Synchronization of the paragraph and character creative cloud styles
Is it possible to add several styles of paragraph and character of a library of clouds to a doc ID? I can't find a way to add multiple styles at once, one at a time
. Also, when you apply a style to the cloud, it gives me a name conflict, even if the 2 different styles have different names.
These conflicts can come if you have styles based on another on and this is based on another, these styles are also imported and can cause conflicts.

Best way to clean the paragraph and character catalogs?
Over the years, I have created a bunch of tags of paragraph and character for different types of documents: novels, technical manuals, etc. For a given document type, I'll use some tags and some don't. For example, a novel will not use numbered steps or sideheads.
The problem is after years of import for the last tags of a certain type, all files in all chapter books have swelled catalogs, full of tags that are not used and are not applicable for the type of document. I would like to clean these catalogues and let only relevant tags to this kind of document. I'm ready to take the hit if a chapter or book uses a tag that it should not, as long as I know what it is.
What is the "best practices" way to achieve this? What method do you recommend?
- Create a template with the own catalogue file, open each book individually, remove all of the tags file and re - import the template tags?
- Create a template with the own catalogue file, and then create new books of the model, copy and paste the text of the original of the files bloated?
- Others?
I understand that the process will be painful, as to clean out her garage. But I'm sick of tripping over all the echoes I have accumulated.
Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.

Ken,
Your #1 approach is probably the best way to go. However, instead of trying to clean up the tags manually, take a look at paragraph of Steve Kubis and character tools. See: http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html
This will help clean up a lot of things and they are reasonably priced. It also has corresponding tools for the management of cross-references, variables, arrays, and colors that all work you same way. You can try before you buy.

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...

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.

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; }
}
}

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); } main();

Help, I have a problem with the PS and CC - I get and error measure in PS - "this program cannot start because ONCoreFoundation8.dll - is missing... and it crashes, and now creative cloud will not be open to all." I spent more than 2 hours to speak to someone in tech support that I did not understand, and I don't know what to do next. The tech gal was run, but once she hung up he returned to broken. I have an idea, but that's just a guess - trouble started about the time I tried to open On1 of ps there has been a perfect icon effects 9 (for some reason, they decided to add the icon when I got it - I have 8) I clicked it and it loaded the update and then asked me if I wanted to try or buy - that's when I realized that I should have clicked on 8 and tried of back , but is either too late - I think, maybe this dll. 8 or 9 in with perfect On1 effects - and it has changed my settings in PS - and is the reason why it is not compatible - ideas? I have a pc with window7-Carol
