Paragraph styles changing all of the text, not only selected text

Hello, I'm using CS5, InDesign, on a Mac and I'm having a terrible time applying my paragraph styles in the imported Word document. The main problem is when I select text to apply my paragraph style to, the style is applied to all the text in the thread of the text in InDesign. The solution I understood is to go in Word, cut and paste each section on Word, a new Word document and be sure to 'Paste special' and select 'text style' in Word. Then, I am able to apply for the different sections of text paragraph styles when it is imported into InDesign. The only problem is that all hyperlinks are removed and I must now enter and put them all by hand. It is well over 100 hyperlinks in this ebook. I spent 4 hours trying to solve this problem. There seems not to be a conflict of style when I import the Word document and I am sure no paragraph or character styles are selected when I put them the text. I changed the options "next style" in paragraph stlyes and which seems not helped either. This would be a matter of Word?

That sounds to me like you have separte paragraphs, but have line breaks forced in the place where the paragraph breaks must be. You can check that by showing the nonprinting characters.

  • Application of paragraph to a single paragraph style affects all paragraphs

    Hey,.

    I am trying to create a script that would take a picture of text objects that describe the text and style of a particular line of text. And in a few lines to apply character Styles as well.

    The problem is that, although the script works when the loop is in the character styles 'mode', it seems to apply paragraph styles for all the last lines of the text when the aforementioned object asks him to only apply the paragraph style (no character styles).

    The offending line is the following:

    if ( typeof line.text == 'string' ) {
        frame.contents += "\r" + line.text;
        frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
        frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
        continue;
    }
    

    I even copied the lines of style-lap of the application section of the script ( the other part) character Styles, but it still applies the style to all the last lines of the text. The script below is the full code I have I want with one of the objects of text data. If I comment the lines of 'offending' mentioned above, the script applyes all models correctly. Otherwise, only the last line (Product - Description style) is applied, while all the previous lines reach the style "Spacer".

    Can you see what I'm doing wrong? (Sorry for the giant piece of code, but I can't pin-point this is not relevant here).

    [{
        'text': [
            {

            line = product.text[i];
            style = doc.paragraphStyles.item( line.style );
            if ( typeof line.text == 'string' ) {
                frame.contents += "\r" + line.text;
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
                continue;
            }
            else {
                line_styles = new Array();
                line_text = '';
                for ( j = 0, k = line.text.length; j < k; j++ ) {
                    bit = line.text[j];
                    if ( typeof bit == 'string' ) {
                        line_text += bit;
                    }
                    else {
                        line_styles.push({
                            'start': line_text.length,
                            'end': line_text.length + bit.text.length,
                            'style': bit.style
                        });
                        line_text += bit.text;
                    }
                }
    
                frame.contents += "\r" + line_text;
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
    
                for ( j = 0, k = line_styles.length; j < k; j++ ) {
                    char_style = doc.characterStyles.item(line_styles[j].style);
                    frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].characters.itemByRange(
                        line_styles[j].start,
                        line_styles[j].end
                    ).applyCharacterStyle(char_style, true);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    It was strange. Can't really see what's going wrong here. But it seems to be resolved by changing this line:

    text_frame.contents += "\r" + product.text[i].text;
    

    to do this:

    text_frame.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\r" + product.text[i].text;
    

    This has the additional advantage of targeting of history and therefore do not break if the textframe overflows.

  • Glimpses of well site in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all of the text is the wrong size

    I'm a web designer from recruit. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com when I presented a preview site in Dreamweaver, it seemed fine in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All of the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? It has something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site in the directory a hourago and put this new site in its place) Why IE will display correctly, but not Firefox...

    Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file.  It's pointing to a file on your hard disk local that no one but you can see.

    Open your template and reconcile the path to the folder of your site.  Probably, it should look like this:

    Save the model.  Fill out the changes made to the pages of the child.  Download the child pages.

  • The user can see all the resources, not only allowed for access to its organization

    Hello

    I put three self-serviceable resources resources authorized for a specific organization. So if I click on resources authorized for this organization, I can see only these three...

    Thank you

    Renato.

    Sorry, but I do not understand your last answer. You mentioned the following:

    for option B, even if option A is not checked, you can set automatic ask for organization when assign authorized resources.

    -isn't that what you wanted? You define the resource resources as authorized in all organizations whose users can request this resource. I implemented this and it works fine. This works for both types of applications. (a) my resources-> request for new resources and b) applications-> resources-> Grant resources.

    In the case of b, according to the Organization to which the user is selected, the resource is displayed. all resources are not displayed.

    So the solution is to uncheck in RO and bring the resource authorized specific organizations as resources in self down. It should work fine. Let me know your exact problem if it works that way.

  • How to apply the paragraph style to all paragraphs

    Hi people,

    Simple question. New to JS script here (but so far love it).

    I am trying to apply a paragraph (myTextStyle) style to all paragraphs in a story.

    Right now, I set it up as follows:

    tabletDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.item ("story").paragraphs.item (0) .applyParagraphSty (myTextStyle, true);

    Obviously, it's just the first paragraph - item (0)-, but no changes to the code it throws.

    Can I implement something to it or a beach (first to last), so it will apply to all of them?

    Thanks in advance!

    Just set the property .appliedParagraphStyle on the whole story.

  • How to change or remove the text automatically added to a provision DITA?

    I am to evaluate FM11 with an eye toward using it to create our manual print (as well as all the stuff of re-use that will allow DITA). I have some experience with DITA authoring in other applications, but FM is new to me.

    It's going to be me and a colleague to show how FM is an improvement on our current manual process (InDesign). In particular, one thing that we need to demonstrate is how we will retain complete control over page layout features (something that we do not easily get in our other XML authoring tool).

    I played with the 'new' model DITA of task/reference/concept because they open, and I am disturbed to see that the text appears automatically in some places and I can't change it or delete it. For example, a < info > tag adds the text 'ADDITIONAL INFORMATION'. We couldn't have this text to appear in our page layouts, or we might want to change it. At the very least, I will need to prove that I have control over the text like this.

    I looked through the Pages of reference, EDDs, DTD, INIs and several other places, and I can't nail down the source of the (unwanted) text. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hi ohnehosen...

    These strings are defined in ESD, AutoNumber text in the style of paragraph or on the pages of reference. Looks like you have checked all these places, but they * are * it. One of the problems you can run in FM11 are that you probably use DITA 1.2, and for DITA 1.2 there is a request for separate for each type of topic structure. This means that you will have different EDDs and models to go. If you change a DSP, you will need to import into the corresponding model.

    I strongly suggest that, instead of changing the structure applications by default, you clone first defaults to the names of your choice. Then, you change your custom applications and leave the default apps unmodified for the test. You * will * break the apps at some point (everyone does) and without the default applications unmodified for the test.

    If you do not need the DITA 1.2 model, you can consider using the DITA 1.1 apps, which (I think) are just an app for all types of topics.

    OR... If you want a much more simple and reliable option for PDF of DITA editing, you might see DITA-FMx. This is a product I sell, but it provides enhanced DITA creation and publication tools in FrameMaker.

  • Object to a paragraph Style anchor? Objects behind text

    Hello

    I am trying to anchor a graphic object to a paragraph style that is a numbered paragraph.  I've set up my number and I want a single chart to be anchored to the number so it appears behind the number each time that I chose this paragraph style.

    Is this possible to do?

    Or maybe I should ask how others put graphics in the background of the bullets or numbers and have their anchor point for the text...

    Of course, I could use some help with this; It seems it should be easy...

    Dave.

    I found it fascinating, so I thought I'd see what I could come up with.

    I did a numbered paragraph style, for starters. Then I did a Cyan filled ellipse, which I anchored in front of the first word in a paragraph and changed the positioning custom and made sure it was compared to the anchor and off to respect the limits of the image, to allow me to position 'behind' the number. As emmanuel, anchored objects work actually in front of the text, therefore, so far, it isn't.

    I selected the ellipse and changed its blend mode to multiply. It won't change color where it is more white, but it will darken everywhere where it is located on another color, creating a rich black number, for example, if you used the text in black. Looks pretty good now.

    Select the ellipse and create a new object style based on it. It will be by default include the blend mode and the anchored object settings and make sure that the style is applied to the selected ellipse. Now cut the ellipse and stick it on the pastboard in the way so you don't lose it.

    As long as the object exists in the Clipboard you can use for a search/replace operation, so you can do this now or later, just by copying again when appropriate. Find/replace must be a GREP search ^ (.) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph, and then replace it by ~ c$ 1, which means replacing the found character and content to the Clipboard format. Be sure to set the discovery of options for the numbered paragraph style formatting.

    Because you gave the object an object style that includes the mode of fusion and positioning and you stuck as a formatting object, these attributes are preserved and the graph will be correctly positioned for each paragraph.

  • Firefox 4.0.1 shows almost all of the text in bold. I start to record mode and sound fine, but when I disable all the addon then start in normal mode it broke again.

    So I updated last night, this morning I noticed that a lot of the text on Web sites are in bold.
    For example when doing web yahoo mail unread messages must be "BOLD", while read messages shouldn't be now, they are all "BOLD" anything.
    I started in safe mode, thinking that an addon was broken and at the normal search that seemed to confirm that.
    So I disabled all the addon and manually restarted in normal mode, the problem was back.

    I confirmed all was the addon still handicapped and restarted in safe mode once again, fixed... so I disabled both the plugin and extensions... still broken in normal mode.
    At one point I thought it might be the default aspect so I downloaded one that looks like 3.6 and this one broke... again.

    So that's what I'm wondering, what is not loaded in safe mode which is always loaded when you manually turn off all extensions and plugin?

    This could be a problem with the new features related to the police who are trying to use your graphics card. You can enable those here:

    Tools > Options > advanced > [disable] "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (It's one of the things that turn off safe mode.)

    I don't know if you'll see results immediately, or if you must restart Firefox.

  • How to display all of the text in ListField

    I have a liftfield displaying messages long, but for some reason they get any shorter. For example, if the message is 'This is my example message.', the Simulator displays: "this is...". ».

    Is there a way to make sure the entire message is displayed?

    Thanks in advance!

    Frankly, you don't need as many pointers. Take a look at the Graphics class and start thinking about what you want to draw and what positions. There are several methods of drawText in there - read descriptions and choose the ones you need. A little advice - adjust your font size before drawing if you see that the text does not.

    Here is a (very incomplete) list the things that you may need:

    Graphics.setFont / Graphics.getFont

    Graphics.drawText

    Graphics.setColor / Graphics.getColor

    Police .getHeight

    Font.getAdvance

    Font.DERIVE

    Read the documentation and try to see how it all works together.

    Also search the ListField forum and/or drawListRow - you're bound to find a lot of good pointers.
