Paragraph style unselects each time i hit enter

I'm batteling a really annoying problem with CS4. When I start typing in a new document, it defaults to the Basic Paragraph as it's supposed to. But EVERY time I hit enter, it defaults to the font selected in the toolbar and ignores the Basic Paragraph rules. How do I fix this?

Perhaps, for the Basic Paragraph style, the Next Style is set to [No Paragraph Style] rather than [Same style].

Newtab question: How do I ''input'' the nine (yes 3X3) boxes to be my specific permanent sites exactly the same each time I hit the newtab+?

Newtab question: How do I ''input'' the nine (yes 3X3) boxes to be my specific permanent sites exactly the same each time I hit the newtab+? I know that I can hit the 'save' button but I want it to be MY selection before the save. Evert time I hit the newtab it seems to use my history to keep moving them up the line.
I have used google.com/ig as my home for years. In November the sites that are my personal choices will be gone as Google has decided to eliminate "IG"!
For example the NYTimes (with about 5-6 daily lead articles) appear in my upper left of the personalized home site. I would at least like to see that summary. At least with Newtab I can save it.
Is there a program step in FF that I can achieve my results and put nine sites into it and click them to be permanent as well as being able to edit them in the future?

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page.

Is there a way to create a temp table each time someone hits a procedure?

I am creating a procedure in Oracle 10g to take data from Oracle to be put in a cognos report. The problem with creating a perminent table is that several people will be running this report at the same time, which means the procedure will be run each time someone runs this report. The perminent table will either drop the old data or the data will get mixed up which means the different peoples reports will not be correct. I tried putting a lock on the tables that would release the lock once one person was done running their report but that didn't work. I suggested we put the data directly into the cursor but what happens when more than one person runs this procedure at the same time?
Any help on figuring out how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If there is one table 100 people inserting in the same table, i dont see a problem.
Few things you will have to take care of.
When you are retireving the data from teh table to show on the report,
how will you identify it is for which user, obviously you store the user name too.
Now this table will grow in size, so make sure when the report is exited you delete rows from teh table only pertainign to the user.
Over a period of time you will face more problmes of slow response due to continous deletes because of something called as HWM.
So make sure you also gatehr statistics for the table at regular intervals.
So,
1) Store user while isnerting, retrieve data only for that user in teh report
2) delete data on report exit only for that user
3) gather statistics for table at regual intervals.
4) Ofcourse Build indexed for "good" response time, but Benchmark against you data whatever you are doing.Cheers!!!

Can you apply different paragraph styles for each orientation?

I would like to apply different paragraph styles to the text, depending if it is viewed on portrait or landscape mode, but everytime I change one the other changes automatically. Is there a way to break this link?
Thanks

Unfortunately, iBA doesn't provide a lever to pull that can make a particular text style orientation specific.

Each time I hit a link in an email I get the message: "General Failure. Cannot find the URL... Then the desired, linked page opens. Why am I getting this annoying message screen?

The above message appears whenever I hit a link to a website. Then the desired page loads and the warning screen goes away.
This is annoying. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer as my browser, but I prefer to use Firefox. What can I do to get rid of this?

This can happen when the registry settings for links have mixed up commands. This article hopefully will help: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox Windows error opening Internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base].

How do I stop Firefox from showing "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" every time I hit enter?

GREP for changing paragraph style?

Okay folks, I have another one for all you smart people out there. I think GREP can be used to change formatting in the following instance, but I have no idea how to set it up.
I have a very long document, essentially a phone book-type listing of names, phone numbers, addresses, well over 150 pages' worth. The paragraph styles are fairly simple, only two per listing. The name/phone number is bold with a right hand tab with leader dots to a phone number that is flush to the right side of the column. The following lines are flush left, not bold, but indented 6pts. I've placed the text file and assigned the entire thing the NameListing paragraph style. I'd like to use GREP to find the address lines and change them to the NameListingAddress paragraph style.
Here's a screen shot to give you an idea. The left column is formatted correctly with both styles, the right column is "raw", all paragraphs formatted with the NameListing paragraph style.
Is this an appropriate application for GREP? If so, how do I set it up to only change the paragraphs that "don't have tabs"? It would save me a crapload of time.
THANKS again! --Dina

If your intent here is to use the character style to trigger a variable, as I belive it is based on your other thread, you MUST apply the character style up to the first tab to pick up the text at the start of the paragraph. There are two approaches to automating the formatting after that, but it may be too late for you to be much help.
In cases where every listing has the same number of lines it makes sense to use a unique paragraph style name (not necessarily format -- base on on another) for each lline and make it its own paragraph. Set up "next styles" to rotate through the list so each line is assigned the correct style based on the style of its predecessor. You get the rotation to sart over by making the first line style the next style for the last line. This works for manual entry and can be applied to an entire block of placed text in a single operation by selecting the text, then right-clicking the name of the first style to be applied and choose Apply <stylename>, Then Next Style.This ONLY works if you have exactly the same number of paragraphs in each listing.
The other option is to use forced line breaks instread of paragraphs and use one style for the entire listing. Set a left indent and negative first line indent, create a character style for the part of the first line that you want to appear in your header and apply it Up To ^t^n (that's a little-known trick -- if you enter more than one character in the trigger for a nested style it will activate on the first instance of any of the characters listed that occurs, so for example if you enter the word cat, your style will end on the first, c, a or t that appears inthe paragraph. ^t is the metacharacter for tab, and ^n is for forced line break) so that the style will end at either the tab, if present, or the forced line break if there is no tab (if you use a right-indent tab instead of a regualr right aligned tab [tricky to do a leader, but that's another discussion] substitute ^y for the ^t), then add a nested Line Style for one line. That line style should use a second character style that is based on the first character style you created for the name text and has no other attributes if you want the line to be the same from end to end. Sounds more complex than it is, and will work for listings with variable lenghths. The trick is to repalce your paragraph returns with forced line breaks, and will require a little thinking.
If using separate paragraph styles for each line, you'd use the same technique of a nested style up to a tab for the first line, but there is no need to get fancier since it will apply to the whole line if there is no tab. The paragraph style, in this case, would carry all of the bold and size formatting (and no need for any indents), and the character style would be nothing more than a name that will allow you to use it in the variable.

More than one font in a single paragraph style

I type academic papers mainly in English but with Japanese annotations (Japanese words in parentheses). With MSWord (hate to compare), I can set both the English and Japanese font styles for a single paragraph style. Can I do this with Pages? At present, I have the paragraph style set for Times New Roman. When I enter Japanese words, they show up as a particularly stiff and non-standard Japanese font. I can change it by hand, of course, but I'd love for the program just to know what font I want the Japanese to show up in.
Can anyone help me with this?
MStavros
PS: I'm using my computer set in Japanese but that should really be relevant.

Hi Joachim,
No, this is not possible.
Unfortunately you can only have one TableCellEditor in a single table cell.

Following Paragraph Style - a bug?

I have a list style that is currently active. I am on that list style now and over in the More section of the Text pane in the inspector, I choose a paragraph style as the "Following Paragraph Style". However when I hit return (to start a new paragraph) from the list style, the menu selection in the Following Paragraph Style changes to "same" (which results in the corresponding effect in the following paragraph, i.e. I end up having the characteristic of the list style I had before I hit return.
I am assuming this is a bug?
Thanks,
Kenneth

I still don't quite understand what you're trying to do, but it might help to understand how following style works. It's not very useful except when used in a defined style. In your example, I think when you hit return, the new paragraph took on the following style you'd set. That style, though, had its following style set to Same, which is why the pop-up changed back.
Try this in a new document:
Show the styles drawer.
Apply the paragraph style "Body Bullet"
In the text inspector, change the following style to "Title"
Click on the red triangle next to "Body Bullet" in the styles drawer.
Select "Redefine Style from Selection"
Type some text and press return, type more text.
The paragraph which follows the body-bullet style has the style you set as the following style, "Title."
Press return again, more text.
The next paragraph has the style "Body," the following style of "Title".
Something which might be more useful would be to set Body Bullet's following style to Body. Then you could apply Body Bullet, and get a bulleted paragraph. As you are typing, each subsequent paragraph would be Body until you applied Body Bullet again.

Different paragraph styles within a text thread

Does anybody know if it's possible to apply a different paragraph style to each text box in a text thread? I have three boxes: the first and the last have a small font and I'd like the middle one to have a larger font size.
If it's not possible, is there an alternative way to do this?
Thanks,
Nacho

Offhand i'd say that what Nacho wants to do will entail having separate text boxes...
Seems to me that what he's doing is having the text flow from one box to another (column?). Obviously, changing / editing content will cause the text to shift its position.
Nacho, i think you'll have to do one of the following:
1/ Manually adjust the font style for the box you want each time you mke a correction
or
2/ Set up different, independent boxes (text areas) and style the box the way you want. Obviously changing text will mean changes in the area used by that box...
Maybe someone else here can help out with a better suggestion...

How can I force a paragraph style without losing italic?

This has been annoying me for ages. I work on documents in Word, applying italic to book titles etc, and then import into indesign. I apply a paragraph style and three times out of four the bits of italic are preserved. However, the fourth time the paragraph style doesn't take (probably because of the presence of italic) and I have to force it to do so by using Alt-click. Invariably the italic is then replaced by roman.
It's happening just now with a whole lot of footnotes and endnotes in a book I'm working on and means I have to go back through them all, manually applying italic to my book titles and references. Is there any way to force an endnote/footnote paragraph style without losing the italic text?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom.

I'm not sure that forward planning is so necessary here.
If your only concern is losing italics when importing from Word, create,
in InDesign, an italic character style. Then do a search and replace
throughout the InDesign document (after you've placed the Word file)
searching for italics formatting, and replacing with your italics
character style.
That will prevent you from losing your italics formatting.
Repeat for bold, bold italics, superscript, subscript, and anything else
the author uses.
There are some scripts that help in this process (I think one of them is
called "preptext", by Jongware).
If you want a comprehensive solution that can find every type of
formatting override and creates and applies the appropriate character
style, check out my "Create Character Styles from Overrides" script,
available under the scripting tab on freelancebookdesign.com.

How can I prevent a new tab being created every time I hit the Home Key in Firefox 4?

I recently installed Firefox 4. I have it set to open two tabs, Google and Yahoo, for my homepage. When I open a new site in either of them the tab assumes the name of the new site. At the end of my search I hit the Home Key to return to my two original tabs. My two original tabs appear, but so does an additional tab...a duplicate of one of the original two. Each time I hit the Home Key another tab is created. This is annoying and I would like to know how to prevent it from happening. Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

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...?

How do you automatically create paragraph styles from a document?

Hi,
(posted in general indesign as well - advised to post over here)
I know I've seen this somewhere but can't for the life of me find it...
How can I automatically create paragraph and character styles in an InDesign CC document? I'm sure I saw a script to do this and though I'll download that later...only i can't find it now.
The scenario is that I have a document created by someone else which has lots of paragraph styles, but each one has over-rides on (so they're not really much use). I'm wanting something that will go through the document and create all the different styles that have been used.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
I was given this tip to try: PerfectPrepText (http://indesignsecrets.com/perfectpreptext-a-smart-way-to-style-local-formatting.php) but couldn't get it to do what i was after unfortunately...however it did point me in the direction of something that does the trick:
PowerStyles (DTP Tools - Power Styles for Adobe InDesign).
Not sure if it's available for CC yet though.
Thanks
