Paragraph style shortcuts

Hi!
Can I create keyboard shortcut to apply my paragraph styles?
Thanks!
c

Sure. It's right there in the General screen of the Paragraph Style definition dialog.
The limitation is that syle shortcuts are restricted to using a modifier key and a key on the numeric keypad.

Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
It seems that no option to do this is exposed - ist this correct?

That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.

Why can't I define bullet paragraph in Basic Paragraph style?

I would like to set up my Basic Paragraph style so that I can quickly apply bullets to individual paragraphs - using MY preferred indents - without having to create a new style for the bullet paragraphs. I tried changing the settings of the Basic Paragraph style, with no documents open, but it doesn't seem to want to accept my choice of indents. First I selected bullets and set an indent, but then the whole paragraph defaults to bullets. When I switch the bullet setting back to "none" the only thing that it keeps is the last setting I chose for tabs. (Which simultaneously changes the default tab setting for all paragraphs.) But when I create a new doct and start a bullet paragraph, the indents always default to .25/-.25, and any tab setting LESS than .25 results in the first line indenting to the tab setting, but the rest of the paragraph indenting to .25. There seems to be no way to change the default indent for bullets without creating a new paragraph style. And usually I'm fine with that. But I thought I would like to have a quick default using the Basic Paragraph style. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
Here is a visual/verbal screenshot to help explain:

Let's see if I understand this differently from the others. You want to apply bullets manually from time to time without having to select a new style, you want to do this by pressing the bulleted list button in the Control panel, and you want settings for tabs and indents other than the default. Is that correct?
As far as I can tell there is no way currently to do this. You cannot set up the parameters for bullets unless the text cursor is active or you are defining a style, so there is no way to set up new defaults. You don't want to set up parameteres everytime you need a bullet, so, either you type the bullets manually, tab and insert an indent to here character, which is actually a lot more work, or you go ahead and set up the style. You can access the style list in the dropdown on the Control panel, or you can add a keyboard shortcut to give you quick access, or hit Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Enter to access Quick apply and start typing the name of the style (almost as fast as a keyboard shortcut).

Find a specific paragraph style within a table and apply a specific cell style?

I'm a total beginner when it comes to scripting, but I would like to create a script that finds the paragraph style "resultsUL" within a large table and applies the cell style "female". Sure wish the find/replace was able to account for cell styles as well as paragraph and character styles. Is anyone willing to help me with this? Thank you!

Hi,
I do it quickly defining a simple research on the "resultsUL" para style and using a loop with QuicKeys as:
Cmd-0 is a shortcut associated to the "female" cell style.
So, What I do: search the para style (Cmd-option-F) and apply the cell style, then search again…
As easy to do with QuicKeys, I think that can be easily done with a [JS] (faster process!).

Problem applying Paragraph styles in CS4 InDesign

I boughtCS4 InDesign for Windows perhaps six months ago, and it worked fine with Windows XP. I have recently installed Windows 7 and find that the paragraph styles won't always work. Of ten when I try to use the shortcut for paragraph style the paragraph in question turns pink with small squares in it. If I undo the application of paragraph styles it goes back to text. I am using Times New Roman as the major font. However, I have tried other fonts and they won't work in paragraph style either.
I tried changing several pages of the manuscript to Times New Roman Special G1, but it won't do the commas, quotes, etc. (special characters).
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix this mess?
Thanks for any help.

Well, here's the situation now. But before describing it, let me thank Peter
Spier and Bob Levine who have endeavored to help me. Now, here's where we
are:
I copied a document over from Pagemaker into InDesign using Times New Roman
font. (I did the same for two other book manuscripts this past summer,
shortly after purchasing InDesign and had no problem). Suddenly a couple
weeks ago I found that the shortcut I set for the paragraph styles did not
format the paragraphs, etc., but rather turned the paragraph in which I
placed the cursor into a series of pink squares highlighted in pink. I have
tried the suggestions you fellows have given, such as copying the fonts
presently in the Windows Font Directory into the Adobe/InDesign/Fonts
directory, and then right-clicking on them and installing them. By the way,
the InDesign font directory only had the Times New Roman and Times New Roman
Special 1 and Renaissance font in it, until I copied all my fonts there and
installed them. Another oddity, I make the first letter of the first
paragraph of each chapter a decorative Renaissance font, spanning two lines.
I now find that when I do that, I may get a black square, which may turn
into the correct font after I adjust the size to two lines.
But on the general problem, I have tried changing the font in the
paragraph styles to Amerigo BT, and I sometimes get the shortcut to work,
and sometimes it still turns it into Times New Roman Special or black
squares. Also, I have opened a new file and put another copy of the text in
it, setting up the paragraph styles, etc. and still have the same problem.
So I'm at a loss what to do. I do think it's possible I am doing
something wrong with fonts or setting up the paragraph styles, but I don't
see any errors there. All my computer fonts show up in the fonts panel of
the document. Any more ideas?

Missing numeric keypad & Character Styles shortcuts

Hello everyone,
Is there a way of activating the keyboard shortcuts we customized for Character & Paragraph Styles using the new Mac keyboards that don't have numeric keypads? Without the numeric keypads, one has to open Character/Paragraph Styles panel and click on the desired shortcut, which is tedious.
We're using ID5.
Thanks.

Discussed yesterday (and a couple of times before). Pity 'Search Forums' does such a crappy job; it ought to show you Shortcuts in the Imacs...

InCopy Paragraph Style Keyboard Short cut errors

I am using CS 6 and have found the following in InCopy:
I create short cuts for my paragraph and character styles on my Mac OS. For example "CMD" + "1" sets Paragraph style to "Intoduction."
I open the file on my PC also running InCopy CS 6 instead of the keyboard short cuts becoming "CTRL" + "1" for paragraph style "Introduction" as happens with InDesign they keyboard short cuts become something seemingly random, in may case "CTRL" + "S"
As InCopy doesn't support non-numeric characters for keyboard shortcuts these short cuts no longer work. I have tried the same process using InDesign files and here the keyboard short cuts went from "CMD" + "1" for the paragraph style "Introduction" to "CTRL" + "1." Is this a known issue or have I made a mistake along the way?
Regards,
Luis Leon

Well then, if it walks like a duck…
I’ll see if I can duplicate it here when I have some time.

How do I use multiple paragraph styles in one line?

I'm working on my thesis in APA style. I'm creating a Table of Contents with the help of Pages. When you get to Level 3 in APA headings (no problems with Levels 1 and 2) it needs to look like this:
[0.5in Indent] Masculinities in higher education. For men, the college experience.... (paragraph starts on same line as the heading).
I created a paragraph style for the (bolded) heading above [Heading 3]. When I do this, like magic the heading shows up in the table of contents (yeah!). However when I do this the rest of the paragraph shows up too (boo!). When I highlight to change the just rest of the paragraph (not the heading) to the style "Body" it changes the heading too and removes it from the table of contents. How can I make 2 paragraph styles work together in the same paragraph so I can use the tale of contents tool?? Surly there is a work-around.
Pages 5

As the name implies, paragraph styles are not intended to be used on a unit smaller than a paragraph. Therefore if you want the TOC to be automatically generated then you need to have distinct paragraphs... as you specify the APA style with the content and heading continuous then you will have to manually create the TOC.

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

Paragraph styles all default to wrong character style

So I set up a template and based all my character styles on my basic body copy. However, every new text box I create it defaults to the "character styles" to my section header color and sizing. I have to right click and "clear character styles" every single time. I've never had this happen before and cannot figure out how to fix it, it is such a PAIN!

From your explanation, I suspect your use of Character Styles might need to be redirected to Paragraph Styles. But that is conjecture, so I apologize if I'm wrong. In any case, to solve your problem; with nothing selected, choose No Character Style in the Character Styles panel. That sets the default for new frames.

Cross Reference, Paragraph Style conflict?

I'm created an epub file and have a cross reference for one of my chapter titles. When I export it to ADE the final product has the cross reference in the file but the paragraph style for the text that I linked lost all of it's styling somehow. The paragraph style is supposed to be centered and have space after it but it is completely gone but the code is still in the xhtml file.
I have opened the xhtml file and cannot see where the issue is. Has anyone else had this problem exporting from CS4? If so, how do you fix it?
Thank you so much!

According to the FM7 Help, the variables for background text frame use might be:
<$paranumonly[paratag]>
to pick up the first instance on a page, and
<$paranumonly[+,paratag]>
to pick up the last.
The "+," bit is the key. I've never tried it myself.
This presumably also assumes that the paras of interest all have the same format name.

Hi, Yanesh:
Please understand, the FrameMaker feature known as a run-in paragraph, which is a paragraph with a "carriage return" but without a "line feed," HAS NO COUNTERPART in InDesign. InDesign also lacks the FrameMaker side heading feature, which is created by the combination of a reserved area in the text frame and the paragraph property to inhabit that area. FrameMaker separates paragraphs by using the larger of space below paragraph and space above paragraph, but InDesign separates paragraphs by adding the space below paragraph and the space above paragraph.
There are several complicated manual methods of simulating these FrameMaker properties in InDesign.
Here's a recent forum discussion of these exact issues: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3759635#3759635. The thread mentions DTP Tools' conversion tool, the MIF Filter commercial plug-in for InDesign, and discusses its shortcomings. I don't recall it mentioning in-tools.com plug-ins that can simulate side headings, like those in FrameMaker, but they don't convert FrameMaker to InDesign.
You can add your vote for InDesign's developers to include these FrameMaker features, and any others you'd like to see, here: wish.

How do I stop ID from assigning a paragraph style to the TABLES?

In-Design is adding "H1" paragraph style to EVERY table is inserted, so the table headers formatting is affected by that H1 style.
I guess it chooses H1 because it's the FIRST style I created (and then modified the "basic paragraph" to modify the rest of default text).
It's like it's adding "Style_ID=1"
I tried placing the character in different places, to make sure it's not the style the cursor is in which is inherited, and no, no matter where I place the cursor, when I "insert table" the cursor is automatically placed into the first cell (header cell) and the paragraph "H1" is selected (and applied)
Adding a table with NO headers does the same, so it's not me that confused style names and applied some to the wrong place.
H1 is not used and table and cells styles are not based in it.
I don't know whether it's a bug, but IT FEELS like a bug.
How do I expect it to work?
I expect that by creating a table, NO style be applied other than the table's. (Not even the basic one)

You might have set the default paragraph style for the document (which you set by selecting a paragraph style with no text frame selected) to your H1 paragraph style.
Make sure it's on "Basic paragraph" when you select the type tool..

How do I edit a paragraph style in Muse?

Is there a way to change a typeface or other detail in a paragraph stylesheet in Muse? I've tried duplicating the style, and then, when I delete the old one, I replace it with the new one. Is there a more direct way to do that?

Hello,
If you create a paragraph style, then change any attribute, the style has an override. If you'd like to keep this override and redefine the style click the "redefine selected style from attributes" button (highlighted in the screen shot.)

How do I access *load paragraph styles* from the styles pallet menu?

Adobe help informs me that I can bring styles from other documents into an existing document by doing this:
"To copy paragraph styles from one publication to another choose Load Paragraph Styles from the Paragraph Styles panel menu."
I do not see any menu in the paragraph style menu. I am in CS5. What am I missing?

I'm sorry, I found it. I had to go back to my G4 and the CS version to see what to do. I did not recognize the small feature on the window yielding the menu.
