Trouble with CS5 InDesign Paragraph Styles

I am creating a new template. I want one style to be "TOC Title", and another to be "TOC Level 1". All my concerns center around the Paragraph Style Options window (Type > Paragraph Styles > Create New Style >(double-click style to modify) )
1. No matter what I do, if I stipulate that "TOC Level 1" has leading (Tabs option, enter a "." or period in the Leader box), then InDesign does this for ALL my paragraph styles.
For the record, under the General option, my "Based On" box is set to "[No Paragraph Style]" for both paragraph styles.
So either I have to live with the TOC title having leading on it, or the TOC Level 1 having none, and in either case having to do something manually to the TOC everytime I use the template.
How can I fix this so that TOC Title has no Leader and TOC Level 1 has a Leader of "." ?
2. How can I set my TOC Title paragraph style so that it centers on the page?
Edit: Two days later and no reply - I would have gladly supplied more information if I did not make the issue clear enough, and I would have even appreciated a simple "Sorry, I don't know." Since it is highly improbable that nobody out there knows ANYTHING about Paragraph Style tabs in Adobe CS5 InDesign, I must conclude that my issue is simply not "in" enough to be considered worthy of attention from the unnamed scores of elitists which must run this forum.

I think the only way I'm going to be able to understand the problem is to see a sample file. Please make a sample, even if it has nothing more than your style definitions that are failing, and post a link to it here.

How to handle paragraph styles in imported text with no tagged paragraph styles

Hi
Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel I have both formats) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
Or how is it possible to change paragraph style when forcing a line break when using text reflow?
I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc. (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it) The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
Then I tried to look into "object styles" and format a text frame on a master page with an object style, and by using a "dilimiter character" forcing the text to start in a new frame when bringing the frame into live on a page. But here I cannot make the "text frame/object style" to apply or to work.
If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you
This picture are illustrating the outcome I would to get to....

If the incoming text does not have styles, or has only one style, there is really not much you can do other than assign styles after the import. If there are recognizable patterns in the formatting, a lot of that can be done with Find/Change, and there are a few scripts floating around that can help automate some of that.
Also, if your styles have a a good "next style" heirarchy built in, you can select large blocks of text (up to the point where applying next style would be incorrect), then right click the style name in the paragraph styles panel and choose apply style and next style (remove overrides). Warning. Removing overrides will remove any locally applied formatting like bold or italics, so local formatting should be converted to character styles first. Applied character styles are not overrides and will be preserved.

InDesign Paragraph Style won't apply / change

0 down vote favorite
Im hoping someone might be able to help me troubleshoot an InDesign question. Im a beginner-to-intermediate user.
I am unable to apply my Paragraph Style to a number of my text boxes. I have tried holding Opt/Alt while choosing the PS with no luck. I have also checked for local overrides and character styles, and there appear to be none. The fly-out menu from the Paragraph Styles menu is almost all greyed-out, so it won't let me select the Clear Overrides option.
However, when I double-click the text box to go into the frame, I am able to select the text directly and then apply the paragraph style to it directly inside the frame. This seems weird; Im hoping there's a way that I can just select the frames normally and apply a paragraph style as usual.
The text came from a Word document that was flowed into each chapter, if that gives any help.
Looking forward to some advice. Cheers, -Ben

P Spier, thank you very much. What is the work around then to achieve this? Simply selecting all the text in all of the threaded frames and applying the Paragraph Style directly to them? Is it possible to select all of the threaded frames at the same time and apply the Paragraph Style to it? Advice for best method of practice is much appreciated.

Written with a specific paragraph style Can I transfer data

In a document in every text frame there are short texts written in paragraph style
the data in this paragraph style can I transfer into a new text frame
I'm doing this process with TOC
Is it possible with a script
If possible specified in the data (1. and 7.) can we transfer the characters with grep

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "test"; //mention your paragraph style name
var mySearch = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
myFrame = myDoc.textFrames.add ({geometricBounds:[".5in",".5in","5.5in","5.5in"]});//textframe will created in the first page of your InDesign document
myFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "CONTENTS\r";
for(i=0; i<mySearch.length; i++)
    var mySearchContent = mySearch[i].contents;
    mySearchContent = mySearchContent.replace(/(\d+)(\t.+?\t)(.+?)(\t\d+)/g, '$1-$3');
    myFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = mySearchContent + "~f" // THİS ERROR 1-A~f2-A~f3-A....
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

Trouble With Opening InDesign and now Photoshop and Illustrator

First off I apologize if this isn't in the correct section. I couldn't find a section specific to my problem since it involves multiple aspects of Adobe products. I was having trouble with InDesign, it kept crashing. So I followed all of the advice I could find on the forums about deleting the preferences and cache information in the Library folder, and that didn't seem to make a difference. So then I thought maybe it needed an update, so I logged into Adobe Application Manager and sure enough, it did. So I clicked on "download" and it stalled there too. Then the manager became unresponsive. I couldn't cancel the update or log out or anything. So then I saw in the forum someone suggested the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool if your manager becomes unresponsive. I ran that and then shut my computer off. When I turned it back on, InDesign started working BUT my Photoshop is completely gone from my system (I never messed with it in the first place since I wasn't having any trouble with it.) And the when I tried to click on Illustrator it said "Do you want to begin your trial?" Huh?
I have had a subscription since 2012, why on earth would it suddenly think that I no longer should have access to these programs? If I log on to my Adobe account it shows my subscription and that it's up to date (last payment was April 5, 2015). The versions I was using were the CS versions that I had downloaded directly from Adobe and when I used to have any trouble or when I got a different computer I could just log into my account and then redownload them. They are no longer showing under my products, so I can't figure out what on earth is going on. The website has changed since the last time I downloaded them, so that partly could be me, but I thought they would at least be showing up under products. I contacted Adobe support and the first person I talked to on chat said "this is clearly a technical issue I am transferring you to someone better suited for this," but that's all he said. And I haven't heard from anyone since so I thought I'd make a topic and see if anyone else out there has had a similar problem.

The versions I am using are the CS6 versions.*

Having trouble with the InDesign cs6 TOC?

I just installed cs6 from the Adobe Cloud, and nearly had a nervous break-down with the TOC. I had all my paragraph styles laid out in my book and created new TOC styles for them. Part of the toc would show come back with the paragraph styles from the book (not what I wanted) and part would be in the TOC style. Totally random! I only had 3 paragraph styles, and I had to fudge and redo all the paragraph styles in the book with the TOC styles, do the TOC and swap again. I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem?

Thanks Tyson, but this is not the case at all. I wish I had done a screen capture but I will try to explain to you what I had.
I avoided nested styles for that one reason and loaded all the styles for the book from chapter 1 so all would be identical.
I had 4 documents in front matter which I named styled as Introduction in the book.
Introduction: 11pts minion pro bold condensed align left (no indent)
TOC-intro Level 1 same as Introduction
8 chapters styled as Chapter-Head
Chapter-Head: 48pts Acens bold align right
TOC-chapterhead: Level 1 11pts Minion pro all caps bold align left (no indent)
Stories under the 8 chapters
Story-Titles: 18pts Minion pro bold align left (no indent)
TOC-storytitles: Level 2 11pts minion pro reg align left with small indent.
This is what I got
The 4 articles in the front-matter were fine except for the last one which had the small indent.
Chapter One came out as chapter-head aligned right
Chapter Two came out as TOC-chapterhead except for bold
All other chapters came out as 48pts Acens but aligned to the left
Most of the story titles came out as 18pts aligned left with indent.
As I redid the toc the story titles came out with the toc style but as I couldn't remove the huge gap created by the chapters and the 48pts, I redid again only to go back to the previous description.
I finally gave everything in the book the styles I wanted in the toc and reloaded all the styles. This time everything came out almost perfect except for the last article which was indented and the 3 first articles page numbers were a 6pt. I could certainly work with that. Then I redid the paragraph styles again in the book and reloaded the styles again.
As you can see everything was scrambled up and I am wondering if my install is faulty somehow. I downloaded CS6 from the Creative Cloud and I am working with Windows 7.

Using "Next style" with the same paragraph style for more than one paragraph

Hi.
I have been using paragraph styles with the "next style" option, it's a huge help. But I need a bit more. So I have the following paragraph structure: ABCCCABCCCAB...
I defined paragraph styles for each kind of paragraph, then in paragraph style A, I added paragraph style B as the next style, and so on. However, when I get to paragraph style C I reach a dilemma. Should I define the next style as the same, or define three paragraph C styles (C1, C2 and C3), link them to each other with next style, and then loop the C3 style into the A style again?
My hope is that there is a way, something like the nested style options, that allows me to define that style C should be used for 3 paragraphs and then the next style becomes style A again.
Thanks.

You just need two styles, almost identical, you can duplicate one. The only
difference is one has the next paragraph c and one has the next paragraph
a. After that I don't see the problem.

InDesign paragraph styles

Is there anyway of altering multiple paragraph style in one go? An example would be to turn off contextual alternatives in every paragraph style without having to go into each one individually.
Many thanks

Ideally you base Para styles upon another style. "Parent and Child"
Para 1 defines the bulk of the project (perhaps)
Para 2 is based on Para 1 as shown it's "Based On" from the general tab.
Any modification to Para 1 carries over to Para 2 excepting attributes which have already been modified.
So, if all (or some) styles were based upon a another style than change to Parent Style.
If no styles are based on another, but could be, consider carefully deleting those, retain formatting during the delete, build them based on and go forward.

Trouble with trial Indesign

I am trying to download the trial Indesign CS6, and it wont open the program once it has been downloaded. I currently have CS2 on my computer...do I need to uninstall my CS2 before Indesign CS6 will work?

Shan_Ry do you receive a specific error message when you try to install InDesign CS6? Which operating system are you using? Finally Creative Suite 2 should not interfer with installing InDesign CS6.
You may also want to review the system requirements for InDesign CS6 to ensure that you meet or exceed the required system requirements. You can find the system requirements for InDesign at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-indesign.html.

Having trouble with CS5 tech support in India: want to contact US support or customer service

I am sorry to post this question, but I have tried everything else I can think of to solve my problem. I think that I am suffering from a minor bug in updater. When I run it, it seems to install everything except Embedder 3.1[sic?]. I called tech support to report the issue. I reached the service center somewhere in India. A very polite individual ran me through an extensive (over an hour) series of diagnostics, including uploading a log of my problem. He had no solution, but said it was not either my hardware or software. I figured that the bug would be reported, and Adobe would get back to me sooner or later with a fix.
Unfortunately, the service center does not seem to have a procedure in place to deal with a problem for which there is no known cause, or solution. Three days later, I received a follow up call. Another hour on the phone, running diagnostics. Same result as before. Three days later, another call from a level 1 tech support representative. Same questions. At this point, I requested to speak to a supervisor. A week later, I tried to explain to the supervisor that they needed a procedure to programmers, or someone who keeps track of unsolved bugs. Guess what, I'm getting called again by level 1 tech support, with the same diagnostic routines. Speaking of infinite loops.
No one will put me in touch with someone at Adobe, in the US, to whom I can report the procedural issue. I really appreciate the follow up, but the pointlessness is driving me crazy. If I decline to run the same diagnostic for the fourth time, they want to close the case. I have been using some of these products since Photoshop 2. I am at least marginally competent on a Mac. Can someone tell me how to contact Adobe in the US to give a real live person feedback on what I perceive to be a procedural problem. Every number I try puts me back in India. Finally, and with all due respect, most of the representatives, while very polite, have trouble speaking and understanding English (especially colloquial English words like "sure", "OK" and "right").
Bottom line, I would like to speak to someone in the US about the tech support service. Their effort is good, but the results are driving me crazy.

I realize this. When calling prepaid cus service it only gives you the option to input your #. If you dont the system hangs up on you. When I input my number the system doesnt recognize it and hangs up on me.

Trouble with CS5 off-line help install

Hello,
I can't access help files after having recently purchased and installed several copies of CS5 Web Premium.
Here's the situation: military site with closed (non-internet) network needs CS5 to replace existing CS3 installation. Windows 32-bit. A stand-alone internet computer with cd-r drive is available, but I can't install anything on it. See the problem?
I've already read a number of threads on this subject and all the relevant KB articles that I could find (including 84215 and 83703). I downloaded the PDF manuals individually (much later I found http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for- creative-suite-5-pdf-and-html.html, which points to all of them in one place - that should be linked from the support site). Adobe phone support could not help beyond suggesting download of the PDFs.
My developers are used to being able to hit F1 and search help, specifically in Flash for ActionScript language reference. The external PDF manuals, while useful, are not an option for this purpose - just too clumsy.
As I understand it, the first time Adobe Community Help is run, it can optionally download all html help files for offline use. Since I can't connect the development computers to the internet, I need to download an archive of those files from elsewhere.
It seems like I need to either:
a) Find a magical adobe.com page with an archive of the html help files that I can download
-or-
b) Go home and download (on my mac) the applicable portions of adobe.com and burn to CD
     (e.g. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/index.html)
-then-
c) Find the appropriate file location to install these files on my development computers
d) Update any TOC or preference files so that the CS5 apps will know that the files are installed locally.
I could also just download the html files and put them on an internal web server, but this isn't preferred since then it wouldn't be connected to the CS5 apps, unless I can point them to an arbitrary web address for when my users hit F1 for help.
It seems like this would be a problem not just for military users but for any company that uses development computers not connected to the internet.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
- Jim Grisham, United States Navy
P.S.
Not sure if it's related, but in Flash Professional CS5 when attempting to request help from the menu I receive the following error:
<Windows Internet Explorer>
Cannot find 'file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Flash/CS5 /AS3LR/index.html
I think that's after telling Community Help to work offline. In Photoshop, I get no such error, just a message that I need to access the internet to download help.

Hi Jim: you could try either approach (either hosting on your own intranet or copy the local help files to each machine). Here's some info that may help:
1. the Help application relies on a small XML file called the Help Configuration file (.helpcfg). There is one for each product located in the user's Local Store.
On Windows, look in C:\Documents and Settings\ * USER NAME* \ApplicationData\ chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1\Local Store\HelpCfg\en_US
On Mac, look in USER NAME (Home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1 > Local Store > HelpCfg> en_US
2. The Help Config file tells the app two very important things:
Where to look for online content
Where to look for download content
There are a few other variables managed by the file but those two are the most important.
3. Open the Help Config with a text editor and look for the following property: baseUrl="http://help.adobe.com/"
4. Now look a little further down in the file and you should see a number of "package" elements. Each package represents a distinct help book (i.e. "Using Flash CS 5"). The path variable is where the online HTML is located. For example, path="en_US/Flash/CS5/Using"
5. Look further below and you will see a variable called, downloadContent. For example, downloadContent="client.Flash_CS5_Using_en-us.zip"
6. If you put these three elements together (baseURL + path + downloadContent), you can parse the location for each downloadable help archive like so: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/CS5/Using/client.Flash_CS5_Using_en-us.zip
So what does this mean for you? What you could do is manually download the help files and host them on your own intranet -- you can then alter the baseURLs in the Help Configs to point to your own server. This would require editing each and every HelpConfig file so this may not be scalable for a very large team.
Or, you could go home, fire up the Help app, download the Help content outside of your network and then copy the entire Help folder back into the Local Store for each user. The app will automatically default to local Help if it cannot detect an internet connection so your team should be able to access just fine as long as the files are in the Help folder of your Local Store. No additional edits to the config file required.
For your convenience, here are a few additional package URLs relevant for the Web Suite - these are the default packages that a user is prompted to download on first launch. There are many other packages defined in the help configs so there may be additional books relevant to your team.

Trouble with Adobe Bridge CS5.5 for Mac Lion Photo downloader

Hi, I am having trouble with CS5.5 Bridge's photdownloader when I am trying to choose a folder location.
Im using Lion / Mac
When I try to choose say an external drive or another folder location it will freeze up and stay on "Choose" the button flashes on and off but when i try to click it it will not respond or select the desired file location
The photodownloader does not respond to any other commands..i have to force quit it..yes i have re-booted..re-started and problem remains..
The only way i can download photos is by choosing the first file option of the pictures file on my harddrive which is not want I wish to do..i have noticed that this started happening after the Raw update..was wondering if this is affecting Photodownloader..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..thank you

Thank you, SG, for clarifying which OS's this will work with.
I agree with Jennie - the beauty of "get photos from camera" is that it takes 2 steps out of the workaround you mention above. Personally, I'm okay living with 6.4.1, as I have an older camera. I won't be happy if one of the push updates re-updates me to 6.5 though. I wouldn't want to redo the reinstallation of the new version. This method will not work for any of my clients or students though - they normally can't comfortably follow the technicality of downgrading, and some have newer cameras and would need the 6.5 version. (I don't believe in betas for my clients, and neither do they, for the most part)
I guess I should thank Adobe - some of my clients have needed tech support to perform the downgrade (SO many people aren't comfortable technically), and some of my clients needed to be retaught the workaround SG mentions. Adobe's flub has actually made me a little money - which I'd rather not have to make this way.
SG's workaround does work and makes sense - but for my clients with hundreds of images at a time, who have to rename items, add copyright info, & etc., this more than doubles their work-time for the start of their workflow. I hope Adobe gets that GM version out soon.
BTW - this issue supports an argument I've hadfor years regarding "PUSH" updates. I always tell my clients and students not to do them until they research the update. Because of what I do, I do have to install them personally, but I'm grateful I'm comfortable fixing things myself.

Do paragraph style overrides work differently in CS3 vs CS4?

Hi All-
I’m in the process of moving a workflow from CS3 to CS4, and have run into an unexpected problem. In the existing CS3 workflow, we receive copyedited text with Word paragraph styles applied, then import this text into our InDesign template. This template has all the same paragraph style names as the Word file, so we tell InDesign to use the InDesign style definitions in the Import options. So, for instance, the Word style for Para_Text is Times New Roman 12pt, and the InDesign style for Para_Text is Helvetica Neue 8pt, and on Import InDesign automatically changes it to Helvetica Neue 8pt. This is as we want it.
Things fall apart, however, when we import the same text into the same template in InDesign CS4. It still applies the InDesign style definition, but has additional overrides to make it look like the Word style definition. So, it recognizes that the underlying paragraph style should be Helvetica Neue 8pt, but it then preserves Times New Roman 12pt as an override. If I select the text and do Clear Overrides, it’ll revert to the Helvetica Neue 8pt we want it in, but for other reasons that solution is less than ideal.
I think I can come up with a rather kludgy way around this, but I’m trying to understand exactly why we’re getting the different behavior in CS4. It seems like paragraph style conflicts are being handled in a different way in CS3 than CS4 – in CS3, if the InDesign paragraph style specifically spelled out a font, that would dominate on import; now, in CS4, it’s allowing the Word paragraph style to seep through as an override. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
-Nate

Hi Chris.
Good news. I cant tell you how happy i am for all your help ;-) and you other guys.
The latest Eizo 5.2.1 software fixed the problem on all 3 Eizo monitors.. Weeee
I'm back to normal.
Now i just have another damn problem started not long ago ;(
My Photoshop CS3 and CS4 keeps crashing on me after a wile of work ???
I tried everything. Deleted preffs etc. etc.
It have been working for long long time but suddenly it keeps crashing all the time.
I tried to remove some new plug-ins, but it was not that.
Only thing i did also was to install new ram.
Upgraded from 10GB to 14GB in all our Mac Pro.
So after i tried to switch the ram around to check if some was bad.
Also run some memory software but everything came out right.
So now the only thing left is that Photoshop dosent like ram between 14GB & 16GB.
Under was fine and i never tried over 16 gigs.. weird
Any ide what could corse this ?
