Paragraph style > apply... then next > keyboard shortcut?

Hi all

I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut for:

"Apply (paragraph style name) then next.

But can seem to find it in the options keyboard shortcuts window.

I usually get to this command by selecting a few paragraphs, and then control-click on the style in the paragraph Panel. A shortcut would be much faster.

I've attached a screenshot of the menu with the command that I'm looking to make a shortcut.

Thank you!

Here is a link to the free "Apply Next style" quick script that makes it very easy to apply the following style to the selected paragraphs:

  • Paragraph styles apply bad

    Hello. I have a strange problem here that I've never met before. Somehow my paragraph styles do not apply to the right. In the options, everything seems fine, but when I apply a certain style it turns into a bad (ultralight instead of ordinary for example) font style. When I try to apply a different style of paragraph after that they can also be programmed to the ultralight, even if they were working properly before styling that paragraph with the certainty of preset. If I change the font manually style to what it is supposed to be, the "+" - sign only appears next to the paragraph styles in the paragraph styles. Styles of police, UltraLight and the style of play seem to be considered compliant with the paragraph style.

    I created several passages until I encountered this error and they have no change, and display right. There is also the number "+" - sign next to their paragraph in the window styles paragraph styles. I can also change the paragraph style in these paragraphs, and nothing strange happens. It works very well in these frameworks of related texts. So it could be a problem with linked texts executives newly created, I suppose.

    I have two styles of paragraph for each goal, one for a dark and the other for a light background. They are named as follows: "[purpose] (black) ' and (brilliant) [purpose]", so that they begin with the same word pairs (I don't know, but maybe that's the key?).» None of my paragraph styles is actually St. to UltraLight. As I wrote, I had no problems with these styles two days ago, when I created them or yesterday. They began to occur today.

    I hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance.

    First thing to check is if a character Style is applied.

  • script to duplicate the standard paragraph style, and then change the size of the character point

    I want to create a script that will create a cascade of paragraph based on the style settings [standard paragraph] styles. My goal is to point size of each new paragraph style character as a percentage of the original [standard paragraph]. So if [standard paragraph] is 100% (point character size 10pt), the script would create a paragraph style called 120% ' that has a point size of character of 12 points. Then 133%, 140%, and on and on. I modified a script found on this forum to generate these new styles, but I don't know how to be based on the [standard paragraph]. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    current script:

    var doc = app.activeDocument,

    pStyle = ['100% ', '120% ', '133% '];

    for (var i = 0; i < pstyle.length; i ++)

    {

    If (pstyle [i] is "100 %")

    {

    doc.paragraphStyles.add ({name: pstyle [i], appliedFont: 'Deer', pointSize:10});})

  • 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.

  • Paragraph style does not take into account the style options

    I'm changing the style to a paragraph style options in InDesign CS6, but the changes are not applied to text that uses this paragraph style.

    My paragraph style is called copy, and it of Helvetica Neue (TT), size 10 pt and pt 12 leading. I open the window Options of paragraph for the style Style and change the size 8pt and leading him to 9,6 pt; However the text does not change. Even if I save these Options in paragraph Style and then re - open this window again, the window shows the new values. There is also no "+" that displays next to the paragraph style of copy in the paragraph Styles Panel, so it is not substitutions.

    If I replace the style of paragraph copy by manually changing the size and head, the changes are applied to the text, so I don't think that there is a limitation of Helvetica Neue invovled.

    Any idea?

    A common reason for this is that a character style has been applied to the whole paragraph in addition to the paragraph style.

  • Export InDesign text in a text file with paragraph styles

  • Character vs drop cap style paragraph style

    I guess that I do not understand the character styles and having problems with them carrying through when I don't want them.

    I created a called the body text paragraph style. I then created a paragraph called style, first paragraph, which is the same as the body of the text except that it uses one style character drop cap, which is a different color and melting.

    When I apply the body text of a paragraph, it works fine. However, if I apply the first paragraph, but changed my mind and apply the body of the text, I can't get rid of different color and the police of the drop cap. In fact, it apply this character style to the whole paragraph.

    Of course, I did something wrong. Any clue?

    I think you're on the right track, but you have made some bad decisions. First of all, you want your style of bodywork with your first paragraph style to be the same, with the exception of the drop cap. It can be useful if you were to remove the first paragraph style and then make a new copy of the body style, rename it, first paragraph and make it based on body style. Simply change the appearance of the drop cap number of characters and lines you want.

    You want not any formatting local on paragraphs, so the first thing to do is to select the first two paragraphs and click the style of body while pressing the Option key (Mac, maybe the Alt key if you are using Windows). This will apply the paragraph style of the body with no local replacement (the style). Then claire on character styles by selecting no style in the palette styles of character (while the two paragraphs are always selected with the text tool).

    Now, click in the first paragraph and select the first paragraph style. It should look the same as the body style, but have a drop cap. At this point, if you want a different font, bold/italic, color, etc., you can start thinking about a character style. You will apply the character style in the portion of the paragraph style initials, and it will effect only the number of characters that you specified for the drop cap.

    Make a new character style and only define the perameters that you want to be different. For example, if you want time to your basic fonts and italic foie gras for the drop cap, set font Style in the Formats section of basic characters of the character in Bold Italic Style palette, but leave the empty police. In this way, if you decide later than Helvetica as standard paragraph font, you will not be left with a drop cap times bold italic character (instead of this, bold and italic are going to stay, but they will on Helvetica).

    So, you have a character style and a paragraph style. Just set the character style to the drop cap in the paragraph style, first paragraph, (its just beside the number of characters and lines). You can then switch back between the body and the first paragraph without the problem you are having now.

    EDIT: I just had another thought. Your paragraph styles contain nested styles?

  • keyboard shortcut to apply the paragraph tag

    I am experienced with FrameMaker 8, but just to start getting used to FrameMaker 9. A keyboard shortcut that I use constantly in FrameMaker 8 is Ctrl-9, type the first letter of the paragraph tag, and then press ENTER. If there is more than one, starting with the same letter, I keep just hitting this letter until it appears the tag I want. For example if there is a title 1 and a Title2, I type 'h' twice to get Title2. With FrameMaker 9, it seems that I have to type the whole word "Title2" before hitting entry.

    Frustrating when shortcuts favorites are messy. Is it possible to recover my old shortcut? Is there a quick way to apply paragraph tags in FrameMaker 9?

    Type down arrow after selecting the first of similar format names. For example, Ctrl + H 9 DnArrow moves to Title2, or whatever the second format that begins with "H".

    Consider using format names that have less of the same main characters. For example:

    Title 1 H 1

    2 H Title2

    1N Numbered1

    Numbered N

    1 typo displays 1 H Heading1; DnArrow moves to 1N Numbered1.

    Some people separate the abbreviation of the full name with an underscore instead of a space; i. e., 1H_Heading1, instead of 1 H Heading1.

    HTH
