How do I edit a paragraph style in Muse?

Is there a way to change a typeface or other detail in a paragraph stylesheet in Muse? I've tried duplicating the style, and then, when I delete the old one, I replace it with the new one. Is there a more direct way to do that?

Hello,
If you create a paragraph style, then change any attribute, the style has an override. If you'd like to keep this override and redefine the style click the "redefine selected style from attributes" button (highlighted in the screen shot.)

How do I use multiple paragraph styles in one line?

I'm working on my thesis in APA style. I'm creating a Table of Contents with the help of Pages. When you get to Level 3 in APA headings (no problems with Levels 1 and 2) it needs to look like this:
[0.5in Indent] Masculinities in higher education. For men, the college experience.... (paragraph starts on same line as the heading).
I created a paragraph style for the (bolded) heading above [Heading 3]. When I do this, like magic the heading shows up in the table of contents (yeah!). However when I do this the rest of the paragraph shows up too (boo!). When I highlight to change the just rest of the paragraph (not the heading) to the style "Body" it changes the heading too and removes it from the table of contents. How can I make 2 paragraph styles work together in the same paragraph so I can use the tale of contents tool?? Surly there is a work-around.
Pages 5

As the name implies, paragraph styles are not intended to be used on a unit smaller than a paragraph. Therefore if you want the TOC to be automatically generated then you need to have distinct paragraphs... as you specify the APA style with the content and heading continuous then you will have to manually create the TOC.

How to export RTF with paragraph style names?

Anybody can help me "how to export RTF with paragraph style names?"
Thank you

It's not something that's natively done with Indesign.
However it's possible that it might be able to be scripted.

How do I show table paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac)?

Hi community,
I am tryying to apply changes to paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac). But in the list which opens when i click in the triangle only the basis paragraph styles are seen.
Any ideas how and whre i can find theses styles.
Thanks
slyrs

I am sorry that I cannot make myself clear - perhaps because of my language competence
1) There is a table style (for the whole table)
And there are PARAGRAPH-styles for the text-attributes of the text in the table-cells (bold, italic, size, font etc.). I would call this a paragraph-style. This can be seen here:
But this style cannot be edited or changed because it does not show up in the dropdown of the parapgrah-styles - as can be seen here:
You DO NOT FIND the paragraph-style ("Absatzstil" in German) "Tabellenstil 1" in the dropdown.

Get UID of Paragraph Style that is edited in Paragraph Style Options dialog

Paragraph styles can be edited in the "Paragraph Style Options" selectable dialog. I am adding an addition style option panel to this dialog. How can I retrieve the UID of the paragraph style that is currently being displayed in this "Paragraph Style Options" dialog? Can this be obtained in the dialog controller of the additional style option panel (I need to obtain this UID to display and store additional style data)?

Thanks Dirk
One more thing, continuing on the previous theme. I got the paragraph or character style using something like this (thanks to you)
InterfacePtr<IWidgetParent> iWidgetParent(this, IID_IWIDGETPARENT);
if (!iWidgetParent) break;
InterfacePtr<ISelectableDialogSwitcher> iSelectableDialog((ISelectableDialogSwitcher*)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_ISELECTABLEDIALOGSWITCHER));
if (!iSelectableDialog) break;
InterfacePtr<IUIDData> iData(iSelectableDialog, IID_IUIDDATA);
if(iData->GetItemUID()==0) break;
InterfacePtr<ITextAttributes> textAttributes(iData->GetItemUID(),iData->GetItemDataBase(),IID_ITEXTATTRIBUTES);
if(!textAttributes) break;
However when I am trying to get text attributes for Find Change dialog, the IID_IUIDDATA == 0 and therefor returns nothing when trying to get attributes.
Now if I try this code
InterfacePtr<ITextAttributes> textAttributes((ITextAttributes*)iWidgetParent->QueryParentFor(IID_ISAVEDTEXTATTRIBUTES));
then I get the attributes for the find text or change text even when I am using grep dialog.
Theoretically I could get attributes from IFindChangeOptions interface, and I could figure if grep or text is enabled using GetGrepFlag function, but how do I know if I'm in find or change. It should be easy since they are different bosses like you mentioned previously, but I cant figure how to find that info in dialog.

How do you automatically create paragraph styles from a document?

Hi,
(posted in general indesign as well - advised to post over here)
I know I've seen this somewhere but can't for the life of me find it...
How can I automatically create paragraph and character styles in an InDesign CC document? I'm sure I saw a script to do this and though I'll download that later...only i can't find it now.
The scenario is that I have a document created by someone else which has lots of paragraph styles, but each one has over-rides on (so they're not really much use). I'm wanting something that will go through the document and create all the different styles that have been used.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
I was given this tip to try: PerfectPrepText (http://indesignsecrets.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting.php) but couldn't get it to do what i was after unfortunately...however it did point me in the direction of something that does the trick:
PowerStyles (DTP Tools - Power Styles for Adobe InDesign).
Not sure if it's available for CC yet though.

How do I prevent unwanted paragraph style overrides when exporting an epub

I am having trouble controlling the size of a logo in an e-pub. Actually, it's only a problem with Amazon's Kindle which seems to insist on enlarging the image to the full screen width. So, I need a robust command in my CSS to override Kindle's preference. Seems easy. I placed the logo into my In Design layout in a picture box with the object style "frontmatterlogo" which should export into a div of the same name. Which it does. So far so good. However, In Design insists on creating a paragraph style override (see bold in the code below) which disregards the frontmatterlogo settings I've written in to my CSS in favour of it's own image settings which correspond to the size of the placed image. Currently, I've just put together a hacked solution by writing a class for para-style-override into my CSS. It's an inelegant solution but seems to work for all the other e-readers. But, as mentioned, it doesn't work on the Kindle.
Anyone have any idea what is causing these overrides and how I might prevent them so my div class can take over?

Thanks for getting back so quickly, Bob.
I'm using Version 5.5. I have basically the same problem when the object is anchored. In the case below, I created a new paragraph style for the line on which the logo would be anchored, also mapping to the frontmatterlogo entry in my CSS. This time, no paragraph-style-override is added but In Design still adds it's own image dimensions corresponding to the size at which the image was placed in the layout. This overrides the settings in my CSS and, I suspect, might be what's allowing the Kindle settings to take over as well. I had kind of resigned myself to fixing this in the code on a book by book basis, which is fine if the only images the book contains is a cover and a title page logo. But I'm worried about what happens when I have to create an e-pub from a photo-heavy book. You can see how it would be ideal to create a few specific object styles for different image situations in In Design and have them map them to specific div styles in my CSS. Basically it's a workflow issue. This would minimize the amount of after-the-fact coding our already swamped designers would have to do.
It's so obvious in the code where the problem lies, and so I just have a feeling that there may be a simple fix. If only I knew why In Design felt obliged to specify the image size.

Hi, Yanesh:
Please understand, the FrameMaker feature known as a run-in paragraph, which is a paragraph with a "carriage return" but without a "line feed," HAS NO COUNTERPART in InDesign. InDesign also lacks the FrameMaker side heading feature, which is created by the combination of a reserved area in the text frame and the paragraph property to inhabit that area. FrameMaker separates paragraphs by using the larger of space below paragraph and space above paragraph, but InDesign separates paragraphs by adding the space below paragraph and the space above paragraph.
There are several complicated manual methods of simulating these FrameMaker properties in InDesign.
Here's a recent forum discussion of these exact issues: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759635#3759635. The thread mentions DTP Tools' conversion tool, the MIF Filter commercial plug-in for InDesign, and discusses its shortcomings. I don't recall it mentioning in-tools.com plug-ins that can simulate side headings, like those in FrameMaker, but they don't convert FrameMaker to InDesign.
You can add your vote for InDesign's developers to include these FrameMaker features, and any others you'd like to see, here: wish.

How do I access *load paragraph styles* from the styles pallet menu?

Adobe help informs me that I can bring styles from other documents into an existing document by doing this:
"To copy paragraph styles from one publication to another choose Load Paragraph Styles from the Paragraph Styles panel menu."
I do not see any menu in the paragraph style menu. I am in CS5. What am I missing?

I'm sorry, I found it. I had to go back to my G4 and the CS version to see what to do. I did not recognize the small feature on the window yielding the menu.

How can I force a paragraph style without losing italic?

This has been annoying me for ages. I work on documents in Word, applying italic to book titles etc, and then import into indesign. I apply a paragraph style and three times out of four the bits of italic are preserved. However, the fourth time the paragraph style doesn't take (probably because of the presence of italic) and I have to force it to do so by using Alt-click. Invariably the italic is then replaced by roman.
It's happening just now with a whole lot of footnotes and endnotes in a book I'm working on and means I have to go back through them all, manually applying italic to my book titles and references. Is there any way to force an endnote/footnote paragraph style without losing the italic text?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom.

I'm not sure that forward planning is so necessary here.
If your only concern is losing italics when importing from Word, create,
in InDesign, an italic character style. Then do a search and replace
throughout the InDesign document (after you've placed the Word file)
searching for italics formatting, and replacing with your italics
character style.
That will prevent you from losing your italics formatting.
Repeat for bold, bold italics, superscript, subscript, and anything else
the author uses.
There are some scripts that help in this process (I think one of them is
called "preptext", by Jongware).
If you want a comprehensive solution that can find every type of
formatting override and creates and applies the appropriate character
style, check out my "Create Character Styles from Overrides" script,
available under the scripting tab on freelancebookdesign.com.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text
end change_case_of

How do i keep my paragraph style list from growing without my permission?

Im trying to keep my Paragraph styles organized. Everytime I add a table into my pages document it adds a new header or body eventhough all the fonts in the table are already set up with the paragraph styles that are in the document. Also it wont let me delete the style so I have to rename it and i do so with putting zzz in front of it so it goes to the bottom of the list. unfortnately, i can not figure this out.

Just go back to the main Discussions page and scroll down through the different forums and you'll find it

[JS] How to break link to paragraph style from script?

I don't found the command break link to paragraph style from script.
I want "unapply" the style from the text, but leave the formatting intact.
Can help me?

In the interface it's a separate command ("Break link to style"), but it seems in a script you have to use
Paragraph.applyParagraphStyle (using:ParagraphStyle[, clearingOverrides:bool=true])
You cannot use "null" or something similar for "ParagraphStyle", so I guess the idea is to use paragraph style #0 in your document (which is always "[No Paragraph Style]"). Be sure to set "clearing Overrides" to false, as it defaults to true.
The following single line works on your current paragraph:
app.activeDocument.selection[0].paragraphs[0].applyParagraphStyle (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[0], false);
