New styles on InDesign CS4

We were unable to identify the new styles in InDesign CS4. These styles were clearly identify in CS2/CS3 since it occurs a missing font and appears pink background.
InDesign CS4 does not show the new style with the pink background. Please help me anyone how to identify the new style.

You must be mixing up your terms; "styles" are ways to define what happens to text, but the pink highlighting appears on
any text for which the font is missing. If you have these settings, then any missing font will be highlighted pink.

Managing Styles in InDesign CS4 Books

Hello,
I am trying to tackle the task of managing about a dozen separate marketing documents as an InDesign CS4 book. One of the most frequent problems I run into is diverging styles (e.g. font family and size) inside the individual files.
Now, I understand that CS4 books should synchronise lots of characteristics from the "format base document" and, as I interpret it, also styles and their definition. For some reasons that does not seem to work here.
Specifically, I am frequently encountering problems with missing font files (which is correct, I just thought I could re-synchronise the files in the book with the modified styles from the format base and I'd be done?) and styles that have changed. Pressing the "synchronise book" button does not seem to do the trick.
Does anyone have experience with dealing with this issue?
Thanks for your help.

As it happens, managing styles has just been discussed on InDesignSecrets: http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-synchronzine-a-book-with-renamed-styles.php

How to find different styles from Indesign CS4 Grap style?*

Hi,
I would like to know how to find two different character style from a single grap command in Indesign CS4.
For instance, A word having bold/italic character style following with punctuation having normal/none character style.
Thanks for your help!

Bharat

With GREP styles you can search text only, not formatting.

Add a line as part of a character style in InDesign CS4

Hi all,
I'm new in InDesign and am in the process to design a 4 pages newsletter for the internal IT dept. of my company.
Each page (A4) has 2 columns and will contain one or more articles.
I'd like to create a character style to format the title of each article so it would stand out and include a line underneath the text.
I had a look at in the underlining options and nearly found what I needed except that I'd like the line to be the same length as the column width and not the same lenght of the text it underlines. So I managed to achieve what I wanted by drawing a line; but is there a way to include that line as part of my "article header" style so I don't have to draw it each time?
Or maybe there's an option to make the underline longer than the text, but I didn't find it.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys and thanks for your super fast answer.
I'm in ID now and there's no such option in the Paragraph style panel.
Basically the underlining options in the Paragraph Style window are +/- the same as for the Character Style one.
Options available are:
tick box to activate option
weight
offset (moves the lines up and down to the text, but doesn't increase the lenght of the underline)
colour
type
The options, tint, overprint stroke, gap colour, gap tint and overprint gap are greyed out for me.
This is what I want to get. The first line is with the underline option on (line is same lenght as the text)
Second one is with a line drawn as grahical object.
So question is: how can i include a line like in the second example in a style so I don't have to draw it each time?

Gylphs and paragraph styles in InDesign CS4

When I insert a character from the glyph palette, it doesn't retain the paragraph style. For example, I'm using Minion Pro and inserting the fraction for one half. The fraction inserts, but then the paragraph style has a plus sign which indicates a change to the paragraph style. What's causing this?

Well I tested it myself before posting. The Glyph from the Glyphs panel is using a different style set than that in ther paragraph style.
You can see this yourself if you make a Fraction with fractions turned on and also insert a glyph.
Use File>Export and choose InDesign Tagged Text. Open the Tagged Text file in notepad or similar and search for "fraction" and you'll see that the style sets are different.
When I tested it in InDesign the Paragraph override didn't come on when I unchecked the style sets in the Paragraph Style.

Indesign CS4 Export PDF Crash/Quits

Hi all,
I am part of a small company, we recently bought CS3 Design Standard for 3 new G5 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz iMacs, all have 2GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, but sadly Illustrator and Indesign just kept quitting, so we were forced to updrade to CS4, a cost we could have done with out, but the problem persists. We Then upgraded our Suitcase to Fusion 2, as Fusion 1's auto activate doesnt work with CS4.
Every time we try to export artwork from Indesign to a pdf format Indesign either hangs or just quits, i have had this happen well over 20 times in 1 day, we really like the style of Indesign CS4 and hope someone, anyone, can help us out.
On a different note, none of the computers can access the Adobe website, the firewalls and routers/modem dont have any sites blocked yet www.adobe.com is the only one we can not access, any ideas??
Thanks for your time.

Paragraph styles dialogue is empty. I'm unable to load or create new styles and have them show up.

I've used paragraph styles in Indesign CS4 since 2009 and yesterday (6-10-14) I noticed the paragraph styles dialogue was empty. I figured somehow I must have accidentally deleted or cleared them. I then proceeded to attempt loading them from another document. After "Loading Paragraph Styles..." via the drop-down in the upper right corner of the dialogue box nothing showed up.
I then proceeded to create a new style it to never appeared in the list—it remains empty.
Any ideas?

Problems with Russian, Ukrainian etc. characters in Polish InDesign CS4

Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of InDesign CS4 (Polish version). Mostly i'm using Garamond Pro for setting text -- there is no Russian characters. Who know which one font has Russian, Ukrinian, Bulgarian Oldslavic etc. characters?
thanks in advance!
Maks

If you're using Windows, there is an incredibly useful utility Babelmap that has the tool you need: "List all the fonts installed on my system that support the text I have on my clipboard". I used to use it all the time.
I very much doubt that you have many fonts already installed on your system that support Old Slavic, unless you've installed them yourself. Bulgarian coverage is better, but still not common. If you'd like I can post some links to the pages where links to the type foundries working in these scripts are often posted. If you're not already familiar with it, Paratype is probably going to be your first stop.

Why is there no info in my Style Panels in InDesign CS4?

Adobe CS4 on the Mac (OS 10.6.6)
There is NO INFORMATION at all in my Paragraph and Character Styles panels. No icons, no styles, no little garbage can, no default styles. Cannot load any styles. When I use the arrows at the right of the panel to create a new style or load one, nothing appears.
The Paragraph and Character panels work fine.

New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
"Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

mmsteer,
I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

I keep getting Error 150:30 after setting up my new MacBookPro and restoring from backup. When I open InDesign (CS4) it says Licensing for product has stopped working. PLEASE HELP!

Hi there,
I'd try a fresh install. You can download the installer here: Download CS4 products
Please make sure you are signed in with Adobe ID first.
Here's more info on the error code: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS

Indesign CS4 won't open or create new files. Why???

I'm using Indesign CS4 and all of a sudden it won't open old files or creat new ones. I've restarted
my machine and program and it still won't do anything. Any ideas?

What sort of recent changes have you made on the system?
What happens when you try to open files or create new ones? What OS? IS ID patched to 6.0.6?
Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
