Styling in INDESIGN

Hello,
This is quite a tough question to ask written.
I am trying to find a quicker way to stylize a row of numbers in my inDesign file. Currently I am making each number (see Visual attached) a mustard yellow by using character styles, but this requires me to highlight every number individually and set the style to it. Is there a quicker way to get these all under the same character style without having to do them individually and also without using tables.. THANKS

Add a nested style to your paragraph style. Create a character style containing only the color. Use a nested style to add Yellow up to one tab. done.

Applescript find/change problem

I have some text which needs to be styled in InDesign CS4 which has a bunch of extraneous tags ( eg. , , etc.). I have customised the FindChangeList.txt file that supports the FindChangeByList.applescript file to do things like:
{find what:""}
{change to:"^S"}
which can then be picked up by a nested style. All good so far.
Problem: the applescript will just not 'see' the strings or in FindChangeList.txt. It treats them like they aren't there. I can do it using the find/replace within InDesign, it works fine there, but my problem is that I have hundreds of pieces of copy to import and I'd like to automate as much as possible. Using GREP has the same effect, ie. works in find/replace within InDesign, but not with applescript.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really killing me at the moment. Thanks!
Content of FindChangeList.txt follows. The command in the final line works, the command in the second-last line doesn't.
(FYI the second line of code contains 'InDesign CS3' regardless of whether I use CS3 or CS4. I guess they didn't update the file)
--FindChangeList.txt
--A support file for the InDesign CS3 AppleScript FindChangeByList.applescript
--This data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records.
--The format of each record in the file is:
--findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptions<tab>description
--Where:
--<tab> is a tab character
--findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use).
--findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences.
--changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences.
--findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options.
--description is a description of the find/change operation
--Very simple example:
--text {find what:"--"} {change to:"^_"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash.
--More complex example:
--text {find what:"^9^9.^9^9"} {applied character style:"price"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price".
--All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "find what" and "change to" properties.
text {find what:""} {change to:"^S"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all bold and replace with non-breaking space.
text {find what:""} {change to:"^S"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find all italics and replace with non-breaking space.

You probably should post this in the ID Scripting forum. Here's an example of some simple AppleScript find and changes that might help:
--find and replace keyboard formating
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
 --first clear the preferences
 set find text preferences to nothing
 set change text preferences to nothing
 --replaces non breaking space with space
 set find what of find text preferences to "^s"
 set change to of change text preferences to "<0020>"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces soft return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^n"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces return space with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p<0020>"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 2 returns with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces return, tab, return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "^p^t^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces space, return with return
 set find what of find text preferences to "<0020>^p"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^p"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces space, space with space
 set find what of find text preferences to "<0020><0020>"
 set change to of change text preferences to "<0020>"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 3 tabs with tab
 set find what of find text preferences to "^t^t^t"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^t"
 set myFoundItems to change text
 --replaces 2 tabs with tab
 set find what of find text preferences to "^t^t"
 set change to of change text preferences to "^t"
 set myFoundItems to change text

GREP #123456 or #123456-78

Hi, I am trying to use GREP to change the character style of numbers that are six digits and follow a pound sign (ie. #123456) or six digits that follow a pound sign and are followed by a dash and two more digits (ie. #123456-78).
I have looked for information on GREP styling in indesign but I can't really find anything that's more than "5 cool things with GREP" or "10 ways GREP can help". Can anyone suggest anything more comprehensive?

If you want to include the # sign I would use #\d{6}(-\d{2})*(?=\s) which is a little more compact (the numbers in {} tell how many you need to match, the (-\d{2})* says it should match the # plus six digits and the dash plus two more if they are there, but they don't need to be, and the (?=\s) says whatever is matched needs to be followed by some sort of whitespace which prevents matches to other odd strings that are part of a longer string. You can add a lookbehind for whitespace as well as long as your # sign isn't the first character in the story. In that case there would be no whitespace before and there would be no match for the first number.
Best reference for GREP I know is GREP in InDesign - O'Reilly Media

Photoshop CC: Copy CSS doesn't work when text is styled as paragraph

I'm using the most recent version of photoshop, CC-14.0, on a Mac running OSX 10.8.4
I'm finding that the "copy css" function does not work if a paragraph is styled with a custom paragraph style. In other words any text that is not styled as "basic paragraph" or "basic paragraph+".
I can copy css from a text block with a custom paragraph style, but the css is wrong. It doesn't reflect the attributes I have set up in my custom paragraph style. Instead it writes out the default "basic paragraph" style. If I copy the css from a text block styled as "basic paragraph+" it writes the css correctly.
This is disappointing because it defeats the purpose of being able to create paragraph and character styles (like in InDesign).
This is a bug or oversight, right? Is there a reason why it should work this way?

Hello Sally,
First, I have only heard/read good things about the book Steve recommends. It is on my to buy list one day. Been awaiting a long deserved vaction to pick it up to read.
I approach XML files pretty much like I do any text file I am sent in that I will import or copy/paste a text file into a frame in ID and begin setting my styles. With XML, though, I first clean it up, move closing tags up to their logical close lines, remove spurious codes that mean something in HTML but don't necessarily belong in the XML file (like &#x2019 which is an apostrophe so I do a search and replace. But for   which is a non-breaking space I simply search and replace with a regular space in general), and make sure the XML validates.
Validation is much like making sure an HTML page is formed properly. I use an XML editor (XML BluePrint) and a text editor (UltraEdit) for these tasks. If I had to only have one or the other, I suppose the XML editor is what I would use.
I always show the import options when I import the XML and make sure that I link to the file.
So once a sample of the XML is on a page in ID (via File | Import XML), I highlight text within a tag, say like in your example above, the Providor name, and make it like I want and then create a new style. I generally name the styles as per the XML tag. Later on, that makes mapping tags to styles a little easier.
Once I set up all the styles preliminarily, I map the tags to styles. You can do that either via the Tags palette or via the Structure Pane that will appear once the XML is imported. In both cases, it is found via the flyout menu at the top right of their respective windows.
After mapping my styles to the tags, I select the root element in the Structure Pane (the topmost element. In your sample above it is "providors" and delete it. This removes the XML in your ID file. But the styles and tags are still present.
Then I import the XML again and look to makes sure all the tags/elements are styled as intended. I then correct any errors/ommissions. Then...I'll delete the XML again and import the full XML file.
I can upload what I did with your XML sample above so you can compare it to your source file if you would like. You would then see how/where I moved tags. Now, moving the tags is only "necessary" to avoid all the extra blank paragraphs. That can be accomplished by ID's search/replace, too. But I like to start out with the XML cleaned up, so I take the few minutes to do it.
Take care, Mike

How can I export a stylesheet (either CSS or XSLT) with XML from indesign?

Hi,
I am using indesign CS4. I want to export style sheet whether it is CSS or XSLT file with xml.
I try to get it but can't.
Also the XML i am exporting does not styles that has been applied by me while creating the file in Indesign.
Please help me out by telling me the way how can i get a stylesheet and also how can I embed that style sheet with XML so that my XML file looks similiar to the indesign file.
Thanks,
Choudhary Nafees Ahmed

I am using indesign CS4. I want to export style sheet whether it is CSS or XSLT file with xml.
CSS is not an XML style sheet, it's an HTML style sheet. "Export to HTML" will export an empty stylesheet for the paragraph and character styles. ID cannot convert its (very advanced) typographic capabilities to the (very limited) CSS notation, and thus it defaults to exporting the names only.
XSLT is not an XML style sheet either; it's a transformation format (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt).
I try to get it but can't.
Also the XML i am exporting does not styles that has been applied by me while creating the file in Indesign.
XML Export does not export anything except the items you tagged with the Auto-tag feature, or you tagged yourself. If you need your styles tagged, use Map Styles to Tags (http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/indesign/mapping.html).
XML has almost nothing to do with styling -- ideally, XML describes document structure while styles describe formatting.

INDESIGN GLITCH: Creating an XML file from Indesign Layout - Issue "Using more than one line of GREP" & "Map Styles to Tags"

I currently create XML from InDesign CC by Mapping Style to Tags.
- The Paragraph Styles are manually apply to text. These styles include multiple lines of GREP to automatically apply character styles.
- I map some of the paragraph and character styles to prebuilt tags that have the same name "Map Styles to Tags".
I have found through trouble-shooting that InDesign is unable to "Map Styles to Tags" for more than one line of GREP. I therefore have to chose which line of GREP to automatically tag and which lines to manually tag.
Please can anyone help, I need to automatically map tags to at least two character styles in one paragraph via GREP.
Thanks,

OK. The best I can suggest is running a Find/Change like this:
Which will actually apply the character style to the italics (and I would do the bold as well just to make certain). Then run the Map Styles to Tags again, using the Apply by Name. Which will tag the italics.
I don't know why ID can map to the bold and not the italic character style. It either should do them both (as in this instance) or none at all as the character styles are not actually applied by the grep, just the styling from the character styles.

Sloooowwwww text entry in InDesign CS5

I've got a truly bizarre behavior that is driving me crazy! About midway through a document, text editing becomes painfully slow. I can type a sentence and it takes several seconds for the cursor to catch up. This happens whether I edit in place, or type in Story Editor.
Here is where it gets very bizarre. In any text BEFORE this point in the document, text entry and editing is fast, clean, and efficient. The point in the document where the change from fast to slow takes place stays the same, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I DELETE SOME TEXT. In other words, I've found the precise paragraph where the slow typing starts. If I delete that paragraph, then the NEXT paragraph shifts up and becomes the start of slow editing. Paragraphs before and after this point are all styled with the same body paragraph style, so it has nothing to do with the style itself. In fact ANY style below the "magical point" in the document has very slow typing. Any style or paragraph above this point types and edits fine. It almost seems like this magical point happens after a certain number of characters in the document. If I delete text above this point, the magical point shifts further down the document text.
Thinking I had a corrupted file, I exported the entire file as IDML (InDesign Markup) and reimported it. I get THE SAME BEHAVIOR IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. The file is about 11 pages long and consists of one story that runs through threaded text frames. There are about 5 images that have been anchored to text. (But not near the "magical point" where text editing becomes as slow as molasses.)
I've tried making new documents, changing styles, loading different master pages, deleting the images, deleting the master page, etc. and nothing affects this issue. And yet I can create a new document, fill it with a hundred pages of placeholder text and I don't get this behavior anywhere in the document.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?? It's MADDENING!!

This is definitely an issue in the Windows environment that has absolutely no impact in a Mac environment. I was just introduced to it, and I'm really scratching my head. I do most of my layout on a really nice Intel Mac using ID CS5, and I'm currently working on a huge project with multiple team members working on a variety of computers. I was unaware until yesterday that one of the team members who is working on a Windows 7 laptop was having problems making text edits in documents that work just fine on my Mac. There was a severe lag when typing. She could go get a coffee while waiting for one simple typed sentence to appear on the screen. We opened up system resources and everything is maxing out while text is being typed, CPU, memory, network. It's a real stumper. This is not a simple machine, it was purchased to be a graphic design computer and has really good specs, but just to make sure it wasn't the computer, I tried it on two other PCs. One is my laptop that I freelance on and the other is a fellow designer's machine that has absolutely amazing specs (actually better than my Mac), both running Windows 7. On all three computers I have the same typing lag, though I can reduce the lag some by turning off everything that saps ID performance (auto preflight, screen redraw, dynamic spelling, balance columns, etc.). The files are on a server, so I even tried copying them to the local harddrive and severing link and InCopy connections. I've tried turning off balance columns and still the lag. The lag is most prominent in a fairly complex table and I've noticed it is worse when editing text that is on a 10 percent black background.
I can provide a file to play with if anyone wants to see the behavior. I can reproduce it on any computer with a Windows environment (both CS5 and CS5.5). I would appreciate a fix either in the way my documents are created or for the app because I'm doing hundreds of these documents for the next couple years and this lag is a severe problem in our workflow.

How can I export table and cell styles to use in another InDesign document?

I've been looking…and looking but can't find out how to export table styles within InDesign CC. If there is a load table styles option within the panel, it stands to reason there should be an export. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Frank, John's solution is it. But that also requires that you have those old files easily on hand to access. Maybe even searching for them in the future, 3 months down the road, could be a pain. You can always save a Library for that file and drag some of those styled elements into that library. Save the library in a place that you will keep access to and readily pull assets from. In the future doc open that library and drag the styled element into your new document and the styles are now in the new doc to reuse. I have a library saved just for tables.

Linking data/tables in a indesign document?

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible but....
I got this product catalogue, all the prices/data is from another indesign document, which is in a huge list/table. (which have been styled)
My question; Is it possible, if I delete a price data/row in the catalogue - than it automatically delete the data/row in the another doc?? I hope you understand!
Or any other ways round?
If you don't understand, please write..
Thanks!

Maybe. Sort of.
You need to tell us more though, like the version of ID that you use.

Very strange anomaly in PDFs generated from InDesign CS5

This is going to take some explaining, so bear with me. I have a bog standard InDesign file, same as every other file I've handled since we upraded to CS5. The file features lots of text in a 2-column format, which has been styled using a defined paragraph style sheet. On generating a PDF of the file for printing, a couple of random chunks of text (as in about two-thirds of one line in separate places) appeared to be bold. Initially, I assumed it was because they were in 4-colour black (it had that kind of appearance), but rechecking the file showed that the text was clean - the only thing was that the paragraph style applied had been deviated from slightly by the application of a different tracking value. So nothing there. As the original source of the text was a placed InCopy file, I also extracted that and viewed its XML, again, it showed no obvious differences applied to the text that appeared bold. Cleaning the paragraph style in InDesign, however, (alt shift click) resolved the problem.
Wanting to know more, I took the PDF into Illustrator, and there the reason for the bold text became obvious. Those sentence fragments had the same letters repeated and pasted over the top three or four times. Even more interesting, if in InDesign I changed the format from 2 to 3 columns (thereby forcing the text to reflow), the PDF worked perfectly. Switching back to the 2-column format made the problem come back again.
Now I have never seen anything like this, and I am stumped as to what might be causing it. I can't see what might have been applied to the text in InDeisgn to generate this as an outcome. Has anyone got any ideas???
Here is a screen shot of the text in the PDF:
And here is a screen shot of the text in Illustrator, showing the repeated characters that were tacked up to create this effect:

I didn't need to export to INX. This happened to random lines of text, and checking in Acrobat Pro revealed the text strings were doubled.
Nice one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3299371 mentions this problem and the OP could solve it himself. Doesn't mention how tho'

Anchoring objects to text in InDesign CS5.0

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a heavily styled book with lots of photos and charts to Kindle. When I export to Kindle, it's a mess. Is it possible to anchor objects to text in CS5? I know CS5.5 can do it, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out in CS5.
Any helpful hints for making this conversion as easy as possible ... and without knowing any HTML would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I highly recommend Elizabeth Castro's ebook to learn the basics of creating EPUB files—"EPUB Straight to the Point"
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
Here is how she suggests you do it in InDesign CS5:
Place the cursor in the flow of your book where you want to illustration to go (at the beginning of a paragraph).
Press Return to create a separate paragraph for the illustration
Apply an Illustration paragraph style. She suggests setting autoleading so the paragraph expands to the height of the illustration.
Choose File > Place to place the illustration in that paragraph.
If you need a caption, press return to create a new paragraph and apply the Caption style.

InDesign refuses to import Word doc

Hello.
Ran into a strange one today. I have 27 word docs to assemble into a book. Most of them import (Command "D") perfectly. But 6 of the docs have an end note styled into a table. When i import these i get the import options box but when i'm finished there the rainbow wheel comes up and then... nothing.
On my import options dialogue box i have everything on the "Include" field checked, For formatting i have "Remove Styles" checked and local formatting preserved. I've also tried it with Preserve Formatting from Text and Tables but it's the same result.
This isn't a huge deal because I can spend a little extra time and just reassemble the tables by hand in InDesign. But what's got me doubly perplexed is that when i go to copy the content from the Word doc and paste it into InDesign all the formatting is retained except for "superscript" My client has his footnotes marked in superscripted arabic numerals. But when i paste them into the InDesign document they are lowercase, full-size roman numerals.
So I think there must be some import preference somewhere that's making this happen. Any ideas?

Having some similar issues in regards to font attributes that are very strange to me. I hope it's something obvious that you can point to. When i import some Word documents into an InDesign CS4 document the font families are changed. The original Word document uses an Arial font with local overrides for bold and italics. When i import it I am told that "Calbri" is missing in four different flavors: regular, bold, italic and bold italic. But Calbri is not anywhere in the original document. No problem right, I mean just use the Missing Font dialogue box to replace the fonts with the ones used in the InDesign document (Cronos MM). But even though i've specified the fonts that are to be replaced what comes in is ONLY Cronos regular and even though i replaced bold with bold everything is of the regular weight. Bleh.
And when i copy from the original Word doc (Arial font) and paste it into InDesign it by default pastes it as Times (TT) and again all formatting is lost.
Is my InDesign CS4 set up wrongly? Is there some preference hidden away that's tweaking all of this? I know i'm asking a lot of questions, including the original tables import question, but if anyone has any insight i would kiss your feet.

I think that I can gin up some rough answers for you; no foot-worship, please. In reverse order, because your last questions are the least indeterminite:
And when i copy from the original Word doc (Arial font) and paste it into InDesign it by default pastes it as Times (TT) and again all formatting is lost.
I have pasting set up to be stripped of all styles; I paste raw text only. You might not be pasting raw text; the setting is in the Clipboard Handling section of the preferences. If you are pasting raw text, then look inside your Basic Paragraph style; I'd bet that when you paste you are acquiring the settings of Basic Paragraph. To prevent this, only paste text into a text frame where there is already styled text.
The original Word document uses an Arial font with local overrides for bold and italics. When i import it I am told that "Calbri" is missing in four different flavors: regular, bold, italic and bold italic. But Calbri is not anywhere in the original document. No problem right, I mean just use the Missing Font dialogue box to replace the fonts with the ones used in the InDesign document (Cronos MM). But even though i've specified the fonts that are to be replaced what comes in is ONLY Cronos regular and even though i replaced bold with bold everything is of the regular weight.
Um, do you have any footnotes, endnotes, TOC, or index in these Word docs? You can highlight all the text in Word and change it to Arial or Cronos or whatever, but there are some Word features (for example, automatically generated footnote numbers) that are given styles that are carefully hidden from the end user. You have to dig really deep into Word in order to find 'em. They can use whatever font is specified in the style.
Also, I think I must be misreading your post, or you must have posted something misleading, because I can't tell if your Word doc is set in Arial or Cronos. It sounds like you're trying to replace Arial Bold with Cronos Bold with Find Font in ID and getting Arial Bold replaced with Cronos Regular. Which is odd, but I don't want to try explaining that until I'm sure I understand your question.
So, you're removing styles, but preserving overrides. That will keep the manually applied italics and bold, but you'll lose all of the styles. You must be doing this on purpose. What do you get out of it? Because, if you're stripping all styles, then the formatting applied is either coming from InDesign or coming from Word. If it's coming from ID, you should ask yourself "what's in my paragraph styles?" because that is where Calibri will be hiding. If it's coming from Word, you should ask yourself "what is being hidden by the "Normal" style?" Because if your Normal style is Arial text, it's getting stripped out when you place the document.
I really can't figure out your initial question at all. I would guess that, going back to the beginning of my post, you have ID set up to copy styles and formatting on your clipboard. I've always hated that and have no idea how it works, but I would guess that the superscript footnote numbers are not actually superscript numbers with styles manually applied, but more Word auto-symbol styling that is concealed from the end user. That kind of stuff crashes InDesign - it also crashes Word too, when it gets even a tiny bit broken.
