Automatically create Object, Character & Paragraphs style when you copy & paste the same item.

InDesign could create styles automatically. If I am copying and paste an object or paragraph - that means I will be using it in multiple pages and consequently be making changes to it. I know I can always create a syle for all my elements, but having that feature build-in would be great. Especially for the designers like me who works on small documents. Great Forum!
Thanks!

InDesign make it really easy for you to create styles. I just believe that having it as an automatic feature (of course, an optional feature) would save time when working in small - mini publications, where there is really no need to create syles . Just my thought.

  • Do not duplicate the graphic style when you copy and paste a feature

    I rely heavily on the use of graphic styles.  However, when I copy and paste a feature that has a graphic style assigned to it, a duplicate of the graphic style is created.  I sometimes end up with a large number of these duplicate graphic styles that I have to trash.  This does not happen with the selection tool+alt shortcut for copying.  However, I can't use this shortcut when I want to paste in front or paste in back, which is the case at least half the time.

    Only advice I can offer is Option Left cursor, then right cursor, to make an exact copy in same position.
    This will give you a clone as the action does form the previosu poster, but unfortunately no oslution for when you want to target layers.
    If anyone else has any input on this here is how to reproduc:
    New document, create a graphic style (eg: fill yellow, stroke none) and save
    Close the document
    Open the document
    copy and paste the element with the graphic style, and with every paste multiplies faster than a tribble on Star Trek
    I played with changing the clipboard options, no luck. Exists on CS4 Mac, CS5 Mac & PC, might go back as far as graphic styles do.

  • [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.

  • Does the sound of your caller get reduced when you speak at the same time?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm noticing some strange behaviour of my iPhone 3G's audio on the O2 network here in the UK. Both O2 & the iPhone are new to me so I don't know which is the cause, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this 'problem'? What happens is this:
    When I'm on a call with my ear to the iPhone's earpiece (or using headphones) & I speak whilst the caller is speaking (or let's say I'm chatting to my wife in the same room as me whilst I'm listening to 'hold music'), I've noticed that *the volume & call-quality of the incoming line is often reduced*.
    Initally this might not seem a problem, BUT, there have definitely been a view times when I've been in a noisy environment (such as street traffic, or my kids shouting & playing in the background) where I've missed things that the caller told me. In both these situations, I've noticed that the caller's voice has got quieter, sounded 'grainy' or even sometimes gone totally quiet until the sound from me (or my environment) has stopped. The 'problem' seems to right itself a minute or so of the call, but that's little consolation to the first 60 seconds of the call!
    It's most noticeable on headphones by the way; As a test, I plugged in regular headphones to my iPhone (i.e. not the iPhone IEMs with the mic), called a landline phone-line with a pre-recorded message, then spoke into the iPhone's built-in microphone. Every time I did this, the incoming audio signal was 'turned down' &/or sounded gritty, then returns to normal when I (or my background noise) went quiet.
    I don't think this is a fault with my phone. but more either an iPhone 3G hardware 'characteristic', v2 software bug, or network issue. (O2 said they've never heard of this before of course...)
    If anyone else has the time to try this out please, I'd appreciate it
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi Quickdraw,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I don't know this for sure, but I think it has EVERYTHING to do with bandwidth.
    Yes, that makes a lot of sense... I was making calls on 2G/Edge at the time of my 'tests' rather than 3G, partly due to battery-saving but also that 2G still has much better coverage over here (just as you guys in the States seem to be experiencing).
    I've done some more tryouts today, & noticed that if the 2G signal is really strong, OR if I switch to 3G & have a reasonable-to-good reception, the 'incoming-signal-dropping-out-when-I-talk' doesn't happen much at all...
    So, the bandwidth thing does make sense, but it's interesting/annoying that it manifests itself as "one good-quality voice OR the other", rather than "full-duplex-but-not-so-great-for-both-voices" sound...
    If anyone in the UK can feed back their experience with O2, I'd appreciate it please. (I never had this issue in the 10 years I was with Orange..)
    Cheers,
    Jason

  • ISSUE: InDesign document automatically creating "imported" paragraph styles when you open the Layout.

    Hi
    I have an InDesign layout that contains multiple boxes, which all have style sheets applied to them.
    There are a lot of unused styles on this layout too so these have been organised into folders.
    When I close it and re-open the document, it creates all of the styles on the document again at the root level (not in the folder). However, it does not create them correctly, it simply makes them 14pt Times New Roman....
    These styles look like they have been imported from Word (they have the little Floppy Disk icon next to their names). If you delete these and then save and re-open, they will be back there again.
    However, if I remove them from their folders and place them at the root level, upon saving and re-opening, they won't be re-created (assumably because it can't due to a name conflict).
    Any idea what would be causing it to want to create those styles every time?
    The styles it has created:
    Cheers
    Rich

  • Create numbered list paragraph style

    Hi;
    I have Pages version 5.2 installed on my MacPro 10.9.4.
    I am trying to create a numbered list paragraph style w/o success; since the numbered list attribute isn't being remembered as part of the paragraph style.
    Next time i mark something as belong to the paragraph style i created, it shows w/o a number (numbered list isn't set).
    What am i doing wrong?

    Using Pages 5.2.

  • HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    Why don't you  (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
    But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
    Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
    A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
    The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
    You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
    And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
    Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

    Then run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

  • Symbol will automatically update in your (bb logo), when you broadcast this message.?

    hey guys i have a quick question. (hopefully)
    i recived a bbm message full of symbols (smileys and little logos) and at the bottom it said
    Symbol will automatically update in your (bb logo), when you broadcast this message.
    so my question is, if i broacast this message (which i have no clue how to do so if someone could tell me that would be very appreciated) will i get all these symbols in my symbol list?

    hmmm sounds a bit fishy to me, I don't see how broadcasting this message to all of your contacts is going to magically unlock these symbols.

    How to changed old apple ID in AppStore? I've already creat new one's but when I go to the AppStore the old apple ID always appear. Hope you can answer my question. Thanks godbless

    No, your accounts will remain separate, any content that you download via either account will be tied to that account - so each account will only be able to authorise its own downloads on your computer's iTunes, redownload them, download updates to its apps, and make in-app purchases in its apps.
    Is there are particular reason why you've created a new account ? If it's due to, for example, no longer having access to your old email account then you can update the email address on an account by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (click the Edit button to the right of your id at the top of your account's screen), or via http://appleid.apple.com . If you want to re-use the email address on the account that you've just created then you will need to change that first

    as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

  • I am dual booting my mackbook pro with windows 7 64 bit. Yesterday it started locking up at the disk drive selections screen, when you hold down the "option" butting when powering on. I have been searching all morning, and so far nothing. Thanks. :)

    Hey folks,
    I have been using bootcamp for months now with windows 7 64 bit, and its been fine, yesterday while I was rebooting to do some gaming, at the hard drive selection screen when you boot holding the "options" butting down, it locks up when I select the windows drive and just sits there for ever. It doesn't throw an error, it boots fine into Lion.
    I searched all morning and didn't find anything, was hoping that someone might have an idea.
    Thanks in advance

    Search again. Microsoft has tips on what to do and Windows has a number of features
    system restore points
    automatic system repair using the Win7 DVD
    system restore image creation

  • In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt.  Is there a way to m

    In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt.  Is there a way to make the leading 100% scaled?

    "Auto leading" is governed by the "Auto leading" percentage in the Justification dialog. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30d2a5051004d659b1c-7fe7a.ht ml for a full discussion (the official Help page...).
    It *appears* you want the leading set to 100% of your font size. That is *technically* not a problem, but there are not many fonts that look nice with this. Hence the "120%" default -- neither very good, nor extremely bad. I usually go with about 2 pt above the text point size; but it depends on the font and the font size.
