Character Styles / Be sure what to delete

hi guys,
How can i tell what paragraph or character styles are absolutely sure that if i delete them and not mess around my text? Is there any way to tell where a character or paragraph style is applied in my text like when performing a Find/Search query? Most of them i can easily delete them and don't ask to replace them with other styles.
but for example if i try to delete Estilo14, the last one in the list it will ask me to replace it for some Character Style, so i suppose it is active somewhere in the text. Nevertheles, if i open Estilo14 Info, it is blank.
any help or ideas?
Thanks and Cheers,
S

thanks for the info afsdfasg. It is a good idea. Nevertheless, i would like to know if there is a way i could actually "see" where the styles are applied in the text.
You can create a condition with a color indicator for each character style, and use Find/Change to find all instances of each character style and apply its condition.
This will take a little bit of work; perhaps it can be scripted, or perhaps the findchangebylist.jsx script in the script samples included with InDesign can be modified to do the work.
[EDIT] The commercial plug-in Slendro Style Reporter (slendro.com) can do this.[/EDIT]

  • 'Highlight' Character Style -- Why Does the Font Change?

    I want to define a style that mimics a highlight marker.
    Choose some text, set the background/fill to yellow.
    Highlight filled words, then choose 'Define Style From Selection..."
    Then, in the More... selection I deselect every attribute of the character style except for the fill colour. So this should highlight text, but leave every other attribute of the text unchanged -- I think.
    But whenever I apply it, the font changes to something I don't recognise -- even though the font is not a part of the character style description.
    What am I doing wrong?
    TIA

    You need to make sure the font is embedded in the PDF. This is optional in some sofware.
    If it is not embedded, your local font is used. No such local font exists on the iPad.

  • How to specify character style to anchored objects markers depending on the objects formats?

    I have a long document contains much of anchored text frames with custom positions and want to delete them by aplying character styles to their markers.

    Create a new character style to apply it. And change the character style name in this code to yours, then execute it.
    main ();
    function main (){
        app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "~a";
        var objectsArray = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
        for (var c = 0; c < objectsArray.length; c++) {
            if (objectsArray[c].textFrames.length > 0) //The anchored object is a text frame
                var targetTextFrame = objectsArray[c].textFrames.item(0);
                var textFramePosition = targetTextFrame.anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition;
                if (textFramePosition == AnchorPosition.ANCHORED) // the object have custom position
                    //Create a new charater style and change the character style name to yours. 
                    objectsArray[c].appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.itemByName("Delete");
    Then make a GREP search for this character style, and if you want delete them all by Change All button.

  • Problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air.  I am trying to move my library from my airbag onto my passport drive.  I did it and deleted it from the airbag but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next.

    Sorry - we can not see you
    what do you have? Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How is the passport connected to your Mac? What format is the passport (for the iphoto library it must be Mac OS extended (journaled)  )?  The iPhoto library is not and can not be on the cloud (maybe later with the Photos Application)

    Your email provider may have changed certain settings to do with deleting from server when deleting from client so that it no longer works. Are you using pop or imap? If pop then recreate the account using imap.

    Photoshop Elements 3 dialog box with picture and patent numbers - not sure how to get it fixed.  It's in an infinite loop - have rebooted to no avail.  Should I update to a higher version after deleting this version?

    Tried the resetting options, but can't even get to preferences - nothing 
    will open.  May have to find my Version 3 CD, or delete Photoshop 3 and get

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

    i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?
    You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
    If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
    You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

    Use your Settings app.

    Check to make sure calendars is also off so all your friends birthdays won't show up on your calendar.

  • Working with Character Styles in Photoshop CC

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Photoshop CC and was quite excited about the Character Styles Panel. But now, I'm completely puzzled.
    It almost looks like Adobe didn't finish the feature before shipping 14.1.2
    1. I can't reorder the character list? Why use a different list implementation than that for "Layer Comps?"
    2. I want to copy and paste a character style from one selection to another (Basically the workflow from Apple Keynote). It should be possible with character styles, but it just didn't work:
      - I select a formatted text section
       - I press "New Character Style icon"
       - I double-click the new style -> The font-size in the style differs from the font-size of the orginal selection?!
       - I'm pretty sure it has to do with style of the original text not being directly overwritten from "None", but there is no feature to "bake" style-formatting either.
    3. I can't remove and restyle the Character-Style "None". But when I accidently assign "None", it is defined as 12px Arial Black . So the default-style HAS a style definition and should therefore be editable like the other character styles.
    I'm completely blow away how non-intuitive the whole process is. I never had problems to understand character styles in InDesign, Pages, Word and Illustrator. But in Photoshop is either completely broken or non-intuitive.
    Just my two cents.

    What version of camera raw do you have?
    In photoshop under Help>About Plugin does it list Camera Raw and if so which version is it?
    (click on the words Camera Raw to see the version)
    Camera raw doesn't work if it's a camera raw file or some other file type such as jpeg or tif?
    What camera are the camera raw files from?
    Officially camera raw 8.3 is the latest version of camera raw that will work on windows vista.

  • 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!

  • InDesign erroneously applies character style to imported text

    For a year, I had been importing text into InDesign with little trouble until this problem starting happening and I can't figure out why.
    Let's say I have a CS3 file with defined character and paragraph styles.
    If I draw an empty text box, InDesign shows the character style "superscript" and paragraph style "ext_all" are applied. I can select "Break Link to Style," but if I import text into that box, the "superscript" character style is applied.
    The following happens whether I create a text box first or not:
    If I import a styled Word file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a Word character style.
    If I import an InDesign Tagged Text file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a character tag.
    If I import a very simple one sentence rtf file, all the text is styled "superscript."
    Anyone run into this? I've tried googling, but can't find a discussion about it. Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps you've inadvertently set those styles as the defaults? That would happen if you click on them with nothing selected. For the current document switch to the text tool and make sure there is no cursor active or text frame selected, then check to see that the character style is set to [None] and the paragraph style to what you would like to be your default. Also check the settings in the character and paragraph panels.
    To make sure this doesn't carry forward into any more new documents, if indeed that was the problem, close all documents and repeat the above steps. With no documents open your selections will become the defaults for all new work until changed.
