Specified font need to be changed in all paragraph styles

Hi All,
Is there any option to change a font which is used in many paragarph styles to some other font.
Thanks in advance,

ok.. this should work for most cases:
function main(){
          var doc=app.activeDocument;
          var myDialog= new Window("dialog","Font replacer");
          var grp1=myDialog.add("group");
          var panel1=grp1.add("panel",undefined,"Find font:");
          var panel2=grp1.add("panel",undefined,"Change font:");
          var findFonts=doc.fonts.everyItem().name.join("\r").replace(/\t/g,":").split("\r");
          var chFonts=app.fonts.everyItem().name.join("\r").replace(/\t/g,":").split("\r");
          var myFindDrop=panel1.add("dropdownlist",undefined,findFonts);
          var myChDrop=panel2.add("dropdownlist",undefined,chFonts);
          myDialog.add("button",undefined,"Ok",{name:"ok"});
          myDialog.add("button",undefined,"Cancel",{name:"cancel"});
          myFindDrop.selection=myFindDrop.items[0];
          myChDrop.selection=myChDrop.items[0];
          if (myDialog.show()) {
                    var pstyles = doc.allParagraphStyles;
                    var cstyles = doc.allCharacterStyles;
                    var ffont = myFindDrop.selection.text.replace(/:/g,"\t");
                    var tfont = myChDrop.selection.text.replace(/:/g,"\t");
                    for (var a = 1; a < pstyles.length; a++) {
                              if (pstyles[a].appliedFont.name==ffont) {
                                        pstyles[a].appliedFont = tfont;
                    for (var i = 1; i < cstyles.length; i++) {
                              if ((cstyles[i].appliedFont+'\t'+cstyles[i].fontStyle==ffont)||(cstyles[i].appliedFont.name==ffont)) {
                                        cstyles[i].appliedFont = tfont;
}app.doScript("main()",undefined,undefined,UndoModes.fastEntireScript,'Global Change Font');
When i'll have the time i'll probably do a more advanced version, to change font families or just font variants etc.
However, for your example, it won't change the character style "three". I'm curious about how did you defined that style because while in the interface it shows that the applied font is "Minion Pro" and the font style is "Regular", when i get the font Style property from the script it reports as "Roman". Very very wierd.

Infotype screen headers needs to be changed for all the infotypes

Hi Guys,
This would be for a global implementation question.
For the US for a particular region, the screen header needs to be changed for all the infotypes.
The existing field (in the infotype header) is Employee Group which needs to be replaced with employment status.
The know how to change the headers but my question is STAT2 exists in IT 0000 but does not exist in 0001, 0002 0007.........etc
When i go to Table T588J to add an entry , Screen Header 42......,
I get an error " No Field STAT2 exists for infotype 0001"
No field STAT2 exists for infotype 0001.
Message no. PG811
Diagnosis
No STAT2 field exists for infotype 0001.
Procedure
Please contact your system administrator.
Procedure for System Administration
In Customizing, determine the incorrect entry in Personnel
Administration in the Header structure per infotype view, step " Determine infotype header and correct it
I would like to have some inputs from you guys ..... Any Suggessions...
Thanks,
Aastha

Hi Aastha,
Correct me if I am wrong.
First you need to maintain the header in T588J.
Screen header of an infotype is defined in view V_582A_B. We can define one screen header for employee and another for applicant in view V_T588I. The header modifier selected from view V_T588I has a definition in table T588J, which finally gets shown on the screen.
Depending on the transaction class (A = Personnel Administration, B = Recruitment) and the country grouping, a header modifier is assigned to the infotype header in the u201CHeader Modificationu201D view V_T588I.
For example like
Screen Header / Tr. Class / Header modifier
00 / A / 60
In the view u201CHeader Structure per Infotypeu201D (V_582A_B), a header has been assigned to every infotype. It also determines whether the data is valid from the system date or the start date of the infotype record
Hope this is useful.

Script to change language to all Paragraph Styles?

Is there a script out there that will change the language of all styles in a document? I frequently need to take US English files with multiple folders of styles and convert them for Canada English and French. Find/replace language does well enough for one-off use but I would like to clean up file as I go for future use without going through each style one and a time.
-Thanks!

If you are using OSX this AppleScript will change all the style definitions and text for the active document to French. Just edit the first line for the desired language so Canadian English would be: set lang to "English: Canadian"
set lang to "French"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    set pstyles to all paragraph styles of active document
    repeat with i from 1 to number of items in pstyles
        try
            set applied language of item i of pstyles to lang
        end try
    end repeat
    set cstyles to all character styles of active document
    repeat with i from 1 to number of items in cstyles
        try
            set applied language of item i of cstyles to lang
        end try
    end repeat
    try
        set applied language of every paragraph of every story of active document to lang
    end try
end tell

Changes to [No Paragraph Style] causing unwanted style overrides

Hi fellow InDesigners
I'm using InDesign CS6. I'm working with long documents that were originally created in previous versions (CS4 and possibly earlier). My standard workflow for these jobs is to do the bulk of the text formatting in a newly created, bare-bones, single column document. First, I load the paragraph and character styles from the template, and when I'm done I copy and paste the formatted text back into the template for final layout and typesetting. This used to work fine in CS4, but in CS6, all my paragraphs show the plus sign in the Paragraph Styles panel, indicating that they have been overridden. They should be identical, since I imported the styles from one file to the other. The overrides include drop cap alignment, and even more obscure things like 'IdeoSpaceBehavior' and 'Diacritic Positioning'.
It seems likely to me that this problem is due to Adobe having changed the definition of the mysteriously ubiquitous '[No Paragraph Style]' style between versions. The template file has carried over the definition from CS4, but the newly created working files have the new definition, and since [No Paragraph Style] is not included when importing styles from one document to another, the inconsistency remains. Copying and pasting text with no overrides in one document, shows overrides in the other.
So the simplest solution I can think of, would be to change the [No Paragraph Style] in the template to match the definition of new CS6 documents. Is this even possible? My Googling thus far suggests that [No Paragraph Style] is pretty much untouchable.
Is there nothing for it but to create the template files again as new documents in CS6?

No worries Michael. Yes, I vaguely remember the change too.
My understanding is, [No Paragraph Style] is very much a style—a paradoxically named style to be sure, but a style nonetheless. Check out the [Basic Paragraph] style definition by double clicking on it in the Paragraph Styles panel. It's style definition is: '[No Paragraph Style] + next: [Same style]'. That's it. Minion Pro 12 point, with auto leading—and every other conceivable paragraph attribute—all handled by [No Paragraph Style]. Adobe needed some defaults, and that's what [No Paragraph Style] is—just a default style. You can never escape it either, since every style, no matter what it's based on, has [No Paragraph Style] as its most senior ancestor.
So that's essentially my problem. Adobe has, in their wisdom, changed the [No Paragraph Style] style between versions, so that a document originally created in an earlier version and a document created in CS6 have different [No Paragraph Style] settings. I'm pretty confident this is the cause of my problems.
Lots of my paragraph styles inherit from other styles. Why would I not want that? My custom 'Paragraph' style has lots of other styles based on it—from typesetting variations, to quotes, lists, etc. But the 'Paragraph' style itself is based on [No Paragraph Style]. As I said, you can't really escape [No Paragraph Style].

Problem changing and creating paragraph styles in Pages

When using paragraph styles I come up against several problems that I haven't been able to figure out with the help menu:
1. When I change a para with the style list it doesn't change the para to the chosen parameters. It changes for instance the font but not the size. How do I make sure that the chosen text gets changed completely?
2. When I want to create a new style from selection it does not create a style that turns up in future lists. I only get to choose what is already somewhere in the text I am writing and what seems to be a default list that shows up with every new document. To change to something else I have to find a text that has the format I want, copy a piece of it, put it into the text I am working on and then try and change the paragraph style. How can I make sure that I have the styles I want at my disposal whatever I am working on? Can I somehow edit the choices in the style drawer?
3. When looking at the help menu, this is the beginning of an instruction:
+To apply a style to one or more paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to change, or select an entire text box, table, table cell, or shape that contains text. Click the Paragraph Styles button in the format bar, and then choose the style you want to apply+
Now, where do I find the paragraph styles button and where is the format bar? I clicked my way through numerous drop down menus but haven't found what this is referring to.
Would be grateful for any hints, and please keep your explanations simple enough. I need instructions for dummies Thanks in advance!

Double click on the style name in the styles drawer to completely force the style onto the selected text. This will however eliminate any bolding, italics, underlining etc.

To add a style to the Styles Drawer, format your text, then click on the little red triangle next to the style in the drawer and choose New from selection giving it a name.
You can also change the name of the style by right clicking on the name and selecting Rename. This is not always available as some names are reserved.
Each document has its own definitions of the styles. You can import Styles from other documents:
+Menu > Format > Import Styles… > Browse to a document with the styles and select those you want to copy over+
3. When looking at the help menu, this is the beginning of an instruction:
+To apply a style to one or more paragraphs, select the paragraphs you want to change, or select an entire text box, table, table cell, or shape that contains text. Click the Paragraph Styles button in the format bar, and then choose the style you want to apply+
Now, where do I find the paragraph styles button
It is the reversed blue P on the Toolbar, also +Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
and where is the format bar?
I assume you are referring to the toolbar at the top of the window.
I clicked my way through numerous drop down menus but haven't found what this is referring to.

I suggest you download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf under the Help menu.

Change case in paragraph style option

I use different types of headng styles in my document. I use ALL CAPS for my first level heading and TITLE CASE for second level heading and SENTENCE FOR third level heading. It will be helpful if I have change case options in paragraph sytle
Upper case
Lowera case
Title case
Sentence case
in paragaph style just like "BASIC CHARACTER FORMATS".
Thanks
Regards
arul

I think that's the wrong paradigm.
Styles are for changing the look of text -- not the content. the way change case works (in every app I've ever seen) is by changing the encoding of the text.
FWIW. I have a utility in my "Style Utilities" which can change case based on style: http://in-tools.com/products/plugins/style-utilities/

How do I change the default paragraph style from Body Text?

The default paragraph style in my email setup is Body Text. This does not wrap properly for some recipients, but Paragraph does. How do I change the default so that Paragraph is automatically used when I start a new email?

There are two types of defaults: defaults for all new documents and defaults for the current document. To change the default for any open document make sure no text frame is active and change the formatting as desired in either the Control panel or the Character and Paragraph panels. To change default formatting for new document (those not yet created) do this while no file is open. You can’t change the defaults for several documents at once without a script.

How to? change to different paragraph style only after column/frame break

I'm all over paragraph styles and next styles option, all good, sweet. Love em but...
But when I'm flowing in a long document with multiple text frames on different pages I would like the first paragraph in each of those text frames to be paragraphy style A, then using next styles let it follow on through B, C, etc, till then next time it see's a column/page/frame break character then go back to heading style A.
I can't find a way to do this for love nor money.
I've used objecy styles with paragraphy styles and next style turned on but this only seams to work on the first text box not the remaining text boxes that have flowed on text.
HELP!!!!

Eugene Tyson wrote:
For Paragraph Style A go to the Keep Options in the style, and select to Start on Next Page or Next Column or Next Frame - whichever suits.
Then it automagically does it
If the content being flowed-in is correctly tagged with style names, then this would work.
However, I believe the OP wants any paragraph that follows a flow break to be tagged with a specific style. If this is correct, either a script or a plug-in is probably necessary. in-tools.com has some terrific commercial composition tool products; perhaps one can do at least the first step - assigning a style to a paragraph that follows a break.
In InDesign, assigning specific styles to the subsequent paragraphs based on the Next Style property, requires selecting the paragraphs to be assigned. I'm not sure if there's a plug-in or script that can use the break to trigger the Apply Next Style feature.
Then, of course, is the question of how should this automation work if editing causes text to reflow across breaks. It's possible this could become the "yo-yo" effect that happens when more consecutive paragraphs than can fit in a text container are tagged with the keep options next and previous.

Can I clear all paragraph style overrides at once?

Sometimes when I change a paragraph style, the places where I've applied it don't conform. Why is this?
I end up having to go through the whole document and hitting "clear overrides." Is there an easier way?
Thank you!

Local formatting always trumps a style.
Try using Find/Change, though, searching for the style and replacing with the same style. That might do it.

Vendor text font needs to be changes to appear in PO header.

Hi ,
I am trying to fit some vendor text (P. org level) from vendor master in PO header area.
The PO header area is restricted and i dont want to change my PO form.
So, i can currently fit only 3 - 4 lines of text while i need to fit 6 lines of text.
There must be a way to make the font smaller, but only the vendor master PO text format should get changed, no other default fonts.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Ritika

Hi Lakshman,
Thanks for your reply. I have been looking into it since i posted the question but looks like the font is fine, any smaller and noone will be able to read. And we dont want to touch the PO form too as it will change everything globally which we do not want. That will be the last resort.

Ritika

Change default paragraph style!!

How do I change the default paragraph style? I can't stand double spaces but that's what I am stuck with
I want freeform, not body
Application is Pages 2.0.2
Message was edited by: Spprrw

Welcome to the Apple forums
By default, the Pages developers chose to use 12 point after paragraph spacing which will make it appear as a double space between paragraphs. You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

Adjust auto leading for all paragraphs

Hi-
I want to increase my auto leading from 115% to 125% for all "Normal style"paragraphs in my document.
I know that I usually have to apply the paragraph style to the ones I want changed, but this document has hundreds of paragraphs, I can't do it manually.
I read in another post that the trick is to change the basic paragraph style and then have it as base for the ones I want to change.
I did that, but it does not affect anything other than the paragraphs that apply the styles to manually.
What can I do? Lars

Auto leading amaount is set in the paragraph style definition in the Justification section. If you've manually changed it for some paragraphs it's probably now a local overide that needs to be removed. You should be able to do that using Find/Change and searching for the paragraph style, then replace with the same style. That should remove ALL local overrides, so if you have others, they will be lost.
