy the text entered in certain areas to other areas in the same PDF? I want to do it is because I have the user fill in several fields of address (address, city, State, zip) and I have another section to ask a physical address (address, city, State, zip). I would like to users the ability to click on a button (?) to automically fill in the fields of physical address if the address is the same.

    Thank you

    Derek

    Here's a line of code that copies the text from the text field to the other. You can use it in the mouse event to the top of a button and add as many lines as required:

    // Copy value of one field to another
    getField("text2").value = getField("text1").valueAsString;
    

    Replace "text2" and "text1" with real field names that you use.

    Hello, can I ask how to copy the numbers after the period/asterisk to another cell and then add up all the numbers copied without having to type them.thank you

    Hi mirijin,

    Break the problem into small steps:

    Step 1. All separators (periods and asterisks) convert the asterisks.

    Formula in B2 (fill down)

    = SUBSTITUTE(A2,".","*")

    Step 2. Find the position of an asterisk in each cell.

    Formula in C2 (fill down)

    = FIND("*",B2)

    Step 3. Extract everything to the right of the asterisk.

    Formula in D2 (fill down)

    = RIGHT (B2, LEN (B2) −C2)

    Step 4. Convert the text to numbers re using the VALUE function.

    Formula in E2 (fill down)

    VALUE = (D2)

    This table has a header row and footer of the line, so the SUM in E9 apply to all cells in the body.

    = SUM (E)

    You can combine the individual forms in a unique and complex formula, or simply to hide intermediate columns B, C and D:

    Kind regards

  • AS3, ID3: Find a table on a page to copy the text it contains

    In my script, I need to go to a table on the current InDesign page and access the info inside by simply copying the text of the entire table. I know that there must be sort of extremely easy to do, but how? The cells in the table all use the same paragraph style, and the table is in the block of text has a label. I find the paragraph style, then somehow, refer to its parent company or something?

    Little tricky for me seems to say my script to find table on the page and selecting, because as soon as I can do, I guess I can just change the table to access all the data of the text.

    I am using Applescript in InDesign CS3. Thank you.

    If the text block is labeled "Blah", you can get the table with:

    Table 1 of the text block "Blah".

    If you ask:

    contained in table 1 of the text frame "Blah".

    You will get a list of the content that appears in each cell.
