Image in paragraph style?

I use CS3 - Windows XP
Hello
I am publishing a photobook in several languages, and before I start description of each photograph I need to put in the flag of the corresponding language. Kind of like a drop cap.
I was wondering if there is some way to automate this process using styles, because at the moment I am just putting a tiny graphics frame with the flag image (GIF) in front of the corresponding text, making the text flow around it , which is quite tedious work (there is like 200+ photos and it seems like there will be 8 languages)
I was wondering if it is possible to place an image into a paragraph style in some way, or incorporate the image as a bullet, or something like that.
Thank you

you can add some "tag" as flag description in text:
[DE] hdf shkdjhfkjhskdjh fk skdhfk
[BG] khsd kjfhkds f ds
[PL] kjdh kajs hk ask dkas
next you can use script to replace these "tags" with images
or you can use Find/Replace and search for "[DE]" and replace with clipboard "~C" (of course without ")

  • Using custom bullet images in paragraph styles

    R8 HTML.
    Hello all,
    Bit of an edit to this one.
    I've got several sections of text through my doc, Tips and Notes, currently this text is just highlighted and box bound. But I instead want it to have a custom bullet image, like a ! or something similar. I've found the images I want to use in the 'Bullet and Numbering..' menu of RH, but using these to create a style creates a new list style, I instead want to edit my existing Note and Tip styles so the image is used, otherwise I have to re-apply the list style all over the doc in place of the Tip and Note styles I have now. Would be very nice if I didnt have to do this.
    Hope someone can help.
    Cheers.

    Hi Nick
    Coming in a bit late on this.
    I just successfully changed to picture bullets by performing the following actions.
    Added the image I wanted to use for the bullet as a Baggage file.
    Edited the Lists item in the Style Sheet editor so that lists were presented in an unusual font. (did this so I could easily locate the appropriate CSS section when editing later)
    *NOTE: I'm unsure why Lists is listed as a separate entry of its own, but I used the Lists found within the Other category.
    Now hand edit the CSS using Windows Notepad. Certainly you may view the files in Windows Explorer and right-click to edit, but I much prefer to launch the CSS in Notepad right from RoboHelp HTML. To do that, you click Tools > Options > Associations tab. Then associate Notepad with CSS files. This allows you to right-click the CSS in the RoboHelp HTML Explorer and choose View. The CSS should then display in Notepad.
    Okay, once that was done I edited Notepad and saw that my lists item looked as below:
    I amended it to add the reference to the image as shown below:
    Seems a lot has been tried and nothing seems to work for you. I'm hopeful this will either help you solve it or spark a thought that will.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Add an Image in Paragraph style

    Hi all,
    I've a big problem without answer yet:
    I need to add an Image (linked file) as drop cap of a paragraph, or in alternative and maybe more easy, use that linked file as point of a list.
    I've see that i can customize dots of list, but u can use only Gliphs of fonts, insteand i want use a little linked file.
    For example i need something like that:
       Any text any text any text any text
           any text any text any text any text
       Any text any text any text any text
           any text any text any text any text
    I need that if i set the paragraph on "Any text", the linked image must be placed.
    There is a way in InDesign CS5 to make something like that?
    Sorry for my bad english, if u need some explain tell me.
    Thanks to all

    Hi Peter,
    So thx for your answer, it'll be so usefull.
    I think i'll make some experiment with GREP-Find, it's look so usefull too.

  • I copy text, paragraph styles, character styles & images from 1 document to another only text copies

    I have a few documents that have text and images that is frequently repeated through many chapters of an In Design book. (Printing, exporting etc.) I used to select all in the source document, Command + C to copy it, change to the target document, Command + V to paste it. It worked well for six months.
    About two weeks ago it stopped working (shortly after an update to In Design). I have text, paragraph styles, chacter styles and images in each document. Only the plain text copies over. This is the same for any document.
    I haven't changed Preferences in six months.
    I'm on a Mac 10.8.2, In Design CS6 version 8.0.1.
    It's driving me crazy! It's a lot of work to reformat each 2  to 10 pages after copying it in.

  • [Basic Paragraph] style behaviour upon copy/paste

    Hi,
    we just get started changing from Quark to InDesign, and our lead layout-producer is not so crazy about style sheets, so everything she creates is using the [Basic Paragraph] Style.
    A by her created libary now contains groups of text objects in Basic Paragraph with format changes +
    When I use these groups, or copy and paste from another document, why does InDesign keep the changes like fontsize or -color, but does change the font?
    My basic paragraph does use another font, so its quite annoying INDD keep the changes, but keep change the font.
    What can I do to prevent INDD from changing the font?

    So, i made this beauuutiful thingy for a test. It looks disgusting, i know. The point is that it uses 4 fonts and different modifications.
    If I get you right, to prepare a "good" document, our layout-producer should clogg our documents with different paragraph-styles not to use the Basic? Sure, she can convert it into paths, but different collegues have to translate this stuff later so that isnt an option.
    Maybe she can "design" things like that in Illu, giving us an AI to use.
    I made an irritating discovery:
    As I built this thing with Futura as my Basicparagraph-font, i dragged it into a libary, closed every doc to change my default-paragraph-style to another font to see what happens. I set up a empty doc and dragged it back in again – no changes at all. I was surprised. Its in the basic, it has a +, and if i click on basic it changes to GillSans, if i alt+click the modifications (like the colors) turn to black… – this is what i was looking for :-)
    But why with my other test-object. Im nearly in closing time here, so i will upload an image tomorrow, but the only variable that haved changed to my second try minutes ago:
    – the objects were converted using Q2ID (Markzware)
    – the group just contained one (but another) font
    Maybe theres the problem somewhere.

  • How to change the paragraph style of every paragraph that only contains an anchored object?

    Hi,
    I have a document in word that needs to be converted into indesign. The document containts instructions, each step followed by an image.
    I've managed to import the document into Indesign, and applied a paragraph style with numbering to everything (text an image).
    Now, how to change the the paragraph style of every paragraph that only contains a image? I need to get rid of the numbering.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create two Paragraph Styles and name them Image and Non-Image. Apply the paragraph styles manually to the text containing image and not containing images.

  • Slices & Extract Assets, or Copy CSS & paragraph styles for retina web designs?

    I'm trying to figure out how Adobe wants me to work in Photoshop when producing website designs.
    Extract Assets is useful for fixed-size objects to produce 50% & 100% assets. 200% png output results in anti-aliasing even from vector shapes. Please correct me if I'm wrong but this seemed to be the case. Slicing is useful for elements on the site that may have variable height/width needing end-caps and repeat-x or repeat-y images e.g. buttons and nav-bars.
    If I need to work at 2x resolution for retina, using Extract Assets and Slices, my paragraph and character styles dimensions are doubled, as are the dimensions of all my objects. This makes the Copy CSS a bit pointless - double height, width, margin, padding, shadow blur etc.
    Should I be designing at 2x resolution and extracting and slicing, or at 1x and using Copy CSS, exporting paragraphing styles? Or something in-between?

    Hi Ben, I ammended this line of code as you have shown and still I have no joy. So I reverted to an older version which was correct, but i am stil having the same issue.
    I have a my_site folder (defined local root folder), with the index.dwt in it. In my_site there is also an assets folder with 3 further folders, CSS, JS and Images and their respective files in these.
    Bregent. Thanks, I did define at set up. I went back to manage sites and checked there too and thr root file on the local is the same at set up. I just don't get why after I made changes to the carousel and and reiploaded the site I have had issues :-(
    Any other places I should be looking people? This is driving me crackers!

  • Is there a script to change paragraph style based on even/odd page

    Is there a script or way to have paragraph style change between 2 styles based on the text being on an even or odd page? 

    @JustMikey – as I understand your task, the problem has nothing to do with "special" paragraph styles, but (nearly) all with anchored objects (the images and parts of the gray bar) and appropriate margin settings.
    Just see the following IDML file I exported from InDesign CS5.5:
    Dropbox - ImagesAwayFromSpine-CS5.5.zip
    ImagesAwayFromSpine-CS5.5.zip
         ImagesAwayFromSpine-CS5.5.idml
         080731_Manchester-xxl_Grau.tif
    Of course you could add paragraph styles to format the data automatically or optimize in other ways.
    That's up to you. But you can see the principle:
    Inspect the Anchored Object Options for the image and the gray bar. Also the frame fitting options for the image.
    Note: See also the margin settings, that are not exactly mirrored on even and odd pages (for good reason).

  • 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.

  • Exporting Paragraph Styles as CSS in AICS5

    Why can't paragraph style be exported in CSS3, but character styles can?

    Fireworks does not allow multi-page CSS export, the thought
    being (I
    believe) that you would create the design for your main page,
    export it
    as CSS and images, edit CSS and HTML as needed in DW (and it
    will be
    needed) and then generate your site within DW or your
    preferred web
    design application.

  • How do I prevent unwanted paragraph style overrides when exporting an epub

    I am having trouble controlling the size of a  logo in an e-pub. Actually, it's only a problem with Amazon's Kindle which seems to insist on enlarging the image to the full screen width. So, I need a robust command in my CSS to override Kindle's preference. Seems easy. I placed the logo into my In Design layout in a picture box with the object style "frontmatterlogo" which should export into a div of the same name. Which it does. So far so good. However, In Design insists on creating a paragraph style override (see bold in the code below) which disregards the  frontmatterlogo settings I've written in to my CSS in favour of it's own image settings which correspond to the size of the placed image. Currently, I've just put together a hacked solution by writing a class for para-style-override into my CSS. It's an inelegant solution but seems to work for all the other e-readers. But, as mentioned, it doesn't work on the Kindle.
    Anyone have any idea what is causing these overrides and how I might prevent them so my div class can take over?

    Thanks for getting back so quickly, Bob.
    I'm using Version 5.5. I have basically the same problem when the object is anchored. In the case below, I created a new paragraph style for the line on which the logo would be anchored, also mapping to the frontmatterlogo entry in my CSS. This time, no paragraph-style-override is added but In Design still adds it's own image dimensions corresponding to the size at which the image was placed in the layout. This overrides the settings in my CSS and, I suspect, might be what's allowing the Kindle settings to take over as well. I had kind of resigned myself to fixing this in the code  on a book by book basis, which is fine if the only images the book contains is a cover and a title page logo. But I'm worried about what happens when I have to create an e-pub from a photo-heavy book. You can see how it would be ideal to create a few specific object styles for different image situations in In Design and have them map them to specific div styles in my CSS. Basically it's a workflow issue. This would minimize the amount of after-the-fact coding our already swamped designers would have to do.
    It's so obvious in the code where the problem lies, and so I just have a feeling that there may be a simple fix. If only I knew why In Design felt obliged to specify the image size.

  • Paragraph Styles going crazy

    Hi guys,
    Maybe this has an easy solution but all of the sudden my paragraph styles went nuts. I do apply Headline Style like the upper text which says "El Pase" and it transforms into the text below in pink warning letters.
    It says i do not have the font Mercury Text G1 Semibold SC BOLD which is not true. Besides the headlines is not in that font.
    Here is the Paragraph Style which is not based in ANY prior style. In the second image you can see the font is not Caps at all.
    I checked and re-checked for some errors but i cannot find the source of the problem. By the way, i don't know if that maybe related in some way or not but i did apply in another text frame -not this one- the script to Preserve Formatting.
    By the way, i did open a new document, Loaded the Paragraph Styles and they do work fine. Maybe the original document is corrupt. I can star over in a new doc but it way time consuming.
    I have InDesign CS4, on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for any help or idea.
    Sebs

    Check if the pink text has a character style applied that sets a non-compatible font style for that font. For example, if you have a "bold" character style that only applies "Bold" and you used it to make a Univers 55 Roman text bold, it won't work -- there is no "Univers Bold" (it's called "Univers 65 Bold", and the font style is named "65 Bold").
    It's possible you placed the text or copied it from somewhere into the frame while you had a random character style selected in the Character Styles panel. That would get applied by default, as all defaults do in InDesign.

  • Applying paragraph styles to placed text

    I have a catalog document built  with with master pages and paragraph styles. The layout has a grid of  image boxes for product with a text box beneath for descriptions. The  text boxes should have style 1 applied to the 1st line, and style 2  applied to the following lines. Style 1 is applied to the text boxes in  the master, and has next style set to style 2 in the paragraph style  settings. This works fine when typing directly in the document, but I am  placing the text from a word document. When I place the text, InDesign  is just applying the default text settings instead of the correct  styles. Is there a way to get it to automatially apply the correct  styles, or will I need to manually set the styles?
    Using CS5
    thanks,
    Katie

    Part of your answer is very easy: after you've placed your text, select a few paragraphs, and then right-click on "style 1" and select "Apply Style, Then Next Style." That's how to use "Next Style" on text that you've placed.
    The other part of your question -
    When I place the text, InDesign  is just applying the default text settings instead of the correct  styles. Is there a way to get it to automatially apply the correct  styles, or will I need to manually set the styles?
    is a fair bit more complicated. If you're placing Word files, and all of the text in Word is styled with "Normal," then you'd probably need to manually set styles. If the text is in Word, but is styled carefully, then you can click the "Import Options" checkbox upon placing, and you can do all kinds of things to the file, including stripping all Word formatting & mapping Word styles to InDesign styles. If you have text in some other format, it may be possible to automate styling, but it depends completely on what you have to place. Raw text with XML tags? CSV files? RTFs generated by a translation memory tool? If you can post example files or screenshots, we may be able to figure out a way to smooth out this part of your workflow, depending on the materials with which you're working.

  • Paragraph style - next style

    Hi!
    I have a question about paragraph-styles.
    For designing a book I receive a lot of unformatted text from different people. Now, of cause I need styles for different cases. One of those is a question-answer-style (interview -> see image below). You normaly can create a paragraph-style with the option to have, after pushing RETURN, another style (I think in english it has to be „use next style“). Okay, my problem is it works ONLY when I start typing the text word by word in Indesign an push RETURN and going on typing... That´s not what I want. My idea was, to copy an paste the whole text from Word (or from wherever) to Indesign and give´em the style it needs.
    Doesn´t it work somehow? With „nested styles“ it works neither. You can only make a „soft break“ to use next style. So I must insert it one by one after each paragraph. Not so ...
    Nochmal auf Deutsch, falls es missverständlich war:
    Also, ich möchte ein Absatzformat erstellen für ein Interview. Da ich die Texte alle nicht selber schreibe ,sondern lediglich fertig geschrieben erhalte und dann am Stück einfüge, würde es Sinn machen, eine Formatvorlage zu erstellen, welche mir bestimmte Schritte automatisch abnimmt. Es gibt diese praktische Einstellung unter "Absatzformatoptionen" -> "Formatvorlagen" -> "Nächstes Format". Das scheint aber nur zu funktionieren, wenn man den Text buchstabenweise in das vorformatierte Feld eintippt. Dann erst bekommt der Absatz nach jedem Umbruch das ausgewählte Format. Wenn ich das aber bei einem komplett eingefügten Text probiere (nach der Frage "Eingabe" drücken), pasiert nichts. Wieso? Wie kann man das hinbekommen, evtl. alternativ?

    Ok, I understand both, German and English.
    Ok, ich versteh’ beides, deutsch und englisch.
    When you select several paragraphs you can go to first paraagraph style in the pargraph style panel and choose with the right mouse click in the context menu:
    You can apply:
    This selected style
    This selected style and delete Overrides and/or Character Styles
    This style then next style
    This style then next style and delete Overrides and/or Character Styles
    Wenn Du mehrere Absätze ausgewählt hast, kannst Du im Absatzformatbedienfeld mit der rechten Maustaste das Absatzformat für den ersten Absatz auswählen und mit der rechten Maustauste aus dem Kontextmenü aus den verschiedenen Varianten wählen. Siehe oben in der Abbildung.
    Die Menüvarianten mit nächsten Absatz und Zeichenformate und Überschreibungen (nicht in der Abbildung) sind nur dann im Menü vefügbar, wenn das Absatzformat erstens einen entsprechenden Nächsten Absatz definiert hat bzw. Vorkommnisse von Zeichenformaten und/oder Überschreibungen vorkommen.
    PS. Es existiert auch ein deutsches Adobe U2U-Forum.
    Addition / Ergänzung:
    If the text is in only one frame or in only one cell of a table there exists as well the function next paragraph style. When you apply such an objects style to a text frame or to a cell of a table all text is formated according the first paragraph style choosen in the object style or cell style and the following paragraphs are styled as defined in next paragraph,
    Wenn der Text nur in einem Textrahmen oder innerhalb einer Zelle einer Tabelle ist, dann besteht die Möglichkeit, dass im Objekt- bzw. Zellenformat unter Absatzformat erstens dieses aktiviert wird und zweitens, das nächste Absatzformat aktiviert wird. Dadurch werden bei Anwendung des Objekt- bzw. Zellformats der erste Absatz und die darauffolgenden entsprechen mit den definierten Absatzformaten und nächsten Absatzformaten formatiert.

  • KeepWithNext paragraph style

    Hi,
    I found instructions for creating a style in RoboHelp that allows me to tag text in RoboHelp and map that to a style in my template that places a page break before the tagged text. These page breaks translate into the printed document. Based off of these instructions, I also created a style called KeepWithNext. My goal in doing this was to ensure screenshots are not separated by a page break from the preceeding numbered steps they illustrate. I created the style in my template, and from the paragraph tab clicked the Keep with next check box to the style. However,this doesn't work predictably. I was able to get it to work; I know this because as I was testing, I discovered that I had created a huge block of text and images that could not be broken. One of the outputs I created streatched into the headers and footers of my printed output. I went back in and tried to separate my keep with next blocks from each other by a carriage return to which I applied the Normal style. I made sure that my numbered text still listed KeepWithNext as the applied style. This seems to have undone any good I did. Now I have images separated from the numbered text they're supposed to illustrate. It's odd to have an image appear at the top of a page, sometimes a turn away from the numbered step. Is there a way to tag an image in RoboHelp to ensure it stays on the same page as the text it illustrates?
    Louley

    Hello Louley,
    In case it's any help, I created a Macro in Word which applies the keep-with-next paragraph setting. Then I created a shortcut Alt+K (which isn't used for anything else that I can see, and the K reminds me that it's for Keep-with-next).
    In use, I click on the image or paragraph that I want to keep-with-next, and hit Alt+K. Quick and easy. I've used this for about 12 years.
    If I want to keep an image with the previous paragraph, I created another macro that searches for the next image, then it goes up a line to the previous paragraph, and then applies the keep-with-next rule.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Best regards, and Happy Christmas!
    Philip
