How to handle paragraph styles in imported text with no tagged paragraph styles

Hi
Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel I have both formats) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
Or how is it possible to change paragraph style when forcing a line break when using text reflow?
I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc. (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it) The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
Then I tried to look into "object styles" and format a text frame on a master page with an object style, and by using a "dilimiter character" forcing the text to start in a new frame when bringing the frame into live on a page. But here I cannot make the "text frame/object style" to apply or to work.
If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you
This picture are illustrating the outcome I would to get to....

If the incoming text does not have styles, or has only one style, there is really not much you can do other than assign styles after the import. If there are recognizable patterns in the formatting, a lot of that can be done with Find/Change, and there are a few scripts floating around that can help automate some of that.
Also, if your styles have a a good "next style" heirarchy built in, you can select large blocks of text (up to the point where applying next style would be incorrect), then right click the style name in the paragraph styles panel and choose apply style and next style (remove overrides). Warning. Removing overrides will remove any locally applied formatting like bold or italics, so local formatting should be converted to character styles first. Applied character styles are not overrides and will be preserved.

PAGES: How change a Paragraph Style ?

Hello all,
there is something that is driving me crazy...
using Pages for iPad is it possible to change the default settings of a Paragraph Style ?
I am not talking about importing a document with a custom set of styles but simply:
- I open my document in Pages for iPad
- I select a line of text and apply the "Header 1" style to it
- I am not happy - for example - with the font size of the Header 1 style and I want to make all my Header 1 paragraphs change their font size
- In the desktop version you would simply change/update the style you need, but on the iPad I cant find a way to change those values
(BTW, I seem to remember that I once managed to do this...)
Thanks,

You seem to be able to copy and paste styles, but nowhere that I can find does it let you update the defined styles.
There is the manual which does not refer to any suitable method, and also some eBooks on the subject but I have scanned those and can find no reference to redefining styles either.
The more I play with Pages for iPad the more of a toy it seems. Sort of amazing that it does what it does on a mobile tablet, but when you get right down to it, not very useful.

How to change paragraph style

I have a text frame selected and it contains a story having various pargraph styles applied.
I want to get name of each paragraph style applied in it and replace each with some other styles.
But when I am applying style only one style is applied to whole text frame .(i.e all existing styles are replaced with a single style).
Please help me , if there is any way.
Thanks

It was not a criticism of your design choices. You have misread my comments, I am simply warning you from long experience. We have no idea of what you do or don't know, most people who come here have little and it is safer to assume they have none.
Creating a Textbox, which is randomly sized and placed and contains no text, is not dissimilar to having a Textbox already in the document with Placeholder text in it that you click on and it is replaced by whatever you type. If your client is quite familiar with Pages they must be familiar with using Placeholders and with duplicating and resizing objects as required. It is just a way of getting around your problem.
Obviously you have done something else, or you would not be getting the results you have. I keep my version of Pages 5.5.3 as installed for testing, I don't know what you have done that is different and can't tell without having the file.
If you want me to look, email me via my blue name. If not, that's fine too.

Fonts default to 50 point when applying a paragraph style

I have run into this several times. When updating an InDesign file from an older version (now using CS5) when I apply a paragraph style the font defaults to 50 point no matter the style settings. Is there some way to avoid this. Currently I'm copying and pasting the graphics into a new file and having to reset the text. If I copy any of the old text over it causes the same problem.
Most of our text is copied and pasted from Microsoft Word (old version and new text edits), however, the text that was already in the document and the new text both do the same thing when a style is applied.
CS5
Win 7 Pro 64bit

My original "body" style isn't base on any style and the other styles are based on "body" but none of them (including Basic Paragraph), have 50 as the size.
I had it wrong in my original question, it's not 50 point size, it's 30 point with 50 point leading, bold, and Myriad Pro (which is my body font) that everything converts to no matter which style I choose. My basic paragraph style is Times New Roman 12/14. Body font that everything is based on is Myriad Pro, regular, 10/14.

Setting default paragraph style (InDesign CS4, AppleScript)

I'm trying to set the default paragraph style to [Basic Paragraph], but this produces an error.
Setting other styles does work, what's wrong with "[Basic Paragraph]"?
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell active document
tell text defaults
set applied paragraph style to "[Basic Paragraph]"
end tell
end tell
end tell
Thanks,
Peter

Alternatively you could use:
set applied character style of text defaults to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of text defaults to paragraph style 1

Problem Saving Paragraph Styles

For some reason Pages does not want to save paragraph styles across all documents. when I create a new one in one document and save the document the style is saved but only in that document. when I create a new document the style I just made isnt avaliable. Is there a preference I can check to make sure all styles are saved across all documents I make in the future?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Styles are specific to each document. You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

[JS] About Paragraph Style

Hello,
There is a problem when you use following script. The error is "Object does not support method or property paragraphStyleGroups "
var myStory = myDocument.pages.item(0).place(File(mypath_new), [myX, myY], undefined, false, true)[0];
for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myStory.textContainers.length; myCounter++)
myStory.textContainers[myCounter].applyObjectStyle(myDocument.objectStyles.item("2 Legs Leading Top"));
myStory.texts.item(0).paragraphStyleGroups.item("NYT Byline & Text Styles").paragraphStyles.item("NYT Text");
Can anybody help me to solve this problem.

I am trying to flow the text first using command place. Then i need to apply object style to text frame and paragraph style to the text. I am getting perfect result for object style. But i am getting error for paragraph style.
I know we can include paragraph style as a part of object style and i did that. Still when i am applying the object style on text frame the paragraph style is Basic (Default). So that is why i want to apply paragraph style differently. Not as a part of object style.
This might be bug in ID.

How do I save a style of paragraphs with a numbered list in Pages 05?

I wish to save a style of paragraph with a numbered list. Is it possible to save them at the same time in Pages 5 as it was in Pages 09'?
Where are the shortcuts?
Thanks.

Yes, I know but there is no real list preset. The format command, when opened, shows a menu and I think you are using the word Style differently. A Style in 09 allowed one to save present formatting for several text appearance options, which is no longer possible in 05 "styles." Styles in text edting for applications like Word, OpenOffice, iBooks, and Pages 09 referred to a way to save a set of formatting command together and apply them with one click. That's the rub here in 5.
Yes, you can apply a bullet as a "style" to a paragraph, bui you cannot save that formatting as a preset in any way to do it in one click. The issue is consistency and one click capability for multiple formatting features for a paragraph of text.
Separating bullets and lists from the ability to maintain them in the Paragraph style removed the one click paragraph formatting option which is helpful for anyone who uses it more than a few times in a document.
The need is for people who want to use common formatting for paragraphs and maintain a one-click option to apply text, indent, spacing, and bullets in one click, not spread out in several menus and lists.
If you can explain how to do this in Pages 5 I will be very happy and you will have saved me many clicks. Otherwise I will continue to use the bullet "style" list drop down menu.

How do I change the default paragraph style from Body Text?

The default paragraph style in my email setup is Body Text. This does not wrap properly for some recipients, but Paragraph does. How do I change the default so that Paragraph is automatically used when I start a new email?

There are two types of defaults: defaults for all new documents and defaults for the current document. To change the default for any open document make sure no text frame is active and change the formatting as desired in either the Control panel or the Character and Paragraph panels. To change default formatting for new document (those not yet created) do this while no file is open. You can’t change the defaults for several documents at once without a script.

Change default paragraph style!!

How do I change the default paragraph style? I can't stand double spaces but that's what I am stuck with
I want freeform, not body
Application is Pages 2.0.2
Message was edited by: Spprrw

Welcome to the Apple forums
By default, the Pages developers chose to use 12 point after paragraph spacing which will make it appear as a double space between paragraphs. You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

Paragraph styles all default to wrong character style

So I set up a template and based all my character styles on my basic body copy. However, every new text box I create it defaults to the "character styles" to my section header color and sizing. I have to right click and "clear character styles" every single time. I've never had this happen before and cannot figure out how to fix it, it is such a PAIN!

From your explanation, I suspect your use of Character Styles might need to be redirected to Paragraph Styles. But that is conjecture, so I apologize if I'm wrong. In any case, to solve your problem; with nothing selected, choose No Character Style in the Character Styles panel. That sets the default for new frames.

How do I stop ID from assigning a paragraph style to the TABLES?

In-Design is adding "H1" paragraph style to EVERY table is inserted, so the table headers formatting is affected by that H1 style.
I guess it chooses H1 because it's the FIRST style I created (and then modified the "basic paragraph" to modify the rest of default text).
It's like it's adding "Style_ID=1"
I tried placing the character in different places, to make sure it's not the style the cursor is in which is inherited, and no, no matter where I place the cursor, when I "insert table" the cursor is automatically placed into the first cell (header cell) and the paragraph "H1" is selected (and applied)
Adding a table with NO headers does the same, so it's not me that confused style names and applied some to the wrong place.
H1 is not used and table and cells styles are not based in it.
I don't know whether it's a bug, but IT FEELS like a bug.
How do I expect it to work?
I expect that by creating a table, NO style be applied other than the table's. (Not even the basic one)

You might have set the default paragraph style for the document (which you set by selecting a paragraph style with no text frame selected) to your H1 paragraph style.
Make sure it's on "Basic paragraph" when you select the type tool..

Assign paragraph-styles to xml-tags correctly. How to?

Hi,
I want to assign xml-tags to existing paragraph styles in InDesign CS6 on a Mac 10.6.8. The xml itself is organized like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<katalog>
<artikel id="32434">
<img href="/bilder/32434.tiff" />
<artikeltextgruppe>
<artikelmarke>DieselGabana</artikelmarke>
<artikelheadline>Jeans ist super</artikelheadline>
<artikeltext>Superjeans knallt rein.</artikeltext><artikelnummer>70238</artikelnummer>
<artikelmaterial>100% Jeans</artikelmaterial>
<artikelgroesse>Uni</artikelgroesse>
<artikelfarbe>Uni</artikelfarbe>
</artikeltextgruppe>
</artikel>
</katalog>
By selecting the option "Assign formats per name to the tags" (translated from German) I wanted to generate the desired look. But if I start this all I get is the whole textblock of <artikeltextgruppe> assigned to 1 formatstyle. And besides that the whole content of <artikeltextgruppe> looks like one single paragraph without any structure (no linebreaks) The content though is correctly structured because I can highlight the value of e.g. <artikelmarke>separately by doubleclicking this tag in the structure-view.
a) What can I do to assign the formats correctly AND to have correct linebreaks?
b) If I drag my node <img href="/bilder/32434.tiff" /> iin the layout I get a message displayed to search again for the correct reference location. And that happens independently on using relative or absolute references (Although I need to use relative ones) What can I do here?
thanks so much

First, I would probably do a search and replace to remove the group element using a text editor (the <artikeltextgruppe> and </artikeltextgruppe> elements). They really are not needed.
Second, I usually create my styles with the same names as the elements themselves. Then, after the XML is imported, I use the "map tags to styles" command from the Structure pane.
I copied and pasted the single artikel element to create 4 records, added a varition of an image to each element record. Once the paragraph styles were mapped, your XML looked like this in a two column format (to get all 4 records on a page)...
By default, ID will create a single line to a single line in the XML. So if you desire elements to be on their own line, the XML needs to be formatted that way. If you need different styling within a paragraph, you need to create character styles and alter the elements within an XML group and or paragraph and add the code in the XML accordingly or post process once inside of ID.
I always need to take the XML I am given and reformat, move elements with the tree, change links to images, remove tabs and or spaces where I do not want them, tag for character styles, etc., to get close to how I want the initial format to be.
