How to create the paragraph style

Hi guys

We create a teaching manual in line with the definitions in the glossary. Our advertising design definitions are indented text and a colored bar on the left hand side to highlight the definition. The bar should automatically resize if the text wraps to a new line. We cannot think of a way to create this as an object or paragraph style in Indesign CS5. We would appreciate really a few ideas on how to do

InDesign has unfortunately no feature to allow a rule to scale depending on the height of a paragraph. You could use a very short, very thick section NET and a style for each length of line for your definitions. This will mean proofing text in order to ensure the right model is used throughout. The text, the width of the column or the editing style can easily cause the number of lines to change in several paragraphs, proofing will be crucial. This method will also depend on the width of a coherent column. If the width of the column varies somewhat, new styles will be necessary.

You can also use a picture for your definitions. Add a column beside the column of main text for bars, makes it as close as you want the bars to be, then fill it with the color of the line. That the text grows or shrinks, the line height is more or less narrow, forcing the line to keep to the desired height. Place text will be more difficult that way, but adjourned for lengths of line won't be necessary.

  • How to change the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only one anchored object?

    Hello

    I have a document in word that should be converted in indesign. The document contains instructions, each step followed by an image.

    I managed to import the document into Indesign and applied a paragraph with numbering style to everything (text, image).

    Now, how do I change the the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only an image? I need to get rid of the numbering.

    Thanks in advance.

    If the images are all anchored objects, you can use find/replace to find the anchor point and change the paragraph style only once for all paragraphs.

  • How to create a paragraph style that I can change the space between the paragraphs of return?

    Sample.jpg

    Yes, and you can see the additional empty paragraphs. You must use find/replace to delete (there is an application integrated in the drop-down list in the dialog box).

    If you need space between, you'll need to have styles of paragraph two, one for the name of the company and one for the address info and hours. Apply space before the name or space after the address.

  • 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!

  • Where is the paragraph style tools in Indesign CC2014?

    Hello! I just started to use IDs through creative cloud on a new computer (using CC CS6 for two years), and the installer gave me rather than CS6 CC2014. So it is a question only on CC2014.

    Where is the window paragraph styles? Specifically, how can I edit, create and organize the paragraph styles, and how do I get a window up on the main screen with all stated styles? All these things were easy to find in CS6, but I can't find them in CC2014. The only thing I get (and with a bit of customization). is a drop-down list on the main toolbar, which allows me to choose from among the existing options on an existing document.

    There is no option of paragraph Windows Styles > Styles.

    There is no option under Type of paragraph Styles.

    The only paragraph window that appears is designed for text editing as you go along, don't not to apply styles.

    Using the options all point me back them to the entrance for CS6 and tell me to go to Type > paragraph Styles (which does not exist).

    I can't get a window up on the main screen to instantly apply styles in a list. I only get this drop, which has no other options.

    Can someone tell me some updated guidance or explain where all paragraph options are and how do I use them? If not, can I go back to CS6? It was easy and intuitive on the front, and now it's not...

    Thank you!

    Nothing has changed on the styles. It's exactly the same thing as CS6. Perhaps you need to restore your preferences.

  • Is it possible to change the paragraph style (none)?

    Whenever I make a bulleted list or a numbered list, I get a syle of fonts that we don't use in our project.  I tried to change this style, but it is grayed out.  All other styles allow editing.  How can I change this default style (none)?  I did a search in the file help and on the forum but have not seen any results.  It's too simple or others are ok with this style.

    Thank you

    The choice is to apply other styles like I did, or simply to set your LI style, which is the way of pure HTML. The reason why I do that you cannot map the tag LI for printed documents. I have just started the list, select the style that I want and that's all. It is an extra step.

    What is behind this change is that people complained that the code should be clean and now it is the case, people are aware there is a down side.

    When no style is applied, as zero, the police will be what is defined by the browser. Try changing the default font in your browser for some obscure fonts and generates output. What you'll see is this obscure font. Now see the same output to another browser with a different default font.

    You may not modify any as Willam explained. None means that no style is applied so that applies the default value of the browser. You will see may not be in Arial, the next person may see as something else. Modify a CSS sets styles you include in this CSS. You apply the paragraph styles or you don't, as in no style is applied that in none.

    Clearer now?

  • You can automate assigning a different color in the paragraph styles to each character?

    Hello

    I am trying to find a way to create a paragraph style that will apply a different color to each letter automatically (to avoid having to change each character by hand.) like this:

    Maybe it's not possible with styles, but if anyone has any other tips would be great. See you soon!

    If you want to keep the order of the colors in your RED letters > PURPLE > GREEN you have to exclude white space and choose 'Letters' instead of 'characters '.

    In your case after the Green letter 'Y', the next letter 'V' should be red, but it's Purple
