CS3 copying paragraph attributes

Quark had a keyboard shortcut for copying paragraph attributes from another paragraph in the same thread. You would click in the paragraph you wanted to copy from, click the shift and option keys and then click in the paragraph you wanted to change. No eyedropper, no scrolling thru a long list of styles. Does InDesign have one? I have not been able to find it.
Thanks!

Mostly it's just less overhead to do it the XPress way. Your cursor is already in the text you want to change and you can see the subhead it needs to be styled like 3 paragraphs up on the page. Control-option-click and you're done.
For the production team, who basically makes money on how fast and how accurately they can set the stuff, I don't think $20 is a wasted investment to keep them in the groove. We're talking about a department where you get chastised if you use the mouse to select a menu or palette item that has a keyboard command associated, because moving your mouse is about 10x slower and harder on your carpal tunnel.
Maybe for more casual users it's not worth it. It depends on how much you value your speed.

Copy new attributes in new releases

Could you please provide detailed steps using WCF_CC or manual process of new attributes in CRM 7.0 EhP1?
I'm working on message in UI Configuration check in WCF_CC which states,
"Context node Attribute does not exist: STRUCT.ZZFIELD in Object type BP_ACCOUNT, Subobject Type ZZI5EEWCONTACT Role Config key <DEFAULT>, Component Usage <DEFAULT>"
Selecting the edit button directed to UI Config Tool where I could see the missing attibute in the custom configuration which saved newly in a customizing request.
Recheck on the UI Configuration for the view resulted with a new error which is,

[JS CS3] Find paragraphs that contain a single Style override

Given a document with consistently applied paragraph styles. I need to locate all the paragraphs in the document that contain a paragraph style override of the left indent. All other style overrides can be ignored.
I see in the DOM how to clear overrides, but is there any way to locate paragraphs that have a specific override?
I suspect there is no way to do this, but thought I'd throw this out there.

This will override a single paragraph attribute:
var myAttribute = "leftIndent";
var myParagraphs = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
for (var n = 0; n < myParagraphs.length; n++){
myParagraphs[n][myAttribute] = myParagraphs[n].appliedParagraphStyle[myAttribute];

RECIPIENT DESCRIPTION IN BDF and SEND COPY TO ATTRIBUTE ON FIELD

I have a field that is 20 bytes long has the "send copy to " attribute selected.
My BDF has a recipient INS and the description is "INSURED COPY" Data prints in field as "INSURED.COPY........" (where periods are spaces) I actually want the information to print as "....INSURED.COPY...." so that it displays centered in the field. I used to be able to put spaces before the recipient's description in 11.3 by using the <RECIP_NAMES> and added the required spaces before the actual description. Doing this I could force the information to be centered for each recipient, even though one recipient might be "AGENT COPY" and another might be "HOMEOFFICE COPY", I could force the information to be centered by adding extra spaces in the description.
Now, in release 12.2, I can not add spaces before the recipient description in the BDF. Every time I add spaces prior to the description Documaker strips them out. Is there some other way to center the recipient description in the field? Can I add the JUSTFLD rule to a field that has "send copy to" attribute selected?
I was able to do the alt+0160 to force a description field to be spaces but I don't think I can add more than one alt+0160 to the description.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Just to confirm have gone through here Menu > Messaging > "gmail or yahoo wwhatever it is" > options > E-mail settings > User settings > Send copy to self

Copy Paragraph Style doesn't do its job all the time.

If I have a paragraph style in pink, I will select that text, copy paragraph style and paste it onto another selection of text, turning it pink also.
Usually, if I past the style onto a selection of text in the MIDDLE of a sentence, it will turn the whole sentence pink.
Lately, pasting paragraph style DOES NOT paste what I copied (e.g. turning the sentence to pink italics or even to blue, something which I used in another document at another time).
Also, for about 30 minutes in ONE day, pasting paragraph style into the MIDDLE of a sentence only turned my selection pink, which was something I liked. Then as soon as this function came, it disappeared.
Please help!

The button for Copy style or paste style is not working. So I tested it using a numbered list with paragraphs.
First:
I went to text I wanted to match to others, used the menu bar and drop-down lists for "Format" / "copy character style". Then I went to the other ordered list and selected the new text and used the drop-down list "format" / "paste character style" and it worked... Matched font, size, color etc.
Second:
I repeated the above steps but instead of using the drop-down lists on the menu bar, I used the button on the tool bar called "Copy Style" and "Paste Style". Note: in the past using these buttons has worked, I have used them all the time, but for some reason, it is now not working.
So when I did the same thing, hit "copy style" button I checked the drop-down list to see if "copy character style" was not greyed out and it wasn't. I then selected the new text to change, and hit "paste style" the button. Nothing happened but it changed the ordered list level (which did not match the original text level) So I checked the drop-down menu to see if I could even hit "paste character style" and sure enough, it was not even an option, it only had "paste paragraph style". Even though prior, when using the drop-down menu for "copy character style" the option for "paste character style" was available... So something is wrong with the buttons for the "copy style" and "paste style".... They worked in the past, and now they are not... it was just a lot easier to use the buttons versus having to navigate though drop-down menus.

Copy Paste Attributes

First off - I will admit I am a FCP editor who is figuring out Motion in fits and starts. Basically what I am building is a bullet point graphic of 5 list items where it starts with all 5 visible, fully opaque, and after a couple seconds, 4 lines dim to 10 percent opacity and the 5th line grows larger and moves to the center. I built the first version of this, keyframing all the opacity and move/grows. I then save the project and rename it "2nd line move." What I want to do is be able to copy the attributes from the one line that grows and moves ("1st line move") to the new, renamed project. In FCP I use copy/paste attributes for situations like this. I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Motion, without pretty much creating new keyframes on each version of the same graphic.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Steve

hi,
a simple way is to click on the object you have animated, and then simply to click and hold on the position parameter name in the inspector and drag it to the object you want to copy the animation too.
You can do this for the scale parameter as well.

Please help-how to copy & apply attributes to another file

I just started learning AE CS5.5 and I am stuck.
I am trying to duplicate or copy the attributes from a jpeg file in an existing layer in a comp that has already been created. I am not interested in duplicating the image, just the attributes (transform, material options and other imbedded characteristics that are part of this file)
The file I want to apply these same attributes to is a .psd file which has multiple layers I want to apply these same effects to.
How do I duplicate these attributes so they retain the same settings?
Thanks!

Duplicate the layer with the effects & keyframes & whatnot; yes, duplicate the layer.
Highlight the duplicated layer, then Option-drag the replacement footage from the project window onto this duplicated layer. Poof! Done!
I guess it would be alt-drag on a windows box.

Snow Leopard (10.6+) - could not copy extended attributes to *

I have a NAS device running Samba version 3.0.26a.
Many files I download with Safari, view with iPhoto, or use in many other OS X applications, get extended attributes added to them.
These extended attributes "cannot" be copied to my network devices using the Finder copy dialog. Finder will copy the file, report it failed to copy extended attribs, then delete the file!
However, the cp and rsync commands work, but cp complains about the extended attributes. But at least it actually copies, and leaves the file on my network appliance!
Here is a summary of the log:
mbp-stnt-09-01:Desktop josh_miller$ cp LexmarkX940eX.dmg /Volumes/projects/_Software/
cp: LexmarkX940eX.dmg: could not copy extended attributes to /Volumes/projects/Software/Lexmark_X940eX.dmg: Operation not permitted
Here is an example of an Extended attrib on that file:
mbp-stnt-09-01:Desktop josh_miller$ xattr LexmarkX940eX.dmg
com.apple.diskimages.recentcksum
All other OS X versions back as far as I can see, work fine. This is a new issue with Snow Leopard and I'd very much like it corrected!

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over posting here or submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Copy text attributes using shortcut in ID CS 4!

Hi!
I want to copy text attributes using shortcut keys. Is it possible? It is possible in MX Freehand.
Here, I want to copy attribute (Magenta colour) and apply to another word (Magenta colour).
Thanks.

You use the Eyedropper too for this. The shortcut is i, unmodified, so you can’t call it while editing text. But you can click on the tool. You then click once to load the eyedropper with the desired formatting, then click wherever you want it applied. Click and Drag, like selecting text, to apply formatting to a word or words. I have not tried editing the shortcut so it can be called while editing text, but you can try. Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, and go to Tool under Product Area.

Copied text attributes

copied text attributes, animation, speed and font wont copy to another clip

It won't. The text will be broken in mid-sentence. Cumbersome to work with etc. Plus you don't have the styles translate across. Which the op wants.
A more elegant solution perhaps would be to move all the text to the upper most layers, where possible.
Turn off the text layers and save the layout etc. as eps or pdf, and open whichever one you choose in Illustrator.
If you just want the text with styles - colours etc. then do the following
Then in InDesign turn off all layers except the text layers.
Export this text to RTF.
Then in illustrator import the text using File>Place and choose the RTF - styles will be transferred with the RTF text.

Copy the attribute as well the associated type from the standard to your enhanced view.?

We are doing CRM Upgrade to Ehp3 and i am working with TC:WCF_CC
Please guide me how to open standard view in parallel in component workbench?
to add copy the attribute as well the associated type from the
standard to your enhanced view.?
Please advice

Hi,
The only option i see is writing a BDC for a Mass Change or through Catt or E-Catt procedure, you can define any no. of fields there to copy and then you need to maintain the data in Excel file correctly, otherwise Ecatt is not going to upload the data.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Copy/paste Attributes to multiple clips supported in CS3?

Adobe premiere pro 2 doesn't support this function. Is not possible to paste attributes (including frame Hold settings) onto multiple (highlighted) clips, the option becomes shaded if you try. It was supported in 5.0 and 6.0 but was dropped in recent versions. Anyone try it?

Copying text attributes bwt paragraphs

Back in the Xpress days, there was a key command which allowed you to click on a para of text, holding a combo of keys pressed, then click onto different para of text and the style attributes of the former would be taken by the latter.
Can Indesign do this?
I've been meaning to ask this question for years now! Just got a loads of text to change and remembered this old trick from Xpress days.
Cheers

If you apply a character style to the text first (say if you have "this text is supposed to be bold"
Then make a character style called Bold and apply it to the word "bold"
Then use the Eyedropper tool to sample that and apply that same Character Style to whatever text you like.
Ps - if you double click the Eyedropper tool you get all the options associated with what the tool will sample, so you can tweak to your desire.

CS3-- Optional Tag Attribute problem

The pages to my site have already been created from a template. I need to add a frame redirect to the body tag on one page. So I added an editable attribute to the body tag in the template [attribute: ONLOAD, Label: onload, Type: text, Default: Frameredirect();] For some reason, when I try to edit the tag on the pages [Modify --> Template Properties] the dialog box says "No template properties available". I can see the frameredirect in the code. How come I can't edit it? Thanks

After I designed the site, my client changed all of the pages accept the home page. Those other 8 child pages look the same. I am new at this, however, so I refer to the Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual a lot. It made sense to me to go with a nested template.
Here's the code from the nested template...
