• CS3: need script to replace spaces with underscores in the paragraph and character style names

  Help! I am very new to scripting.

  I managed to find and tweak existing javascripts to search through all my paragraph styles to disable hyphenation and off balance the jagged lines, but I need help with this one.

  I work on Mac OS 10.4.11 using Indesign CS3.

  I need a script that will search all my paragraph and character styles in my open Active document and replace spaces by underscores.

  Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

  1. I don't know, but I think you can use all the regular GREP inside this function codes. Do not use the quotation marks around of the expression, use slashes! (Why? Just a curiosity of Javascript... maybe a hack that goes back to the gray mist of JS development...)

  This work should - but rather the code above, this is not tested:

  .. Replace (/ [-\ / ()-. _] + / g. '_');

  The GOLD group inbetween the brackets contain all the characters you want to replace with an underscore: the hyphen (this has to be the first character in the group, else it will be interpreted as a range of characters from each side!), space, slash (this one is 'special' inside the function replace JavaScript, so I think he needs to escape with a backslash)! in parentheses, a period (not sure if it should escape - into ordinary GREP, it's the wildcard character for any character, but maybe he loses his magic within a group of GOLD) and finally... the underscore character. Why?

  Well, this replacement string comes with a free bonus. Note the sign after the installment of GOLD +. This means that a whole sequence of these characters is replaced by a simple underscore: "it's / a - / test" will become "This_is_a_test". Adding the underscore line itself to the string of research means that it will also find the whole chain 'space space (stroke underscore)' in 'This style (_)' and, oh magic!, replace it immediately with a single underscore.

  Just FYI, the tiny "g" after the closing slash is abbreviation of 'global', i.e. at the global level, replacing in this string. replace the default values for a replacement only (why? see above...), and adding the 'g' ensures he keeps replacing until it is not find matches more.

  2 see point 1.

  3. uh, yes it's true, but you will need to check very carefully if nothing inside one of these basic models is substituted. You can apply a base style and add substitutions to make look like a subtitle, but that isn't making it a. And to the next paragraph, you can apply a base style and add substitutions to make it look like a paragraph of plain text (etc.). It's a signature of witness to bad formatting...

• Cannot delete the paragraph format

  I created a template with titre3 instead of Head3 - same name just different properties. I deleted all the paragraph formats, imported the new model, updated headers. Head3 remains persistent in the document. I don't then uncheck the box for NextParagraph so that there is no required following paragraph. It just removes himself from the period of document. I tried to remove it from the catalog and it does not remove the format. But this is still in the document. Any thoughts?

  I noticed something like this in the past as well. I don't know what caused it.

  My problem was:

  • Save as MIF.
  • Open the MIF with a text editor.
  • Search the text in the paragraph of the problem.
  • Check if it has the attribute set to Yes flocked. If Yes, change the No.
  • Save the MIF file.
  • Open it in FrameMaker. Check, if you can change the format of your problem paragraph subsection.

  Hello:

  The recent post from Dennis ("phiguru"?) touched on my problem, but mine is more simple.

  I stupidly changed text one together heading to red to remind me that basically contained revisions are needed, and that the old "mat" is not for publication. (I was in a hurry and were recalled from the conditional tags, of course. (Duh).

  Now, I'm trying to restore the paragraph formats affected in their original fonts colors. (Fortunately, my stupid first color change appears not to have affected the same paragraph formats in other topics.)

  These images seemed terrible when I posted this a moment ago, thank God by clicking on it opens a larger and clearer version.

  

  Using the editing tool - the icon of the pencil in the Styles and pod-shaped, I am trying to change the color of the font. Seems pretty simple, but just in case:

  

  The line "tile Texture Mapping... "is one of the guilty parties heading 3 that refuses to change. I have change the color black, light underscore, click OK, and get nothing.

  I don't expect anything really of the 20th century to occur, such as the change applied universally, but when you tap on a new blank line which has been designated the heading 3, the new text is still red.

  Go to an existing line of heading 3 reddened and re - select the style desired apply a menu Style drop-down at the top left only annoys me that same infuriating business cited by Dennis:

  

  You want to:

  1. update the Franck to reflect recent changes?

  2. reapply the setting in the form style to the selection?

  Any advice, anyone? I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but he continues to elude me, and my line of work, life and time are running ever forward.

  Thank you.

• second line to the paragraph indented using styles?

  made anyone know if its possible in Indesign to do the second line of the paragraph indented using styles?

  I'm working on a book and I put the first word of each paragraph to be slightly larger and a different font to the rest of the paragraph. I did it using a style nested with the paragraph style. I also want to do what the second line is indented from the amount of space to the first word on the first line. This isn't problem doing this maunally but I want to find a way to define a style for this so that I can compose the book like this.

  any help is appreciated!

  Looks like you're talking to "drop words".

• Help about the paragraph and character styles scriptting

  Hi all

  I'm working on a project with many files, I change change on all styles of paragraph with multiple processes

  for ex, change the font for all styles of paragraph on all open documents

            var docs = app.documents;  
                   
            for (var d = docs.length-1; d >= 0; d--) {  
                    var doc=docs[d]; 
                    
  var pstyles = doc.allParagraphStyles;  
  for (var a = 1; a < pstyles.length; a++) {    
                            if (pstyles[a].appliedFont.name=="Arial\tBold")    
                                 pstyles[a].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold Italic";    
                       }
                   }
  

  but I found a text inside frames (the locked position) my find/replace a not to apply to this topic

  so, is there anyway to do this process for all chassis from locked position?

  or at least make the lock of the United Nations to all open documents, but I can only do this for the active doc

  app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem (.locked = false)

  Another thing, I tried to change it on all styles of character on the files and I wrote the code with my little knowledge script but it seems does not, any hint please?

            var docs = app.documents;  
                   
            for (var d = docs.length-1; d >= 0; d--) {  
                    var doc=docs[d]; 
                    
  var cstyles = doc.allCharacterStyles;  
  for (var a = 1; a < cstyles.length; a++) {    
                            if (cstyles[a].appliedFont.name=="Arial\tBold")    
                                 cstyles[a].appliedFont = "Arial\tBold Italic";  
                       }
  }
           }  
  

  Thanks in advance

  Maybe your consolidated text block... Try this

  docs var = app.documents.

  for (var docs.length - 1; d = d > = 0; d-) {}

  var doc = docs [d];

  var pgItems = doc.allPageItems;

  for (var a = 0;< pgitems.length;="" a++)="">

  If (pgItems [a] instanceof TextFrame) {}

  While (doc.groups.length > 0)

  doc.groups.everyItem () .ungroup ();

  pgItems [a] .locked = false;      }

  }

  }

• Reapply the paragraph format

  Hi all

  Once more, it seems that I have "put the cart before the horse" do the following:

  -In the current document, I have a text selection and want to reapply bmp format from the catalog to the current portfolio.

  -Take the catalog properties and apply to current TFP do nothing.

  function ReApplyPgfFormat (oDoc, tRange) {
  // oDoc        current document
  // tRange      current text range
    var currPgf = tRange.beg.obj;
    var pgfFormat = currPgf.Name;                   // most likely Footnote, but not guaranteed
    var pgfFmt = oDoc.GetNamedPgfFmt(pgfFormat);    
    var pgfProps = pgfFmt.GetProps();               // from catalogue
    currPgf.SetProps(pgfProps);                     // re-apply
  alert ("Reformatting done?");                     // re-apply did not happen
  }
  

  I was looking in the documentation (fdk reference, object reference) in both directions - but do not have the slightest idea.

  This is the final solution to my problem which is not just re - apply the current format ¶:

  • Although the paste operation inserts something with different format, the information field lower left does not indicate the number-one changed format. There is no * after the format name.
  • After inserting (replacing) the temp. quote by a record of biblographic number indicates the sizes and mixed fonts. Only a part of the ¶ is selected (the part where was the quote found Temp.).

  What I ned to do in my case is the following:

  • Get only font family and size of the font of the catalogue
  • Only apply these properties to the completely selected ¶

  function ReApplyFontAndSize (oDoc, tRange) {
    oDoc.TextSelection = tRange;                    // current selection is only part of ¶
    var currPgf = oDoc.TextSelection.beg.obj;
    var pgfFmt = 0, propsPgf;
    pgfFmt = oDoc.GetNamedPgfFmt(currPgf.Name);    // get properties from catalogue  
  
    if (!pgfFmt.ObjectValid()) {                   // pgf fmt is not in catalogue
      return;
    }
    propsPgf = AllocatePropVals(2);                // for font-family and -size
    propsCatlg = pgfFmt.GetProps();                // get properties from catalogue
    j =  GetPropIndex(propsCatlg, Constants.FP_FontFamily);
    propsPgf[0] = propsCatlg [j];
    j =  GetPropIndex(propsCatlg, Constants.FP_FontSize);
    propsPgf[1] = propsCatlg [j]; 
  
    tRange.beg.obj = currPgf;                      // select the whole paragraph
    tRange.beg.offset = 0;
    tRange.end.obj = currPgf;
    tRange.end.offset = Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET;
    oDoc.TextSelection = tRange;
    oDoc.SetTextProps (tRange, propsPgf);          // apply font family and size
  } // --- end ReApplyFontAndSize
  

  This can be streamlined - but it does what it should.

• Change the paragraph by Script Style

  Hello!

  I don't know if this is the right place for this question but since its related to scripting, I'll ask here.

  Is it possible to change the paragraph Styles InDesign with a Script?

  For example, I need set Format1 hyphenation to specific values properties without changing the other properties. For Format2, I need to change other properties such as the Glph scaling.

  Like I need to do this with a lot of files, I suppose that the best way to archive it could be a script.

  Is there someone who had an idea on how to do it?

  Thanks in advance

  Thomas

  You're right, this can be done very effectively with a (relatively) simple script. This is an excerpt from a longer script of mine which covers a changing choice of design of end minutes documents open at once:

  for (i=0; i

  Hi Liphou,

  .silence is indeed a property of type string only disregardingly of styles, anchor frames and other animals.

  You prefer the use of object methods and duplicate stories. However styles can be substituted with the target document. If you can load styles before the duplication of the text.

  var main = function() {
      var doc, st, tempDoc, f, tf;
      if (!app.documents.length
          || app.selection.length!=1
          || !app.selection[0].properties.parentStory) {
          alert("You need to select text or text frame");
          return;
      }
  
      doc = app.activeDocument;
  
      if ( !doc.properties.fullName ) {
          alert("Please save file first !");
          return;
      }
  
      st = app.selection[0].parentStory;
      f = File ( doc.fullName );
      tempDoc = app.documents.add();
      tempDoc. importStyles ( ImportFormat.TEXT_STYLES_FORMAT, f, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE );
  
      tf = tempDoc.textFrames.add();
      st.duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, tf.insertionPoints[0]);
      tf.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);

• Adding anchors based on the paragraph in Javascript Style

  I've read over the documentation for days and just trying to understand how to add an anchor point to a paragraph in javascript style. That's what I have so far:

  main() {} function

  myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  var num_pars = myDoc.stories [0].paragraphs.length;

  for (i = 0; i < num_pars; i ++) {}

  If (myDoc.stories [0].paragraphs.item (i).appliedParagraphStyle.name == "Title") {}

  aText = app.activeDocument.stories [0] .paragraphs [0];

  aDest = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextDestinations.add(aText,{name:aText.contents});)

  }

  }

• Control the vertical text with styles (or similar) rationale

  I'm on a 450-page document which is divided into 20 separate chapters. Each chapter is divided into sections and each section begins with a title that includes a page break. This means that some end of sections with a few paragraphs of text on a page is empty.

  Where pages are close to full text, I like to get the vertical justification to "justify" so that the leader/line spacing is adjusted to the top and bottom lines in uniform positions.

  Is it possible to do this automatically and without having to manually turn the parameter "align: top ' on pages without text? (and therefore, in which the setting seems ridiculous?)

  (I'm working to be able to make changes to the content of re-importation of text for future versions without having to manually change the settings on each image whenever, if there are major changes in the length of the text, etc.).

  Thanks if you can help!

  Here is a review of your options of native InDesign (which boil down to the use of the sequence and rotating Options on vertical Justification).

  Substances wrote a plugin "Proper vertical Justification" which is very nice. I've never used and am not connected with in - Tools.com (in addition to having purchased their products).

  (I'm working to be able to make changes to the content of re-importation of text for future versions without having to manually change the settings on each image whenever, if there are major changes in the length of the text, etc.).

  I deal with "major changes in the length of the text" on a daily basis, due to the expansion of text or compression in the translation. The best way to do it, in my experience, is to style all your text with an object Style frames and wisely use keep Options. At the very least, make two object Styles - one for 'body' of the text, and then one for 'last page' text alignment at the top. In this way, you can simply insert/delete pages in the middle of your chapter, and you will not need to access text block options at all.
