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?

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.

PDF Creation: Is it possible to "keep with next"

Hi,
Our web designer is turning html text into a pdf. The one issue we are getting stuck with is page breaks. We have figured out how to manually install page breaks, but is it possible to to insert a "keep with next" command.
The problem we are having is that we have headers and footers on images that we wish to keep with the images when the images break the page. Right now, they often end up on a different page. Is there any way to program these lines to "keep togeather" somehow when the page breaks?
Thanks!

It is in the /iTunes/iTunes media/TV Shows/ folder.
You can only view TV Shows in iTunes so why do you need to "hunt" them anywhere?
If you really need to, you can select the TV Show (or movie or music or podcast, etc.) right click, Show in Finder.

Subtitle - keep with next

Hello,
i have InDesign CS6 8.02 on mac os x 10.6.8
when I export a file to epub happens that some subtitles remain on the bottom of the page and the following text continues on the next page.
in indesign in "keep option" I select the option "keep with next 1 line" but it doesn't work.
Can you tell me is there a way to keep a subtitle with next paragraph in epub?
Thank you in advance

I'd open the epub file and I'd add the CSS rule "page-break-after:avoid;" to the proper class or I'd add it into the CSS aditional declarations at exporting as epub 2.

Em dash keep with next word

PC Vista, InDesignCS5 v7.0.3.
in cs3 text composer, the em dash wanted to go to next line with text, which didn't work so well with english, but with spanish text it worked great (em dash being used as the 'raya')
now, in CS5 the new composer wants to keep em dash at end of line if it can & drop text down to next line...works good for english, not so much for spanish.
So far, the only idea I have is adding a character style 'no-break' too keep these em dashes with their spanish text.
Any other alternative/work around for this will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Joiner? Do you mean non-breaking space? That would make sense. 200D is a zero-width joiner, which doesn't make sense here - it's used in Arabic and other scripts in which characters may or may not be joined (with ligatures) depending on context. I just tested it a bit, and I find that it doesn't do what you expect; it does not act like No Break, or like a non-breaking space, or a non-breaking hyphen.
How about a zero-width nonbreaking space? Oh, never mind, it seems like Indy has reserved that for an index marker, dangit.
How about ugly hacks? Like, say, two non-breaking hyphens kerned together to make 'em look like a single en dash? You could do it with a GREP style.

Equivalent to Word's "Keep With Next" function?

I am writing a technical manual, and have a fairly long document with a bunch of tier-numbered steps. I am in the process of inserting the screen captures into the document, and I cannot figure out how to keep the correct numbered step with the image. I am cutting and pasting the images out of a Word document into Pages, then selecting the image, going to the Object Placement inspector and selecting the next-to-last icon under "Object Causes Wrap," which centers my image. However, I don't want any images to be at the top of a page; I always want the referring paragraph to appear just above the image.
I've tried inserting a page break before the appropriate numbered step, but Pages inserts a new, blank numbered step before the page break (i.e., the last item on the previous page is a blank, numbered step).
What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Andy,
You're very close to a solution. Set the text insertion cursor on the line with the numbered blank and in the Text Inspector, List Tab, set Bullets and Numbering to "No Bullets". That should do it from where you are now.

(new to scripting) Only allow certain paragraph styles to break to next column/page

Hi all,
As stated, I'm very new to scripting. I've done a few small scripts to automate Photoshop tasks and such. I'm in the process of trying to learn Javascript as much as possible, with the hope of bringing about more efficiency for our small production department. It's a daunting task, but I'm trying my darnedest.
One of the number one goals I have is the find a way to automate pagination of weekly transaction records. These records run between 32 to 48 pages normally, with each page having 5 columns. Creation of these pages is very systematic, so it would seem that this process should be able to be automated, but there are some challenges I'm having a hard time thinking about how to attack.
One of the key tasks needing to be figured out is getting the records to go in with headings and subheadings always starting at the top of a page/column. Just about all the copy comes in with predetermined paragraph styles, so a script should easily be able to search for instances of each style. What needs to eb accomplished is only allowing the flow of copy to break on certain styles and not others ... (counties, towns, etc.)
For example: if you have the following ...
Countyland <styled "county">
Utopiatown <styled "town">
46 Appletree Lane ...... $500,000 <styled "listing">
Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
Bought by: Other Guy <styled "listing">
Mortgage: This Bank <styled "listing">
Date: 12/14/11 <styled "listing">
Dystopia Village <styled "town">
47 Orangeplant Road ...... $400,000 <styled "listing">
Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
Bought by: Other Guy <styled "listing">
Mortgage: This Bank <styled "listing">
Date: 12/14/11 <styled "listing">
If the two records above were to fall near the end of a column, the break to the next column should NOT occur anywhere except:
- Before the county (causing the county to start at the top of the next column
- Before the second town (Dystopia Village, forcing that town to the top of the next column)
- After both (forcing whatever town/county is next to goto the top of the next column)
So basically, I need to find a way PREVENT column breaks where they should not occur. Inserting column breaks is one thing (I know how to do that). Prevention is the issue though that confounds me.
Does anyone have any thoughts of how to achieve such a thing? I know there are "non-breaking space" characters ... is there, or could there be, some kind of a "non-breaking return" character? Or would it be more feasible to test for the paragraph style at the bottoms of columns and insert column breaks in once it finds an appropriate match?
Am I going about this all wrong?
Again, any help or suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks much.

FYI .. using InDesign cs5.5

I am now wondering about a possible solution. It would be one hell of a challenge for me to figure out how to code it, but I at least need to figure out the theory first, then I'll try to figure out how to code it.
Again, the issue at hand is preventing column breaks for the "listing" style in the following example. Please note, the number of "listing" lines varies. If the following two entries (in a long list of similar entries) were to be near the end of a column, I'm trying to cause the flow of text to break only before a county style, or a town style (if it's not the first town in the county). Basically, no breaks in the middle of listings.
Countyland <styled "county">
Utopiatown <styled "town">
46 Appletree Lane ...... $500,000 <styled "listing">
Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
Bought by: Other Guy <styled "listing">
Mortgage: This Bank <styled "listing">
Date: 12/14/11 <styled "listing">
Dystopia Village <styled "town">
47 Orangeplant Road ...... $400,000 <styled "listing">
Sold by: Some Guy   <styled "listing">
Bought by: Other Guy <styled "listing">
Mortgage: This Bank <styled "listing">
Date: 12/14/11 <styled "listing">
Naomi previously suggested messing with the "keep options" in the styles. This will solve the issue of preventing breaks before listing details start. But it won't help in keeping listing details from breaking, since the number of lines can vary.
I'm now thinking ... might it be possible to have a script search all copy, looking for the last line of listings, and then apply a second listing style with a different keep option setting? The "normal listing" style would "keep next 1 line". The "last listing" style would not, therefore, allowing a break.
Here's a map of what I'm thinking: (bear with me on the terrible syntax, this is just for illustrative purposes)
listingNormal has keep with next 1 line applied
listingBreak does not keep with next line
if currentLineStyle == listingNormal
AND
style of next line != listingNormal {
currentLineStyle = listingBreak
Does this make sense? If so, does this sound feasible?
Thanks any and all.

Is there a Non Break space or Keep with?

Is there a "Non Break space" or "Keep with next word"?
In a data merge scenario some records need to stay together such as <<Year>>.<<Make>> and Vin <<VIN>>
Is there a character to keep these together?
ID CS5.5

You could make the spaces between them non-breaking, (rt-click > Insert White Space > Non-Breaking Space), or apply a no-break Character Style to the fields and the spaces between them.

Partial goods receipt for PO with multiple line items

Hello All,
While doing MIGO, for a PO with multiple line items, if one line item is having error, will we be able to go ahead with goods receipt? Or entire material document is blocked for doing MIGO?
We will be doing a development - in case if there is problem in goods receipt (checking of any parameter, and if it is missing - we will be posting error message)...is it possible to ahead with next line item and still post the material document?
If partial goods receipt if possible for PO with multiple line items, how do we do it?
Regards,
RJS

Hi
While doing MIGO, for a PO with multiple line items, if one line item is having error, will we be able to go ahead with goods receipt? Or entire material document is blocked for doing MIGO?
No. You cannot post the MIGO, if even one of the PO line item is having problem or giving error.
We will be doing a development - in case if there is problem in goods receipt (checking of any parameter, and if it is missing - we will be posting error message)...is it possible to ahead with next line item and still post the material document?
If you skip a line irem and do GR with next line item, how will you match quantity & value with the vendor Invoice at LIV ?
If partial goods receipt if possible for PO with multiple line items, how do we do it?
Partial goods receipt is possible for PO line items. That means, if PO has 100 qty for line item 1 then you can do GR for 50 now and 50 later depending on the vendors delivery.
Hope this is what you mean by "Partial Goods Receipt".

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

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.
