Override Character and Paragraph Style

I have a character style: "K: text: roman tight" the color of the style is PANTONE 222 C.
I need to be able to change the color of to PANTONE Warm Gray 11 C and revert back as necessary.
Essentially the color is being used as a highlighting feature.
Any ideas?

Hi,
My idea:
Define 2 charStyles with proper fillCollor settings. Assign keyboard shortcuts to them.
(i.e. Num 0/Shift-Num 0)
use those shortcuts as a switcher.

  • Apply character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's in Mail ?

    Is it possible to:
    apply character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's in Mail ?
    ALSO:
    I would like to change things like-
    change the color of the default yellow notebook like ruled paper?
    apple character or paragraph styles to notes and to do's?
    Main calender for item related Dates
    The red icon next to the to-do items
    number of columns
    Hold/Insert/Link/Attach additional relevant files?
    Similair to other third party project organizational software such as OmniPlan / Schoolhouse/ KIT (Keep it Together)
    I was also thinking the ability to apply my mail rules to them would further their efficiency. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    In the preferences menu, under "composing" There is an option for "Create Notes & To Do's in:" With the options being "On My Mac" and "[email protected]".
    I did not have this set properly, and changing it meant that selecting text in a note and making a to do gave me the option of putting it in my local calendars.
    However, when I select text from an e-mail it still puts it in my "[email protected]" calendar.
    Partial fix --> Still not exactly what I want to see.

  • Improve the implementation of graphic and paragraph styles

    The implementation of Graphic and Paragraph Styles should be more consistent:
    You can currently edit the attributes of paragraph styles (e.g., point size) but not of graphic styles (outer glow). With graphic styles, you have to overwrite the existing style rather than edit it.
    Graphic Styles have the concept of "breaking the link" whereas Paragraph Styles don't.
    Add the ability to select objects based on a paragraph style (yes, you can select based on Attribute, but not all objects with a specific paragraph style).
    Combine graphic and paragraph styles. For example, I want a style with a 12 pt font and an outer glow.

    Same thing happening here.
    You can though first create some type with a 12 point stroke , then define a new paragraph style, and even though it says 10pt will apply 12pt.
    If you have not looked into graphic styles, that might be a better option for stokes. You can
    Move the fill on top of the stroke (allows you to use a different color for stroke, so the orignal sahep of type doe not get squeezed)
    Use multiple strokes aroudn type
    Set the corner options to round
    For appearance & graphic style, the secret to type is to first set your type fill and stroke to none (this removes the stylization at the character level), then apply strokes and fills in the appearance palette at the type level only. This way the stylization won't fight with each other.

  • Tagging character styles and paragraph styles in inDesign

    I'm working on a complex book in which everything on the pages is styled.
    I've been asked to tag the vocabulary terms in the text, so that the correct page number shows up in the index.
    I've been asked to tag the folios as well, for the table of contents.
    The folios are a paragraph style.
    The vocabulary terms are styled with a character style.
    How do I do this?
    Any help much appreciated.

    InDesign's built-in Table of Contents function picks up text based on paragraph styles. I'm not sure you really men, though, that you want to pick up the folios, if you are using the term as I understand it, to mean the page numbers. You really want to pick up the various headings used to identify the topics or titles. ID will supply the page numbers.
    As for the indexing, there may be a script that can find text with a particular character style assigned and add it to an index (you should ask over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting) but you should also read the Help on Indexes and learn more about how they operate.

  • 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.

  • How to insert a character and paragraph break at the beginning of a paragraph using Grep

    Dear Community!
    I am stucked...
    I have several books in indesign, which I want to export into epub. I have a standardized procedure, to be able to assign the task to students.
    My problem i I have a paragraph style 'heading2' and I would like to insert a paragraph break before which is styled 'new page'.
    Here is the theory I have thought about:
    -with find and change find the style 'heading2'
    -insert a special character + paragraph break before the first character of the paragraph
    -with a second find and change find the special character
    -replace with nothing and style with 'new page'
    My question is how to insert with grep (?) before the first character anything.
    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance

    Look in the flyout panel of your Paragraph panel.
    (Or in the Online Help -- a resource a lot of people seem to overlook... It's even *called* "Keep Options". ...

  • Applescript/Pages and adjusting column width (and paragraph style)

    I was hoping that some someone might know how to adjust the width of individual columns in Pages using Applescript. It seems like it should be a simple task, and I can adjust the overall width/height of the table, but I haven't found a way to adjust the column width. Alternatively, I could have the program create the table in Numbers and copy/paste it into Pages, but I'd imagine that would get a bit messy and wouldn't allow me to use a hanging indent in the cells (to the best of my knowledge).
    Also, is there a way to adjust the paragraph style used by the text in the table? Otherwise, I could just use a templet and define the the default table style appropriately. (Though not the most elegant solution).
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    (In case it helps, the script I'm working on parses an unformatted inventory and parses it into paragraphs/tables.)

  • Add / Save paragraph and characters styles in PDF

    Hi all,
    We recently did some tests with PDF to ePub export (different settings, different tools). What we saw is that none of the tools were able to respect paragraph and text styles. They just threw some text back to the screen (ePub Reader). This brought us to the philosophical discussion whether it is possible to export / add character and paragraph style information in a PDF, as we know it from e.g. Adobe InDesign (via the content stream, through metadata) so "a" tool can access that information to use it for exporting (properly) to ePub or another file format. So is there a PDF-standard or 'variant' (PDF/X, PDF/VT, PDF/A, ISO 32000 as such) that would make such a construction possible? And if so, would 'a' tool (e.g. PDF to ePub conversion tool) be able access that information to translate the style info etc. to another file format (e.g. a proper e-Pub file). BTW: we tried 'Create tagged PDF' out of Adobe InDesign, but that didn't help the outcome very much.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, it is quite possible and in fact Adobe InDesign will/can produced Tagged PDF that incorporates this information.
    Of course, that means that tools needs to respect it when they read/convert the PDF.  to my knowledge, NONE of the 3rd party PDF conversion tools support PDF tags/structure ☹.

  • Why does 'Copy Character/Paragraph Style' work so inconsistently?

    Is it just me, or do the 'Copy Character Style' and 'Copy Paragraph Style' format options barely ever work? Most of the time, I can't even USE the bloody CCS feature...it's greyed out. This occurs (for me at least) in both Pages version 1.0.2 and Pages '08. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Jordan,
    There are a couple of Help Pages that may shed some light on your situation. They are: _Changing the Style of Text_ and _Copying and Pasting Character and Paragraph Styles_. As I often do after reading a post like yours, I tried to duplicate the situation. Before studying the help references, I would have had the same complaint that you do. I was only successful in getting the Copy Style and Paste Style Tools to work after I applied Styles to some text in my document. It seems that one may only copy a style from a block of text that has had a style applied, and so-called "overrides" won't be copied. So, it's not a "Format Painter" in the MS tradition, as it only looks at what Style has been applied, not how the formatting may have been altered.
    Hope this helps.

  • E-pub character/paragraph style exports

    Just getting into this e-pub thing. I've watched a few tutorials, but I'm still working with CS5 for the time being. I know that in order for formatting to transfer to the e-pub file on export, one has to make sure that all content is formatted using character or paragraph styles, which I have done. However, I am using a large coloured cap at the beginning of each page which sometimes requires extra-tight kerning (-75). I have assigned a character style for letters such as "O" and "T" which reflects this kerning. However, when I export it and view it in Calibre, the kerning is completely ignored and I have this nasty white space between the "O" and the "nce" on the word "Once". Any comments?

    There are three issues here: first, what text attributes does InDesign export and what not (apparently, "kerning" is a "no") and what can be used in an e-pub. Kerning? I don't know -- in CSS you have "letterspacing" and "wordspacing" attributes, so theoretically you could use these instead. But CSS support among the various software and devices varies enourmously, so it could be you are doing all this for just one or two devices with "just the right support".

  • Character Styles/Paragraph Styles in Cs5?

    I was under the impression that Photoshop CS5 included new Character Style and Paragraph Style panels, but they are not listed under the Windows menu (as was displayed in a tutorial I was watching). I purchased the extended version of the Creative Suite at the Education discount... I doubt they'd remove this feature (if it exists) for students, but who knows.
    Anyone else know anything about this?!?

    Not quite a "style" palette, but you can set a Tool Preset (upper left of options bar) to a style you want to re-use. I have a couple basic ones in there.
    Type a line of text and style it how you want with the text tool. Then, in that Tool Preset dropdown, hit New Tool Preset (this would be a text preset, in the same list as other tool presets). After you have a couple in there, the next time you want a certain text style, you click the preset name, THEN start typing.
    Again, not really a real text-style machine, but it saves you scrolling huge font lists and re-tracking and re-coloring and etc.

  • Reflection applied to character/paragraph style?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a character or paragraph style for using the web 2.0 reflection on text? example below...
    Thanks!

    Apologies not necessary. That previewColor property has been a mystery for quite some time, and when I finally found out what it is supposed to do, it seemed to be so bug-ridden that I quickly steered away from it and I gave up attempting to make any sense of it. But your script just avoids those bugs popping up!
    As I said in the IDS post: it's rather sad the Adobe team gave up on further developing this great hidden feature into a full one; and it's downright worrying that they left that legacy code in CS5 and later, so it could get infested with all those nasty little bugs. It leads me to think: how many more 'dead' code is there, in CS5, 5.5 and now in CS6? Could that be the reason later versions are so much slower and more buggy than my trusty CS4?
    (Point in fact.
    In CS4 and earlier on the Mac, all plugin resources are gathered into neat, small packages inside a single large indexed file. That makes sense, because every single plugin resource is just a couple of bytes long -- say, a single icon, or a single string "Menu Item Name". With CS5, the programmers suddenly took a Lazy Turn and wrote out every single resource as a single small file. That means that
    1. (Annoying!) Since hard disk space is allocated by the kilobyte (typically 4Kb chunks), 10 tiny resources totalling 1 Kb now will suddenly occupy 40 Kb of disk space. Sure, hard disk space is cheap. Apparently, it's even cheaper than doing some programming -- or even just using the load code from the last version!
    2. (Frustrating!) Locating, opening, loading, and then closing a single file takes time and resources, but after a file got loaded into memory, you can do with it whatever you want. Locating, opening, loading and then closing each of the dozens of small files per plugin takes lots of time. Is that the reason CS5.5 starts up so incredibly slow? Jongware sez: yeah for sure it won't help.
    /Point in fact).

  • Creating Space after a Paragraph Style

    Okay, all, this may sound weird. All I want to do in CS4 is have an extra 4 pt of space after a particular paragraph style. Specifically, my paragraph style, Body Text, already has "space after" specified at 3 pt. Fine. But, for example, when I have three paragraphs of just this style, I want the three paragraphs separated by an additional 4 pt of space. (There is no consistency in documents when this situation occurs.)
    At first, I thought it might be possible to do this via a nested character style. Nope. Back in FrameMaker, I used to do this manually, whenever I wanted extra space. My trainers would add paragraph tags (ugh).
    Still a newbie...
    Thanks!

    Kenneth C. Benson wrote:
    Maybe I'm really missing your meaning here. When I override a style setting to get more space below, I add space below the *paragraph*. I don't adjust anything about the last line. This is no different in Framemaker. In Framemaker, you can add space above or below a paragraph, either as part of a style (what FM calls a "format") or as a style override. You don't "adjust the last line of a paragraph" in either program.
    There's one important difference between FrameMaker's paragraph
    spacing and most other DTP or WP tools: Space between FM paragraphs is
    NOT ADDITIVE. Space below a paragraph is not added to space above the
    following paragraph. In FM, the larger space wins. (I think Ventura
    has this feature also, or perhaps has the option for additive or
    larger-one-wins.)
    If the issue is to make inter-paragraph spacing work non-additively
    like FM, please file a feature request for this as an option, at:
    www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    EDIT: The forum was unavailable for a while, and my email response was bounced. By the time I discovered the rejected mail, I saw Lizbeth's mention of having used Based-on paragraph styles. Probably the based-on style caused the mysterious behavior. The based-on property style information is only visible in the define/modify style dialog box. I'm going to enter a feature request for an indicator for the based-on property that will appears wherever a style's name appears, and, if possible, displays the name of the based on paragraph, character, and object style. Master pages do show the based-on master letter on the page icons in the pages panel, but they lose their own letter. I'll also ask for this feature.

  • Problem with footer in table style not applying paragraph style... or just me?

    I'm having a niggling problem making a table style with cell/paragraph styles for the header, body, and footer respectively. I want to make it as simple as possible for other users but one thing keeps tripping me up. I'll try and describe with screenshots. I'm using InDesign CS5 on Windows 7.
    I have a table style set up with cell styles for the header, body, and footer, and paragraph styles for each as well. Say I'm converting a list of generic text to this table:
    i convert it to my table style. The body style is a numbered list:
    I convert the header to an, err, Header. The cell applies the header paragraph style as I should expect:
    I convert the footer likewise, but it maintains the Body text paragraph style as an override!
    So naturally I clear the override and it works fine. But of course, I'd rather it acted like the header row. I can't work out where the override on the footer comes from and why it operates differently in this respect to the header row. There is nothing different about how the styles are constructed. Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this correct behaviour I'm misinterpreting, or something...?
    edit: Here is the file, if that will help:

  • Styles  and CSX styles

    I imported a Word 2007 doc into a new RH 7 HTML project, and
    I'm grappling with styles that aren't in RH 7 css or htts and
    weren't in the Word template, either.
    For example, when I highlight a paragraph that was a BulList
    paragraph (in Word), the RH HTML Formatting ribbon displays the
    style as BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE.
    How do I fix this? If I try to edit the styles, there is no
    BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE listed in the Styles dialog. Further, RH
    instructions for deleting a style (from the Styles dialog) state:
    Click "X". There is no "X". Rather, when I highlight a style I want
    to delete, the Delete button becomes unavailable.The RH Styles
    dialog has a neat list of Character and Paragraph formatting...and
    then "Other"...how do I relate what's in this dialog to the "stuff"
    that shwos up in the Formatting ribbon?
    Further,

    I can't speak specifically to Word-to-RH styles, but when you
    see a style in RH all in caps, that means that RH can't find it in
    the style sheet or in topic styles. That's why you can't find it in
    the style sheet, either.
    It should be sufficient to highlight the paragraphs in
    question and select the Normal style (or whatever style you want it
    to be).
    As for getting that BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE style to never show up
    at all, I don't know about that one.
    Hope this helps,
    Ben
