• Add style to large block of text without affecting existing styles within this text

  Hello! First post here.

  I have a long text document which for the most part, has no attached text styles (it was a mistake). However, there are a large number of stylized breast text boxes.

  Is there a way to select all of the text and apply a style to the text without style without affecting the existing styles?

  Doing so by hand by text block text block would take a very long time.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  THX!

  What do you mean by "text without style? There must be a definition, anyway.

  Like others, [no paragraph Style] and [standard paragraph] are available, too.

  

• default or any text in a character style sheet

  Hello

  I'm trying to style text using paragraph and character style sheets, I built. When I create a new text box and import text from a Word file, all the text I have import default values to one of my character style sheets. Before importing the text, I have check the cursor inside the empty box and the paragraph style is standard paragraph and character style is 'none '. Yet, when I import text, it is always default to a specific character style I created.

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Check your paragraph styles to see that you do not use the nested styles or GREP styles except when you need it. You can have a nested style that does not turn off the coast.

  While your description indicates this isn't the problem, it is worth checking. There is a bug in InDesign, where it applies a default character imported text style. You set the default character style by selecting a character style while no text block is selected and that you not change any text. If there is a default character style, click None for the value None as the default character style.

• ID CC 2015 crashes as soon as I (try to) apply the paragraph style to the text.

  I work on a Mac Pro (mid-2009), OS X 10.10.4, 16 GB of RAM

  Currently subscribe to Adobe CC 2015, using InDesign with last update

  I have been working for several days on a long paper (paper) and have developed 12 paragraph styles, using two fonts - Garamond first Pro and Helvetica Neue LT and the document has facing pages.

  Yesterday, my client (the author) has asked all text flow on the odd pages, for illustrations on all pages, so I did all the text boxes thread directly downward of pages on the right (odd pages).

  The first three chapters were style before I changed the threading of text box. Now, when I open the document and begin to apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the text (nine more chapters, which automatically adopted the style of main text as soon as I stuck in the newly-threaded text boxes), ID crashes when I highlighted a section of text and click a paragraph style.

  I checked the permissions and preferences. The only thing I can think is from the document from scratch.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thread the text boxes only on odd pages cause the problem, since it does not have facing pages?

  Thank you.

  There could be corruption in the document.

  Save the document with IDML and reopen the IDML in InDesign.

• How can I request a specific to a specific text character style?

  Long user date Photoshop and Illustrator. New to Indesign.

  Fortunately, this is not a matter of knowing how to create fractions. I have already chosen a route for it. I simply apply a character Style who ticked "fractions" of opentype.

  Here is an example of the content that I treat:

  

  Above is my table style in Indesign, after pasting in the data me be given data in excel spreadsheets.

  How can I quickly apply my style "FRACTIONS of ptable_BODY" to only some texts, such as: "1/2" + 1/4 "+" 1/8 "& preference random arbitrary fractions like" 34/69"?".

  GREP can do great things, but it can selectively apply character styles?

  Maybe it's a job for a paragraph style. I'm not sure.  . .

  Do it with a GREP search:

  \d/\d

  which means: one or more digits, a /, followed by one or more

  figures.

  And replace with your chosen tank style.

  However, some OpenType fonts will do this automatically if you enable

  the option of OpenType fractions. But I see you know who.

• [AS] [CS6] Apply different styles in the context of a text

  Hello

  Currently I have an AppleScript script to fill a block of plain text with a series of chains:

  say MyTextFrame to define (content of the history of the mother) to MyText1 & MyText2 & MyText3 & MyText4

  I would like to apply a different style (MyStyle1 to MyStyle4) for each of these channels (MyText1 to MyText4).

  Precision: MyTextI strings can contain a word or a paragraph or more, so I can't apply a style to a paragraph, for example.

• InDesign CS3 - apply the style to the selection no longer works!

  Your English is very good.

  The first thing I would try replacing the InDesign preferences. It seems to me that if you have repaired permissions of Mac files, but have does not replace the application preferences themselves. On Mac, the fast lane is close ID, then restart and IMMEDIATELY (almost instantly) press and hold the control + Cmd + Opt shift keys while the application starts. You should see a dialog box asking to confirm the replacement of preference. If you don't see the dialog box, you were not fast enough with the keyboard.

  You can also do a manual replacement. Look for the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (these are probably hidden, but it will be in your user library) and just rename, move or delete. ID will create a new set at its launch. This has the advantage that you can recover your customizations by moving the prefs old return in the case where replacing them does not solve your problem.

  Things you lose are non-standard styles default and shades, which can be re-imported from a document that uses and document presets and a printer that can be saved from the dialog boxes "Set" before replacing your prefs and reloaded after same dialog boxes.

  Edit: I see while I was busy typing Eugene was busy looking at the picture more closely I have and gave the real answer. Good info on the replacement of prefs, however, if you need it in the future.

• [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.

• apply text styles to chained text frames

  Hello.

  I went 2 blocks of text in order to have 1 text that flows from the first to the second.

  I noticed that now I can't edit or apply new styles of text... is this true?

  Thank you

  You will need to manually select the text if the frames are threaded.

• Apply the style nested up to one of several characters

  I d-i-d try this old College, but maybe I don't know the right place or I am limited in nested Style in style GREP.

  I have a number any unpredictable predictable characters I want to apply a style CH "up to".

  Example 1: The Club of InDesign in the Future meeting, 15:30: here are some examples of text...  Here is some sample text...  Here are some examples of text--in this case, "up to" colon
  Example 2: The Club of InDesign in the Future meeting, 15:30 - here is an example of text...  Here is some sample text...  Here are some examples of text--in this case, "until" space hyphen

  Example 3: The Club of InDesign in the Future meeting, 15:30 - here is an example of text...  Here is some sample text...  Here are some examples of text--in this case, "until" space hyphen hyphen

  Example 4: The Club of InDesign in the Future meeting, 15:30, here is an example of text...  Here is some sample text...  Here is some example text--in this case, "up to" any character (comma) [of course, there is an argument in this one]

  There are 5-6. predictable samples.  But nested Styles stacked on each other tends to "BOLD" of the whole paragraph.  A js script would be more applicable here, or do you think the GREP style work?  I missed (even with my books on GREP) to any type of nail model.

  How do you tell the difference between the first and the second comma in the meeting, 15:30? They are all two followed by a space. PM maybe a clue? Then ^. +? pm\s [:-]-? might work.
