Apply character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's in Mail ?

Is it possible to:
apply character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's in Mail ?
ALSO:
I would like to change things like-
change the color of the default yellow notebook like ruled paper?
apple character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's?
Main calender for item related Dates
The red icon next to the to-do items
number of columns
Hold/Insert/Link/Attach additional relevant files?
Similair to other third party project organizational software such as OmniPlan / Schoolhouse/ KIT (Keep it Together)
I was also thinking the ability to apply my mail rules to them would further their efficiency. Does anyone know if this is possible?

In the preferences menu, under "composing" There is an option for "Create Notes & To Do's in:" With the options being "On My Mac" and "[email protected]".
I did not have this set properly, and changing it meant that selecting text in a note and making a to do gave me the option of putting it in my local calendars.
However, when I select text from an e-mail it still puts it in my "[email protected]" calendar.
Partial fix --> Still not exactly what I want to see.

  • Paragraph styles in notes mode

    This might sound like a small problem, but it's driving me crazy. Somehow, somewhere, the InCopy files I am working on have a "default" setting in notes mode so that notes always appear as ALL CAPS and boldface. This is true for notes added by the comp that are already in the file when I receive it and for notes that I have added myself.
    Considering all contact I have with the comp is via notes in the file, I don't want to continue to use this paragraph style (since in emails, this would be equivalent to "shouting"). I have been applying a "basic" paragraph style using the paragraph style palette to all of my new notes or any responses I add to existing notes, but it's somewhat time consuming to do that! Is there a way to change this globally in the file? I've looked in every palette, menu, Edit>Preferences, etc., and I can't seem to find anything helpful in the application or in the InCopy online knowledgebase files.

    The notes that comp added to the file are in boldface/all caps. If I want to edit the note (adding a reply, for example), I type in my reply. Then I select the text of the note.
    Then I open up the "Paragraph Styles" palette.
    Then I click on the paragraph style [basic paragraph].
    The selected text in the note is then formatted in roman font, not all caps.

  • Clicking a Paragraph Style Does Not Apply Style to Text

    I just switched from a PC to a brand new MacBook Pro (OSX Lion 10.7), and I bought InDesign CS5.5. I have been using CS4 on a PC for a couple of years and had no issues. For some reason, I cannot apply Paragraph Styles by placing my cursor in the text and clicking the Paragraph style. It highlights the clicked style for a moment, and then de-highlights all the styles, but does not apply any changes. The only way I can apply a Paragraph Style right now is by right clicking the style and selecting "Apply..." from the drop down menu. It's very puzzling. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. I also have Microsoft Office: Mac 2011 installed on the laptop if that makes a difference to anyone. Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I typeset and edit for my living, and this problem is slowing me down a bit.

    Neither. Let's say I click into a paragraph. The current style will be highlighted. If I click on another style (or even attempt to re-apply the same style by clicking on it in the styles pane), it momentarily highlights the new style, then flashes a little bar underneath (like the one that shows up if I were to try to re-organize the styles list by dragging a style to a different pace in the styles list), then all the styles become unselected, but no changes have been applied to the paragraph in question. Very definitely not normal. It is almost as if the pane assumes that I am attempting to drag the style even when I am merely clicking on it. Very weird.

  • InDesign CS4 - Paragraph Style - Justification not applying

    Hello,
    I am in college and Indesign is the software we use for our projects.  The version we have is CS4.  This is the second project where I've had an issue with the justification.  I can use the justification icons at the top to move the text where I want it after applying the paragraph style, but this causes the little override + to show up and that's not allowed.  My instructor says we should use the style itself.  I'm happy to do that and have found the justification area in the paragraph style setup, however, no matter what justification I specify (with the text highlighted and preview enabled), the text does not move.  I've also set it, applied it then gotten back to the document just in case it was a preview-only error but it still doesn't change.
    Do I need to justify everything THEN apply the paragraph style to get around this?  If the justify option in the paragraph style settings doesn't actually move the text, what is it's intended purpose?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Do you mean this justification tab?
    If so, I think it's purpose is to set the behavior of how single-word paragraphs are displayed when full justification is applied. In the previous screen shot, the third line of the paragraph is a single word (Obitatur), and all of the text is set to Full Justify (if you hover your cursor over the justification icons at the top of the screen, it's the one that reads: Justify all lines). Here, you can see that all of the letters are justified across the text frame, because Single Word Justification is set to Full Justify. Here are a few other examples:

  • Imported paragraph styles are not the same as in original document

    I am using InDesign CC 9.2 x64
    I have document with a whole series of master pages and paragraph styles. I wanted to move these into a blank document, along with a few pages from the original document.
    In the new document I loaded master pages and paragraph styles and all seemed to go fine. I moved a few pages into the document and the paragraph styles don't seem to come up the same. There seems to be larger line spacing than in the original document, but I can't find what the problem is,
    This is really annoying, as the whole point of paragraph styles is that they assure consistency!
    Any ideas??
    thanks!

    Another potential problem is that when you move things into a new document that has attributes like styles or master pages with the same names, but different definitions. The definitions in the receiving document will be used. This can show up on styles based on [Basic Paragraph] where the definition of [Basic Paragraph] does not match, too.

  • TOC Paragraph Style will not update!

    Ok, this one is getting wearing. I have put a TOC into my thesis and successfully reformatted TOC 1 to be Tiered Numbered (Tier 1).
    However, when i try to reformat TOC 2 to Tiered Number (Tier 2) it does it but it will not stay permanent (And i dont always get the option to Redefine Style from Selection, it seems like it does when it wants to). If i do the reformat of the paragraph style to Tiered Number (Tier 2), then save, then close & reopen, TOC 2 is back to Tier 1 not Tier 2 again. Same if i make the change then deselect the use of TOC 2 and reselect, it returns to Tier 1. Very irritating. Anyone any ideas?
    Its not very easy to explain so feel free to ask questions, i will do my best to answer them.
    Cheers
    Rowan

    I never faced this behavior but I know that the TOC style Headings are predefined.
    Maybe it would be safer to create new ones, not redefine the original ones.

  • Questions about Notes and To Do's in Mail 3.0

    Overall I like the new features in Mail 3.0, but I'm having a difficult time sorting through how a couple of things work.
    I believe I have sorted out how to sync the notes across my macs (using .mac), though it seems like my sync settings on the two machines (iMac and MacBook) keep changing themselves.
    What I'm frustrated with is that, when I select text and make it a "to do" the only calendar option it gives me is "Calendar", which is a new addition under the "[email protected]" it seems to have made all by itself. It will not allow me to add the to do to any of my multiple local calendars (listed in Mail under the "on my mac" heading), which I sync across the two machines. iCal will also not allow me to move any of my local calendars to the "[email protected]" heading.
    I want to be able to put the todo's under my existing calendars, not develop a whole array of new ones.
    Anyone else seen or heard of this?
    Thanks

    In the preferences menu, under "composing" There is an option for "Create Notes & To Do's in:" With the options being "On My Mac" and "[email protected]".

  • Reflection applied to character/paragraph style?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a character or paragraph style for using the web 2.0 reflection on text? example below...
    Thanks!

    Apologies not necessary. That previewColor property has been a mystery for quite some time, and when I finally found out what it is supposed to do, it seemed to be so bug-ridden that I quickly steered away from it and I gave up attempting to make any sense of it. But your script just avoids those bugs popping up!
    As I said in the IDS post: it's rather sad the Adobe team gave up on further developing this great hidden feature into a full one; and it's downright worrying that they left that legacy code in CS5 and later, so it could get infested with all those nasty little bugs. It leads me to think: how many more 'dead' code is there, in CS5, 5.5 and now in CS6? Could that be the reason later versions are so much slower and more buggy than my trusty CS4?
    (Point in fact.
    In CS4 and earlier on the Mac, all plugin resources are gathered into neat, small packages inside a single large indexed file. That makes sense, because every single plugin resource is just a couple of bytes long -- say, a single icon, or a single string "Menu Item Name". With CS5, the programmers suddenly took a Lazy Turn and wrote out every single resource as a single small file. That means that
    1. (Annoying!) Since hard disk space is allocated by the kilobyte (typically 4Kb chunks), 10 tiny resources totalling 1 Kb now will suddenly occupy 40 Kb of disk space. Sure, hard disk space is cheap. Apparently, it's even cheaper than doing some programming -- or even just using the load code from the last version!
    2. (Frustrating!) Locating, opening, loading, and then closing a single file takes time and resources, but after a file got loaded into memory, you can do with it whatever you want. Locating, opening, loading and then closing each of the dozens of small files per plugin takes lots of time. Is that the reason CS5.5 starts up so incredibly slow? Jongware sez: yeah for sure it won't help.
    /Point in fact).

  • Problem with footer in table style not applying paragraph style... or just me?

    I'm having a niggling problem making a table style with cell/paragraph styles for the header, body, and footer respectively. I want to make it as simple as possible for other users but one thing keeps tripping me up. I'll try and describe with screenshots. I'm using InDesign CS5 on Windows 7.
    I have a table style set up with cell styles for the header, body, and footer, and paragraph styles for each as well. Say I'm converting a list of generic text to this table:
    i convert it to my table style. The body style is a numbered list:
    I convert the header to an, err, Header. The cell applies the header paragraph style as I should expect:
    I convert the footer likewise, but it maintains the Body text paragraph style as an override!
    So naturally I clear the override and it works fine. But of course, I'd rather it acted like the header row. I can't work out where the override on the footer comes from and why it operates differently in this respect to the header row. There is nothing different about how the styles are constructed. Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this correct behaviour I'm misinterpreting, or something...?

  • Applying paragraph style to a single paragraph affects all previous paragraphs

    Hey,
    I'm trying to create a script that would take an array of text objects that describe what the text and style of a particular line of text is. And in some lines to apply Character Styles as well.
    The problem is that, while the script works when the loop is in the character styles "mode", it seems to apply the paragraph styles to all the previous lines of text when the aforementioned object asks it to apply only the paragraph style (no character styles).
    The offending line is this:
    if ( typeof line.text == 'string' ) {
        frame.contents += "\r" + line.text;
        frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
        frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
        continue;
    I even copied the style-apllying lines from the Character-Styles-applying section of the script (the else part), but it still applies the style to all the previous lines of text. The script below is the full code I have I long with one of the objects that text data. If I comment out the "offending lines" mentioned above, the script applyes all the styles correctly. Otherwise, only the last line (the Product - Description style) is applied, while all the previous lines attain the 'Spacer' style.
    Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? (sorry for the giant piece of code, but I can't pin-point what's not relevant here).
        'text': [
                'style': 'Product - Title No Indent',
                'text': [
                    'Test Product',
                        'style': 'Superscript',
                        'text': '®'
                    ' Title'
            { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
            { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
            { 'style': 'Spacer', 'text': ' x' },
                'style': 'Product - Description',
                'text': ['Designed for monitoring steam sterilization processes.']
    function add_text_to_frame (frame, product) {
        var i, l, j, k, line, style, line_styles, char_style, line_text, bit;
        for ( i = 0, l = product.text.length; i < l; i++ ) {
            line = product.text[i];
            style = doc.paragraphStyles.item( line.style );
            if ( typeof line.text == 'string' ) {
                frame.contents += "\r" + line.text;
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
                continue;
            else {
                line_styles = new Array();
                line_text = '';
                for ( j = 0, k = line.text.length; j < k; j++ ) {
                    bit = line.text[j];
                    if ( typeof bit == 'string' ) {
                        line_text += bit;
                    else {
                        line_styles.push({
                            'start': line_text.length,
                            'end': line_text.length + bit.text.length,
                            'style': bit.style
                        line_text += bit.text;
                frame.contents += "\r" + line_text;
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
                frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(style);
                for ( j = 0, k = line_styles.length; j < k; j++ ) {
                    char_style = doc.characterStyles.item(line_styles[j].style);
                    frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].characters.itemByRange(
                        line_styles[j].start,
                        line_styles[j].end
                    ).applyCharacterStyle(char_style, true);

    Here's the shortest code with the problem I could come up with.... You can run it if you create two different default paragraph styles: 'Product - Description' and 'Product - Title No Indent';
    The problem is that the first line should have 'Product - Description' style, but it instead it gets 'Product - Title No Indent'.
    If I comment out one of the paragraphs, everything works fine. What's wrong?
    var doc = app.documents.add(),
        product, text_frame, i, l;
    product = {
        'text': [
                'style': 'Product - Description',
                'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
                'style': 'Product - Title No Indent',
                'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
                'style': 'Product - Description',
                'text': 'Designed for monitoring sterilization processes.'
    text_frame = doc.pages[0].textFrames.add();
    text_frame.geometricBounds = [ '0pt', '0pt', '240pt', '300pt'];
    for ( i = 0, l = product.text.length; i < l; i++ ) {
        text_frame.contents += "\r" + product.text[i].text;
        text_frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedCharacterStyle = doc.characterStyles[0];
        text_frame.parentStory.paragraphs[-1].applyParagraphStyle(
            doc.paragraphStyles.item( product.text[i].style )

  • FIND/CHANGE - Applying Paragraph Style

    Hello,
    I used FIND/CHANGE to apply my paragraph style and when I apply the paragraph style... it applies the style to the entire line.
    For example,
    A. #70712       resulted to         A. #70712
    I only wanted the "#70712" to be changed to my style. I used the GREP search and entered #.+ and then I choose the paragraph style I want and clicked change all. The problem is that it changed all the text on that line and applied the paragraph style.
    Please help. Thank you very much.

    If I understand your request correctly:
    If your paragraph style uses a numbered list to create the "A." and the remainder of the paragraph consists of only "# 70712" that you type in manually (or place from an existing file), I believe that you you don't need GREP. You can format the auto-numbered list differently from the remainder of its paragraph, by specifying a character style for the number portion.
    To extract only the non-numbered portion of an auto-numbered paragraph, for a TOC, in the Table of Contents dialog box, open the bottom part by clicking More Options if necessary, and in the Numbered Paragraphs pull-down menu, select Exclude Numbers.
    Read more about Table of Contents in Help, and/or with a Google search for terms like "InDesign table of contents numbered list exclude numbers" without quotes.
    If you need additional special formatting "tricks" in the source paragraphs, or in the TOC entry paragraphs, look into Nested Styles and GREP
    Styles in Help or Google searches.

  • Most efficient way to apply Paragraph Style A to Paragraph style B?

    I'm looking for the most efficient way to all
    all aspects of an existing named paragraph style "A" to another named paragraph style "B". I'd especially like to find a keyboard-only way to do this.
    To my surprise,
    Copy Special >
    Paste doesn't seem to copy tab settings...(?) This leads me to suppose that other aspects of the source p'style may not be crossing the Great Paste Divide.
    Over the years I've used a variety of more or less clumsy multi-step, multi-tool "tricks" (including third-party plug-ins) to apply one named paragraph style to another, but knowing FrameMaker as I do I suspect there may be a truly efficient way to do what I want.
    Is there?
    Cheers & thanks,
    Riley

    Arnis:
    8.0p277.
    The Font family and style got Pasted -- that was immediately apparent. And based on all I know about F'Maker, I would've thought the tabs would go over.
    But when I opened the target p'style the Tabs area was completely blank.
    I'm not sure if anything else wasn't making it 'cross the Paste Divide: Once the Tabs weren't Pasted, I fell back to a different, brute-force strategy simply to get around the problem and return to work...
    Moreover, since the structured templates I inherited for this project are full of idiosyncrasies, I'll just file this one away under "The Templates Did It" and hope for better luck the next time I try the Copy Special thing...

  • E-pub character/paragraph style exports

    Just getting into this e-pub thing. I've watched a few tutorials, but I'm still working with CS5 for the time being. I know that in order for formatting to transfer to the e-pub file on export, one has to make sure that all content is formatted using character or paragraph styles, which I have done. However, I am using a large coloured cap at the beginning of each page which sometimes requires extra-tight kerning (-75). I have assigned a character style for letters such as "O" and "T" which reflects this kerning. However, when I export it and view it in Calibre, the kerning is completely ignored and I have this nasty white space between the "O" and the "nce" on the word "Once". Any comments?

    There are three issues here: first, what text attributes does InDesign export and what not (apparently, "kerning" is a "no") and what can be used in an e-pub. Kerning? I don't know -- in CSS you have "letterspacing" and "wordspacing" attributes, so theoretically you could use these instead. But CSS support among the various software and devices varies enourmously, so it could be you are doing all this for just one or two devices with "just the right support".

  • How to know if a applied paragraph style has changed

    in Applescript, is there a propertie to know if a applied paragraph style in not "the original"
