• How to avoid overwriting the italics when you apply paragraph styles?

  First of all, let me say thank you to the community of Adobe's Forum for the great help over the years! You Rock! 9 times out of 10 you nail!

  OK, so I have a long document full of italics, bold and accents. Successfully, I imported the text in MS Word and kept these text features using the import options. But now, when I go to apply paragraph styles, the italics are lost. Is it possible to implement paragraph styles so that they maintain Roman, italic, bold and also special characters like accents? Thank you!

  Hi David: I just put upward (and record) queries for search/replace that I of course after you import all text. For example, I have one that is italic in the document and it goes to a character called italic style. Once I saved queries, it is very fast to run on all the stories at the same time. And once the local formatting is managed through character styles, it is intact by assigning paragraph styles.

• InDesign CC 2015 (do not apply paragraph styles)

  Hello

  InDesign doesn't apply paragraph styles. Said she, but nothing has changed. Someone else has the same problem?

  Thank you

  Have you looked to see that a character Style is accidentally applied on the same text? Character styles replaces the paragraph style attributes.

• 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

• Not applying paragraph styles does not correctly

  I don't know even how to describe this problem except that... weird.

  For example: I put a style particular to 21 PT 22 PT. leading. When I apply this style to a paragraph, it sets the text to 42/44 - twice as big. Even with a heading style. I updated PT. 41 and it comes out to pt 82. It does this for all my styles. The '+' is not appear on any of them, this isn't a matter of substitution.

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere? I'm getting nowhere attempting this nail.

  TIA

  The text has been transformed? This will mess up the paragraph styles. Do not apply to the size of the game. The paragraph style will be applied, but then the transformation will also be applied.

• Table of content not applying paragraph styles do not

  Hello

  Intensely frustrated, but assuming that I have do just something stupid I can't understand.  I use CS4.

  Try to make a table of contents.  Everything will import correctly in the table of contents - I because of paragraph styles to the different levels, I've wanted to, etc., including some of the hidden layers.  All these import correctly.

  I did the paragraph styles for the real KNOCK out and filled in the box for each to apply to the specifc level.  The basic indentation formatting etc. I am applying work, but features and the font size will not change.

  When I look at each paragraph style, everything entered in the way that I want it to be (that is, text formatting, etc.).  I can go to my OCD manually and click on the section of text and apply the style to the paragraph I want and apply the recesses, etc., but the formatting of the text is not.  I have to go to character styles to make it work.

  If I go into another section of my document, apply that same paragraph text style, then all (characteristics of fonts & renfonçait changes etc.).

  Looks like you can have styles of characters applied to text in the document itself, and these character styles are preserved. Local formatting and character styles applied in the paragraphs are retained when you make the table of contents.

  Many users doesn't seem to understand the distinction between character and paragraph styles, too and using character styles incorrectly. I'm not saying that it's true for you, necessarily, but you should undersand this character styles are used to change the font attributes for bit isolated from the text in a paragraph. The basis for the type specification is part of the paragraph style, and there should be no reason to apply a style of character with the exception of special cases - some words or characters - in the paragraph. Text most will have no style applied character.

• 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!

• Assign shortcuts to paragraph styles

  Hi all

  I use InDesign CC trial version now, and I would buy it after using it for a few weeks. I couldn't assign shortcuts to paragraph styles. Is it my problem or a restriction in the system? Could someone help me with this.

  When I click on the space provided for the addition of shortcut we are not throwing any message of error or I would say that I could click this text box and the cursor flashes but I couldn't I attribute a shortcut.

  Thank you.

  Sisi

  Shortcuts for paragraph styles consist of a number on a keypad and a modifier key (for example, hit Cmd/Ctrl or Alt/Option). If your computer does not have a numeric keypad, you may need to use another method as fast application to apply paragraph styles.

• [win] [js] [cs4] find/replace the paragraph styles without losing the replacements the

  Hi guys I need some help here.

  I created a javascript script that will find and replace paragraph styles for the DOCFILE with indesign paragraph styles. everything works fine but the problem is that, when she applies paragraph styles, he loses all replacements the. I tried:
  
  changetext (false);
  
  but his does not work, this is a kind of conditional parameter that I can put in the function changetext() so that it used clear local overrides?

  Thank you.

  Horse
  

  Use findGrep() (or findText()) instead of changeText(). This returns an array of items found. Then, you can loop through the array and apply a paragraph style without erasing the replacements (the 2nd parameter must be false).

  Example:

  Main();
  
  function Main() {
      var foundItem;
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  
      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
      app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "Body text";
  
      var foundItems = doc.findGrep();
  
      for (var i = 0; i < foundItems.length; i++) {
          foundItem = foundItems[i];
          foundItem.applyParagraphStyle(doc.paragraphStyles.item("Body"), false);
      }
  
      app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
  }
  

• 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': [
          {
              'style': 'Product - Title No Indent',
              'text': [
                  'Test Product',
                  {
                      'style': 'Superscript',
                      'text': '®'
                  },
                  ' Title'
              ]
          },
  
          { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
          { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
          { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
          {
              'style': 'Product - Description',
              'text': ['Designed for monitoring steam sterilization processes.']
          },
      ]
  }];
  
  function add_text_to_frame (frame, product) {
      var i, l, j, k, line, style, line_styles, char_style, line_text, bit;
  
      for ( i = 0, l = product.text.length; i < l; i++ ) {
          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.

• Count the unused paragraph styles

  I tried to put the name of the style and the group, because that's how it works if you do it manually, IE body text (body). But it does not work.

  Can you make best use of all styles of paragraph in your document instead of styles of paragraph of the document, which should access the independent styles of groups? You would have to give on the name using as reference (probably a good thing anyway) and use the style itself (in your find/replace).
