How to fix the indices or false exhibitors, made with basic changes

Hi all.

There is a script on the Forum used to convert locally formatted to character styles - styles script to keep formatting local and CS4

It's a brilliant script, but as I suddenly discovered (and would have discovered if I read the post more in detail) are that no 'rigged' sub/exhibitors created with basic travel do not work. To quote the other thread:

The script search attributes such as 'exposing', 'index', 'small caps '. If the small capitals are rigged in the document with marquees in a smaller font, the script won't find them. If the exponent or index is rigged in the document with a smaller font size and a vertical offset, the script won't find them.

Initially I didn't this would never be a problem... I thought "that Devil would be a hint or an exhibitor how? wouldn't they just click on the buttons on the index or superscript? » ... Unfortunately, no!

I thought that a solution would be to do a GREP which could be added to a findchangebylist script bundled with InDesign. First thing to do would be to create a GREP to find any positive base change and change it by exposing. and a GREP for search all negative vertical offset and replace it with a clue. Sounds simple... until I tried to implement, as the dialog box will not take a + or - in itself... There must be a correct value.

Everyone has faced this problem, and if so, what was the solution and results?

Colin

OK, this last forum link I referred to as she had the thing... kind of. Just had to modify the script that was used.

The script below will find all vertical offset greater than 0 and apply a format local Exhibitor; and any reference pass less than 0 and apply a local index format.

for (var j = app.activeDocument.stories.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
myCharacters=app.activeDocument.stories[j].characters.everyItem().getElements()
var color = myCharacters[j].fillColor.name;
for (var h = myCharacters.length- 1; h >= 0; h--) {
  if (myCharacters[h].pageItems.length < 1){
      if (myCharacters[h].baselineShift > 0){
           myCharacters[h].baselineShift = 0;
           myCharacters[h].position=Position.SUPERSCRIPT
           }
      if (myCharacters[h].baselineShift < 0){
           myCharacters[h].baselineShift = 0;
           myCharacters[h].position=Position.SUBSCRIPT
           }
      }
   }
}

From here, the good ol 'preptext' script allows then track down the sub/supers and apply styles of character appropriate for them.

Hope others find it useful.

  • How you update the document in your model agreement with all changes made in Adobe sign?

    Hello

    I successfully Setup Adobe sign in my sandbox SFDC, created templates with merge mapping and mapping of data... it's all coming together nicely.

    I start sending an agreement, click on "Preview of the signed document or position fields", update all the fields in my agreement (define the length of field, drop down / drop-down list of values... etc.) and send my agreement must be signed. My question is: how to upgrade the document in the model to account for all of the updates I just did this document/contract? I do need to update the fields whenever I send the agreement?

    As long as a Salesforce administrator I was looking for in Salesforce for the answer, but I didn't know that you can add templates to Adobe sign on the dashboard. Once you add a template, you can change all the fields of the form (and the formulas, rules of validation... etc) from the tab 'manage '.

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

  • How to fix the microphone in Compaq Presario R3000

    Original thread title - how to fix the microphone in Compaq Presario R3000?

    Hello
    I have a laptop Compaq Presario R3000, and I tried to use Skype on it. Problem is that the other end can't hear me. I tried all the suggestions on the site of Skype to try and attach the microphone.  I tried the recorder (click programs, accessories, then entertainment to access), but when I record my voice, nothing, so I guess it has something to do with the microphone. Just to be sure - this model has an internal microphone? What I've read, it seems that it does. I downloaded the updated drivers, so I don't think that's the problem. Any suggestions? I'll try anything now, because I spent about 6 hours online trying to get the microphone to work and so far, nothing. Thank you! Patti

    Hello

    1. What problem is only on Skype?

    2. were you able to use this microphone earlier?

    3 have there been any changes made on the computer before the show?

    Nadia. PA supporter said that your computer is hacked. He may be right. I can't weigh because I don't know what led him to this conclusion. If your computer is hijacked, then you should address that more that you need to fix this minor update. However, under the resolution of your problem to update, you can try this:

    Assume Windows XP

    Check the C:\Windows\System32\ directory for the presence of the file tzchange.exe

    If the file is not present or if the version of the file is not 5.1.2600.6171 or newer...

    Download the update appropriate 2633952 for your platform here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2633952

    Run with - extract switch (e.g., Start > run > "[path to the downloaded file] \WindowsXP-KB2633952-x86-ENU.exe"-x)

    Of course, replace [path to the downloaded file] with the path to the downloaded file.

    Citations may or may not be required depending on the path. Place the x - out the citations if you use them.

    Choose a location for the extracted files (a new folder is recommended)

    Locate the extracted files. File tzchange.exe you want and copy it into C:\windows\System32

    That rerun Windows Update detection to see if the problem is resolved.

  • G530 - how to fix the Novo key features?

    Hello guys!

    Some time ago I completely changed partitions configuration on my laptop, because I wanted to have two systems - Windows 7 (the default) and Ubuntu. Previously, I had an image of the LENOVO_PART (partition Lenovo recovery) by Paragon and burned on DVDs. Its contain images (a recovery key 7) OKR - mbr, boot partition and system (with default settings) file that contains information about the partition sizes and sectors. I deleted all the partitions and create new partitions.

    Now I want to restore the original scores, so I restored the partition recovery DVDs, and I put his ID 12 (PTEDIT32) and rebuilt the other partitions on the accuracy of a sector.

    Now, I have the following partitions: 1 - start (default is unnamed), 2 - system (default is unnamed), 3 - Lenovo, 4 - LENOVO_PART. Unfortunately the Lenovo System Restore does not start once I pressed the Novo key, so I put the active recovery partition and I can't restore the original mbr, boot, and system. Everything would be fine, but the Novo key doesn't work, then press start the normal system of Windows 7, not the recovery system.

    Could someone tell me how could fix the Novo key without the Lenovo service features?

    BTW, sorry for my bad English

    It should work properly. It seems that there is something wrong with the a key.

    at this point, I suggest you call lenovo support line and ship your laptop.
