Hi Hasvi,

Use the code below.

var doc = app.activeDocument;

paragraphs var = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem ().paragraphs.everyItem () .getElements ();

var oldhmunits = doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits;

var oldvmunits = doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits;

doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

for (var i = 0; i)<>

{

If (paragraphs [i].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "EXT": paras [i].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "QUOTES")

{

paras [i] .spaceBefore = paragraphs [i] .spaceBefore + 2;

paras [i] .spaceAfter = paragraphs [i] .spaceAfter + 2;

}

}

doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = oldhmunits;

doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = oldvmunits;

Kind regards

  • Insert a blank space in the paragraph style?

    Is it possible to integrate a white space inserted (en character) in a paragraph style?

    I created a paragraph to chapter headings style. Chapter and number are centered horizontally on the page with a thick end line (key) on each side - a little like that, except that I use the dashboard to create the line in this example:

    -------------------------------------  Chapter 2  ------------------------------------

    Inserted white spaces before and after 'Chapter 2'.  However, when I try to apply the paragraph style to another title, the spaces are not there.

    (Line thin thickness was created as text underscore and the offset is vertically centered with the text.  It would make a difference if I created the thick end line in the form of a graph?)

    Oh and I also tried to create an object style, but it does not recognize spaces, either.  I know that something will work, but little by little learning has not met yet the solution.

    Thank you.

    Do it like this:

    1 make the high line a paragraph above net. Assign the 'Column' width (full) and set its vertical offset in right position.

    2. Add a paragraph below NET. Together, this upright even shifted, but makes a little (or a lot) more thick. Set its color [Book]. Set the width of 'Text', not 'column '. Then set the negative value of the width approx. white space you want on the left and right - something like 'mm-2' the left indent and right.

    3. you're done!

  • Problem with the paragraph style "paragraph NET."

    I have a paragraph style with a paragraph in her net. There is something that I don't know what to do about it.

    When I hit 'back' to move a paragraph with this style, it leaves a rule in its wake. Here is a screenshot:

    Screen shot 2010-08-15 at 9.58.04 AM.png

    The title "Introduction" has a paragraph with a net of applied paragraph style. I put the cursor just before the word 'Introduction', press return, and it leaves a line in the previous line. Weird huh?

    Don't use not paragraph refers ALWAYS to put in place a space between paragraphs. Use the space before or after the space in the paragraph in withdrawal and spacing Style.

    If it's the beginning of a block of text and you want it to appear lower in the frame adjust them the object > text frame Options and give him a Medallion from the top. OR this way http://indesignsecrets.com/push-down-the-first-line-of-text.php

    The line of paragraph appears is because when you press back the paragraph he the same paragraph style, ergo the same paragraph style. To get rid of it, change the paragraph style from the paragraph above to something else.

    But you shouldn't really use back to add a space between paragraphs. Space before and after the space are much more effective.

  • Color of the paragraph Styles is not overridden CS5.5.

    I have some documents and I have a few Styles to paragraph (PStyles) I load in the latest documents.

    I have some who are in fact PStyles within a Table. 2 small problems; I can live with the first:

    1. It does not actually load the PStyle formatted correctly;
    2. Once I have format the PStyle as I want, the PStyle coloring does not replace the text that I assign. For example I have orange text, I then choose PStyle 1 (orange), the font is changed to the correct font type but the color does not change.

    It is certainly a fault?

    Make sure that all of the text in the paragraph of style [none] has also defined as the style of his character. You could have a paragraph style with the filling of text defined on orange and a character style with a black fill applied to all the words in the paragraph. In this case, the text would be black.

    Alternatively, you can substitute the paragraph styles. If this is the case when the text is selected, a + sign appears in the paragraph Styles Panel, next to the name of the style.

  • 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.

  • Modify the paragraph Style Export Options of marking

    I'm having a devil of a time trying to get the "Split Document (EPUB only)" box checked for certain styles. I was hoping a perhaps experienced scripter be able to help me solve what I am sure is an easy solution.

    Below is my code snippet:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var par_styles = doc.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .getElements ();

    for (var i = 0; i < par_styles.length; i ++) {}

    par_styles [i].styleExportTagMap.splitDocument = true;

    };

    In this example, I would get the Document Split box ticked for each paragraph style in my document. However, apparently the paragraph style does not support the class 'styleExportTagMap', which is the only place where I found that the property 'splitDocument' lives.

    I guess that my ignorance is not knowing exactly what made the class styleExportTagMap (s).

    Could someone point me in the right direction?

    Looks like a hack, but it works.

    var
        doc = app.activeDocument,
        par_styles = doc.allParagraphStyles,
        i = 0;
    
    for ( i ; i < par_styles.length; i++ ) {
        par_styles [ i ].styleExportTagMaps.add ( "", "", "", "" ).splitDocument = true;
    }
    

    Hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Apply the Master Page by using the paragraph Style

    Hi all

    I am a beginner in the script. Learn the script through tutorials cs3 scripts.

    According to the paragraph style it automatically applies the master page.

    For example:

    Paragraph style = "CT".      To apply the Master Page = 'A-Master '.

    Paragraph style = "PT";       To apply the Master Page = "B-Master".
