Can I change the default settings for Paragraph Rules?

Hello
I need to apply the same 'Rule Below' to a lot of separate lines of text in InDesign CS5, but the settings I want differ from the default ones in the Paragraph Rules dialogue box. Is there a way to change the default settings so I can just click Rule On rather than inputting the same information a million and one times?
Many thanks

You will need a separate paragraph style for each heading level
Heading Level 1
Heading Level 2
Heading Level 3
For Heading Level 1 - create a Paragraph Style and set it the way you want.
For Heading Level 2 - make sure that in General that "Based on: Heading Level 1", this will give it same properties as H1 - but you can change the size of the text and the size paragraph rule to suit.
For HEading Level 3 - make sure that you set it to Based On: Heading Level 1 (this is vital)
And do the same for all Sub Heading levels.
I'd usually assign shortcuts of
CTRL ALT SHIFT 1 - for H1
CTRL ALT SHIFT 2 - for H2
Etc.
This will ensure consistency across your document.
Say for example you needed to change the colour or tint of all Paragraph Rules
CHANGE H1 ONLY - and this will also be applied to H2 H3 H4 etc.  As long as you haven't given different tints/colours to each individual Paragraph Rule in the Styles.

  • Can I change the default settings for InfoView?

    Hi,
    I have a Crystal Reports Server 2008 running. The users access their reports via the InfoView web application.
    In this application each user can configure some settings, like whether to use the Acrobat Reader or an ActiveX control for printing. Due to the fact that most users are not experts, is it possible to change the default values for all users by administration?
    Regards
    Joern

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

    Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

    Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • Where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?

    where can I change the font settings for the name of the month in iPhoto's calendar project?  I just ordered two copies of a calendar I designed in iPhoto and was surprised to find that the calendar's months were printing in something like an Arial 10 pt font.  On previous calendars I've printer via iPhoto and Apple, the font was much larger.  I've tried every menu option in iPhoto and the Calendar Project program and can't find where this is modifyable. Which leads me to ask, what the heck happened here in the first place?  I did not consciously change the default.
    I do remember that I got some notice when I first tried to print the calendar about the default font having been changed, but I don't know how this could have happened, and I didn't know what impact that had on the calendar until it was delivered.  I typically print about a dozen annual calendars but won't buy another until I've got a handle on this problem.  For the most part, the rest of the calendar is okay.
    As a P.S. is there anywhere where one can get a power user's manual, or instruction on iPhoto?

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I change the default page for a book?

    I have a book that contains six pages. One of the pages contains the login portlet while the others contain account specific information that a user can only see if they are logged in. Currently, I have the default page set to the login page.
    I am attempting to write a backing file for the book that will esentially change the default page for the book to be one of the other pages if the user is already logged in. In effect showing a logged in user their account summary page instead of the login portlet.
    I can't seem to find a way to change what page the user is shown with the book and page context classes. I can hide the login page, but this leaves the user looking at a blank page. Unfortunately I can't use entitlements, otherwise this would be easy.
    Does anyone know how to "forward" to another page from a backing file?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • How can I change the default application for a content type?

    Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

    This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
    xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
    makes okular the default.
    However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
    * Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
    the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
    # Document Viewer (default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    Now it has only 2:
    # Okular (Default)
    # Other
    I'd like it to read
    # Okular (Default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
    Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
    * Open With <whatever> , rather than
    * Save File ?

  • Is it possible to change the default settings for the slideshow?

    The default settings for any new slideshow use the dreaded Ken Burns effect and some awful background music from a standard library. Having to turn these things off for every new slideshow I start is driving me nuts. Perhaps preferring no music accompaniment and a static photo on the screen is for some people rather boring - but I would prefer it, at least as a starting point. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

    Choose "Export" and then the QuickTime option.
    It will make a 4 track video with a simple "fade" effect between photos. You can set the dimensions and the duration of your photos. You can also remove the music or add your own from your iTunes Library (no purchased music if you intend to share these movies).

  • How can I edit the default settings for the Email button?

    I saw this question posted for February and as yet still unanswered. So I am now asking it again.
    I do not want to use my .mac account email address in my website. I want it linked to my domain. I have found no specific instructions for changing the default. Also my drag down "Link to" menu in the Inspector does not work.
    Thanks........

    While you can't edit the default email address in iWeb, there is a workaround which may suit.
    In Safari, locate a web page which has iWeb's email button on it (if you've already published a site, one of your own web pages is ideal). Control-click on the button and select 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Drag this image from the Media Browser to your iWeb page, select the image, and use the Link inspector to enable it as a hyperlink linking to 'An Email Message'. Enter whatever email address you like in the To box and a Subject for the message if you wish.
    To make things easier, create an iWeb library in iPhoto and add the email button to it for handy access.

  • How can i change the default settings in km folder 'favorites'?

    Dear experts,
    i have a question about the default settings in the KM folder 'favorites' (to the portal favorites iview):
    Over 'Details' in the default settings it's possible to activate the option 'manual ordering'. Then, all users can sort and order their portal favorites. But in the default settings of this folder the on top known option is not standardically activatet!!
    How can i activate this option as default eg. automatically at once for all Users??
    Under Content Administration > KM-Content > root > userhome > userXY > folder 'favorites': context menue > details: settings > manual ordering it's for each user adjustable. But if you have for example 5.000 users in the pcd of the portal it's a lot of and stupid work.
    Thank you very much for all your answers or idears of developement.
    TBM

    Hello Mr. Urs,
    thanks for your comment. But I have offered this solution already to my department. They are not contented with it because they fears it would be too complicated for the single user.
    The layout set of the iview 'portal favorites' is changeable. The real main (entrance) portal application (PAR-file) 'com.sap.km.cm' with his component 'navigation' (portalapp.xml) only very hard!!
    Is it to be put on possibly a higher folder with inheritance on the folders specific for user 'Favorites'?
    Or do you know whether is there release with support package stack that contain this already ("upgrade")?
    Thanks a lot again.
    Many greetings

  • Palete Image trace: How to change the default settings for icon?

    Hi!
    New palette and action Image tracer is a good step forward and work better, thank you.
    This palette has a built-in icons, which significantly accelerate the selection. How do I change the default action?
    I know that you can save presets, but this is different. The icons are even faster and more practical.
    eg I want to icon B & W automatically have enabled the option "Ignore White".
    Best Regards!

    No, there's no way to do that, and that's because Lightroom works best as a single catalogue. You have metadata fields like Job which can track individual assignments.
    What you could do is create an empty catalogue with settings as you want, then copy the file each time you want to set up a new catalogue.
