Unable to reset some settings values in Character Style Options back to "inherited"

Hi!
First, unfortunately Paragraph Styles and Character Styles are not so cool as in InDesign in Photoshop. I hope it will be updated in future versions because good typography is very actual now.
Here is one of issues:
I can't set Font Family and Color in Character Style Options back to inherited ones, i.e. to reset/empty it. Onse I set some custom font/color for Character Style (manually or after "Redefine..") I can't remove it, only set new one. And since Character Style is another level of abstraction over Paragraph Style this behavior is very annoying - I always need to check what font is set up for characters, change it or even delete this character style and create a new one with same settings but default (empty) font family.
Fortunately some other settings (font size, leading and all other inputs/selects with editable value) can be reset (emptied) - that's why I consider situation with font family/color as buggy/raw.
What do you think about this? May be I don't know some secret tricks/technics to fix it?
Thank you

I purchased the same laptop from Wal-mart in late August, I have had nothing but problems. Going from one program to another within the computer takes forever, the pages constantly say "not responding", getting on the internet takes all day, anti virus software has been installed, scans have been run which might I add took three days to do because the computer kept freezing and I had to manually restart. Un-installing programs is next to impossible as every time I start and sit and wait 10 minutes later I am still waiting, try to get out of the program and it won't let me. I try ctrl alt del which doesn't help. I took mine back to Wal-mart a week over the amount of time they allow for returns which is ridiculously short and they would not take it back. I have spent numerous hours trying everything under the sun to get this 2 month old computer to work and to meet up to my expectations of a brand new laptop computer and I am almost ready to chunk it out the backdoor. I am very disappointed in this product and will never buy another Toshiba. My family owns a Dell laptop and 2 HP laptops and we love them. This laptop was purchased for my children to do schoolwork as they are homeschooled and unfortunately they have not been able to do ANY! Take my advice, DO NOT BUY this product!

Case bug in the Character Style Options?

Hi, is there a bug with the CASE in the Character Style Options?
When i set the "Case" to Small Caps and apply the Character Style to a text, it does not work.
Please advise. Thanks!

You cannot change uppercase to lowercase. The reverse is done with All Capitals, and what you are using is not "lowercase" but "small capitals". Only lowercase characters get transformed to Small Capitals, uppercase don't change.
Dave Saunders wrote a script to find and change case per paragraph style -- it should be googable.

Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

CS6 - Cannot Edit Some Character Styles

Hi, using Creative Cloud, have latest updates. Noticed some character styles will not allow editing, and some will. These are styles originally created by using the "Create new style" icon at the bottom of the panel.
For the ones that won't, neither double-clicking just to the left of the style name (double-clicking on the name itself allows renaming), nor selecting "Character Style Options..." in the panel preferences drop-down works.
Anyone else had this problem? Thanks!
Ingrid

Further to the above.... which is now solved .....
In case any other unfortunate non techie should experience it.......
When you upgrade, some of your prefernces follow you.... this being one of them.
The thing to do is to remove the exisiting and replace everything in the right hand column.
The fact that the browse button above indicates where you really want to edit, the names below are the edit locations it goes to.

Adobe Muse SlideShow Options and Capabilities

Hey there people. I know that in the Adobe Muse slideshow you have the options to use fade, and vertical transitions, etc. I'm trying to make a few pictures in my slideshow go vertical and a few pictures go horizontal, and maybe a few pictures fade during its transition. (All in the same Slideshow) Is this possible?

Right now there is only the three options. I am sure it would be easy enough for the dev team to add a random setting. I suggest you add it to the Muse ideas forum.

InDesign CS6: How do I set Character Color to Unspecified/Undefined in the Paragraph Style Options?

Is there a way to create a Paragraph Style that leaves the Character Color unspecified? I have a bunch of existing text frames containing characters of various colors. When I apply the Paragraph Style, the text is changed to black. I want the text color to remain unchanged; that is, I want the Paragraph Style's Character Color attribute undefined. How do I do this?
All of the text frames in this case have their Character Style set to [None]. The text colors were applied individually, not via the use of Character Styles.

If you apply the color to the characters via Character styles then the colors will be unchanged when the Paragraph style is applied. Like this:

New features in Adobe Muse 2.0

The following is a list of features now available in Adobe Muse:
Align Palette
We've added a new Align Palette, available from the Window menu, or by clicking on the new 'Align' control in the control strip.
You can use the new Align features to align or distribute selected objects relative to each other, or to the page content area (which is the area from the bottom of the header to the top of the footer).
Asset Upload
You can now link to any external file (i.e. PDF, .zip file, .dmg or .exe) and add a hyperlink to it to enable users to download the file from your web site.
All linked assets will be uploaded / exported along with the rest of the Adobe Muse site, in a new 'assets' folder.
Code Generation Improvements
We've improved the HTML code generation for Adobe Muse 2.0 in several areas. Shadows, Glows, and Gradients now use CSS instead of generating additional images.
We've eliminated many cases where we generated duplicated HTML nodes. We've also changed our JavaScript framework for our widgets from Spry to a smaller, faster framework called WebPro.
These changes make the export process faster, and Adobe Muse now generates less images and smaller HTML files.
Shadows and outer glows are represented using CSS box-shadows instead of rasterizing.
Fixed the naming of images exported by Adobe Muse which have been either resampled or cropped before exporting.
Background images that have been set to "Scale to Fit" or "Scale to Fill" are now exported with the 'contain' or 'cover' background-size CSS property, respectively.
Browsers display a warning when you serve a page that mixes HTTP and HTTPS content, which can be triggered if loading content from a content delivery network (CDN) such as Amazon's CloudFront. To avoid these warnings, Adobe Muse uses some JavaScript to not use CDN URLs with HTTPS in favor of falling back to a local version of the content.
Forms
We've added a new Form widget to the widget library.
You can easily configure the form to send the form submissions to multiple email addresses, and optionally redirect users to another page after submitting the form.
You can add and remove fields, and style the form as you would other Adobe Muse elements. You can independently style the various states of the form, and form fields to provide a compelling user experience, with visual cues for error states, empty states, and more.
Because Form processing requires server-side support, Adobe Muse forms are configured to work when published to Adobe Business Catalyst. If you make changes to your form and publish again, Adobe Muse will make the appropriate changes to your Adobe Business Catalyst forms.
Adobe Muse will safeguard data when redesigning your Adobe Business Catalyst forms
If a field with no data submitted is removed, it will be deleted from the database.
If a field that has submitted data is removed, it will be preserved in the database, but can be deleted from the Adobe Business Catalyst admin console if desired.
Font Improvements
The font UI includes font previews in the form of sample text rendered in the corresponding font/weight/style.
Submenus for the various font types (web, web-safe and system) have been eliminated in favor of a single sectioned list, with shortcuts to scroll to each section.
Web fonts and system fonts are grouped by font family; individual weights and styles (e.g. Bold, Italic, Bold Italic etc.) of multi-face font families appear in sub-menus.
The font UI displays an automatically generated list of recently used fonts. The number of recently used fonts to display can be configured and list can be cleared.
The font list can be filtered by font family (e.g. “Myriad Pro”), weight or style (e.g. “Bold Italic”), a combination of these (e.g., “Myriad Pro Bold Italic”), including partial names in any order (e.g., “It Bold Myr Pro”).
Adobe Muse now uses platform-independent references to fonts, so Adobe Muse documents can be exchanged between Mac and Windows without failure to resolve font references.
Adobe Muse displays localized font names (if available) based on the application locale, rather than system locale. Adobe Muse documents can be exchanged between across application locales without failure to resolve font references.
FTP Upload
Adobe Muse now includes the ability to FTP to the host of your choice by selecting File > Upload to FTP Host in the Adobe Muse menu.
Adobe Muse's FTP upload dialog allows you to specify the host, subdirectory, and login information.
Adobe Edge Integration
If you publish an .oam file from Adobe Edge, you can place it into Adobe Muse. All required images, CSS and JavaScript content will be uploaded at Publish or Export time.
As with other placed content any changes made in the source Adobe Edge file and re-saved in .oam format will be detected within Adobe Muse, and you can use the Assets Palette to update the content in Adobe Muse.
Language Support
Japanese and Italian localizations have been added.
Specific Japanese features include the addition of Japanese web safe fonts on the font menu as well as support for Japanese IME, including text input and double-byte text.
Ruler Guides
Adobe Muse now includes the ability to drag guides onto a page from the Horizontal or Vertical ruler.
Page items snap to guides when moving, but guides are not exported.
Adobe Muse supports selecting multiple guides on a page.
Sitemap.xml
Adobe Muse now creates a sitemap.xml file for better search engine optimization when the site is hosted somewhere other than Adobe Business Catalyst. You can exclude a page from the sitemap.xml file (if you don't want search engines to find it) by setting an option in the Page Properties dialog.
Browser Fill Improvements
You can now set a gradient on the Browser Fill. (Note: Opacity, Focal point and Size are not available due to cross-browser compatibility and usability standards)
In addition, you can now set your browser background image to fit or to fill.
Control Strip Improvements
The Adobe Muse control strip now has collapsible control sets (similar to Illustrator). As you expand the width of the Adobe Muse application window more controls appear.
Additional controls have been added to the Control strip – States, Transform, and Align. Text controls are now available when text frames are selected, not just when you're using the text tool.
Drag and drop styles/swatches/colors
You can now drag and drop a Paragraph style or Character style onto a text frame to apply the style to the text.
You can also drag a Graphic style into a page item, or the page to apply it.
You can drag a Swatch onto a page item, page, or browser area of a page to apply background fill.
You can drag a Color (via dragging the color preview area just above the RGB edit boxes) onto a page item, page, or browser area of a page to apply background fill. You can also drag a color to the Swatches palette to create a swatch of it.
Hyperlinks
The Hyperlink control can now be resized so that users can see entire URL. We've changed the label of the hyperlink option “Title” to “Tooltip” to help clarify where user enters the hyperlink destination information.
New Selection Visuals
Hint labels now show when you hover over elements on the page. There is a new preference to turn this display off.
Groups and widgets are now indicated with dotted line containment rectangles.
When a page item cannot be resized in a specific direction we now show an “X” instead of a missing handle.
Widget Improvements
Slideshow and Composition widgets now include a numeric stepper for controlling the Auto Play speed in seconds rather than Off, Slow, Medium, Fast.
We've added Shuffle as an option to the Slideshow and Composition widgets so the slideshow or composition contents play in random order.
Changing a Menu widget from horizontal to vertical, or vice versa, now does a much better job of preserving size and spacing.
Changing the state of one part of a widget at design time now changes appropriate sibling parts to the same state to more closely mimic browser behavior.
Based upon customer feedback, we renamed the following:
"Fit Width" and "Fit Height" to "Uniform Spacing"
"Uniform Width" and "Uniform Height" to "Uniform Size"
Other assorted improvements
Shift + Return/Enter will create a soft return instead of a carriage return.
Control/Ctrl + Tab activates next tab.
Control/Ctrl + Shift + Tab activates previous tab.
Option/Alt + click a page tab will close all open page tabs.
Option/Alt + click a site tab will close all open sites.
Holding the Shift key down while resizing an image allows you to perform a non-proportional resize.
The X, Y, W, H, and Angle edit boxes support duplicating and transforming the selection if you hold down the Option/Alt key when you hit Return/Enter or Tab.
If you enter a value in an edit box you can do a Shift + Enter to apply the value AND keep focus in the edit box.
Select Same feature added which selects other objects on the page that are the same type as the object currently selected and can be used through Alt Control Shift A and the Context and Edit menus.
Added feedback to rotation tracker so you see the angle next to the cursor as you rotate.
Changed rotation display values to be between -180 and 180 to match other Adobe apps. Previously it was 0 to 360.
Publish dialog has a new FAQ link to help users understand the implications of publishing.
Upload to FTP and Export to HTML workflows now have a ‘Domain Name’ input field. This is used for generation of Sitemap.xml and for enabling Typekit web fonts.
The display of 100% width items on iOS devices is now enabled.
Adobe Muse now produces functional submenus on iOS devices.

Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client to edit and update text and to a lesser extent images on the website?
I don't care if the client text/image editing and updating doesn't update in my Adobe Muse, as long as my client can update the text online.
Please help me answer this question, I have used adobe for decades (2) and am a print designer. I want to use Muse for websites but if my clients can't update text and images, I don't see how I can make it work.
If I have to use Business Catalist too; I don't care. I just want to be able to use this great software.
Sorry if I soud desperate but I'm holding on starting a website for a new client and need to get this answered first.

At the moment you can't using Muse's widgets, though you can insert html! So, you could have photo galleries linked to flickr that the client can update to, for example. I'm sure there are other options for slicker slideshows that can be updated client side!
For text, I'm too much of a novice, unless you were wanting a blog style: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/7257782-creating-a-blog-in-adobe-muse-powered-by-nab ble
Basically, I think you need to find the right html to embed for your purposes

Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
HOWEVER
When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:
.NormalCharacterStyle
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 16px;
color : #19131F;
color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
2. h1:
.h1
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 35px;
letter-spacing : 0.53px;
color : #FFFFFF;
color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
Missing: 25 Ultra Light
3. h2:
.h2
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 18px;
text-transform : uppercase;
color : #FCFCFC;
color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
Missing: 45 Light
Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
Thanks!

CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

URGENT: Paragraph/Character style help (doing massive amounts manually)

I'm using CS3 at work but if it's magically easier, i may have access to cs4 (less likely but possible). It's a long post but I wanted to be in depth with my problem which at its core is simple. I have included a 2-page spread example in pdf.
What I greatly need help with is your opinion of how I can set this up to speed up the process, unify the document, and make future edits simple instead of crazy difficult. Can I configure a paragraph style to NOT replace font style? Can that style include my preset tabs (for bullets) which list as follows?:
number, small letter, roman numeral, bullet
Let me start by saying I SCOUR the net and all available options before posting. I'm cleaning up/editing a production manual for a portrait company I work for and am new to indesign but have figured many things out. I'm quite proficient with the Adobe Suite and computers. I'm using last year's indesign file and it was done very poorly. The words are right, the lines are right, the tabs are terrible and i've needed to move many pages out of order and add plenty. I also chose to disable 1 text box that flows from page to page (i see now it's helpful but they had made it impossible for me to use the existing one and I didn't have time to redo). The pictures I can add and manipulate freely but an embedded text-wrapped version would be nice as well (less important by far).
The manual is spiral bound with text on the right page and a notes page on the left for the layout. (flipped open the left side is lines for notes and the right side is operations). It's set up with a Header at the top (in some cases a sub header almost identical right below it), a space or two, then an outline format IE:
1)     Open job
          a) Go into G:\Location
          b) Select job code
               i) *Note: Be sure to select the right one (etc)..
2)      Continue
                                   |                                                    |
                                   |                                                    |
                                   |                    Picture                      |
                                   |                                                    |
                                   |______________________________|
Page size is 8.5x11 with a .5 safe print border all around (document is 11x17). The Document is about 100 pages of written directions (so double that for indesign pages). It will be printed on a Xerox IGen3. The whole book give or take is set up like that. Thus, a few paragraph and character styles are in order. I've been editing/cleaning up each page re-tabbing, re-laying out. It's hell and must be done in 2 days.
I'm using Myriad Pro universally as the font. The sizes are as follows:
Header: 16 bold center
Sub (if applicable): 15 bold center
Body: 12 point
I've gotten paragraph styles to work sort of. I tried setting up numbering and bulleting but it's been giving me so much grief that I typed those all by hand or have just adjusted existing ones (I don't have much time currently, BUT need to learn for future updates and to convert it to styles). I know styles are the way to go with a couple master pages involving bulleting and character styles... however I could not become an expert overnight unfortunately; i tried =)
The real killer for paragraph styles have been:
- The portions of the directions that pertain to specific menu options or clicks are in bold, occasional important info is red. Normal text including numbers/bullets are normal. There are many words repeated that need bold so perhaps some kind of search/replace script could help however im not positive.
- When I go to apply a paragraph style it must make all type bold or not bold. It doesn't replace the color of the text which is good.
- Having major trouble with bullets/numbers working the way i'd like.

It is unfortunate you only have two days, but you could play around with these suggestions below and see if they help more than they hender... (NOTE: SAVE A COPY OF THE DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU START MONKEYING AROUND IN CASE YOU HATE THE RESULTS!)
For starters, you could certainly do the lists via stylesheet. It would require 3 lists based on your sample. Base list 2 and 3 on list 1 or all 3 on a default List paragraph style, so that you can globally control your list formatting without having to change all 3 each time you want to apply a tweak.
List 1 would be leve 1, 1,2,3 style with indents like 3p, -1.5, 3p. Align right and don't restart numbers. If you want bold numbers, make a bold character style called List# and apply it.
List 2 would be level 2, a,b,c style with indents like 4p, -1p, 4p. Restart on level change.
List 3 would be level 3, i,ii,iii style with indents like 6.5p, -1.5p, 6.5p. Restart on level change.
Tweak as necessary to match your actual text.
Then just do a global GREP search and replace, replacing out the manual list numbers with real styles.
List 1 replace ^\t[0-9]+\t with ~- (discretionary hyphen is a nice invisible character that won't break anything) and paragraph style of list1.
List 2 replace ^\t\t[a-z].\t with ~- and paragraph style list2.
List 3 replace ^\t\t\t[ivx].\t with ~- and paragraph style list3.
The last step of list replacement would be to manually restart numbering for each new list.
As for the keywords, unless you have a complete list of what will be bold and it will always be bold, just manually style them with character styles.
Make a character style called "Keyword" and apply bold to the formatting.
Make a character style called "Keyword Important" and apply bold and red formatting.
If you know certain words are always, always the same and you have CS4, you could create a GREP style that applied Keyword character style to any words that matched.
For example, if the keywords Left, Right, Top, Bottom always were bolded at the beginning of the paragraph, you could add the GREP style that applied Keyword to ^(Top|Bottom|Left|Right).
In all likelihood you will be applying a lot of manual keywords too though, so make sure you put a keyboard shortcut on (like cmd-opt-1, 2, etc) on the Keyword and Keyword Important character styles. That way you can just fire through selecting text and whacking cmd-opt-1 where appropriate.
