Hi Serjod,

You can try the following JS code, I hope that you expect at this!

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
//var myAllPStyle = myDoc.allParagraphStyles; if you want this enable a line all the folder paragraph styles also consider
for (i=2; i

Auto create paragraph styles and properties
 
			 
Dear all
I had created two styles of paragraph helps with script below. Now, I put all the properties in H1 (as basic character formats (police, font size, leading, monitoring, kerning, indent and spacing, tabs, paragraph rules, keep the option and all of the paragraph style Options).) It is possible to fix. I will totally have creat 60 to 70 styles.
Thanks in advance
The code is:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var array = ["H1", "H2"];
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i ++)
{
try {}
doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:array[i]});)
}
catch (e)
{
Alert ("'" + array [i] + "'" + "already exists in the document.")
}
}
Thank you

Hi ASHRAM.
It works very well here. Try again.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var array = ["H1", "H2"];
for (var i = 0; i)<>
{
try {}
If (array [i] == "H1") {}

doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: array [i], appliedFont: 'Arial', pointSize:12, attack: 15});
}
If (array [i] == "H2") {}
doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: array [i], appliedFont: "Servant", pointSize:10, attack: 12});
}
}
catch (e)
{
Alert ("'" + array [i] + "'" + "already exists in the document.")
}
}
Kind regards

absent the palette keyboard shortcuts paragraph styles
 
			 
I've upgraded to versions 2015 of my CC apps a few weeks ago. Everything seems to work fine, but keyboard shortcuts, I create paragraph styles do not appear in the palette as they did. Shortcuts in the palette show styles of character only. I don't see any option to show or hide shortcuts. Any way to turn them on in the palette paragraph styles?

Why paragraph styles did change his mind during a project?
 
			 
Using CS6 (CC), I am to convert a booklet our firm designed for Kindle. Since we would cut apart all of the text, and it has been published several times in the original, I'm cut and paste into a new document, implementation of brilliant new paragraph styles and essentially creating a clean export document.
However, some weird things happened along the way, the following:
1. a created paragraph style is "intro text". Based on 'no paragraph style', the black value Adobe Garamond, etc, etc. It works perfectly in all of the document except the first page. When I apply the same paragraph of its text style, the text shows quite differently (bright red, Meta). No substitution showing. Can I just retype the text and try setting up from scratch, but no idea why the same paragraph style that works on all other pages does not work here? (Screenshot showing the selected type and style that works everywhere else below.)
2. the book is indexed by section color, so the first section has all red heads/subtitles, next heads yellow/subtitles, etc. I created the yellow subtitle based on red, the color change in the "color" box in paragraph styles. Several pages in the second section, the style of Pará yellow subtitle abruptly changed his mind and refuses to do the subtitle yellow unless I have replace manually in the text box. Even if the yellow is shown in the color of the box (see example below), and although it worked perfectly for several pages, this style now refuses to act according to its parameters. However, this works perfectly if I apply it to another type of text where I don't want it to work (see example below). If the same paragraph style works differently when applied to a different text on the same page. (aaaarrrrrgh)
Everyone knows about this problem or questions, and what did you do to solve / them?
Thank you!
			 
Some of what you describe could be caused by the application of styles to characters in addition to the paragraph styles, but it also looks like there may be a few file coruption. See remove minor corruption by exporting and see if that helps.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Set of tabs in the paragraph Style
 
			 
Hi, I create paragraph Styles in JavaScript. I looked but couldn't find absolutely no info on the configuration of the tabs in a paragraph style.
I'm too tired? Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thank you
Ben
			 
Too tired, Yes must be
Add one to the tabStops property. Before adding your own, make sure it is empty (that is, if you don't want to add to an existing tab leader).
Not tried, but I think it's as easy as
t = myStyle.tabStops.add ();
t.Alignment = TabStopAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN;
t.leader = '?';
t.position = "3mm";
- or use 'PROPERTIES' to fix everything at once by tabstop:
myStyle.tabStops.add ({alignment:TabStopAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN, leader: "?", position: "3 mm"});
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Assign paragraph styles to xml tags correctly. How?
 
			 
Hello

I want to assign xml tags to paragraph styles in InDesign CS6 on a Mac 10.6.8. The XML itself is organized as follows:

<? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" standalone = "yes"? >
< catalog >
< article id '32434' = >
"< img href="/bilder/32434.tiff "/ >
< artikeltextgruppe >
< artikelmarke > DieselGabana < / artikelmarke >
< artikelheadline > super Jeans ist < / artikelheadline >
< artikeltext > Superjeans knallt kidney. < / artikeltext > < number > 70238 < / weight >
< artikelmaterial > 100% Jeans < / artikelmaterial >
< artikelgroesse > UK < / artikelgroesse >
< artikelfarbe > UK < / artikelfarbe >
< / artikeltextgruppe >
< / product >
< / katalog >

By selecting the option "Assign formats by name to the tags' (translated from the German), I wanted to create the desired look. But if I start all I get is the entire < artikeltextgruppe > textblock assigned to 1 formatstyle. And not to mention that the whole content of < artikeltextgruppe > resembles a single paragraph without any structure (no line breaks) the content is properly structured, because I can highlight the value of e.g. < artikelmarke > separately by doubleclicking the tag in the structure view.

(a) what can I do to assign formats correctly AND to have correct line breaks?
"(b) if I drag my node < img href="/bilder/32434.tiff "/ > iin the layout, I get a message posted to search again for the location of the correct reference. And this happens independently on the use of the relative or absolute references (even if I need to use those on) what can I do here?
Thank you very much
			 
First of all, I have probably do a search and replace to remove the group element with a text editor ( and elements). They aren't really necessary.
Secondly, I usually create my styles with the same names as the items themselves. Then, after the XML is imported, I use the command "map tags to styles" in the Structure pane.
I copied and pasted the single article element to create 4 folders, added a change to an image for each record of the item. Once the paragraph styles have been mapped, your XML looked like this in form of two columns (to get all 4 records on a page)...

By default, ID creates a single line to a single line in the XML file. So if you want to be on their own line of the elements, the XML must be formatted like this. If you need a different style within a paragraph, you create character styles and edit the items in a group of XML and or paragraph and add the code in the XML file accordingly or post-processing once inside the code.
I still need to take the XML I gives me and reformat, moves with the tree items, change the links to the images, delete tabs and or spaces where I do not want, tag character styles, etc., to be closer to how I want the original format to be.

How to create a numbered list paragraph style?
 
			 
You know what you would think it would be simple to make a numbered list paragraph style.  I created a new paragraph. style is then in the bullets and numbers on the style. Here, I chose dial. When I applied it in 11 paragraphs each begins with 1.
If I go to the toolbar at the top and click numbered list market then it works as expected. My style of "Numbered list", and then has a +, 'Redefining the Style' is grey so I can redefine to try to fix it.
What I am doing wrong?
BTW, I also want to use a style of tank inside it for the first line, which is the main point of the ball being made (small caps/bold) < paragraph return > then, normal text for the rest of this bullet
Thank you
			 
You are also asked to do the first line "BOLD". You indicate that it is its own paragraph, so you'll want a paragraph style that includes character attributes and the attributes of type numbered list while you're there. You use character styles only if there is more than one style in the paragraph which is not the case here. And then create a paragraph style second which is indented and non-bold for text "complementary." If you skillfully use the tags 'next paragraph style', you can have styles replacing automatically as you type, then you can apply styles to an entire list with a single command using the context menu command "style Apply, then next style." So, in short, I would use three paragraph styles:
1 FirstNumberedList style (resets the paragraph style counter next is number 1, "BOLD", "Description")
Style of description (withdrawal, non-fat, is paragraph style following "NumberedList").
2 NumberedList style (continue the numbering, "BOLD", is style of following "Description" paragraph)
Style (even before) description
3 NumberedList style (the same as before)
Style description... etc.
To apply all the styles on a typical previously part of the text in one: select the entire list, and then Ctrl-click on the 'FirstNumberedList' style in the palette paragraph styles, and then choose "Apply"FirstNumberedList"then next Style." The first paragraph will be in the FirstNumberedList format, and all of the following in your choice will have a format based on the "next paragraph style" of the previous paragraph.

Pages on El Capitan 10.11.1 v5.6.1.
I just created a quote indented using ITC Garamond Book Italic with left and right margins altered. Well selected, I clicked on the + symbol in the paragraph, named the new Styles pop-up style Indented quote and you press return.
Always selected in the body of the document, I applied the body paragraph Style to restore the normal formatting and then with the text again, the paragraph of citation Style indented - who worked as expected.
If you want that your new Style of paragraph to survive across documents, you will need to save it in a model. You can also have two different Pages, documents open in Pages v5.6.1, and copy/paste the custom styles between the selected text in these documents by using the Format menu.

Hi Nicolas,.
in general, you can start with the Facade::ITextStylesFacade interface on the kUtilsBoss, or you can search in the API of IParagraphStyleSuite if you want to use the current selection.

I've updated all paragraph styles in my site, but the code is not generating of heading and paragraph tags.  Help!
 
			 
Try to increase the SEO on my site of Muse.  I didn't know I could implement paragraph styles when I first built the site.  Just went and built styles but the generated HTML map includes all the text in the img tags instead of the header/paragraph tags.  Help!
			 
For me it looks like you are using non-InDesign. If they are not web fonts or you've applied things like a shadow to him, then it will convert the text to a picture in which you can apply tags: for.
Can you provide a link to the site as well as the mention of what you use the police?
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Create the style of the selected text paragraph?
 
			 
I am trying to create a paragraph style for the selected text in InDesign CS6 (Mac). There must be a simple command for this.
For example, if I'm in the form of text which has no style paragraph and decide I want to save the formatting as a new style to apply it elsewhere, there is no command for 'create the new style of paragraph selected text'. The only option, seems, is to manually create a new paragraph style, click the style, which of course annihilates all the formatting desired, redo all the formitting (assuming a rememebers it), then right click on the paragraph style and hope that the option "Redefine a Style" is available (which is not often).
Any guidance greatly appreciated.
			 
1 Select the text or keep blink, position the cursor on the text and the paragraph open style (press F11), on the paragraph style Panel, click the menu and choose new paragraph Style

2. in this new paragraph Style dialog box, you can make your desire setting and check the box 'Apply the Style to selection'

OR
1. create your text of desire and click on this text created (or select the text) and click on create a new style button that is shown on the image

2. When you click on create new style from the paragraph style list a paragraph style 1 is displayed but it will not be highlighted, it will highlight on the default style 'Standard paragraph', just click once on the style of paragraph 1 and double-click to rename.

It will allow to keep the style of what you have created.
Thank you
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Problem with creating numbered lists the paragraph style...
 
			 
I have a numbered list, using "bullets and numbers" paragraph style But I don't know how to get the numbering to work properly.
If I set the "mode" to "continue from previous" mode, whenever I use this paragraph style continuous numbering since the last issue of the previous list using this style.
If I put the 'mode' for ' start in ' a number, say '1', then all numbers in the list are this number.
I want that each list is independent of the final list. The only thing I can understand is to create a new paragraph for each list style, but which does not seem a good way to go.
I have been exploring for some time but have not been able to understand this.
			 
Place the cursor inside your paragraph of the list where you want than to restart numbering.
Choose from the menu:
Type > bulleted & numbered lists > restart page numbering.

How to create the paragraph style
 
			 
Hi guys
We create a teaching manual in line with the definitions in the glossary. Our advertising design definitions are indented text and a colored bar on the left hand side to highlight the definition. The bar should automatically resize if the text wraps to a new line. We cannot think of a way to create this as an object or paragraph style in Indesign CS5. We would appreciate really a few ideas on how to do
			 
InDesign has unfortunately no feature to allow a rule to scale depending on the height of a paragraph. You could use a very short, very thick section NET and a style for each length of line for your definitions. This will mean proofing text in order to ensure the right model is used throughout. The text, the width of the column or the editing style can easily cause the number of lines to change in several paragraphs, proofing will be crucial. This method will also depend on the width of a coherent column. If the width of the column varies somewhat, new styles will be necessary.
You can also use a picture for your definitions. Add a column beside the column of main text for bars, makes it as close as you want the bars to be, then fill it with the color of the line. That the text grows or shrinks, the line height is more or less narrow, forcing the line to keep to the desired height. Place text will be more difficult that way, but adjourned for lengths of line won't be necessary.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Create the style of paragraph based on the selection
 
			 
Is there a way to create a paragraph style based on the selection in the same way, the "New paragraph Style" dialog box without having to go through ALL the elements of style individually?
Thank you
			 
Hi Ken,
Dave (Thanks Dave) code and put it into a string:
REM note the quotes "escaped".
myString = "if (app.documents.length > 0 & app.selection.length = 1 & app.selection [0] .hasOwnProperty (""baseline" ")) {"& vbCr '.
myString = myString & "myDoc = app.documents var [0];" & vbCR
myString = myString & "var myPstyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.add ({name:" "myNewStyle" ""}); "& vbCr
myString = myString & "myPstyle.properties = app.selection [0] .properties;" & vbCr
myString = myString & "}" & vbCr
REM run now the string using "DoScript" (requires that you have a
Instance of rem InDesign "myInDesign"...
myInDesign.DoScript myString, idScriptLanguage.idJavaScript
That should do it.
Thank you
