• Object Style Manager: How to import styles into of CP7 CP8

  Here's my problem:

  1. I open a Captivate file created in CP7
  2. I have it save it under a different filename in CP8
  3. I create a new object Style--say a text caption
  4. I export the Style - I tried just the new style, all styles, all styles for all objects.

• Captivate 9 Style Manager object crashing

  OK - simple enough - my system was working fine and I was able to use the styles and preferences with no problems. In the middle of the development of a sensitive, I opened the object manager stlyle to reset the default values of the intelligent forms and its empty opening. I wouldn't go far without resorting to Ctrl-alt-delete to end the program.

  I cleared caches and reopened Captivate. Until I opened a project, I opened the object Style Manager to set the defauilts and found the same behavior. I went in the back-end and run the preferences file own bat and reopened Captivate. The Style of the object manager is always empty opening and crashing the program. On the Task Manager to stop the currently running program, the Manager of object Style closed earlier than the program once and updated a fatal error message that indicates a backup file was created. There is no backup anywhere file (not a problem, all these mistakes occurred early or before even that a file was opened).

  Thoughts?

  I always use this version as well (see too much at stake to upgrade my workstation at the moment). Although I rather frequent crashes, never known the problem you describe. Especially since you have disabled the preferences. Can I clear the cache on a regular basis? It was the first version 9 installed on your system or that you have upgraded to version 9.0.0 to 9.0.1? Since it seems to be related with styles, can you try to remove the Layouts folder in public documents, while CP is closed? When you restart CP, will make a new copy of the original. Maybe the corruption in some themes? Have you tried to change a theme?

• Given to zero Style Manager object without user defined clones

  Captivate 8.0.1.242 - Windows 7 64 bit

  I have been taking regularly make changes in management Style of the object by the addition of new styles, I needed more than 5 months now. Now, I'm picking up my old courses and need to change the styles of most objects. But when I import the style object manager export file (*.cps), it creates unnecessary clones which makes my job very difficult. Every time I have import a newer version of the object Style file manager, more clones appear and I have to delete them manually.

  So is there a way to completely reset the object Style crib?

  I wonder because you seem to make a difference between the themes and styles of object, but the object styles are an integral part of a theme, such as palette theme colors, master slides and parameters of the skin. Personally, I keep everything in a theme and load the theme I need. You seem to separate the two, and export/import of such styles as was necessary in older versions of CP before themes appear (with 6 if my memory is OK).

  Clearing preferences will allow to get rid of customization, but any customization: Captivate 8.0.1 Install? Keep your customization! -Captivate Blog

• Unable to save object Style and can't open the Style of ERROR object manager

  HY

  I'm confused. When you try to save a Style I can click OK and nothing happens.

  When you try to open the Captivate 8 style Manager is colapsing with a fatal error. (Captivate 8.01.242)

  When I open examples of projects I don't have this problem. It is when creating new projects.

  What can I do?

  What do you see in the themes? In German, I see that the button has the label "design"? I try just, totally baffled by your problem.

  The Layouts folder that I was talking about seems to be corrupted. That's why I asked if you removed before reinstalling. The path is:

  

• Software Simulation, default object Styles?

  I use Cap 9. Try out the features of the software simulation. Is it possible to apply a style to text objects that Captivate automatically adds the screens?

  I can't call them the text captions because they are not individual objects in the timeline panel. So far, they seem to be grouped into a single object that I can move individually and manually resize (required every time!). Be able to apply a style that would allow them to save a lot of work.

  Is there a way to do this?

  Are you sure these are legends, not forms? Because the two objects can be selected in preferences, check, default values. At this place, you will find also all the default styles for the registration of the software simulations. And you can easily navigate to the Style Manager object.

  If you want to change the style after the capture, you change to a legend (or form), then use the button of menu hamburger (top-right with three horizontal lines) where you can apply the changes to the existing style.

• New Document window are missing when you open the new document, along with other menu items: object style, the effect controls panel, etc.

  Miss me a lot of items, it seems that in my InDesign program.  How can this be?  I'm taking a class at the local college (inDesign CS6), and when you go through the book and steps, I keep noticing that I'm missing things.  For example: when I open a new Document - No new window does not appear on my screen, and there is no way to change the page size, etc. that appears. (2.) there is no object Styles Panel - window > Styles > Styles object - but the option object Styles does not exist.  3.) there are no available effects Panel, either. As I continue the race, things keep getting showing like that.  What is going on?  I do not have something wrong; My instructor verified that indeed these things seem to be missing.  I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium disc for Windows operating system.  Help, please!

  I had problems to install the drive, but thanks to someone in the forum, I have put everything on the desktop and installed in this way.  What why what is happening?

  In fact, you must return to the extensions Manager in all cases and make sure that all of the Adobe extensions are checked on.

• I created an object style to set the distance of the legend of my photos, but the distance is not consistent from one image to the image.

  I create a complex book with many images and chapters.

  I created the object styles to compensate for the distance the images for legends, but the distance changes according to how the image is adjusted within the framework and I don't know what dictates change. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you.

  I have not marked as correct answer because it is not related to what you have actually done, which has been reset to the scale. Your problem seems to come from having defined preference generally by climbing, adjust the percentage.

  Frankly, I think it is a bug.

• Find an object with an object style and increase its height! …

  Hi all

  I found each (anchored to the current text) 'invisible' block with a specific 'AA' object style and change its height SO its offset is > 180 (depending on the origin 0,0 page by default).

  This seems to be simple but, still, who doesn't!

  Thanks in advance!

  (^/)

  app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "xxx");
    
  function main()
  {  
    
  app.findObjectPreferences = null; 
  app.findObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles = "AA"; 
  myFound = app.activeDocument.findObject();
  
  
  for (i = 0; i < myFound.length; i++)  
       {  
          var myGB = myFound.geometricBounds;
          var myYOffset = myGB[2]; 
          var myHeight = myGB[2] - myGB[0]; 
          
          if (myYOffset[i] > 180) myHeight[i] += 90; 
       }  
  
  }
  

  Replace this:

  myFound.geometricBounds

  with this:

  .geometricBounds myFound [i]

  You must then change the geometricBounds and apply it to the object:

  myGB =...

  myFound [i] .geometricBounds = myGB

  Something in this direction.

• Can I create a form using the object styles in InDesign

  Hello

  Is it possible to create a form in the object Styles I can create in InDesign? I know that I can attribute some qualities, but I would like to create a capsule form that will be repeated throughout a page of lists in our sites.

  So far, I have to copy, paste, and anchor the object in the text which is quite time that we have thousands of ads, and life is too short for mundane tasks.

  If I can create a form of object Styles, by entering its dimensions, it will allow me to create the style for import into InDesign, 4 d, our CMS.

  If not, can we have it in a new construction, please Adobe?

  I look forward to your reply.

  Thank you

  Roy

  That can be done with tabs and styles nested using underscore with a custom stroke style. I hope that these screenshots should explain it...

  

  

  

  

• best judgment for paragraph styles, object styles and character styles

  I want to learn the criteria difference and use of paragraph styles, object styles and character styles. I know how to use them, but know about the best judgment and context, when you use would be better. Can anyone recommend links? I've been using adobe. Please don't suggest books.

  Paragraph styles are whole paragraphs.

  Character styles are letters or isolated words. Do not use the long of an entire paragraph. Do not set all the attributes, only those who are different for the properties of the paragraph Style. Unlike Quark Xpress, in InDesign are character Styles used only for the difference of isolated words.

  Paragraph styles can include the character automatically Style: Styles, GREP, nested Styles, initial letters, chips automatic & numbers and line styles.

  Object styles , set the frame of the object. They include separate definitions of all of the object, the stroke and fill.

  Object styles can also be applied to images in a frame and groups.

  Object styles may also include in the following paragraph Style and a style of paragraphs in automatic way.

  Object styles have several categories, you can choose which category is relevant to apply. For example, it is possible to apply the first style object to give the stroke and fill and apply a different object style to format the corners only and then apply the next. (With this method last only the applied object Style is linked).

  Styles of the opportunity to make global changes in a document. If you build in a smart way, they are a huge time saver. They can be stored in the CC libraries or libraries with objects that are applied to them. If you have created once these styles, you can use them again, and with one or two clicks, you can make their own to new document.

  My recommendation: the habit of Styles, name them always with the same names that it helps you to be accustomed to them and to work faster, much faster.

  There are more models: Table Styles, Styles of cell, the Master Pages and color chart.

• Cannot add an object style to the library directly

  I can't add an object style from by dragging a style object to an indesign Library palette. Is this normal?

  That is to say, to add an object style to the library, I have to drag an object that has this particular style of my my indesign library. Right?

  Yes, it's true. Failed to add to a library of object Styles, but adding an object.

  Add any object adds an object Style, Object Styles depending on the occasion, used the paragraph and character and the name Layer Styles Styles.

• using an object style before the placement of the image

  I want to place 20 images using an object style in which I have a black 3point outline for all images. How can I do? I have to manually apply an object style to the images after that that they have been placed.

  As far as I know, it always works to place WITHOUT pre-existing framework: http://indesignsecrets.com/applying-an-object-style-when-placing-an-image.php

  If you want to do some sort of pre-existing images, you use the rectangle tool instead of the frame tool.

• Object styles cannot be deleted

  I use 8 Captivate and there is some object styles I want to remove the file that I can't. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

  

  These styles with brackets around them are default object styles.  You will not be able to remove them.  It seems that the project has been created using a German version of Captivate?  Is this likely?

• The bubbles... using object styles

  Hi all! I took over a project in InDesign that was created by another designer. It's something I can't understand. There is a graph. And behind the text of the "bubbles". These are created using the object styles. The sentence I feel, is that when I merge the bubbles, mine out differently to what they were doing. And I can't for the life of figure me out how to do what they were doing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Basically, it's the 'corners' which are the cause. When I merge the two bubbles, there is a small dip. But when they merged their, it comes out instead of in. See what I mean below. I can't quite explain it with words.

  In my suggestion rounded corner effect = Option of round corner. My point is: the order in which you merge forms and apply rounded corners will have different results.
