Applying a style doesn't change font

I have copied and pasted some text from another program. When I try to apply the Body Style to it all the original fonts are retained (size, font name, color). How do I change everything to match the style I want? Is there a way to remove all formatting? (Plain text?)

Hi Pamela
When you paste the text you can choose to *Paste and Match Style* on the Edit menu.
Or you can make sure all formatting is removed from imported text by pasting into TextEdit (set to plain text) first, then copying and pasting from there.
Another way is to apply another style to the text and then reapply the body style, but I would check that in fact your Body style actually has different styling. To set the style (including for Body text) you need to select a piece of text that has what you want and go *Redefine Style from Selection* in the *Styles Drawer.*
Pages lacks any other methods to remove all styling. There is a None for Character and List styles but all that does is keep the paragraph style settings.

  • New style created when changing font size

    Whenever I highlight some text and change the font size in
    the property inspector, a new style gets created and the text in
    the code gets surrounded by <span
    class="style1"></span>
    I do not want this behavior. I just want the text to be
    surround by <font> tags. Otherwise I have to make sure this
    unwanted style gets put into the style sheet.
    help?

    It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
    I will assume
    that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
    that, you
    would create a rule like this -
    #content p.special { font-size:16px; }
    and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
    question by selecting
    it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
    menu, and using
    "Set class to -> special".
    Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
    the 'Style'
    selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
    If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
    would have to
    select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
    Ctrl-t). Apply the
    'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
    this -
    #content span.special { font-size:16px; }

  • End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

    Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
    I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
    I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

    Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me  'options' to choose from.

  • Changing fonts in paragraph and character styles (AppleScript, Grep or JavaScript)

    I have been trying the javascripts in this discussion:
    Adobe Community: Specified font need to be changed in all paragraph styles
    but I cannot get any of them to work. I have been putting them into CodeRunner then saving them into the InDesign Scripts folder but I have specific error messages for the ones I have tried. I am wondering if they actually solve my problem anyway, which is:
    Helvetica Neue LT seems to add another LT to its description thus: "Helvetica Neue LT LT 45" instead of just "Helvetica Neue LT 45".  InDesign does not recognise this and thus when I open each file I get a list of Fonts to be found. I have dozens of styles (Paragraph and Character) in dozens of files and have changed some of the styles manually - a laborious task. The styles must be changed otherwise I am still stuck with Helvetica Neue LT lurking away, waiting for the style to be applied. So I cannot use "Find font..." in the Type Menu.
    I am changing to "Helvetica Neue LT Std" with many faces: 35 Thin, 45 Light, 46 Light Italic, 65 Medium, 75 Bold...
    from the similar faces in Helvetica Neue LT. These currently display in the Styles Menu as [Helvetica Neue LT] [LT 45 Light]
    Sometimes when I change to Helvetica Neue LT Std manually the face sticks (even though I have changed it) so I have "Helvetical Neue Ltd Std [LT 45 Light]" and I have to go through the styles again and again. This is very tedious.
    So if anyone can help me with this problem I'd be eternally grateful.

    Hi James. Just a few threads down the list there is this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1198632?tstart=0
    Even the name of the thread is similar to yours.
    But first, you should do a bit of housecleaning in your font library. From your description it sound like a big mess.
    Do you use any font management tools? Most of the times they do more harm than good (but i am aware that it's a necessary evil for the most part).
    The fonts you are trying to use are in the font library or in the indesign document's folder?
    While Mac is a lot better than Windows in managing multiple fonts/font versions, it's also a lot more "fragile" if something goes wrong with a font.
    Try cleaning the font cache first:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    the restart the font server
    sudo atsutil server -shutdown
    sudo atsutil server -ping
    have a look here also:

  • 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.

  • Change font in title-style

    Hello! I have finished a project with many titles in it with a specific title-style. now I want to change the font in this style so that it will affect all titles in this project - how do I do it?
    By the way - will we ever have a "find and replace" function in premier?

    oded,
    Easiest way would be to create and Save a Style with your new font and any text Effects. Then, open each Title (sorry, no global replace here). Just click the text box, and then click your Style. Instant replacement, except as Harm says, "one by one."

  • Font Doesn't Change in MESSAGES

    When I go to MESSAGES preferences and change the font for the SENDER, it changes immediately. When I try and change the font for ME, it not only doesn't change immediately, it NEVER does..even if I quit and re-open Messages. How can I fix this? Thx.

        Hello RuthEM. Sometimes you just want to fit more words on the screen, and sometimes you just want to plain be able to read messages with a decent font size! The trick to being able to customize the font size is by pinching the screen either inward ot outward. This will increase and decrease the font size.

  • Illustrator Crashing - When changing Font Styles

    Hi Selina,
    Two possible (maybe the most probable) causes could be:

    (It can also help if you are on Mac to boot in safe mode)
    Have you installed extra fonts or maybe a Font management Progam.
    If you removed the installed fonts or disable the font management progam you get the same results?
    Hopefully this will help you solve the problem.

  • I can't change fonts or stroke styles/sizes

    Help!
    I haven't used my InDesign in a long time. I have CS5 and I am on a PC using Windows 7.
    However, today, I tried to do a few very simple things and I can't!
    My stroke menu is greyed out. All I can get is a 1pt black stroke.
    Then I tried to type some text, and it's stuck on Minion Pro. The program will not let me change fonts, unless I go in through the menu. I can't use the drop-down box to change font or text size.
    Edit: Now I've discovered I can't use either selection tool.
    What is happening? Please help!

  • How do you change fonts in an HTML report?

    Hello all,
    I need to create a report from a test that I've written, and my only feasible option is HTML. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about HTML, so I'm using the LabView VI's to build the report.
    In the attached VI, I've written a program that simply plops a couple lines of text down and saves it in the HTML format. The color, font style, font type all seem to work fine, and when I change them I see the changes reflected in the HTML document. The size, however, doesn't change.
    What I need to do is have the ability to have different lines of text be different sizes, or even 1 word in a sentence be a different size.
    How do I do this?
    What am I doing wrong?
    Any help would be greatly app
    reciated!

    Dear Dave,
    The setting of the size is working but your parameters are inadequate for a HTML document.
    The reporting VIs are generating HTML which is decrepated. It generates a FONT tag with a size attribute with "30pt" and "10pt" as you have set in the Set Report Font parameters. The HTML standard allows only values of "1" to "7". The standard works with relative sizes so a "pt" does not apply to it. "1" is the smallest size and the actual displayed size depends on the setting of the browser. In MS IE you can set it under View>>Size to one of five degrees.
    If you would use "5" and "7" instead of "10pt" and "30pt" you will see the text in different size.
    Your values are coerced to 7. That's why you see something you didn't expected.
    Unfortunatly
    I have no experience with the reporting VIs. I'm not sure if they can use the style sheet formatting which will allow font sizes measured in points.
