• Move the style Group paragraph styles

  Hello

  I want to spend the paragraph styles of Group of paragraph style to the paragraph style palette.  I use the code to do so below.  Styles of the style group is moved outwards but on display inside the style group. All the elements of paragraph style are no name moved style return.  He took the last paragraph style in the style group.

  test (App.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups);

  Alert (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.length + "-" + app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .name)

  function test (PPMs)

  {

  try {}

  for (var i = sGrp.length - 1; i > = 0; i--)

  {

  cstyleGrp = PRGS [i];

  for (var j = cstyleGrp.paragraphStyles.length - 1; j > = 0; j-)

  {

  var cstylGrpStyle = cstyleGrp.paragraphStyles [j];

  cstylGrpStyle.move (LocationOptions.AT_END, app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles [app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.length - 1]);

  cstylGrpStyle.move (LocationOptions.AT_END, null);

  cstylGrpStyle.move (LocationOptions.AFTER, app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles [0]);

  }

  If (cstyleGrp.paragraphStyleGroups.Length > 0)

  {

  test (cstyleGrp.paragraphStyleGroups);

  }

  }

  } catch (e) {}

  }

  

  

  You can get the behavior very buggy if you aren't careful with moving paragraph styles!

  Either way, the right way to move from a paragraph style is like this (you will need to edit the code below as well as p becomes a reference to a real paragraph style):

  d = app.activeDocument;

  p = / * some paragraph style in a group of para-style * /.

  The following line move p in paragraph style out of his group and in the list of paragraph styles in the document d

  p.Move (LocationOptions.UNKNOWN, d);

• How to delte empty the paragraph style palette Style group

  Hi guys,.

  I want to delete my folder empty paragraphStyleGroups that are the Style of Style group 1 and group 3 (see photo) of my palette.

  I need a code js for this task.

  I have created the script, but it removes all the Style of my Panel group.

  Here's the script:

  for (p = 0; p < myStyleGroup.length; ++ p)

  myStyleGroup [p] .remove ();

  

  Please suggest!

  for (var p = styleGroups.length-1; p >= 0; p--) {
       ProcessGroups(styleGroups[p]);

• Replace the language of the styles in the Style group

  Hi all

  Can anyone help to modify my script so it could also change the styles in the Style group. I tried several times by creating a loop nested under another variable for paragraphStyleGroups but I can't make it work.

  myDoc = app.activeDocument;

  myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;

  myCStyles = myDoc.characterStyles;

  for (i = 1; i < myStyles.length; i ++)

  {

  myStyle = myStyles [i];

  myStyle.appliedLanguage = "Spanish";

  }

  for (i = 1; i < myCStyles.length; i ++)

  {

  myCStyle = myCStyles [i];

  myCStyle.appliedLanguage = "Spanish";

  }

  Your help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Use allParagraphStyles and allCharacterStyles.

  myStyles = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;

  myCStyles = myDoc.allCharacterStyles;

• [AS] [CS3] script find/repalace with style groups

  Hello world

  I've been struggling with this problem for a while and hope someone can enlighten us.

  I'm trying to use applescript to run a series of queries to search and replace.

  For example:

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
  paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences
  font style to find value text preferences 'italic book '.
  style character applied to change the value text preferences 'italic book '.
  tell document 1
  change the text
  tell the end
  tell the end

  This works great except if the document contains styles within groups of styles, in which case, I get an error saying

  "Adobe InDesign CS3 has been an error: invalid value for the set of"applied paragraph style"property."

  String, style section or anything, but received the "text". »

  If you do the find/replace manually, the paragraph style text (hand) indicating that the text is inside the hand of the style group.

  How can I specify it in the script?

  Thank you!

  InDesign is forgiving if you specify your style just in name, but in the case of groups of styles, be more specific.

  Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

  -paragraph style applied to find the value of "Text" text preferences

  the value applied paragraph style to find text preferences for the paragraph style "Text" of the paragraph style group 'Hand' of the active document

  end say

• [JS InDesign CS3] Style groups, Caprice in colors! (or: how to make the styles of paragraph and character off groups style?)

  Sorry for this question (and my terrible English, incidentally), I'm a javascript noob and I know when I reached my limits.

  Well, I'm taking a set of paragraph and character style groups styles, they are placed in hundreds of InDesign documents (which cannot be regarded as a book). As much as I've tried (thanks to the invaluable help of previous messages in this forum), I was able to move a style to a group and change its position within the group, inside root-level, or between the groups. But it is not matter how I try, I don't know which move reference should I try in case I want to take each style outside the style group and place them after their original level group, folder style [Root].

  I tried:

  var doc=app.activeDocument;
  var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
  
  for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
       var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
       for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
  // Here I am, trying to move a style outside the folder that contains it, and failing miserably.
            pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pGroups[i]);
       }
  }
  

  He did not, the script has sent an invalid parameter value in the reference field, so I can't use the folder of the group itself as reference.

  Tried (obviously false) alternatives, such as the first available style using as reference. So my second script was

  var doc=app.activeDocument;
  var pStyles=doc.allParagraphStyles;
  var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups;
  
  for (i=pGroups.length-1; i>=0; i--){
       var pStylesInGroup=pGroups[i].paragraphStyles;
       for (j=pStylesInGroup.length-1; j>=0; j--){
  // Now I try placing the styles after the [Basic Paragraph], that is, the second paragraph style in the document style list 
            pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.after, pStyles[1]);
       }
  }
  
  

  It did not work either, another invalid parameter in the reference field. Similar results with my other attempts (I even tried "[Root]" as literal with similar luck).

  So my question is: what command (or script, in case my approach is quite wrong) should I use to accomplish my goal?

  Thanks in advance to those who decide to spend more than a minute thinking about my humble worries and my apologies for some of your lines of code Ripper shamelessly for my purposes.

  Well, tried a few things and I really weird results!

  1. you can move a style within its group.

  2. you can move a style to one group "to" the other, but it will appear "inside" of this style. I got my style of test as a subdivision of [standard paragraph], using index #1. By the index 0 # InDesign ([no paragraph Style]) crashed.

  3. you can duplicate the style, but then you get a copy of the same group. Still no luck.

  4 finally! What is the parent of a paragraph style?

  Document | Request | ParagraphStyleGroup

  'Application' is easy - it's when you do a global style. So, what's the difference between 'Document' and 'paragraphStyleGroup '? Single - well, when you get finally he...

  pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
  

  move the style out of the Group and at the end of the list in the document. I don't think it's possible to move directly to a specific position in the main style list - you first need to move a group, then move it around in its own list.

  Fortunately, he returns his new position as a definition once again, if necessary, you can use

  newStyle = pStylesInGroup[j].move (LocationOptions.AT_END, doc);
  newStyle.move (LocationOptions.AFTER, pStyles[1]);
  

  -I haven't really tried this possibility, but it should work.

• Remove groups of styles

  Hello! I have about 400 Indesign documents that have all of the 29 groups of paragraph style I need is no longer. Is there a way to delete these, as well as of their content, with a script? All style groups a group of corresponding character style that would be fine if it were to be deleted also.

  Greetings from Records,

  Mikael home

  Try this,

  var myInddFileList = File.openDialog ("Choose the InDesign files to remove Paragraph Style Group..." , "*.indd", true);

• How Referance groups paragraph Style in the Code?

  How reference to a paragraph in style Group before a paragraph style in the code? My "Heading 1" paragraph style is in a group, called "headings".

  myStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item("Heading 1");
  myStyle.appliedFont = "Microsoft JhengHei";
  
  

  

  Richard:

  I build a large number of files Indesign containing the tag text, and this is an example of what I am at the beginning of the line when the style is located in a group.  The style name is "AGBoldCtr" and it is located in the group "xSports."

  American League

  In the code, I create a variable for a style to a group like this:

  var PPHead = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("xSports").paragraphStyles.item ("AGPPHead");

  Then, I attribute PPHead variable of a paragraph as in:

  app.activeDocument.selection [0] .paragraphs [iLoop] .appliedParagraphStyle = PPHead;      //

• FindChangeByList script question, re: when a style is part of a group of style

  Hello

  I use script FindChangeByList InDesign and run into a problem.

  Here's the line of problem:

  grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Text").paragraphStyles.item("Body2.TextIndent"), changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

  What I'm trying to do, it's each paragraph in shape with the style called "Body2.TextIndent" which is in my style sheets in a group called "text".

  This line does not work for me; I get a JavaScript "Error #17.". Error string: the variable name expected. »

  Please note that I CAN get this line to work just fine if I use a style that is NOT in a group. For example, this line works very well for me:

  grep {findWhat:"^."} {appliedParagraphStyle:"Body2.TextIndent", changeConditionsMode:1919250519} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true} //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

  The problem is apparently that the FindChangeByList script does not like style groups. I found it by internet Google and found this link:

  http://www.listsearch.com/InDesign/thread/index.Lasso?17986

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you.

  What version of InDesign are you using?

  The following line works for me on CS3, Mac.

  grep     {findWhat:"^."}     {appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Text").paragraphStyles.item("Body2.TextIndent")}     {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true}     //Change everything to Text.indent2 style

• How quickly apply a style that is located in a group of style?

  I'm just trying apply a style to a table cell. Imagine myRow has been set for the row in the table, I work with, and My Fancy Style is the cell style that I created in my InDesign document.

  myRow.cells.item (0) .appliedCellStyle = "My Fancy Style."

  apply apparently this style quickly and without fuss. But now, if I created a style Group called fancy Styles through the InDesign user interface, and put my cell Style fancy inside, so I don't know any way to call directly as a string of text. It is possible somehow as:

  myRow.cells.item (0) .appliedCellStyle = "Styles of fantasy / My Fancy cell Style ';"

  of course I know does not work. I ask if there is a way as to make what I hope. Thank you!

  Why not just

  myStyle = app.documents [0].cellStyleGroups.item ("fancy Styles'). cellStyles.item ("Fancy cell Style");

• Remove styles of paragraph and character (keep substitutions)

  Hello

  Trying to write a script that will delete all the points and character Styles that are also included in the groups and keep overrides.

  So far:

  //Remove paragraphStyles
  var docs = app.documents.everyItem().getElements();  
  var dl = docs.length;  
  while (dl--)   
      {  
          var parStl = docs[dl].paragraphStyles.everyItem().getElements();  
          var pl = parStl.length;  
          while (pl--) if (parStl[pl].name != "[Basic Paragraph]" && parStl[pl].name != "[No Paragraph Style]") parStl[pl].remove();  
       }
  
  
  //Remove characterStyles
  var chs1 = myDoc.characterStyles.length;    
      for(var j=chs1-1; j>0; j--)
      {    
        myDoc.characterStyles[j].remove();    
      }
  

  After you change the code snippet to remove groups:

  main();
  function main(){
      var targetDoc = app.activeDocument;
      removeAllTypeStyles (targetDoc);
  }
  
  function removeAllTypeStyles (targetDoc) {
      //remove all paragraph styles
      for (var ps = targetDoc.allParagraphStyles.length - 1; ps >= 0; ps--) {
          if (targetDoc.allParagraphStyles[ps].name != "[No Paragraph Style]" && targetDoc.allParagraphStyles[ps].name != "[Basic Paragraph]") {
              targetDoc.allParagraphStyles[ps].remove (targetDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName ("[No Paragraph Style]"));
          }
      }
      //remove all character styles
      for (var cs = targetDoc.allCharacterStyles.length - 1; cs >= 0; cs--) {
          if (targetDoc.allCharacterStyles[cs].name != "[None]") {
              targetDoc.allCharacterStyles[cs].remove (targetDoc.characterStyles.itemByName ("[None]"));
          }

          targetDoc.paragraphStyleGroups[pg].remove ();
      }
      //remove all character style groups
      for (var cg = targetDoc.characterStyleGroups.length - 1; cg >= 0; cg--) {
          targetDoc.characterStyleGroups[cg].remove ();

• How can I move pages from one document to the other without merger of paragraph styles?

  I want to create a singular indesign file of 2 separate documents, which allows me to make an interactive PDF of it.

  However, when you move pages from one to the other, it seems that when each document has a paragraph style with the same name, they merge. The problem is that text is then adjusted if the styles do not match completely.

  Is there a way to merge the documents without any formatting changes?

  Create a Style group in each document and move all styles in this file. Give each document a different name. Do it with all kinds of styles: paragraph, character, objects, tables and Cell Styles. Then you can sort them later in the merged document what you do with these styles.

• Implement 'Apply Style unless'

  Hello

  In web design you can create exceptions by saying: If something happens after, or nearby, to do this. IE (css): h1 + p {margin-top: 0px ;}}

  Is it possible to do it in InDesign?

  I want to give InDesign training: "Apple a paragraph before of 3mm except IF a paragraph style {'title'} ' I want a 'before' larger paragraph on the body of the text when it follows a paragraph in the same style and a narrower paragraph"before"when it follows a cap.

  Thank you

  Nope, InDesign does not have conditional styles. It would be very useful

  feature and you should consider filing a feature request.

  It should always do everything manually - define a separate paragraph

  for each difference in style and apply the styles to paragraph manually. Then

  you have a style called "Subtitle A" and another called "subtitle has."

  After the title of the chapter"etc etc.

  To help keep things under control, it is probably worth taking the time

  to create groups of style paragraph and the different, but related,.

  in their own paragraph styles group. But it is purely a

  organizational thing - it does in fact no additional functionality.

  Cut out the tedious process of having to go through all your

  document by applying right paragraph styles, I sell a script on my

  website (www.freelancebookdesign.com) called "changes".

  Paragraphs', that allows to say something like: "whenever the subtitle.

  is followed by the title of the chapter, replace the subtitle A with

  Sous-titre-A-suite-chapitre-titre"etc. It passes then through the

  document and made the necessary adjustments. Many people use this

  script to save hours of tedious work. Worth a visit if you

  do a lot of it, I think.
