• Change language script does not work with groups of styles

  I get documents CS5.5 in which paragraph styles are presented in groups. When I run this script http://forums.adobe.com/message/1913197 , it only works on the paragraph styles that are not in groups of styles. Can someone help me?

  This is because there is a difference in scope between 'paragraphStyles' and 'allParagraphStyles' (lists all paragraph styles (regardless of their group)).

  So changing:

  myStyles=myDoc.paragraphStyles;
  

  TO:

  myStyles=myDoc.allParagraphStyles;
  

  should do the trick (not tested with the script in the linked thread).

  It goes same for section character styles:

  //myStyles=myDoc.characterStyles;
  myStyles=myDoc.allCharacterStyles;

• Synchronizing groups P-Style?

  Hi all!

  I have a book (.indb) which contains 10 chapters (10 files, .indd). After a rough layout of the chapters, I went ahead and gathered all my styles p in one of the chapters. When I went to sync 'book', it took all the styles p I placed into groups and put them outside their perspective folders. She also did not create and/or transport on these records of group for the other chapters.

  Is it possible to synchronize groups p-style through all the chapters so that they are compatible? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

• Remove groups of styles

  Hello! I have about 400 Indesign documents that have all of the 29 groups of paragraph style I need is no longer. Is there a way to delete these, as well as of their content, with a script? All style groups a group of corresponding character style that would be fine if it were to be deleted also.

  Greetings from Records,

  Mikael home

  Try this,

  var myInddFileList = File.openDialog ("Choose the InDesign files to remove Paragraph Style Group..." , "*.indd", true);
  for (var f = 0; f < myInddFileList.length; f++)
  {
      var myInddFile = app.open(File(myInddFileList[f]));
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myParaGroup = ["paragroup1", "paragroup2"]; //mention your paragraph style group name here
      var myCharGroup = ["chargroup1", "chargroup2"]; //mention your character style group name here

• FindChangeByList script question, re: when a style is part of a group of style

  Hello

  I use script FindChangeByList InDesign and run into a problem.

  Here's the line of problem:

  grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Text").paragraphStyles.item("Body2.TextIndent"), changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

  What I'm trying to do, it's each paragraph in shape with the style called "Body2.TextIndent" which is in my style sheets in a group called "text".

  This line does not work for me; I get a JavaScript "Error #17.". Error string: the variable name expected. »

  Please note that I CAN get this line to work just fine if I use a style that is NOT in a group. For example, this line works very well for me:

  grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:"Body2.TextIndent", changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

  The problem is apparently that the FindChangeByList script does not like style groups. I found it by internet Google and found this link:

  http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/thread/index.Lasso?17986

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you.

  What version of InDesign are you using?

  The following line works for me on CS3, Mac.

  grep     {findWhat:"^."}     {appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Text").paragraphStyles.item("Body2.TextIndent")}     {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true}     //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

• How quickly apply a style that is located in a group of style?

  I'm just trying apply a style to a table cell. Imagine myRow has been set for the row in the table, I work with, and My Fancy Style is the cell style that I created in my InDesign document.

  myRow.cells.item (0) .appliedCellStyle = "My Fancy Style."

  apply apparently this style quickly and without fuss. But now, if I created a style Group called fancy Styles through the InDesign user interface, and put my cell Style fancy inside, so I don't know any way to call directly as a string of text. It is possible somehow as:

  myRow.cells.item (0) .appliedCellStyle = "Styles of fantasy / My Fancy cell Style ';"

  of course I know does not work. I ask if there is a way as to make what I hope. Thank you!

  Why not just

  myStyle = app.documents [0].cellStyleGroups.item ("fancy Styles'). cellStyles.item ("Fancy cell Style");

• Group character styles-

  I can do a group of character styles which is not only available when I create a new doc, but will also be open whenever I open any document? I have hundreds of files to take care of and wonder if there is a way he practices instead of loading a document every time.

  What you want is a script. It would create all the styles you need in one shot and put them in the currently open document. It would be easy to write script. I suggest that you send a message to the forum script ID!

• [JS InDesign CS3] Style groups, Caprice in colors! (or: how to make the styles of paragraph and character off groups style?)

  Sorry for this question (and my terrible English, incidentally), I'm a javascript noob and I know when I reached my limits.

  Well, I'm taking a set of paragraph and character style groups styles, they are placed in hundreds of InDesign documents (which cannot be regarded as a book). As much as I've tried (thanks to the invaluable help of previous messages in this forum), I was able to move a style to a group and change its position within the group, inside root-level, or between the groups. But it is not matter how I try, I don't know which move reference should I try in case I want to take each style outside the style group and place them after their original level group, folder style [Root].

  I tried:

  var doc=app.activeDocument;
  var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
  
  for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
       var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
       for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
  // Here I am, trying to move a style outside the folder that contains it, and failing miserably.
            pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pGroups[i]);
       }
  }
  

  He did not, the script has sent an invalid parameter value in the reference field, so I can't use the folder of the group itself as reference.

  Tried (obviously false) alternatives, such as the first available style using as reference. So my second script was

  var doc=app.activeDocument;
  var pStyles=doc.allParagraphStyles;
  var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
  
  for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
       var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
       for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
  // Now I try placing the styles after the [Basic Paragraph], that is, the second paragraph style in the document style list 
            pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pStyles[1]);
       }
  }
  
  

  It did not work either, another invalid parameter in the reference field. Similar results with my other attempts (I even tried "[Root]" as literal with similar luck).

  So my question is: what command (or script, in case my approach is quite wrong) should I use to accomplish my goal?

  Thanks in advance to those who decide to spend more than a minute thinking about my humble worries and my apologies for some of your lines of code Ripper shamelessly for my purposes.

  Well, tried a few things and I really weird results!

  1. you can move a style within its group.

  2. you can move a style to one group "to" the other, but it will appear "inside" of this style. I got my style of test as a subdivision of [standard paragraph], using index #1. By the index 0 # InDesign ([no paragraph Style]) crashed.

  3. you can duplicate the style, but then you get a copy of the same group. Still no luck.

  4 finally! What is the parent of a paragraph style?

  Document | Request | ParagraphStyleGroup

  'Application' is easy - it's when you do a global style. So, what's the difference between 'Document' and 'paragraphStyleGroup '? Single - well, when you get finally he...

  pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
  

  move the style out of the Group and at the end of the list in the document. I don't think it's possible to move directly to a specific position in the main style list - you first need to move a group, then move it around in its own list.

  Fortunately, he returns his new position as a definition once again, if necessary, you can use

  newStyle = pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
  newStyle.move (LocationOptions.AFTER, pStyles[1]);
  

  -I haven't really tried this possibility, but it should work.

• script to replace a paragraph style with a different styles, both within a folder

  I am trying to write a script that will remove a paragraph style or character and then replace it with another paragraph or character style, both are in a folder within these groups of style. I have tried so many different scripts and that you have not found the right combination to work.

  any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  To target a paragraph style that is in a folder, you will have to tunnel to him through groups of styles, thus:

  Style1 = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("Group1").paragraphStyleGroups.itemByN ame("Group2").paragraphStyles.itemByName ("myParagraphStyle");

  Then find the second style (one you want to replace by):

  Style2 = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("GroupA").paragraphStyles.itemByName ("AnotherParaStyle");

  Simple and then remove the first style, replace it with the second:

  Style1.Remove (Style2);

• Help: apply different styles of Pará to several consecutive paragraphs using the script

  Hi all

  I need to apply different styles of Pará to several consecutive paragraphs using the script, something like this (found somewhere on the net):

  myDoc = app.documents var [0];

  mySel var = app.selection [0];

  var myPStyle1 = "A";

  var myPStyle2 = 'B ';.

  you need to add 6 styles here:

  var myPStyle3 = 'C ';

  var myPStyle4 = "D";

  var myPStyle5 = 'E ';

  var myPStyle6 = 'F';

  var myPStyle7 = "G";

  var myPStyle8 = 'H ';

  the last style is not necessary in the script?

  apply style 1 paragraph 1

  mySel.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle1);

  apply styles to the paragraphs after selection

  style 2

  mySel.paragraphs [-1] .insertionPoints [-1] .appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);

  next style

  mySel.paragraphs [-1] .insertionPoints [-1] .paragraphs [0] .insertionPoints [-1] .appliedParagrap hStyle = .nextStyle myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);

  I tried a lot, but could not find the way to extend the sequence

  Sorry, no skills in the scripts still...

  all styles have "Next Style" option enabled, but I can't use ' apply style, then next style "or object styles, because I need four different sequences of these paragraph styles:

  A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H

  A-B-D-E-G-H

  A-C-D-F-G-H

  A-D-G-H

  and I don't really want to create special clones of the same style for each sequence (Keep It Simple, they say ).

  I think that this can be done through four slightly adjusted scripts...

  any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

  Sorry to be late to the party, I usually take up such things immediately.

  How about this one?

  1. no separate necessary script, it uses a small dialog box where you can choose what style to use. If I'm not mistaken, you can press a digit key on Windows to immediately select one of the items.

  2. it works down in the paragraph in that your cursor is located. It has nothing to do with the blocks of text, even if - consecutive paragraphs within a story always ignore the text frames.

  3. extensible: you can easily change the names of the styles in the table at the top of the page and the number of groups of style in the list.

  var styleLists = [
            [ "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" ],
            [ "A", "B", "D", "E", "G", "H" ],
            [ "A", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H" ],
            [ "A", "D", "G", "H" ]
  ];
  
  var radiobutts = [];
  
  styleDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"Set Multiple Styles",canCancel:true});
  with (styleDialog)
  {
            with (dialogColumns.add())
            {

• [AS] [CS3] script find/repalace with style groups

  Hello world

  I've been struggling with this problem for a while and hope someone can enlighten us.

  I'm trying to use applescript to run a series of queries to search and replace.

  For example:

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
  paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences
  font style to find value text preferences 'italic book '.
  style character applied to change the value text preferences 'italic book '.
  tell document 1
  change the text
  tell the end
  tell the end

  This works great except if the document contains styles within groups of styles, in which case, I get an error saying

  "Adobe InDesign CS3 has been an error: invalid value for the set of"applied paragraph style"property."

  String, style section or anything, but received the "text". »

  If you do the find/replace manually, the paragraph style text (hand) indicating that the text is inside the hand of the style group.

  How can I specify it in the script?

  Thank you!

  InDesign is forgiving if you specify your style just in name, but in the case of groups of styles, be more specific.

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

  -paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences

  the value applied paragraph style to find text preferences for the paragraph style "Text" of the paragraph style group 'Hand' of the active document

  end say
