IDCS3 - 5.0.2: Index para style bug?

Problem is that the leading in auto-generated index texts cannot be set lower than 12 pts. In other words the lines are too loose for my liking. However, I can easily change the leading to for example 16 pts; no problem!
An example: I change the para style "Index Level 1" from size 10 pts to size 8 pts, and leading 12 pts to 8 pts.
This results in a smaller letter size (as expected), but the leading (inter-line spacing) doesn't change at all!
Then I begin to trouble-shoot a bit: 1) I open a new text frame, 2) I enter 2 or 3 paragraphs, 3) I apply for example "Index Level 1", 4) I change the leading to 2 pts, and 5) what happens?
I tell you what happens: The generated index text doesn't change a bit, whereas the text in the new text frame really gets squeezed !!!
Can you explain that? And maybe give a solution?

There are characters in your lines with 12pt leading.
How this comes to be the case is uncertain. Nested styles as Dave suggests is a very good bet.
Just walk through your index with the cursor and look at the leading field in your control panel

[svn:fx-trunk] 8303: This change tries to support legacy usages of StyleManager. setStyleDeclaration() while keeping the new "subject based" internal index of style declarations in sync with selectors.

This change tries to support legacy usages of StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration() while keeping the new "subject based" internal index of style declarations in sync with selectors. We no longer support the invalid usage of constructing a CSSStyleDeclaration with one selector but re-registering it with StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration with another selector.
QE: Yes, look out for test cases that incorrectly create a CSSStyleDeclaration with a selector AND also use StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(). I saw one invalid usage in the mustella test file: tests/Managers/StyleManager/AdvancedCSS/mixedSelectors/AdvancedCSS_MixedSelectors, specifically the "CSSStyleDeclaration_CSSSelectorKind_Type_method" test case.
Doc: Yes, please remove any examples that showed a CSSStyleDeclaration being constructed with a "name" as that is incorrect. You only construct these instances with a selector, or nothing.

Why not there a "Find/replace in Grep style" inside the Para style?

Whenever I type a digit in my text, it should be colored red as per style. I do this by grep style inside the para style, but now I need to insert brackets before and after of the digit(s), i realize that there is no replace option in grep style in the para style. Why not it be there a "find/replace" instead "find" only as it now appears?

Ya, this is simple, finding a specific para style with digit and change them, when the book in first pass. But while in the correction pass of the same book, whenever we are inserting more text into the document, there are chances to be unaware of the digit style that, it should be surrounded by brackets, and it happened earlier so I have a thought of it. Again, while paginating a book having more than 350 - 600 pages, and 3 to 4 guys working in it, I think this may work.
Expecting your valuable comment on this.

JS: Finding & replacing a character with a certain para style

I'm scripting an automated indd -> PDF project and I need to minimise the user input.
To this end, I want to search and replace commas in a particular cell of a table (which are the only instances of a particular para style), and replace them with forced line breaks.
The script I have for another part of the XML import looks like this:
//Search the document for the umlauts and replaces them with macrons. I
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Ï";
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "Ī";
myDocument.changeText();
What do I add to a similar script to make it target only content whish has a particular para style? And will it be compatible with CS4, 5 and 5.5, i.e. be agnostic to nested styles etc?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Use app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "my_style";
.. your snippet here ..
I bet there is a reset somewhere above your snippet:
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.changeTextPreferences = null;
and it would be safest to insert this as well below your code, or else this particular setting will "stick" and also be applied to following replaces.
This command is virtually unchanged since CS3, CS4? So far it seems to work in every version since then. But either way it's inconsequential to your nested styles, as these can only be character styles.

Quark could copy and paste a para style

Way back in Quark ±3 you could select some text, copy that para style and paste it to another paragraph. You could also select a load of paras then function click on another style and it would change the selection.
Can ID do this?
It was so useful!

Copy/Paste Layer Style Bug

Really, you guys didn't fix the copy/paste layer style bug in 13.0.2. Wow, easily reproduced, there is an adobe recommended workaround, meaning very aware of the problem, and couldn't fix it for this update, very sad Adobe, very sad. Can you let us know when this will be fixed?

The 13.0.2 update was targeted to fix one specific bug. It was not intended to be a general bug-fix update.
We are testing a fix now for the layer styles bug and others, and we intend to include these fixes in the next general update, which is currently slated for release in less than two months.

Help: apply different para styles to several consecutive paragraphs via script

Hi all,
I need to apply different para styles to several consecutive paragraphs via script, something like this (found somewhere on the net):
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var mySel = app.selection[0];
var myPStyle1 = "A";
var myPStyle2 = "B";
//need to add 6 more styles here:
//var myPStyle3 = "C";
//var myPStyle4 = "D";
//var myPStyle5 = "E";
//var myPStyle6 = "F";
//var myPStyle7 = "G";
//var myPStyle8 = "H";
//the last style not needed in script?
// apply 1st style to 1st paragraph
mySel.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle1);
// apply styles to paragraphs after selected
//2nd style
mySel.paragraphs[-1].insertionPoints[-1].appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);
//next style
mySel.paragraphs[-1].insertionPoints[-1].paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[-1].appliedParagrap hStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2).nextStyle;
I've tried badly, but can't find the way to extend the sequence
Sorry, no skills in scripting yet...
all styles have 'Next Style' option activated, but I can't use 'Apply style, then Next style' or Object styles, because I need four different sequences of those para styles:
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
A-B-D-E-G-H
A-C-D-F-G-H
A-D-G-H
and I really don't want to create special clones of the same style for each sequence (Keep It Simple, they say ).
I believe it can be done via four slightly adjusted scripts...
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Sorry about being late to the party, I usually pick up stuff like this right away.
How about this one?
1. No separate scripts needed, it uses a tiny dialog where you can choose what style set to use. If I'm correct, you can press a number key on Windows to immediately select one of the items.
2. It works down from the paragraph your cursor is in. It has nothing to do with text frames, though -- consecutive paragraphs inside a story always ignore any text frames.
3. Extensible: you can easily change the names of the styles in the top array, and the number of style groups in the list.
var styleLists = [
          [ "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "B", "D", "E", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H" ],
          [ "A", "D", "G", "H" ]
var radiobutts = [];
styleDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"Set Multiple Styles",canCancel:true});
with (styleDialog)
          with (dialogColumns.add())
                    with (radiobuttonGroups.add())
                              for (i=0; i<styleLists.length; i++)
                                        // Build radio button string
                                        str = "&"+String (i+1)+". ";
                                        for (j=0; j<styleLists[i].length; j++)
                                                  if (j) str += "-";
                                                  str += styleLists[i][j];
                                        radiobutts.push (radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:str, checkedState:false}) );
radiobutts[0].checkedState = true;
if (styleDialog.show())
          for (i=0; i<radiobutts.length; i++)
                    if (radiobutts[i].checkedState == true)
                              break;
          if (i < radiobutts.length)
                    par = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0];
                    for (j=0; j<styleLists[i].length; j++)
                              par.appliedParagraphStyle = styleLists[i][j];
                              par = par.parentStory.paragraphs.nextItem(par);

How to make duplicate the para styles

Hi,
I have already created some set of styles for journal tempalte [E.g.: jNL,jUNL,...].
Now I want to create same set of styles but starting with 'b' for book. [E.g.: bNL,bUNL,...].
How to get duplicate 200 style names, but 'j' has to change 'b'.
FYI:
Is this possible by script?
by
hasvi

I would strongly recommend to make organized styles, all depending on each other like a tree.
So let's say make a basic para style, then create a folder (group) for the first style, depending on the basic. Name the folder J or Journal and the styles List1, List2, etc.
When this group is complete, duplicate the folder (group) and rename it book. The styles have the same name, but are different in the group. This is easier to handle than to to rename each style.
I do a similiar thing. I create a complete style sytem with groups and subgroups based on an outside basic style, but in the group is another basic style, this has the language German, when this group is complete, I duplicate it, change the name and change the basic style in the group to English, so I have the very same style name with a different language. In this basic style I adjust also language dependend GREPs, tracking or spaces should be wider in English because it needs less space normally, etc.
It is easier to work with groups than with renaming the styles, and you get a very similiar result for using it.

Index level 4 para style - why keep with next line?

When InDesign generates an index in the usual way, it creates a default paragraph style for each level. The first line indent of each level is 7 pts. greater than the one that precedes it. In addition to that formatting, the fourth and final level has a keep option: keep with next line (1 line). Can anyone explain the rationale for that? Am I missing something obvious again?

[Jongware] wrote:
I've created a couple of indexes, but I don't think I've ever ventured as far south to include a fourth level.
Besides. Huh ... relying on InDesign to create default paragraph styles? I handcraft mine before I need'em.
Me too, I was just re-creating index generation via scripting, and for checking and user-familiarity wanted exactly the same formatting as you get when you generate an index in the usual way. I couldn't see what purpose was served by that keep option in level 4.
I suppose there might be some situations in which all four levels are used, especially if you follow the rule of thumb than there shouldn't be more than six locators for each index entry. Maybe a big book on taxonomy? As I recall, Microsoft Word allows up to six levels.

Pages 5.1 - Styles bug

Hi everyone,
I was very glad that Apple updated Pages.
But I noticed a strange bug in 5.1 version.
On one of my documents (a big one updated from a previous version of Pages) containing a bunch of styles, does not "wok as it should). Now, whent I scroll the (how do you say in english ?) style menu in the format section (see image) styles becomes blank.
It seems this bug occurs with my Macbook pro retina only (not such problem with my iMac).
Can somebody help ?
When I come back to the menu, styles have reappeared but always the same scroll bug !
Both images befor and after scrolling the menu :
f
Best regards.
And forgive my clumsy english : I am french !

Just to let you know, I have had the same problem since I started using Pages 5.0 on my MacMini.
I reported that bug to Apple through their developer Bug Reporter some time back...
This was my report:
09-Dec-2013 10:33 PM
Summary: When the number of paragraph styles becomes very high, the scrolling paragraph styles pane stops displaying text and becomes unusable.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Pages 5.0 or 5.0.1
2. Go to Format Inspector, Paragraph styles, and access the pop out paragraph styles selection pane.
3. Click on the "+" to add a new style. Repeat this step until the text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears (approximately 23 to 47 times depending on the size of the styles added).
Actual Results: The text in the pop out paragraph styles selection pane disappears, rendering it unusable.
Version: Pages 5.0 and 5.0.1; OS X 10.9 (13A598)
Notes: It seems that triggering the error depends on the graphical height of the pop out paragraph styles selection pane, not the actual number of existing styles.
This was their response:
Apple Developer Relations10-Dec-2013 07:37 PM
Engineering has determined that your bug report is a duplicate of another issue and will be closed.
I guess they have known about the problem for a while then. They must be busy with damage control over all the issues with Pages 5 that are causing greater negative feedback.
The only way I found to work around the bug was eliminating styles from the drawer until the bug goes away. Not a nice fix, but it is one way to be able to continue working with the doc.

Styles bug in Pages 5.0?

I am editing a document created with Pages 09. The doc has probably 40 paragraph styles: certainly more than can be viewed in the new styles dropdown list without scrolling. When I attempt to scroll this dropdown list it "disappears" from the pane. See two screen grabs: #1 taken after clicking the down arrow to open the styles dropdown; #2 taken after trying to scroll down within the dropdown pane. Once I have tried to scroll, there is no way to recover the styles display other than closing the pane by clicking ourside of it.
I don't see a way around this, save reverting to using Pages 09 to edit my document. Any ideas?

Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

TOC freakiness: Loading TOC style from other document reset my par styles [CS4]

I loaded a TOC style into my layout (from a template doc), only to find that all my text formatting had reverted to that used in said other doc.
This even affected styles not used in the TOC, such as body text.
It appears that instead of just loading the TOC style, it is loading (and replacing) paragraph styles as well.
Anyone else have this problem? Looks to me like a bug.

Aaron,
You probably already checked on this but, if some or all of your styles are Based On the paragraph style known as Basic Paragraph, then you could have this unfortunately fatal accident?

LabVIEW XY graph point style bug

I have a XY graph showing two or more signals
I have seleced a circular point for the data poins of the first signal.
When I try and select te same point for the second second, it shows up as at diamond with an open space in the middle.
Bug?
LV 2011
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is the problem:
When access the plot legend and I choose THE SAME point style (First row, third column) for both graphs, why do they then appear differently in both the legends and in the graphs afterwords, just as shown in the picture ???
Simple as that.
I put the graph with data as an attachment so anyone can see if they get the same. LabVIEW 11.

Need to re-tag some Para styles of imported Word docs

I'm hoping someone can help. I have a fairly modest-sized help system that is created from imported Word Docs (Office Word 2003). These documents use conventional paragraph styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).
In my RoboHelp X5 project, I've created a custom CSS file that I apply to the imported Word docs. After importing any of the docs, some of my paragraph styles become misaligned: for example, my Heading 3 paragraphs are flush with the left margin, rather than indented as they should. When I click inside the mis-aligned paragraph, I see that the paragraph is indeed tagged as Heading 3. At fist I thought it might have been my CSS file style definitions, but they appear to be fine. In fact, all I have to do to correct the paragraph alignment is to reassert the tag (ie From the RB Project window, click the para (the fomating combo box reads Heading 3), reselect (reapply) the style (Heading 3), and then select "Reapply formatting of the style to the selection" from the Update/Reapply Style dialog. RH then correctly applies the alignment defined for the style in my CSS. Note, this appears only to be an alignment issue; the fonts and other attributes always seem to work on import. Unfortunately, I have to do this hundreds of times because I seem to have several styles that need retagging after import.
Any ideas? I downloaded a trial copy of RB 8, hoping this was peculiar to X5, but RB8 behaved the same way. If it's any help, I've pasted the HTML coding for a Heading 3 paragraph, 1) just after import 2) the para after Heading 3 style was reasserted. For some reason RH is "margin left" and "text-indent" attributes.
1) Immediately after import
<h3 style=
"margin-left: 40.3pt; text-indent: -40.3pt;">2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">
</span>Using the Stylus</h3>
2) After retagging as heading Heading 3
<h3>
2.2.1<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span>Using the Stylus</h3>
Thanks.....rob

Judging from the excess spacing between the "2.2.1" and the H3 title, I suspect that your Word file has a tab set in there. I believe replacing the tab with one or two spaces should import the file without the indent.
As to the font (span) tagging, are you sure that your Heading 3 style in Word is the original, default Heading 3, and not some re-styled Heading 3 based on Normal or something else, or a "Heading 3 + Font: 7 pt, Times New Roman", which would indicate inline modification of the style rather than a global replacement of settings for the style? I've never seen RH add span tagging unless it encounters non-standard styles in the base document.
Select a test .doc file. Before importing it to RH, try these:
Use Format Painter in Word to manually re-style any non-standard paragraphs.
Do not attach a .css to the Word file, only to the resulting RH topic.
Do you see a difference?
Good luck,
Leon
