Find a specific paragraph style within a table and apply a specific cell style?

I'm a total beginner when it comes to scripting, but I would like to create a script that finds the paragraph style "resultsUL" within a large table and applies the cell style "female". Sure wish the find/replace was able to account for cell styles as well as paragraph and character styles. Is anyone willing to help me with this? Thank you!

Hi,
I do it quickly defining a simple research on the "resultsUL" para style and using a loop with QuicKeys as:
Cmd-0 is a shortcut associated to the "female" cell style.
So, What I do: search the para style (Cmd-option-F) and apply the cell style, then search again…
As easy to do with QuicKeys, I think that can be easily done with a [JS] (faster process!).

Capture from Two Tables and Apply in one Table

Hi All,
Is it possible to capture from two tables (master and child table) and apply in one table?
For example,
1. DEPT and EMP tables in source database with relation
DEPT table structure is like DEPT_ID, DEPT_NAME, LOC_NAME
EMP table structure is like EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, EMP_DOJ, EMP_SAL, DEPT_ID
2. EMP_DEPT_STAGING in destination database
EMP_DEPT_STAGING table structure is like EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, EMP_DOJ, EMP_SAL, DEPT_ID. DEPT_NAME, LOC_NAME
if there is any update in DEPT table, EMP_DEPT_STAGING should get populated with Department and its employee details. Similarly, if there is any update in EMP table EMP_DEPT_STAGING table should get populated with Employee details and along with department detail.
Is it possible to accomplish this? If yes, could you please provide me some examples?
Thanks & Regards

[JS CS3] Find/Change "[Basic Paragraph]" style

I'm trying to find all occurances of the [Basic Paragraph] style and replace them with [No Paragraph Style]. I'm using:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph Style]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";
I get the message "Invalid value for set property 'appliedParagraphStyle'. Expected String, ParagraphStyle or NothingEnum enumerator, but received "[Basic Paragraph Style]"."
I've tried every combination of brackets, no brackets, quotes, no quotes, etc. It doesn't seem like this can be scripted, even though it can be done via find/change in InDesign. Am I banging my head against the wall? Does anyone know if this can be done?

"[Basic Paragraph]" as shown in the code below doesn't work either. (the word "Style" actually snuck in as I was trying different variations. But no combination seems to work.
If anyone knows that [Basic Paragraph] can or cannot be accessed via scripting, I'd like to know. Thanks.
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";

CS3 Find Font/Delete Paragraph Style/Redefine Paragraph Style Causes Crash

I am running into a very frustrating issue where I cannot replace a paragraph style. The issue is that we used to use some adobe type fonts and want to move to the true type equivalent so that we don't have problems working on files between mac and pc. The problem occurs on both mac and pc on a variety of hardware (both c86 and ppc macs for example). When we open the document it identifies that the font cannot be found (example Palatino T1). When we click find font and select the regular ttf Palatino replacement and click Change All Indesign just vanishes and leaves a crash message with a ton of garbage and a read only memory error. The same happens if we change the font on some text and right click on aragraph style and click "redefine style" - there is a sudden crash.
Trying to work around this I went into our templates and tried to change it there. Opening the paragraph style and selecting the new font caused it to crash upon selecting OK. Also trying to Make a new paragraph style works, but then when deleting the old one causes a crash no matter what combination of mapping or not mapping the old paragraph style we chose (we tried every option under the dialogue and selected several different styles to map to or none at all).
This occurs on several different fonts and on several different templates. I have tried deleting the adobe font cache to no avail. Any help resolving this would be great - all our employees are going nuts over this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Peter, your latest post led me to an interesting revelation. When I change Palatino (t1) bold to Palatino Bold using Find/Change it is fine. When I change Palatino (t1) to any font using Find/Change there is a curious result! As soon as I click find first the page changes to the default template and all content is hidden. The 4 or 5 places where palatino occurs on the default template change fine, but then on the next click of FIND FIRST it crashes! So the problem is connected to "find first", not the actual change. My guess is this is an issue of with how the find/change jumps from the template to the individual page, but I'm not sure exactly what is happening.

I cannot find the "Add Paragraph Style" option in the TOC inspector

The Help Center under "Customize the table of contents" indicates that I can add a paragraph style to the TOC items list. However, when I follow the instructions on the help screen and click the "Add" pop-up menu, I can only add back one of the sections I have already removed. There is no option to add a paragraph style.

For that choice to show, I believe it depends on which template (with which TOC type) you've selected. Some provide it and some don't.
Create a new book and choose the 'Modern Type' template, then complete the same steps and you should be able to see what Help is referring to.

[JS, CS2] Find Text - Change Paragraph Style

I have text supplied to me formated with <g>,,<k> or <r> at the start of paragraphs, this represents different paragraph styles that need to be applied. I started a script below, but it comes up with an error at "app.findTextPreferences.findText" have a used the wrong function here? Is there an easy way for it to run through all of them as well, or should I just repeat this script with ,<k> and <r> var myDoc = app.activeDocument; var greenBullet = ["<g>", "<g>"] replaceGreen(); function replaceGreen() { for (i = 0; i < greenBullet.length; i++) { var myGreenArray = greenBullet[i]; app.findTextPreferences.findText = myGreenArray[0]; app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = myGreenArray[1]; app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle=myDoc.characteerStyles.item("OFI Body copy_GREEN BULLET"); myDoc.changeText(); } }

Thanks Dave! OK, Now I am getting this message when I run it: "A layer with this name already exists... ... if (myPageItems[i] instanceof TextFrame && myPageItems[i].itemLayer.name = "listings")" So it's trying to create a new layer called listings.

Complicated Question (see pdf): Use data from one table to find the same data in a second table and take other data from that table and place it in a third table. :)

I don't even know if this is posible.
I'm using iwork '09
View PDF

I hope I can clarify:
For our purposes here:
Table 1 = "Step 2 - Product Sizes"
Table 2 = "Option id Master"
Table 3 = "Export - Product Info"
Table 1:
The user would enter values for "productcode," "Horz," and "Vert"
"Size" would auto fill based on values in Horiz and Vert (I have this taken care of already).
Table 2: This is a completely static table that I want to search against. - Data from other tables in the doc does not alter or change the data in this doc.
We just want to look at table 2. Find the existing value in "table 2 : size" column that matches the "table 1 : size" column and then pull the "optionids" and "productprice" from that row.
Can the value from "Table 1 : Size" be used as a search term in "Table 2 : Size?"
Table 3: The user does not enter any values on this table.
"productcode" is pulled from table 1 - "Table 1 :: A5" = "Table 3 :: A5"
"optionids" and "productprice" are pulled from Table 2 columns "D" and "E" - however we do not know which Table 2 row it is pulling from until we enter data in Table 1.
As I'm writing this I'm realizing that
A. this is probably really confusing to you.
B. this may be impossible inside of numbers.
If you have some other method that would facilitate the same out come but be structured differently please let me know.
--- maybe to help you understand further what I am doing here is my current workflow:
I record the size of a piece of art.
Then I manually go to my "Option id Master" and find the same size.
I then copy the corresponding "optionids" and "productprice" cells. (these options control the prices displayed on my website)
I got to my "Export - Product Info" table and paste the values in the corresponding cells.
I was hoping to automate this as it takes a long time when you have hundreds of products.
Thanks for the help!

How to avoid validation of input items within af table and javascript

Hi all,
I developed a form which includes table and commandButton. Some input items are required. I want them to validate while just button pressed.
And everything was ok, this scenario was working well. But when table presents only one row, selecting row does not work. See alsa plz: Table row selection --> might be 9th post
I applied to my jsff the solution which is told in above link. It works previous issue but this time, javascript caused another problem that is inconsistent validation. As i understood java script overrides af table immediate="true" property. plz see : http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/11897217/640/11897217.png
How can i resolve that? Any suggestion?

I guess you want the table header skin selector listing. [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e15862/toc.htm|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e15862/toc.htm]
search on af:table
I only see one mention of a table header though, so maybe this is the problem.
Have you looked at the html that is output (with Firebug) perhaps and seen what sort of style classes are associated with your table component? in 11g it seems that there are more human-readable style classes that you can guess at by looking at the html source.
Good luck

Place Word table and apply defined formats in ID

Hi,
I have a Word file that contains text as well as tables. These tables are defined as table format in the Word file and I also have defined table formats in ID. Now I would like to place this Word file in ID and the table should automatically be formatted in ID according to my defined table formats. I know how this works with Excel files but I don't get it with the Word file. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Chantal

InDesign doesn't automatically format imported text, it just imports it as good as it can. It does not format text, nor tables.
Perhaps you were thinking of Table Styles? You can define as much as you like, but you have to apply them yourself, just like Paragraph Styles.

How to create Database, table , and apply triiger on oracle10g lite ?

Hello All,
I want to use oracle 10g lite , i just download oracle 10g lite from oracle site and just install on my system, i have no any knowledge how to create database, how to create tables and how to apply triggers on tables. I want to access this database using JDBC.
plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me...............
Thanks in advance
Pankaj

are you trying to use oracle lite just as a database? it is normally used as part of a data synchronisation from a server, replicating snapshots to create the database and tables on the client.
PL/SQL format triggers are not supported in the oracle lite client. Java stored procedures are, but you would need to build the table interactions

Create/find tables and apply style

Hello,
I'm very new to scripting. I want to learn the basics like creating a table, creating anchored frames, textframes, etc.
Now, I want to create/find tables in a document and I would like to apply styles. I saw a script to do this. When I paste the script in Extendscript CS4, than the program crash.
The program crash in part 1. When I create another script with only part 2 (see //part 2) then there is no problem.
What do i wrong? And can anyone tell me what part 1 of the script do?
Thanks,
// part 1
// using your version; I'd prefer to return 0 if table not found
function findTable(obj) {
 while (obj.constructor.name != "Table") {
 obj = obj.parent;
 if (obj.constructor.name == "Application") {
 throw "Can't find table"
 return obj
// part 2
var myTable = 0;
if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length > 0)
 myTable = findTable(app.selection[0]);
// check for at least enough rows for 1 top row, 1 body row, 1 bottom row
if (myTable != 0 && myTable.rows.length >= 3) {
 // delete all rules; set insets to 0
 myTable.cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = "[None]";
 // format bottom row
 // (remember rows uses 0-based count)
 a = myTable.rows.length - 1;
 myTable.rows[a].cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = "4.cell_body_last";
 // format middle rows
 first = 1;
 last = myTable.rows.length - 2;
 for (a = first; a <= last; ++a)
 myTable.rows[a].cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = "3.cell_body";
 // format top row
 a = 0;
 myTable.rows[a].cells.everyItem().appliedCellStyle = "2.cell_header";

Part 1 expects the text cursor to be anywhere inside a table -- either in the regular text, or with a cell, row, column, or the entire table selected.
It walks "up" using its parent until it arrives at the table object itself.
This will only work if the text cursor actually is anywhere inside a table. It does nothing when you are somewhere else, and it only works with the "current" table.

[CS4/5] [JS] Which paragraph style does the panel context menu action work on?

Hi all,
I am trying to write something similar as http://forums.adobe.com/message/2866720#2866720 for the paragraph style context menu. I also would like to find out which paragraph style has been selected when the context menu opens. In the thread there is a "dirty" solution for this, the Edit and Apply options of the context menu also mention the name of the paragraph style. This works as long as the paragraph style is unique.
In my situation the paragraph style names are not always unique, the same name is used in different paragraph style groups. I thought of an even "dirtier" solution that might work for this. The basic idea behind this is to create a new text, asfaik Indesign will automatically apply the active paragraph style to this text and it is easy to grab this style. The code for this is below:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.contents = "grab the paraStyle";
var myParaStyle = myTextFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
myTextFrame.remove();
In my situation this approach seems to work fine but I am wondering if there is something against creating a new textframe and removing it later? And will the new text always get the current selected paragraph style?
Best Regards,
Bill

I finetuned the snippet above a bit further. In some cases the context menu will be activated (right mouseclick) from a style that is not currently selected. In thoses cases the example above doesn't give the correct information. In order to avoid this I am now applying the paragraph style of the current context menu to an intermediate textframe. The snippet below is placed inside the EventHandler of my custom context menu item.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//store current selection
var mySelection = myDoc.selection;
//create intermediate textframe
var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.contents = "grab the paraStyle";
myTextFrame.select();
//apply the para style of the context menu to the intermediate text
var contextMenu = app.menus.item("Text Style List Context Menu"); //or "$ID/RtMenuStyleListItem"
var applyMenuItem = contextMenu.menuItems.itemByID(8488).associatedMenuAction; //Apply "para style for context menu"
applyMenuItem.invoke();
//grab the para style of the context menu
var myParaStyle = myTextFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
//restore original selection and remove intermediate textframe
myDoc.selection = mySelection;
myTextFrame.remove();
Again this snippet seems to work fine. I realize this approach will only work for para styles in a Document object and not for default para styles defined in the Application (suggestions to solve this?). A further refinement could be to first check if a para style name is unique, if that is the case the solution of Jongware (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2861568#2861568) can be used and an intermediate textframe is not required.
I know this is a dirty solution but are there any issues with this approach?

Problem applying Paragraph styles in CS4 InDesign

I boughtCS4 InDesign for Windows perhaps six months ago, and it worked fine with Windows XP. I have recently installed Windows 7 and find that the paragraph styles won't always work. Of ten when I try to use the shortcut for paragraph style the paragraph in question turns pink with small squares in it. If I undo the application of paragraph styles it goes back to text. I am using Times New Roman as the major font. However, I have tried other fonts and they won't work in paragraph style either.
I tried changing several pages of the manuscript to Times New Roman Special G1, but it won't do the commas, quotes, etc. (special characters).
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix this mess?
Thanks for any help.
Earl Davis

Well, here's the situation now. But before describing it, let me thank Peter
Spier and Bob Levine who have endeavored to help me. Now, here's where we
are:
I copied a document over from Pagemaker into InDesign using Times New Roman
font. (I did the same for two other book manuscripts this past summer,
shortly after purchasing InDesign and had no problem). Suddenly a couple
weeks ago I found that the shortcut I set for the paragraph styles did not
format the paragraphs, etc., but rather turned the paragraph in which I
placed the cursor into a series of pink squares highlighted in pink. I have
tried the suggestions you fellows have given, such as copying the fonts
presently in the Windows Font Directory into the Adobe/InDesign/Fonts
directory, and then right-clicking on them and installing them. By the way,
the InDesign font directory only had the Times New Roman and Times New Roman
Special 1 and Renaissance font in it, until I copied all my fonts there and
installed them. Another oddity, I make the first letter of the first
paragraph of each chapter a decorative Renaissance font, spanning two lines.
I now find that when I do that, I may get a black square, which may turn
into the correct font after I adjust the size to two lines.
But on the general problem, I have tried changing the font in the
paragraph styles to Amerigo BT, and I sometimes get the shortcut to work,
and sometimes it still turns it into Times New Roman Special or black
squares. Also, I have opened a new file and put another copy of the text in
it, setting up the paragraph styles, etc. and still have the same problem.
So I'm at a loss what to do. I do think it's possible I am doing
something wrong with fonts or setting up the paragraph styles, but I don't
see any errors there. All my computer fonts show up in the fonts panel of
the document. Any more ideas?

Need Bookmark creation script for Paragraph style. Anybody can help me pl?

Need Bookmark creation script for Paragraph style. Anybody can help me pl?

Hi hasvi,
I wrote a similar script which creates a bookmark on each page in the "main" text frame at the begining of the frame (the 1st insertion point). Here I attached the script and a couple of sample documents: before and after. It's more complex than what you want but you can use it as a starting point. In fact, you have to find a certain paragraph style, loop through every found item and insert a bookmark, say, at the beginning of the found text.
