Paragraph Styles going crazy

Hi guys,
Maybe this has an easy solution but all of the sudden my paragraph styles went nuts. I do apply Headline Style like the upper text which says "El Pase" and it transforms into the text below in pink warning letters.
It says i do not have the font Mercury Text G1 Semibold SC BOLD which is not true. Besides the headlines is not in that font.
Here is the Paragraph Style which is not based in ANY prior style. In the second image you can see the font is not Caps at all.
I checked and re-checked for some errors but i cannot find the source of the problem. By the way, i don't know if that maybe related in some way or not but i did apply in another text frame -not this one- the script to Preserve Formatting.
By the way, i did open a new document, Loaded the Paragraph Styles and they do work fine. Maybe the original document is corrupt. I can star over in a new doc but it way time consuming.
I have InDesign CS4, on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Thanks for any help or idea.

Check if the pink text has a character style applied that sets a non-compatible font style for that font. For example, if you have a "bold" character style that only applies "Bold" and you used it to make a Univers 55 Roman text bold, it won't work -- there is no "Univers Bold" (it's called "Univers 65 Bold", and the font style is named "65 Bold").
It's possible you placed the text or copied it from somewhere into the frame while you had a random character style selected in the Character Styles panel. That would get applied by default, as all defaults do in InDesign.

  • When using Live View, site looks great, browser testing goes crazy

    I am creating a new website (and I am really unexperienced with Dreamwaver CS5).  But when I check my site using "Live View" everything looks great, the way it is supposed to.  Then when I go to test it in my browswer (Primary browser is Chrome) it goes crazy:  I at first noticed that I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml  I did delete the first line of code already that the .asp file created as it kept giving me an error on line 1.
    Then I tried to do a spry drop-down menu bar, which I have deleted since I thought I was doing something wrong with that and I should just stick to what I half-way know.
    If I were to preview the template page it gives me this error:
    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 150 at column 76: error parsing attribute name
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
    Here is line 150:
        if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
    If I were to test the index.xhtml page in the browser, it ignores most images (all but one), and the first nav-bar (an editable region) appears to the left instead of under the header.  The layout is totally ignored and everything is on the left-hand side of the screen instead of in a two column layout.
    I am not testing this on a server just off of my computer.
    I am assuming that the error has something to do with the .asp file I first did and when I resaved it, since I don't know what I would be looking for, is still in there screwing it up.
    Here is the code from the template page:

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the left instead of the right, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all left instead of all right) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

        <h1>Instructions</h1>
        <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
        <h2>Clearing Method</h2>
        <p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule.  This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a &lt;br class=&quot;clearfloat&quot; /&gt; or &lt;div  class=&quot;clearfloat&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
        <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
        <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place  a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
        <p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #C00; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Logo Replacement</span></p>
        <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
        <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
        <h4>Backgrounds</h4>
        <p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

  • (new to scripting) Only allow certain paragraph styles to break to next column/page

    Hi all,
    As stated, I'm very new to scripting. I've done a few small scripts to automate Photoshop tasks and such. I'm in the process of trying to learn Javascript as much as possible, with the hope of bringing about more efficiency for our small production department. It's a daunting task, but I'm trying my darnedest.
    One of the number one goals I have is the find a way to automate pagination of weekly transaction records. These records run between 32 to 48 pages normally, with each page having 5 columns. Creation of these pages is very systematic, so it would seem that this process should be able to be automated, but there are some challenges I'm having a hard time thinking about how to attack.
    One of the key tasks needing to be figured out is getting the records to go in with headings and subheadings always starting at the top of a page/column. Just about all the copy comes in with predetermined paragraph styles, so a script should easily be able to search for instances of each style. What needs to eb accomplished is only allowing the flow of copy to break on certain styles and not others ... (counties, towns, etc.)
    For example: if you have the following  ...
    Countyland <styled "county">
    Utopiatown <styled "town">
    46 Appletree Lane ...... $500,000  <styled "listing">
    Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
    Bought by: Other Guy  <styled "listing">
    Mortgage: This Bank  <styled "listing">
    Date: 12/14/11  <styled "listing">
    Dystopia Village <styled "town">
    47 Orangeplant Road ...... $400,000  <styled "listing">
    Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
    Bought by: Other Guy  <styled "listing">
    Mortgage: This Bank  <styled "listing">
    Date: 12/14/11  <styled "listing">
    If the two records above were to fall near the end of a column, the break to the next column should NOT occur anywhere except:
    - Before the county (causing the county to start at the top of the next column
    - Before the second town (Dystopia Village, forcing that town to the top of the next column)
    - After both (forcing whatever town/county is next to goto the top of the next column)
    So basically, I need to find a way PREVENT column breaks where they should not occur. Inserting column breaks is one thing (I know how to do that). Prevention is the issue though that confounds me.
    Does anyone have any thoughts of how to achieve such a thing? I know there are "non-breaking space" characters ... is there, or could there be, some kind of a "non-breaking return" character? Or would it be more feasible to test for the paragraph style at the bottoms of columns and insert column breaks in once it finds an appropriate match?
    Am I going about this all wrong?
    Again, any help or suggestions are more than welcome.
    Thanks much.

    FYI .. using InDesign cs5.5

    I am now wondering about a possible solution. It would be one hell of a challenge for me to figure out how to code it, but I at least need to figure out the theory first, then I'll try to figure out how to code it.
    Again, the issue at hand is preventing column breaks for the "listing" style in the following example. Please note, the number of "listing" lines varies. If the following two entries (in a long list of similar entries) were to be near the end of a column, I'm trying to cause the flow of text to break only before a county style, or a town style (if it's not the first town in the county).  Basically, no breaks in the middle of listings.
    Countyland <styled "county">
    Utopiatown <styled "town">
    46 Appletree Lane ...... $500,000  <styled "listing">

    Naomi previously suggested messing with the "keep options" in the styles. This will solve the issue of preventing breaks before listing details start. But it won't help in keeping listing details from breaking, since the number of lines can vary.
    I'm now thinking ... might it be possible to have a script search all copy, looking for the last line of listings, and then apply a second listing style with a different keep option setting? The "normal listing" style would "keep next 1 line". The "last listing" style would not, therefore, allowing a break.
    Here's a map of what I'm thinking: (bear with me on the terrible syntax, this is just for illustrative purposes)
    listingNormal has keep with next 1 line applied
    listingBreak does not keep with next line
    if currentLineStyle == listingNormal
    AND
    style of next line != listingNormal {
    currentLineStyle = listingBreak
    Does this make sense? If so, does this sound feasible?
    Thanks any and all.

  • I copy text, paragraph styles, character styles & images from 1 document to another only text copies

    I have a few documents that have text and images that is frequently repeated through many chapters of an In Design book. (Printing, exporting etc.) I used to select all in the source document, Command + C to copy it, change to the target document, Command + V to paste it. It worked well for six months.
    About two weeks ago it stopped working (shortly after an update to In Design). I have text, paragraph styles, chacter styles and images in each document. Only the plain text copies over. This is the same for any document.
    I haven't changed Preferences in six months.
    I'm on a Mac 10.8.2, In Design CS6 version 8.0.1.
    It's driving me crazy! It's a lot of work to reformat each 2  to 10 pages after copying it in.

  • How to apply multiple paragraph styles to one sentence?

    I'm using paragraph styles but is not helpful because I'm trying to apply 2 different styles within the same sentence which is not working.
    To make it work I select the sentence, apply the style, for instance "xfont-regular" then I select the word within the sentence that I want it to have a different style and I choose from the font list maybe italic so that it looks "something like this"
    Obviously by doing this, I'm loosing all the benefits of using p styles and of course it's so time consuming. Is there any way to break the sentence, keeping it in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and still keep the benefits of just going to the styles and make the changes to the whole document that have that style applied.
    Thank you

    To make it work I select the sentence, apply the style, for instance "xfont-regular" then I select the word within the sentence that I want it to have a different style and I choose from the font list maybe italic so that it looks "something like this"
    Obviously by doing this, I'm loosing all the benefits of using p styles and of course it's so time consuming. Is there any way to break the sentence, keeping it in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and still keep the benefits of just going to the styles and make the changes to the whole document that have that style applied.
    Thank you
    As Diane King mentioned, nested character styles may work for your need. Her example was an initial dropped capital (multi-line first one or several letters of a paragraph.) Dropped caps are a specific type of nested style - always the first one or more characters in a paragraph, two or more lines high.
    To use the general kind of nested style, you need to be able to identify the word or words within the paragraph that gets the nested character style. For example, the third word, or the first two words after the first semi-colon. If there is no pattern of word(s) that can be identified by position or sequence, it's possible that a GREP style can be used to find a common pattern of characters and apply a character style to it, for example a telephone number, date, or currency amount that's identified by a dollar sign, pound, or yuan.
    Search InDesign Help and Google for "InDesign nested style," "InDesign grep style," and similar terms (without quotes) for details. There have been many discussions of GREP on this forum.

  • Paragraph styles misfiring

    I import text into an existing style formatted layout from a Word file (I have also copied it via the Finder clipboard) only to discover that the formatting of the text has changed to a different font weight/type size despite the formatting of the Paragraph Style. This same style is applied to existing paragraphs without a hitch. There is no '+' after it or anything. I have ditched InDesign preferences (both lots), tried recreating the original Word doc. using only a basic style sheet in TextEdit all to no avail. Maybe it's the font corruption?
    Has anyone ever come across this before? In building the original document, I used original text files from the same client, though not from the same client PC. I feel it must be to do with the new Word document unless there is an answer within InDesign itself which I'm overlooking. I'm going to have to copy all my formatting and manually reformat the new text. Not a major problem for a 6-page leaflet, but for a large multi-page document this would be a nightmare.
    InDesign CS4
    OS X 10.5.8

    If the style name in InDesign is exactly the same as the style name in Word, it should take all of the text attributes of the InDesign style.
    Is there any local override of the style in the Word doc?
    When you tick the Show Import Options box in InDesign's Place window, what settings do you use under Paragraph Style Conflicts at the bottom of the window?

  • Paragraph Style Problem

    I have the weirdest problem that I cannot yet understand. I have a 76-page book that has at TOC plus 10 chapters. The book was created last year in ID CS3, and everything worked fine. I have updated it into CS4, and everything appeared to be working normally until I discovered this problem. My master chapter for synchronizing is Chapter 2 in the book panel. All fonts are loaded and present.
    In the last chapter (Ch. 10), the paragraph styles don't work. They not only don't work, they change the text to something totally weird. For example, if I set a block of type in Times New Roman and pick, say, the #1 Head style, which is Hypatia Sans Pro Bold, it converts it to a completely different font or it chooses a font I'm not even using. If I set the type in another chapter and cut and paste it to Chapter 10, it pastes fine. If I try to restyle it, it goes weird on me.
    I have looked extensively at the styles, and they are all correct and the same as all the other chapters. However, when I try to apply them, a different change results. I have checked the Basic Paragraph Style; however, none of my styles are based on that because I checked that also.
    Keep in mind that the paragraph styles worked properly last year and are working properly in every other chapter. Synchronizing does not help.
    This may be a bug of some sort or it may be something I've overlooked. But I haven't made any huge structural changes to the chapter other than to add a couple of pages. I've tried restarting the program and the computer. The only thing I have not tried is to completely remake the chapter, which, of course, I don't really want to do.
    I'm just throwing this out there. I'm not sure there is an easy answer. Let me know what you think.

    Try moving the pages to a new file. That's not going to be as effective, probably, as copying all the elements into a new file, but it's faster.
    Also, make a new book with just the problem chapter and the source chapter and synch again, see if it works.

  • PAGES: How change a Paragraph Style ?

    Hello all,
    there is something that is driving me crazy...
    using Pages for iPad is it possible to change the default settings of a Paragraph Style ?
    I am not talking about importing a document with a custom set of styles but simply:
    - I open my document in Pages for iPad
    - I select a line of text and apply the "Header 1" style to it
    - I am not happy - for example - with the font size of the Header 1 style and I want to make all my Header 1 paragraphs change their font size
    - In the desktop version you would simply change/update the style you need, but on the iPad I cant find a way to change those values
    (BTW, I seem to remember that I once managed to do this...)
    Thanks,

    You seem to be able to copy and paste styles, but nowhere that I can find does it let you update the defined styles.
    There is the manual which does not refer to any suitable method, and also some eBooks on the subject but I have scanned those and can find no reference to redefining styles either.
    The more I play with Pages for iPad the more of a toy it seems. Sort of amazing that it does what it does on a mobile tablet, but when you get right down to it, not very useful.

  • [Basic Paragraph] style behaviour upon copy/paste

    Hi,
    we just get started changing from Quark to InDesign, and our lead layout-producer is not so crazy about style sheets, so everything she creates is using the [Basic Paragraph] Style.
    A by her created libary now contains groups of text objects in Basic Paragraph with format changes +
    When I use these groups, or copy and paste from another document, why does InDesign keep the changes like fontsize or -color, but does change the font?
    My basic paragraph does use another font, so its quite annoying INDD keep the changes, but keep change the font.
    What can I do to prevent INDD from changing the font?

    So, i made this beauuutiful thingy for a test. It looks disgusting, i know. The point is that it uses 4 fonts and different modifications.
    If I get you right, to prepare a "good" document, our layout-producer should clogg our documents with different paragraph-styles not to use the Basic? Sure, she can convert it into paths, but different collegues have to translate this stuff later so that isnt an option.
    Maybe she can "design" things like that in Illu, giving us an AI to use.
    I made an irritating discovery:
    As I built this thing with Futura as my Basicparagraph-font, i dragged it into a libary, closed every doc to change my default-paragraph-style to another font to see what happens. I set up a empty doc and dragged it back in again – no changes at all. I was surprised. Its in the basic, it has a +, and if i click on basic it changes to GillSans, if i alt+click the modifications (like the colors) turn to black… – this is what i was looking for :-)
    But why with my other test-object. Im nearly in closing time here, so i will upload an image tomorrow, but the only variable that haved changed to my second try minutes ago:
    – the objects were converted using Q2ID (Markzware)
    – the group just contained one (but another) font
    Maybe theres the problem somewhere.

  • CS3 Find Font/Delete Paragraph Style/Redefine Paragraph Style Causes Crash

    I am running into a very frustrating issue where I cannot replace a paragraph style. The issue is that we used to use some adobe type fonts and want to move to the true type equivalent so that we don't have problems working on files between mac and pc. The problem occurs on both mac and pc on a variety of hardware (both c86 and ppc macs for example). When we open the document it identifies that the font cannot be found (example Palatino T1). When we click find font and select the regular ttf Palatino replacement and click Change All Indesign just vanishes and leaves a crash message with a ton of garbage and a read only memory error. The same happens if we change the font on some text and right click on aragraph style and click "redefine style" - there is a sudden crash.
    Trying to work around this I went into our templates and tried to change it there. Opening the paragraph style and selecting the new font caused it to crash upon selecting OK. Also trying to Make a new paragraph style works, but then when deleting the old one causes a crash no matter what combination of mapping or not mapping the old paragraph style we chose (we tried every option under the dialogue and selected several different styles to map to or none at all).
    This occurs on several different fonts and on several different templates. I have tried deleting the adobe font cache to no avail. Any help resolving this would be great - all our employees are going nuts over this problem.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

    Peter, your latest post led me to an interesting revelation. When I change Palatino (t1) bold to Palatino Bold using Find/Change it is fine. When I change Palatino (t1) to any font using Find/Change there is a curious result! As soon as I click find first the page changes to the default template and all content is hidden. The 4 or 5 places where palatino occurs on the default template change fine, but then on the next click of FIND FIRST it crashes! So the problem is connected to "find first", not the actual change. My guess is this is an issue of with how the find/change jumps from the template to the individual page, but I'm not sure exactly what is happening.

  • 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

  • Multiple typefaces in the same paragraph style

    I use APA formatting pretty often, and headings at the third level begin indented with bold for the title, followed by a period, and then the text for that paragraph, not bold.
    Example:
         Going to the movies. Going to the movies can be a fun...
    Is there a way to create a paragraph style that begins bold, but once the first period is entered the rest of the text goes to regular (not bold) text? I think I've seen this in Microsoft Word.
    Thanks.

    For that, you have to write an if condition.
    Something like that should do it
    if (time*thisComp.FrameDuration < 108){
    Revols = thisComp.layer("NbTour").transform.opacity
    ease(time, (12/24), (108/24), -9, Revols*-360);
    }else{
    // here your code to do after the frame 108

  • Creating Space after a Paragraph Style

    Okay, all, this may sound weird. All I want to do in CS4 is have an extra 4 pt of space after a particular paragraph style. Specifically, my paragraph style, Body Text, already has "space after" specified at 3 pt. Fine. But, for example, when I have three paragraphs of just this style, I want the three paragraphs separated by an additional 4 pt of space. (There is no consistency in documents when this situation occurs.)
    At first, I thought it might be possible to do this via a nested character style. Nope. Back in FrameMaker, I used to do this manually, whenever I wanted extra space. My trainers would add paragraph tags (ugh).
    Still a newbie...
    Thanks!

    Kenneth C. Benson wrote:
    Maybe I'm really missing your meaning here. When I override a style setting to get more space below, I add space below the *paragraph*. I don't adjust anything about the last line. This is no different in Framemaker. In Framemaker, you can add space above or below a paragraph, either as part of a style (what FM calls a "format") or as a style override. You don't "adjust the last line of a paragraph" in either program.
    There's one important difference between FrameMaker's paragraph
    spacing and most other DTP or WP tools: Space between FM paragraphs is
    NOT ADDITIVE. Space below a paragraph is not added to space above the
    following paragraph. In FM, the larger space wins. (I think Ventura
    has this feature also, or perhaps has the option for additive or
    larger-one-wins.)
    If the issue is to make inter-paragraph spacing work non-additively
    like FM, please file a feature request for this as an option, at:
    www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    EDIT: The forum was unavailable for a while, and my email response was bounced. By the time I discovered the rejected mail, I saw Lizbeth's mention of having used Based-on paragraph styles. Probably the based-on style caused the mysterious behavior. The based-on property style information is only visible in the define/modify style dialog box. I'm going to enter a feature request for an indicator for the based-on property that will appears wherever a style's name appears, and, if possible, displays the name of the based on paragraph, character, and object style. Master pages do show the based-on master letter on the page icons in the pages panel, but they lose their own letter. I'll also ask for this feature.

  • Paragraph style - Drop shadow on text

    Hi,
    I cannot find out how to apply a drop shadow to text in a paragraph style.
    It looks like drop shadow can only be applied to Object style.
    And object must be selected with selection tool. My text box goes up to 30 pages!
    I don't want all the text with shadow.
    Any help or cue will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Drop shadows can only be applied to all text within a Frame. You will need to separate the paragarphs you want a drop shadow from and Anchor those within the text.
