paragraph styles

without valid reason I later move to really use paragraph styles. but I encountered a small problem. the document that I'm actually has a TON of garbage styles attached to it from the word document (which has an OCR would scan...). But right now, I'm going to have this problem when I try to apply styles for titles and whatnot, but the style is applied to more than what is highlighted, probably only indesign because I'm stressing only part of a "paragraph", and it's all 'paragraph', even if it is actually just part of a title. Is there a way for the UN-paragraphize things? For things before and after should not be the same style? Mac/CS6

As a trainer, I am obliged to pop and suggest take you back and learn the two functions that are themselves Scrums first, and then you can return to your document and hit the ground running.

Start with paragraph styles for formatting entire paragraphs:

Then use character styles to change the text in the paragraphs:

  • Cannot find the paragraph styles

    When I create a table, the text style sometimes as "Table Style 2" in paragraph styles section but but when I click on the triangle to the list of different styles, he is nowhere to be seen. "" I'm new on this so sorry if it's something obvious but is there more models on the list of those that appear immediately and if yes how do for them?

    Using Pages on El Capitan 10.11.1 v5.6.1. When I insert a new table, the Table Style 2 paragraph Style is visible in the text: Style tab. Click on the triangle produces a rollout with the list of paragraph Styles. I can't reproduce the problem you describe.

    The button create a new paragraph style does not work for me, is this a bug or something stupid I did?

    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.

  • Use GREP to apply paragraph styles, character styles not only

    I have a body of text, and in it, I would like to apply a specific style to the paragraphs corresponding to a model. I did a GREP style that applied some changes formatting of paragraphs, I tried that it affects, but in doing so, I found that I couldn't Center these lines using a character style. (The corresponding lines should be centered, and the rest should be left aligned.)

    I was thrilled to learn that the GREP function, then completely disappointed with this limitation. InDesign offers the possibility to automate this, so I must not cross and Center each paragraph corresponding to the hand?

    Thank you!

    InDesign provides a way to automate this so?

    Yes and no. There is no dynamically linked paragraph styles to a paragraph about his boss, but he has at least two alternatives:

    (1) use Grep-F/C

    (2) use the script FindChangeByList or MultiFindChange which is basically automate operations F/C

  • change the point size of overset text paragraph style

    Hi guys,.

    I can't work this at all.

    I want to gradually reduce the size of the text in a block of overset text.

    I want to reduce the relative size of each paragraph for example, body text style is 9pt and 10pt subheadings, so the body of the text should reduce 8.5pt and subheading 9.5 ft.

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames;

    for (i = 0; i < myTextFrame.length; i ++) {}

    While (myTextFrame [i] .overflows)

    myTextFrame [i]. ParagraphStyles.everyItem (.pointSize) - is 0.5;.

    }

    That's what I have, but I can't seem to access paragraph styles.

    Any suggestions?

    [Jongware] pretty much answered that question in your previous post: reduce the size of the text in a text overset frame

    5. app.activeDocument.stories [i] .recompose ();
    6. }
    7. }

    (Note that the text of the story gets the same size. "I hope that this is not a problem with your text.)

    Yes, it says that all of the text of the story will have the same size text applied... but it is a simple amendment to add a loop for () to run lines 4 and 5 through each paragraph in the story rather than the full story. Try this and see how it goes.

  • GREP find the paragraph style

    Hi guys,.

    I use this grep to search for all words that use the body text paragraph style.

    However, I get the same result if I specify a paragraph style to find or not.

    The result is always the same. Why is this?

    app.findGrepPreferences = null;

    var found = app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\b\\w+?\\b";

    found.appliedParagraphStyle = "Body text";

    Found = App.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    Alert ("this document has" + found.length + "words");

    gives the same result as

    app.findGrepPreferences = null;

    var found = app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\b\\w+?\\b";

    Found = App.activeDocument.findGrep ();

    Alert ("this document has" + found.length + "words");

    app.findGrepPreferences=null;
    var found = app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\\b\\w+?\\b";
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle=app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("body").paragraphStyles.item("Body text");
    found=app.activeDocument.findGrep();
    alert("This document has "+found.length+" words");

  • You can automate assigning a different color in the paragraph styles to each character?

    Hello

    I am trying to find a way to create a paragraph style that will apply a different color to each letter automatically (to avoid having to change each character by hand.) like this:

    productrange.jpg

    Maybe it's not possible with styles, but if anyone has any other tips would be great. See you soon!


    Rosie

    If you want to keep the order of the colors in your RED letters > PURPLE > GREEN you have to exclude white space and choose 'Letters' instead of 'characters '.

    In your case after the Green letter 'Y', the next letter 'V' should be red, but it's Purple

  • Change the paragraphs found in the standard paragraph style?

    I have look here for about an hour and could not find a discussion for this.  I see where it clears the substitutions but not change Style all together.  Here's what I need help do.  If I left saying text 4 selected boxes, I want the power to change the standard paragraph to paragraph and character set to None style style. If there is already can a discussion that I missed in this regard you point me in that direction.  If this is not the case, can I please help with this.

    You can usetpk1982of script to change all the paragraphs of the standard paragraph. But if you only want the block of selected text, then you will need to adjust thescript to change paragraph styles in the selected text frames.

    basically replace line 2 by var allTFrames = app.selection;
    Also, if you need to clear character styles need to do before you change the paragraph style or character styles will be removed and the formatting will be left as a local override.  Your final script after that these changes would be:

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    var myTFrames = app.selection;

    for (var i = 0; i)< mytframes.length;="" i++)="">

    var tFrame = myTFrames [i];

    pStory var = tFrame.parentStory;

    var allParas = pStory.paragraphs.everyItem ();

    pStory.characters.everyItem () .appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles [0];

    allParas.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles [1];

    }

    Note: instead of simply replacing the 2 wire I also changed the name of the variable to reflect rather than leave it in the form allTFrames; and add line 7... Other than these two changes everything was the script of tpk1982

  • Paragraph style &gt; apply... then next &gt; 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.

  • Paragraph styles, do weird things

    I'm having a strange problem that drives me bananas.

    I copy and paste a document quit in of MSWord (something I've done MANY times before without problem). For some reason, the text is placed in police Didot, all uppercase, followed 50 - although I have never and would never do that style anywhere in my document.

    When I tried to use the styles I've implemented for formatting the text, they do not work. Only strange Didot font style remains. I can't replace it anyway. I went through all the settings "based on" in my style, and this font (and these settings) do not appear anywhere. It's like InDesign decided, this is the default setting for all of the text and does not allow me to change it.

    If I change it manually, it works, but as soon as I try to apply a style, it immediately snaps this madness of Didot.

    I have never seen this before and it keeps all my work. Any ideas?

    This also occurs if I try to spent in the text of the Pages. And paste without formatting is not available as an option. Don't know what else to try.

    Almost all of the issues I've seen with paragraph Styles involved a rogue character Style making its undesirable magic
