How can I change the paragraph style of the Table of Contents entries themselves?

From what I can see, all Table of Contents entries are the same font, size, indentation and layout when the book is viewed in Portrait mode on an iPad. I have long subheadings in my Table of Contents, and they get truncated!
How can I modify the style definition of the TOC entries themselves so that they will display in a smaller font size with less indenting, etc.?

Hi, Yanesh:
Please understand, the FrameMaker feature known as a run-in paragraph, which is a paragraph with a "carriage return" but without a "line feed," HAS NO COUNTERPART in InDesign. InDesign also lacks the FrameMaker side heading feature, which is created by the combination of a reserved area in the text frame and the paragraph property to inhabit that area. FrameMaker separates paragraphs by using the larger of space below paragraph and space above paragraph, but InDesign separates paragraphs by adding the space below paragraph and the space above paragraph.
There are several complicated manual methods of simulating these FrameMaker properties in InDesign.
Here's a recent forum discussion of these exact issues: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759635#3759635. The thread mentions DTP Tools' conversion tool, the MIF Filter commercial plug-in for InDesign, and discusses its shortcomings. I don't recall it mentioning in-tools.com plug-ins that can simulate side headings, like those in FrameMaker, but they don't convert FrameMaker to InDesign.
You can add your vote for InDesign's developers to include these FrameMaker features, and any others you'd like to see, here: wish.

How can I force a paragraph style without losing italic?

This has been annoying me for ages. I work on documents in Word, applying italic to book titles etc, and then import into indesign. I apply a paragraph style and three times out of four the bits of italic are preserved. However, the fourth time the paragraph style doesn't take (probably because of the presence of italic) and I have to force it to do so by using Alt-click. Invariably the italic is then replaced by roman.
It's happening just now with a whole lot of footnotes and endnotes in a book I'm working on and means I have to go back through them all, manually applying italic to my book titles and references. Is there any way to force an endnote/footnote paragraph style without losing the italic text?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom.

I'm not sure that forward planning is so necessary here.
If your only concern is losing italics when importing from Word, create,
in InDesign, an italic character style. Then do a search and replace
throughout the InDesign document (after you've placed the Word file)
searching for italics formatting, and replacing with your italics
character style.
That will prevent you from losing your italics formatting.
Repeat for bold, bold italics, superscript, subscript, and anything else
the author uses.
There are some scripts that help in this process (I think one of them is
called "preptext", by Jongware).
If you want a comprehensive solution that can find every type of
formatting override and creates and applies the appropriate character
style, check out my "Create Character Styles from Overrides" script,
available under the scripting tab on freelancebookdesign.com.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text
end change_case_of

How do I use multiple paragraph styles in one line?

I'm working on my thesis in APA style. I'm creating a Table of Contents with the help of Pages. When you get to Level 3 in APA headings (no problems with Levels 1 and 2) it needs to look like this:
[0.5in Indent] Masculinities in higher education. For men, the college experience.... (paragraph starts on same line as the heading).
I created a paragraph style for the (bolded) heading above [Heading 3]. When I do this, like magic the heading shows up in the table of contents (yeah!). However when I do this the rest of the paragraph shows up too (boo!). When I highlight to change the just rest of the paragraph (not the heading) to the style "Body" it changes the heading too and removes it from the table of contents. How can I make 2 paragraph styles work together in the same paragraph so I can use the tale of contents tool?? Surly there is a work-around.
Pages 5

As the name implies, paragraph styles are not intended to be used on a unit smaller than a paragraph. Therefore if you want the TOC to be automatically generated then you need to have distinct paragraphs... as you specify the APA style with the content and heading continuous then you will have to manually create the TOC.

How do you automatically create paragraph styles from a document?

Hi,
(posted in general indesign as well - advised to post over here)
I know I've seen this somewhere but can't for the life of me find it...
How can I automatically create paragraph and character styles in an InDesign CC document? I'm sure I saw a script to do this and though I'll download that later...only i can't find it now.
The scenario is that I have a document created by someone else which has lots of paragraph styles, but each one has over-rides on (so they're not really much use). I'm wanting something that will go through the document and create all the different styles that have been used.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
I was given this tip to try: PerfectPrepText (http://indesignsecrets.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting.php) but couldn't get it to do what i was after unfortunately...however it did point me in the direction of something that does the trick:
PowerStyles (DTP Tools - Power Styles for Adobe InDesign).
Not sure if it's available for CC yet though.

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet

CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000"          Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000"          Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000"          Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000"          Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

Hi Rick,
"Believe it or not, Numbers just doesn't work as well for me as Excel."
I don't find that difficult to believe. If you need the functions supported by Excel and not by Numbers, then Excel is the tool to use. OTOH, your finding of 'more flexible' translates, at least in part to 'more familiar.' All applications, Excel included, force you into certain paths.

How can I have 2 versions of Numbers but only 1 app? Read

This is the weirdest thing I ever saw. It's driving me crazy and making me look like fool.
In an earlier post I mentioned that something happened to my numbers. The window looked very different from this afternoon when I created 2 new spread-sheets. I must have sounded crazy to qinn below in my answer.
Now I clicked the Numbers icon in the dock and it opened to my original Numbers 09 (2.3). So I tried to open a sheet I created a few hours ago and it says I can't open that file, I need a later version of Numbers. OMG
Just a though so I opened the finder, went to the applications folder and I only have ONE Numbers.app. So I clicked on that and low-and-behold the new 3.2.2 opened!!!!!!!
How can I have 2 versions of numbers but only one app???? I thought I was going crazy. Now I know something isn't right.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi Allen,
Look in your Applications folder for an other folder "iWork '09".

How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.
