Adding new "Paragraph Styles"

Hi,
I am trying to modify different text styles in different cells in Numbers 3.5.2 (Yosemite) and I cannot figure out how add a new Paragraph Style to the existing drop-down styles list. Is there a duplicate existing style or add a new style option in this Numbers version? The "+" next to "Paragraph Styles" in the drop-down list does not work in Numbers but works in Pages or Keynote, is this a bug?
Thanks for the help!

I found the answer and posting it in case others have the same issue.
A text inside the cell has to be selected for the "+" sign to be activated, just selecting an empty cell alone does not activate the "+" sign.

  • Creating a new paragraph style based on text in a document

    I'm working on some scripts for a new ad our company is working on. They are wanting to have the ability to change the font weekly in the ads. However, they want the style sheets to change based on this. What I am having to do is write a script that gets the properties of the different paragraphs in the selected text frame, and make paragraph styles. Is there a way to get the properties of paragraph 1, and use that information to make a new paragraph style? Here is what I have so far;
    set charaStyle to get properties of character charaSelect of paragraph paraOne of myBox
    set makeStyle to make character style with properties {name:"MF Price" & charaSelect, based on:properties of character charaSelect}
    We are using InDesign CS 3. Thank you in advance for the help.

    this way - build ParaStyle definition from selected text - works only in UI
    in scripting you need to write your own procedure - read all params and set them one-by-one in ParaStyle definition

  • How do I create a new paragraph Style in Pages for iPad?

    I opened an RTF document in iOS 6 Pages for iPad. How do I create new paragraph Syles?

    Style is a function of the template applied to the document (and/or the limited number built in to Pages). You can mofify the text or apply one of the built in styles, but I do not beleive within Pages in iOS you can create a new style.

  • Paragraph styles not working in pages 5.0

    I upgraded pages to the newer version 5.0 and the documents that I had on my old version lost all the paragraph styles I had created. I also tried to create new paragraph styles with numeral lists and bullets and this is not working *(not applying format). The old version worked very good doing that. Do any one have had this issue? Can it be a bug? I will appreciate your input. Thanks

  • 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.

  • How do I stop ID from assigning a paragraph style to the TABLES?

    In-Design is adding "H1" paragraph style to EVERY table is inserted, so the table headers formatting is affected by that H1 style.
    I guess it chooses H1 because it's the FIRST style I created (and then modified the "basic paragraph" to modify the rest of default text).
    It's like it's adding "Style_ID=1"
    I tried placing the character in different places, to make sure it's not the style the cursor is in which is inherited, and no, no matter where I place the cursor, when I "insert table" the cursor is automatically placed into the first cell (header cell) and the paragraph "H1" is selected (and applied)
    Adding a table with NO headers does the same, so it's not me that confused style names and applied some to the wrong place.
    H1 is not used and table and cells styles are not based in it.
    I don't know whether it's a bug, but IT FEELS like a bug.
    How do I expect it to work?
    I expect that by creating a table, NO style be applied other than the table's. (Not even the basic one)

    You might have set the default paragraph style for the document (which you set by selecting a paragraph style with no text frame selected) to your H1 paragraph style.
    Make sure it's on "Basic paragraph" when you select the type tool..

  • Why can't I define bullet paragraph in Basic Paragraph style?

    I would like to set up my Basic Paragraph style so that I can quickly apply bullets to individual paragraphs - using MY preferred indents - without having to create a new style for the bullet paragraphs. I tried changing the settings of the Basic Paragraph style, with no documents open, but it doesn't seem to want to accept my choice of indents. First I selected bullets and set an indent, but then the whole paragraph defaults to bullets. When I switch the bullet setting back to "none" the only thing that it keeps is the last setting I chose for tabs. (Which simultaneously changes the default tab setting for all paragraphs.) But when I create a new doct and start a bullet paragraph, the indents always default to .25/-.25, and any tab setting LESS than .25 results in the first line indenting to the tab setting, but the rest of the paragraph indenting to .25. There seems to be no way to change the default indent for bullets without creating a new paragraph style. And usually I'm fine with that. But I thought I would like to have a quick default using the Basic Paragraph style. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
    Here is a visual/verbal screenshot to help explain:

    Let's see if I understand this differently from the others. You want to apply bullets manually from time to time without having to select a new style, you want to do this by pressing the bulleted list button in the Control panel, and you want settings for tabs and indents other than the default. Is that correct?
    As far as I can tell there is no way currently to do this. You cannot set up the parameters for bullets unless the text cursor is active or you are defining a style, so there is no way to set up new defaults. You don't want to set up parameteres everytime you need a bullet, so, either you type the bullets manually, tab and insert an indent to here character, which is actually a lot more work, or you go ahead and set up the style. You can access the style list in the dropdown on the Control panel, or you can add a keyboard shortcut to give you quick access, or hit Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Enter to access Quick apply and start typing the name of the style (almost as fast as a keyboard shortcut).

  • Script to duplicate Basic Paragraph style, then change character point size

    I'm looking to create a script that will create a cascade of paragraph styles based on the [Basic Paragraph] style settings. My goal is for each new paragraph style's character point size to be a percentage of the original [Basic Paragraph]'s. So if [Basic Paragraph] is 100% (character point size 10pt), the script would create a paragraph style named '120%' that has a character point size of 12pt. Then 133%, 140%, so on and on. I modified a script found on this forum to generate those new styles, but I don't know how to create them to be basedOn the [Basic Paragraph]. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.
    current script:
    var doc = app.activeDocument,  
        pstyle = ["100%", "120%", "133%" ];  
    for(var i =0;i<pstyle.length;i++)  
            if(pstyle[i] == "100%") 
                doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:pstyle[i], appliedFont:"Stag", pointSize:10});              
            else if(pstyle[i] == "120%") 
                doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:pstyle[i], appliedFont:"Stag", pointSize:10*1.2})              
            else if(pstyle[i] == "133%") 
                doc.paragraphStyles.add({name:pstyle[i], appliedFont:"Stag", pointSize:10*1.33333})

  • 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.

  • Importing Microsoft word documents that already have paragraph styles

    Hello. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for months, this was taught to me many months ago but for some odd reason when I tried it myself it didn't work . I have my paragraph styles all set up in my indesign document. I have to import text that another person is giving me. The document that this person is giving me is a Microsoft word document. Someone showed me that you can customize the document in microsoft word, with styles for example: Selecting a part of text and customizing it (making it big and bold for example), then naming that style Heading, and then doing the same for lets say...a subheading. Well after you save the document (the microsoft word document), you are able to import the word document into your indesign file and it's supposed to override the styles from Microsoft Word and customize itself with your own paragraph or character styles that you already have in your indesign document, as long as the name of the styles are the same as the ones you had in microsoft word(which in this case would be heading and subheading). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Convert Word styles to InDesign styles
    Here's the info you need. I found it in the InDesign Help section. I needed it, too. The "Show Import Options" is a little box in the lower left hand corner of the screen that comes up when you choose the file you want to place in InDesign. It's easy to miss.
    While importing a Microsoft Word document into InDesign or InCopy, you can map each style used in Word to a corresponding style in InDesign or InCopy. By doing so, you specify which styles format the imported text. A disk icon appears next to each imported Word style until you edit the style in InDesign or InCopy.
    Do one of the following:
    To add the Word document to existing text in InDesign or InCopy, choose File > Place. Select Show Import Options, and then double-click the Word document.
    To open the Word document in a stand-alone InCopy document, start InCopy, choose File > Open, and then double-click the Word file.
    Select Preserve Styles and Formatting From Text and Tables.
    Select Customized Style Import, and then click Style Mapping.
    In the Style Mapping dialog box, select the Word style, and then select an option from the menu under InDesign style. You can choose the following options:
    If there is no style name conflict, choose New Paragraph Style, New Character Style, or choose an existing InDesign style.
    If there is a style name conflict, choose Redefine InDesign Style to format the imported style text with the Word style. Choose an existing InDesign style to format the imported style text with the InDesign style. Choose Auto Rename to rename the Word style.
    Click OK to close the Style Mapping dialog box, and then click OK to import the document.

  • Exporting text only from specific paragraph style

    Hi,
    Is there a way to export text from Indesign to txt or preferably Excel from specific paragraph style ? I am trying to export only item numbers and prices to excel spread sheet so I can compare against original excel spreadsheet.
    Thank you !

    Not built in, no. But you could do this:
    Create a new paragraph style called "Delete Me". In the paragraph styles
    palette, select all the paragraph styles you're NOT interested in.
    Delete them in one go, and replace them with "Delete Me."
    Now, in the find/replace box, search for "Delete Me" and replace with
    nothing. This will cause all the paragraphs that have the "Delete Me"
    style to be deleted.
    Now what remains in your document is only the text that you're
    interested in.

  • Create paragraph style based on selection

    Is there a way to create a paragraph style based on the selection in the same way the "New Paragraph Style" dialog box does without having to go through ALL of the elements of the style individually?
    Thanks

    I was hoping (even expecting) that this would work:
    if (app.documents.length > 0 &&
        app.selection.length === 1 &&
            app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
        var myDoc = app.documents[0];   
        var myPstyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.add({
            properties : app.selection[0].properties,
            name : "myNewStyle"});
    but the result is very disappointing, particularly with respect to the font details. Maybe you just can't use the properties property as part of an add() method call, because this works pretty well:
    if (app.documents.length > 0 &&
        app.selection.length === 1 &&
            app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
        var myDoc = app.documents[0];   
        var myPstyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.add({name : "myNewStyle"});
        myPstyle.properties = app.selection[0].properties;

  • Applescript/Pages and adjusting column width (and paragraph style)

    I was hoping that some someone might know how to adjust the width of individual columns in Pages using Applescript. It seems like it should be a simple task, and I can adjust the overall width/height of the table, but I haven't found a way to adjust the column width. Alternatively, I could have the program create the table in Numbers and copy/paste it into Pages, but I'd imagine that would get a bit messy and wouldn't allow me to use a hanging indent in the cells (to the best of my knowledge).
    Also, is there a way to adjust the paragraph style used by the text in the table? Otherwise, I could just use a templet and define the the default table style appropriately. (Though not the most elegant solution).

  • Applying paragraph style makes it BOLD

    I have lots of nice paragraph styles, and NONE of them specify bold in their definitions. Yet, every time I apply one of these styles, the paragraph is bold. I don't know what's going on. Do you?

    I've looked at your file, and basically it's what SRiegle has said, but I'm going to go into more detail to try to help you understand what's happening.
    If you look at the Character Style panel with no text selected you'll see the Bold style highlighted. This means it is set to the default and all new text you enter will have the Bold style. You want to change this to [None].
    Because the text all has Bold applied, at some point the font weight was changed manually on the paragraphs to Regular. This becomes an override of the character style and if you click in the text you'll see the character style change to Bold+. The paragraph style shows no plus sign because character styles are not considered overrides.
    Now the tricky part. When you change the paragraph style, the local override on the character style is removed, but not the Bold style itself, so the new paragraph style is applied along with the Bold character style.
    Is that making any sense?
