• Using paragraph styles with numbered lists having paragraphs "child."

  Hi all

  I wanted just a checking the direction of your InDesign experts.

  When I create a numbered list when there are paragraphs separate 'child' who "belong" to the paragraph numbered list real (see below) how do I use paragraph styles for formatting the list?

  Currently I apply a style numbered list to each of the bold numbered paragraphs and just a style of body text indented paragraphs of the child. Is this fair?

  3.1 it is a topic but also a part of a numbered list

  This is the text that goes with the above heading

  This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

  3.2 it comes is a topic, but also part of a numbered list

  This is the text that goes with the above heading

  This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

  3.2 it is a topic but as part of a list numbered

  This is the text that goes with the above heading

  This is another paragraph which goes hand in hand with the above heading

  Also, is there a power automatically apply a style to the last bullet in a list (as with the last CSS child selector) so that I can have a small space after each of my balls except the last one where I would want a larger space.

  Is this fair? Yes. And if you want the style of paragraph number somehow, each model numbered to give his name to the list.

  The styles will be applied by you. To get the last point in space after, add this attribute to its own paragraph style, perhaps also giving it a keep with previous keep option.

  Or give more simple, perhaps the paragraph numbered line style certain amount of space before as one of its attributes under withdrawal and spacing.

• How to use paragraph and character styles properly?

  I have a document in which the text has two colors (which has no style)
  

  Black (normal) and Red (to highlight the keywords).

  I needed to put these 2 in a style

  (black) paragraph style

  (red) character style

  Here's my question.

  How can I make sure that when I use the paragraph style, she also uses the style of character but only on the Red words?

  While I need not find/replace every word manually

  I want to do at once.

  If you want to add styles to a document already created:

  (1) create your character style that contains only the color of the characters

  (2) search and replace a text with red color search and replace with the new character style formatting. (Do not type anything in the text portion of the find and Replace dialog box)

  (3) create and apply your paragraph style to all. The text with the applied character Style will stay red.

• How Referance groups paragraph Style in the Code?

  How reference to a paragraph in style Group before a paragraph style in the code? My "Heading 1" paragraph style is in a group, called "headings".

  myStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("Heading 1");
  myStyle.appliedFont = "Microsoft JhengHei";
  
  

  

  Richard:

  I build a large number of files Indesign containing the tag text, and this is an example of what I am at the beginning of the line when the style is located in a group.  The style name is "AGBoldCtr" and it is located in the group "xSports."

  American League

  In the code, I create a variable for a style to a group like this:

  var PPHead = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("xSports").paragraphStyles.item ("AGPPHead");

  Then, I attribute PPHead variable of a paragraph as in:

  app.activeDocument.selection [0] .paragraphs [iLoop] .appliedParagraphStyle = PPHead;      //

• How to add paragraph styles in mychange

  Hi all

  In the coding here is a lot to find and change. Now, I need mychange an extra change more with S2, i.e. one of the paragraph style applied. Please advice and see my code below.

  var myfind = ["(<display>)(.+)(</display>)", "(<verse>)(.+)(</verse>)"]
  
  
  var mychange = ["$2", "$2"]
  
  
  for (k=0; k<myfind.length; k++)

      app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = mychange[k];
      app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
  }
  

  Kind regards

  Assia

  Hope that I misunderstood your question, try this

  myFindChange('()(.+)()', '$2', 'display');
  myFindChange('()(.+)()', '$2', 'verse');  
  
  function myFindChange (findWhat, changeTo, paraStyle){
       app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
       if(findWhat)app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = findWhat;
       if(changeTo)app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = changeTo;
       if(paraStyle)app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = paraStyle;
      app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
       app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  }

• Help on using paragraph styles...

  When I create a paragraph of a bit of text style, paragraph style area picks him up and when the preview is checked it looks perfect, then when I press on apply, completely it messes up. The text reduced one, and sometimes it turns into itallics.

  Nobody knows the reason why this is happening?

  Thank you very much

  Sam

  I saw this happen when a character Style is applied to the text. Select all the text in a paragraph and character Styles palette, choose break link to Style, do the same thing in the paragraph Style palette (just to be safe), and then create a new paragraph style.

• Problem of numbered list in InDesign using paragraph Styles Code syntax highlighter

  Styles using GREP in the options of styles paragraph that I managed to make it useful, HTML, CSS, and Javascript, styles of syntax highlighter.

  Code can be copied and pasted, or can be typed and styles work well. .

  My only problem is with the numbering.

  I've implemented a character list ordered for my type of chip.

  Although the size of characters must be greater than the size of the code in order to get the character bar to connect and be a solid line.

  Is there a way to have the same size font for the numbering and the code and a bar of character which will connect? Do not be destroyed, because the separator between the numbered lines and the code?

  Also it doesn't seem to be a way to change the color or the weight of the bar (it must be the same color as the number) with a bar automatically generate? Is it possible?

  Here is an example of my InDesign CC 2015.4 German I did with a numbered list numbering and bar with a shading of paragraph:

  

  

  

  Note that the width of the 'bar' would change, if you change the width of the text block.

  5 mm added to the width of the text block:

  

  Or would disappear.

  The original text frame width less 5 mm:

• How to use the style grep for "BOLD" of specific characters in a name?

  Hello world

  I use InDesign CS6. The name of our company is Careington. We need to "BOLD" care in careington. I was doing this manually before I learned about grep styles. So I created a character "BOLD" style, then I created a style of grep with the following:

  Apply the Style: "BOLD"

  Text: Car [eington] / not mistyped.

  I tried care [ington], but he did only this eington of the car, so I had to type car [eington] to get this careington. I still don't understand why this is happening.

  Now it works as [eington], but for some reason, every time care is in itself or used anywhere (health care, care, etc.), it is "BOLD" as well. Not when he's in chargeington.

  Any ideas on how I can work this formula is more specific and unique "BOLD" care when he's with "ington.

  Thanks, Mike

  Appy Style "BOLD"

  text: Care(?=ington)

  It worked when I tested it

• How to apply several styles of one-sentence paragraphs?

  I'm using paragraph styles, but is not useful because I am applying 2 different styles in the same sentence that does not work.

  To make it work, I selects the sentence, apply the style, for example 'xfont-regular"then I select the word in the sentence that I want to have a different style and I choose in the list perhaps italic police so that it looks like 'something like this'

  Of course, in doing so, I lose all the benefits of the use of styles p and of course, it's so your time. Is it possible to break down the sentence, now in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and always keep the benefits to go just to styles and make the changes to the entire document that this style is applied.

  Thank you

  As Diane King mentioned, nested character styles may work for your need. His example was an initial capital of fall (multiline first one or several letters of a paragraph.) Dropped caps are a particular type of nested style - always the very first one or more characters in a paragraph, high on two or more lines.

  To use the general type of nested style, you must be able to identify the words in the paragraph which gets the nested character style. For example, the third word, or the first two words after the first semicolon. If there is no model of Word (s) that can be identified by the post office or the sequence, it is possible that a GREP style can be used to find a common pattern of characters and apply a style of character to it, for example a phone number, the date, or the amount of currency that is identified by a dollar sign book, or yuan.

  Search Help for InDesign and Google "Style nested InDesign', 'InDesign grep Style' and similar (without the quotes) terms for more details. There has been many discussions of GREP on this forum.

  Kind regards

• paragraph styles

  without valid reason I later move to really use paragraph styles. but I encountered a small problem. the document that I'm actually has a TON of garbage styles attached to it from the word document (which has an OCR would scan...). But right now, I'm going to have this problem when I try to apply styles for titles and whatnot, but the style is applied to more than what is highlighted, probably only indesign because I'm stressing only part of a "paragraph", and it's all 'paragraph', even if it is actually just part of a title. Is there a way for the UN-paragraphize things? For things before and after should not be the same style? Mac/CS6

  As a trainer, I am obliged to pop and suggest take you back and learn the two functions that are themselves Scrums first, and then you can return to your document and hit the ground running.

  Start with paragraph styles for formatting entire paragraphs:

  Then use character styles to change the text in the paragraphs:

• Paragraph styles question: is it me?

  Whenever I create or even try to apply a paragraph style in the ID, despite the size of the font, I indicated in the style, and whatever style I choose, my fonts appear on the page as 24 points. I tried to delete styles and start again, but no luck. It's stopping me from using paragraph styles and forces me to use manual formatting everything until I get this fixed. Could sure use some help!

  Check your character Styles palette. There must be a character active 24pt style. (By design) character styles replace paragraph styles. Character change none style, and that should fix.

• Script of the current paragraph style

  Can someone tell me what is the code to return the paragraph style for the current position of the cursor.

  Also I can I ask something to the current paragraph is not using paragraph styles.

  For example, what would be the code to "make the current text of paragraph Red.

  Help would be much appreciated as we see questions that I'm a complete Newbie in scripting.

  if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length === 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
       // return the paragraph style for the current cursor position
       alert("Paragraph style: " + app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name);
       // Make current paragraph text Red (the 1st paragraph in the selection)
       app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].fillColor = "C=15 M=100 Y=100 K=0";
