• retention of the words italic when you apply the paragraph style

  When you place text in InDesign, I want to apply a paragraph style, but keep some (foreign) words in italics without having to search for each word and apply the italic character style. Texts are long and not originated by myself.

  The most recommended book for beginners here on the forum is Visual QuickStart of Sandee Cohen for InDesign. The 'bible' in my opinion, for very advanced users is Real World InDesign.

• Apply the paragraph style to a glyph and not the glyph displayed?

  I have a large Word document I have to mark up with different paragraph styles. Fortunately the data contains different glyphs for specific text strings, and so I might have the styles of paragraph kick in when he meets the glyph. But ultimately, I need to remove the glyphs when I go to print, and therefore the style will be deleted also.

  I wonder if it is possible to change the glyph to some kind og hidden state. I could mess with the x position of the text string, but I'm not not to keen on this solution. Someone has an idea?

  You must use 'GREP', not 'text', in the Find/Replace window!

• 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.

• ID CC 2015 crashes as soon as I (try to) apply the paragraph style to the text.

  I work on a Mac Pro (mid-2009), OS X 10.10.4, 16 GB of RAM

  Original hard drive is 1 TB (where applications are installed), second drive (designated as working drive, and where all the work files are housed) is 2 TB.

  Currently subscribe to Adobe CC 2015, using InDesign with last update

  I have been working for several days on a long paper (paper) and have developed 12 paragraph styles, using two fonts - Garamond first Pro and Helvetica Neue LT and the document has facing pages.

  Yesterday, my client (the author) has asked all text flow on the odd pages, for illustrations on all pages, so I did all the text boxes thread directly downward of pages on the right (odd pages).

  The first three chapters were style before I changed the threading of text box. Now, when I open the document and begin to apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the text (nine more chapters, which automatically adopted the style of main text as soon as I stuck in the newly-threaded text boxes), ID crashes when I highlighted a section of text and click a paragraph style.

  I checked the permissions and preferences. The only thing I can think is from the document from scratch.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thread the text boxes only on odd pages cause the problem, since it does not have facing pages?

  Thank you.

  There could be corruption in the document.

  Save the document with IDML and reopen the IDML in InDesign.

• Apply the paragraph style instead of runned text simply by clicking on the text box

  I'm changing the style of the text entity. Is there another way to change it to select all the text, and then set the style?

  

  IT is threaded text block (not a box!) you have to select all the blocks of text at a time in the thread (which is impossible if they are on different spreads) or you must select all of the text to apply a style.

  If the text block is not passed, you can select and apply the text.

  I do not see a problem to select all the text. Use the text tool, click in the text and the cmd/ctrl + A and apply the style. Not a problem, not a lot of work.

  A box is something like BleedBox, CropBox or something like that. Objects in InDesign are still frames or paths.

• Lightroom will not apply the changes to all my pictures until the preview icon is visible in the active window in grid mode

  Hello

  I have about 4000 photos taken with my GoPro I would use a Time lapse video.

  I decided to correct the colors first, so I imported it in LightRoom. I have made changes to the first image, selected images (ctrl + a) and click on the sync button.

  Now, the weird thing is that I made to the first image doesn't apply to the rest of the images if I display of the thumbnail in the library grid mode view.

  For example, I will scroll to a random part of the grid of images and preview images show the original image. After a few seconds, the previews will be all up to date with changes made to the first image.

  Even tried exporting as tab video slide show to see if the changes have been made to all photos, but that reflects not only the icons - no dice. Any input would be much appreciated!

  Thank you!

  I think it is a bug specific to slide show > video Export.  I tested with 5800 1000 x 750 in double JPEG format, change the exposure of the first to be very dark and synchronization so that change to all others.  When I exported all 5800 photos in a folder, they all had the exhibition has changed; Ditto when I did slide show > export as PDF.  But when I did slide show > export video, I observed the same symptoms that you have done: only those photos that I had actually seen thumbnails in library obtained grid view the correct exposure setting in the video.

  I recommend that report you this bug in the official Adobe feedback forum, where Adobe has asked that all the deferred bugs: Active recently in Photoshop on Photoshop Lightroom family.  Don't forget to include a detailed step by step recipe to reproduce the bug.  Adobe tends to not pay attention to the reports for which they are unable to reproduce the symptoms quickly.

• Why my script will not resize the font to size 13?

  I have JavaScript code that is supposed to change the font size for all text boxes. I want the police to size 13. The range of size text boxes to size 10.49 4.76. Right now, the script changes of size 12 or 14 (or something that is not 13).

  var myDocument = app.activeDocument;  
    
    
  var tfs = myDocument.textFrames;  
  var n = tfs.length;  
    
    
  for ( i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ ) {  
            tfs[i].textRange.characterAttributes.textFont = app.textFonts.getByName("BebasNeue");   
            tfs[i].textRange.characterAttributes.size = 13; //nothing happens during this stage unless I change 13 to 14  
  }  
  
  

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Weird indeed! In addition, how you import XML files into your pie charts? Is there a chart by document or multiple ones?

  Well, you can try set their font and it takes another font and only 13 and then return Bebas?

• Insert a blank space in the paragraph style?

  Is it possible to integrate a white space inserted (en character) in a paragraph style?

  I created a paragraph to chapter headings style. Chapter and number are centered horizontally on the page with a thick end line (key) on each side - a little like that, except that I use the dashboard to create the line in this example:

  -------------------------------------  Chapter 2  ------------------------------------

  Inserted white spaces before and after 'Chapter 2'.  However, when I try to apply the paragraph style to another title, the spaces are not there.

  (Line thin thickness was created as text underscore and the offset is vertically centered with the text.  It would make a difference if I created the thick end line in the form of a graph?)

  Oh and I also tried to create an object style, but it does not recognize spaces, either.  I know that something will work, but little by little learning has not met yet the solution.

  Thank you.

  Do it like this:

  1 make the high line a paragraph above net. Assign the 'Column' width (full) and set its vertical offset in right position.

  2. Add a paragraph below NET. Together, this upright even shifted, but makes a little (or a lot) more thick. Set its color [Book]. Set the width of 'Text', not 'column '. Then set the negative value of the width approx. white space you want on the left and right - something like 'mm-2' the left indent and right.

  3. you're done!

  

• Is it possible to change the paragraph style (none)?

  Whenever I make a bulleted list or a numbered list, I get a syle of fonts that we don't use in our project.  I tried to change this style, but it is grayed out.  All other styles allow editing.  How can I change this default style (none)?  I did a search in the file help and on the forum but have not seen any results.  It's too simple or others are ok with this style.

  Thank you

  The choice is to apply other styles like I did, or simply to set your LI style, which is the way of pure HTML. The reason why I do that you cannot map the tag LI for printed documents. I have just started the list, select the style that I want and that's all. It is an extra step.

  What is behind this change is that people complained that the code should be clean and now it is the case, people are aware there is a down side.

  When no style is applied, as zero, the police will be what is defined by the browser. Try changing the default font in your browser for some obscure fonts and generates output. What you'll see is this obscure font. Now see the same output to another browser with a different default font.

  You may not modify any as Willam explained. None means that no style is applied so that applies the default value of the browser. You will see may not be in Arial, the next person may see as something else. Modify a CSS sets styles you include in this CSS. You apply the paragraph styles or you don't, as in no style is applied that in none.

  Clearer now?

• How to create custom underscore and make a style that will not change the style of text when it is applied?

  Hi, I just want to know how can I create custom underscore and make a style, so that when I apply it to the text it right to point out that the article selected

  As long as no other character style is applied, you can create and apply a character style that is completely empty except for underscores. That will add an underline without affecting the text in any other way. If a different character style is already you must either add an underscore to this style definition (which will add an underline to all text formatted with this style) or make a copy of the style and add the underline, and then apply the new style.

• Help with a script that detects the content in a cell and apply the cell style to line

  Hello

  
  

  I am trying to add an article to my table formatting script that is a cell with the word 'Budget' (but this can be written as ' Budget:' or ' Budget: (E) "- but without the speech marks) and apply the cell Style - SponsorCells - to all the cells of the whole line. I currently have on what it will, but it does not work:

  
  

  function checkWhichTable()
  {
  // ensure the user made a selection
  if (app.selection.length != 1)
  return null;
  var currentTable = app.selection[0];
  if (currentTable.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
  {
  currentTable = app.selection[0].parent;
  }
  while (currentTable instanceof Cell || currentTable instanceof Row || currentTable instanceof Column)
  currentTable = currentTable.parent;
  if (!(currentTable instanceof Table))
  {
  // No table selected
  return null;
  }
  return currentTable;
  }
  app.doScript(checkUserSelection, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Process Table");
  
  
  function checkUserSelection ()
  {
  var a_table = checkWhichTable();
  if (a_table == null)
  {
  if (confirm("No table selected. Do you want to process *all* tables?") == false)
  return;
  allTables = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
  for (aTable=0; aTable<allTables.length; aTable++)
  {
  processTable (allTables[aTable]);
  }
  } else
  {
  processTable (a_table);
  }
  }
  function processTable(table)
  {
  // do something here!
  
  
  //Set 1st Row Height
  table.rows[0].height = "30mm";
  
  
  //Find Text in Cell and apply Cell Style to Row 
  var  
    myCellText=['Budget', 'Budget:', 'Budget: (E)'];  
   var myRegEx = new RegExp("^("+myCellText.join("|")+")$");
    for (i=0; i<table.cells.length; i++)
    {
      if (table.cells[i].texts[0].contents.match(myRegEx))
        table.cell[i].appliedCellStyle = "SponsorCells";
    }
  
  
  //end - do something here!
  }  
  

  
  

  I can get the script to apply the cell style to "SponsorCells" for each cell that contain the word 'Budget' etc, but I need cell ever on this line to have the cell style applied. I tried to re-write line 56 which applies the style to a cell, but I can't seem to make it work. Any help would be great.

  
  

  Separate on this issue, I would like to have a line of code similar to the 46 line, which sets the 1st height of lines, but I would like to say "If a cell has 'A cell Style' and then applies the value height 10 mm". If someone could result as a help of bonuses, things would be great double.

  
  

  Thanks in advance!
  

  But that could be painfully slow. To speed things up, follow these steps:

  var cells = table.cells.everyItem().getElements();
  for (var i=0; i
  It is faster, because it creates an array of cells with a call to table.cells, which is several times faster than calling table.cells. And before assigning to line 12mm height is useful to check if it is already 12 mm. checking things in InDesign and do things only when it is necessary is much more effective than simply doing things even if they are not necessary.
  		   

• Apply the character style to the part of the paragraph

  I am inserting text in a block of text with the following code:

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += pgfStr;

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += "\t";

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += refStr;

  story.insertionPoints [-1] .silence += "\r";

  I want to apply the character style to all of the text in refStr (only the part of this paragraph). I know how the syling paragraph applies to the entire paragraph, but not a character style. I should be grateful if you would help. Thank you!

  Hello

  Dan - BTP says:

  ... the size in points and attack can be different on each page...

  You are able to find a rule of these differences?

  ...

  What do depends on what type of rule could be defined

  ...

  The size of reference point that is 1.5 PT lower than the point size of the paragraph, whatever.

  Close to the end of the script, you can code for example:

       //     Your target is "reference" which is a text inbetween tabulator and end of story (or other criteria).
       //     So you could define:
  app.findGrepPreferences = null;      // just for clear it
  app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?<=\\t).+\\s\\Z";     //     to catch text following tab in last para of story
       //     and after:
  mFound = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
       //     so all desired text objects are in an array "mFound".
       //     you could iterate (backward) through it:
  len = mFound.length;
  while (len-->0)      //     ">0" in case of nothing found
       mFound[len].pointSize -= 1.5;
  
       //     whatever that is - is 1.5 smaller
