Problem: Photoshop CS6 applies two paragraph styles when one is selected

Hi everyone,
When I change the heading title within my text box, I select the heading and then select the appropriate style. Instead of just changing the heading, the body text changes as well. Is there a setting that's causing this to happen?
Thanks so much for your help!

First Bug: Simply having a layer selected (even a text layer) and then clicking the "Create New Paragraph Style" will create a generic style (with default settings). You have to tell Photoshop what settings it is that you want to create a style with. Simply double-click the text layer icon (not the layer name or the blank area around it) and this will open the text layer for editing and select the text. Now when you click the "Create New Paragraph Style" button, the settings of the selected text will be made into a style. This is how they are performing the step in the video as well, but from your description it sounds like you are skipping a step. And remember, there are two different ways of creating text: single click the Text tool to create line (character) text, click and drag a text box to create paragraph text. That is why we have both Character Styles and Paragraph Styles.
Second Bug: The Paragraph Style is applying with your text transformations calculated. So, if you create a text style that uses a 24 pt font, then you create text and transform it so that it 200% larger, when you apply the style you will end up with a font that is at 48 pts. A 50% transformation will result in a 12 pt font, etc.
Third Bug: Not sure why that is happening to you. My Mac uses half as much RAM and doesn't run into that problem. My guess is it would have to do with the fonts you have installed on the system. Do you still see this behavior if you disable all the fonts on your system (through Font Book or your favored font managment utility)? Your suggestion that it may have something to do with Fonnnnt Shop or WebInk may be true to. Just because they aren't open currently doesn't mean they haven't modified Photoshop and the way it runs.

Two paragraph style in one script?

Hi all,
I have two paragraph styles, the first is applied to first, 3°, 5°, ... lines, and the second to second, 4°, 6°, 8°... lines.
how i can group them in the one script?
Please revert if you have not clear.
Thanks & Regards

Just in case sorour needs it to do something more complicated, it's simply >for (var i=0; i<app.activeDocument.selection[0].paragraphs.length; i++) > if ((i & 1) == 0) > app.activeDocument.selection[0].paragraphs[i].appliedParagraphStyle = "style a"; > else > app.activeDocument.selection[0].paragraphs[i].appliedParagraphStyle = "style B"; >next i Select all paragraphs and run the scriptette. This script, and any other solution, runs on i paragraphs, not i lines. Note the distinction; you can't apply a paragraph style to a single line, only to paragraphs. If you intended something for consecutive lines in a single paragraph, it'll get a bit more complicated.

How to apply multiple paragraph styles to one sentence?

I'm using paragraph styles but is not helpful because I'm trying to apply 2 different styles within the same sentence which is not working.
To make it work I select the sentence, apply the style, for instance "xfont-regular" then I select the word within the sentence that I want it to have a different style and I choose from the font list maybe italic so that it looks "something like this"
Obviously by doing this, I'm loosing all the benefits of using p styles and of course it's so time consuming. Is there any way to break the sentence, keeping it in the same line, so that I can apply different styles to it? and still keep the benefits of just going to the styles and make the changes to the whole document that have that style applied.
Thank you

As Diane King mentioned, nested character styles may work for your need. Her example was an initial dropped capital (multi-line first one or several letters of a paragraph.) Dropped caps are a specific type of nested style - always the first one or more characters in a paragraph, two or more lines high.
To use the general kind of nested style, you need to be able to identify the word or words within the paragraph that gets the nested character style. For example, the third word, or the first two words after the first semi-colon. If there is no pattern of word(s) that can be identified by position or sequence, it's possible that a GREP style can be used to find a common pattern of characters and apply a character style to it, for example a telephone number, date, or currency amount that's identified by a dollar sign, pound, or yuan.
Search InDesign Help and Google for "InDesign nested style," "InDesign grep style," and similar terms (without quotes) for details. There have been many discussions of GREP on this forum.

Multiple paragraph styles in one line

I'm creating a training manual and I am having trouble with paragraph styles. Here's an example of what I am trying to do:
"The Dog walks up the hill"
In the above example, I have created a style for the bolded text and connected it my table of contents. The idea is when I create and update the TOC, "The Dog" will be the entry with the remaining text omitted from the TOC. The issue I am having is because the text is on one line, I cannot have multiple styles. I've tried writing just "The Dog" and then either changing the style or deleting the paragraph break to connect the text below to the main line. Once I erase the paragraph break and the text is on one line, only ONE style is maintained. Now, I can modify the character style; however, because the paragraph style is still the one connected to the TOC, the entire paragraph appears in the TOC.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I've searched everywhere to no avail.
Thank you very much for your support.

It depends on the breed of dog.
Is the paragraph always a single line?
Is this dog the leader of the pack? IE, does the phrase you want to keep always begin the paragraph? If so, then you can separate the dog from the pack in the TOC. One way is to surround the pack with a unique character or marker in the main text, like End Nested Style Here, - one after dog, and another after hill, and create a paragraph style for the doggie paragraph to use in the TOC. This paragraph should contain a nested character style that applies microscopic text properties, like paper character color, font .1pt, and horizontal scale .1%. The TOC entries should use nested paragraph styles; the source paragraphs need you to insert the End Nested Style Here markers. The nested style definition in the TOC paragraph styles should apply no character style through the first end nested style marker, then apply microscopic through the next end nested style marker. This will shrink the walks...hill text to an invisible speck, so small that it shouldn't interfere with tab leaders and page-references.
Another approach is to use a single-row table for the heading, with the dog pent nicely in the left cell, and the pack in the right cell. Each cell contains a paragraph, so only extract the dog to the TOC.

Fonts default to 50 point when applying a paragraph style

I have run into this several times. When updating an InDesign file from an older version (now using CS5) when I apply a paragraph style the font defaults to 50 point no matter the style settings. Is there some way to avoid this. Currently I'm copying and pasting the graphics into a new file and having to reset the text. If I copy any of the old text over it causes the same problem.
Most of our text is copied and pasted from Microsoft Word (old version and new text edits), however, the text that was already in the document and the new text both do the same thing when a style is applied.
CS5
Win 7 Pro 64bit

My original "body" style isn't base on any style and the other styles are based on "body" but none of them (including Basic Paragraph), have 50 as the size.
I had it wrong in my original question, it's not 50 point size, it's 30 point with 50 point leading, bold, and Myriad Pro (which is my body font) that everything converts to no matter which style I choose. My basic paragraph style is Times New Roman 12/14. Body font that everything is based on is Myriad Pro, regular, 10/14.

Need to keep two paragraph styles on same line

Coming from Ventura and need to recreate all publications in Indesign - can't find the equivalent of "breaks - line break: none". Need to keep two paragraph styles on same line.

Like Ventura, FrameMaker has been able to do this for decades.
You're correct about zero leading being inadequate, if not only in appearance, but also for maintaining the document through changes, especially if someone other than you needs to edit it.
Nested styles are logical to create and use. Search Google for terms like "InDesign nested styles," without quotes, for lots of links to tutorials and details.
If you need to create TOC entries for each of the two parts of text in this example, even after formatting with a nested style, InDesign's TOC will see only the single paragraph. If that works, OK. If you want to be able to create a TOC reference to each part, you'll have to create hidden text for each part, and you'll need to create a paragraph style for each, as well. This is because InDesign's TOC only captures complete paragraphs.
[EDIT] If you think this is an important feature enhancement that should be included in a future InDesign release, post a formal feature request in the form here: WISH.[/EDIT]

I do miss Ventura a lot. For others, basically side-by-side paragraphs are successive paragraphs (one below the other) that the paragraph style can then format so they are next to each other, out in the margin as callouts, etc.

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.

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.

I'm trying to create a running header to pick up one of two paragraph styles...

I have a Header_1 and a Header_11 paragraph style. I need the running header to pick up either instance of those; as it stands, InDesign can only pick up one style at a time...

You have to define a running header based on a character style and apply
the char style to your titles.
Alternatively, you could create 2 master pages with two different
paragraph-based running header text variables.

Apply a paragraph style to XML elements that have a specific attribute

1) I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to XML
2) I have an XML with a ssstructure like this:
<chapter>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <list type="disk">
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 </list>
 <list type="square">
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 <listitem>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph>
 </listitem>
 </list>
</chapter>
Is there a easyer way (except iterating all the xmlElements) to find all the lists and apply the appropriate paragraph style (i have a "list_with_disk" paragraphstyle, and a "list_with_square" one)?

Hi Vamitul,
Please try the below JS code.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//____________________ disk bullet style apply
try{
 var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
 var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='disk']//paragraph");
 for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
 var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
 myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Disk");
 }catch(e){}
//____________________ Squar bullet style apply
try{
 var rootElement = myDoc.xmlElements.item(0);
 var linkElementList = rootElement.evaluateXPathExpression("//list[@type='square']//paragraph");
 for(i=linkElementList.length-1; i>=0; i--){
 var myAttribute = linkElementList[i];
 myAttribute.xmlContent.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName("Square");
 }catch(e){}

Photoshop CS6 Plug-ins not appearing when clicked under extension drop-down menu

I noticed that for some reason, my default extensions that come with photoshop cs6 extended and also custom installed plug-ins won't appear when clicked on. Usually you see a check mark by the plug-in if it is working and is visible on the photoshop layout as a panel. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which the Kuler extension worked, but only under the workspace that I opened it up for. So for example, I opened it up on Essential workspace, but it wouldn't appear when changed to painting workspace. When I close the panel from the workspace, it won't ever come back up again even when clicked on under the extension drop-down menu on any workspace. This is occuring not just on my desktop, but also on my laptop. Both are not Photoshop CC, but regular Photoshop CS6.
I don't really mess around with the extensions much, but once I found out about the painterswheel plugin, I really wanted to try it out, hence now noticing this extension issue with my plug-in..
All my plug-ins appear on the drop down menu for Windows > Extensions, so it shouldn't be a file placement problem. I have also tried the Adobe troubleshoot for plugins by uninstalling my plug-ins to see if third party plug-ins were the problem, but still my default plug-ins won't even work.

I'm a little confused with what you write. There is a difference between extensions and Plug-ins. Plug-ins are installed using the plug-ins installer and extensions are installed by "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" where version is the Photoshop version and the extension package must be created for that particular Photoshop version. A CS5 package will not work in CS6 etc. Installed extensions will be listed in Photoshop under menu Windows>Extensions>List of them. Plug-in may install in the Filters menu or a place like menu File>Automate>Names. Installed Extensions that you installed should also show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window. Adobe installed extensions like Kuler and Mini Bridge do not show in the "Adobe Extension Manager (version)" window.

Losing Paragraph style when linkind word Docs

Hi
New to InDesign CS5.
My client wants to edit text files so I am trying using the text link function in Indesign, but when I update the Word document I lose all my Paragraph and Text styles that I have applied in Indesign.
Is there a way keep the paragraph and text style when updating linked Word doc files?
Thanks

But don't hold your breath in hoping the client keeps to the set of styles.
In some cases, I've been locking down my Word files so that editorial contributors can only make text edits. It works a treat - except when they want to perform major edits. In those cases, I unlock the file for 'em and give 'em a lecture about how much extra they're going to pay in DTP costs when I have to reflow large parts of the document due to excessive significant changes at the tail end of a translation workflow. That also works quite well.
I'd be a huge fan of InCopy if it were free, or had an install base like that of MS Word. However, since precisely zero of the people who have wanted to be involved in the editorial processes of the projects I handle have ever heard of InCopy, in the entire time since the introduction of InDesign CS, it's a tough sell.

Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?

Hi,
So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung
Processor:
AMD A6-3420M APU with
Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities).
