Two more options in the paragraph styles panel

I would like two options in the paragraph styles panel.
1.
The posibility to set the 'Sort by name' option as a default or persistent
2.
The ability to label the styles with colors

Let me second the motion for a persistent "Sort by name" option for the Paragraph Styles panel.
In addition, somebody at Abobe "improved" the Paragraph style "Basic Character Formats" menu for CS6 by sabotaging the natural progression of tabbing directly from setting the *Font Size* to setting the *Leading* amount. Why would anyone at Adobe think that going from *font size* to *kerning* is an improvement for design professionals?

JS Accessing the Paragraph Styles Panel Menu?? PLEASE HELP!

I haven't heard anything yet about this topic, can anyone help me?
Hi all,
I'm hoping you can help me with is, I'm about to tear my hair out! I'm using JavaScript in InDesign CS3 (PC). I have three heading scripts that I wrote that go through a series of actions when clicked, and I need to be be attached to the appropriate paragraph styles. This is so the user will receive a certain look and feel when they click the style, but they won't know a script ran at all, they'll think it's just another paragraph style.
I ran the menu id script from the InDesign Scripting Guide, and it says that the root ID should be "Paragraph Style Panel Menu", however, that is not working. HELP! How can I get InDesign to reference the existing Paragraph Style Panel Menu?
THANK YOU! Code below:
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var setpath = "~/Application Data/Adobe/InDesign/Version 5.0/Scripts/Scripts Panel/";
var myScript1 = new File(setpath + "Heading 1.jsx");
var myScriptAction1 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("InD - Heading 1");
var myEventListener1 = myScriptAction1.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript1, false);
var myScript2 = new File(setpath + "Heading 2.jsx");
var myScriptAction2 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("InD - Heading 2");
var myEventListener2 = myScriptAction2.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript2, false);
var myScript3 = new File(setpath + "Heading 3.jsx");
var myScriptAction3 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("InD - Heading 3");
var myEventListener3 = myScriptAction3.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript3, false);
try{
var myScriptMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Paragraph Style Panel Menu");
myScriptMenu.title;
catch (myError){
var myScriptMenu = app.menus.add("$ID/Paragraph Style Panel Menu");
var myScriptMenuItem1 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction1);
var myScriptMenuItem2 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction2);
var myScriptMenuItem3 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction3);

Is this what you are after? Don't know how it relates to your sample code though.

Keyboard shortcuts for functions inside paragraph styles panel possible?

I would like to assign keyboard shortcuts for functions inide the paragraph styles panel in PS CS6.
It seems that no option to do this is exposed - ist this correct?

That's an interesting approach and it made me aware about menu item insertation - but unfortunately none of the suggested works.
Clear overrides when executed by button can work both on selections of text and on complete text blocks, the recorded version of
pressing the button disregards that there's a selection and therefore only works globally. The menu insertation method can not deal
with existing selections either - it's entry is greyed out in the actions panel when portions of the text are selected.

Paragraph Styles panel has gone blank

Hi there,
I am using InDesign CS3 on Windows, and encountered the following problem:
All of a sudden, the Paragraph Styles panel has gone completely blank (meaning grey), like it has nothing in it. Restart doesn't help. It seems like some sort of a bug. Did any one else had this happening? How to solve this?
Thanks,
Ola

So I tried it and it completely sp;ved the problem! Thanks a lot!

InDesign CS6: How do I set Character Color to Unspecified/Undefined in the Paragraph Style Options?

Is there a way to create a Paragraph Style that leaves the Character Color unspecified? I have a bunch of existing text frames containing characters of various colors. When I apply the Paragraph Style, the text is changed to black. I want the text color to remain unchanged; that is, I want the Paragraph Style's Character Color attribute undefined. How do I do this?
All of the text frames in this case have their Character Style set to [None]. The text colors were applied individually, not via the use of Character Styles.

If you apply the color to the characters via Character styles then the colors will be unchanged when the Paragraph style is applied. Like this:

Where are the paragraph style tools in Indesign CC2014?

Hi! I've just started using Id through Creative Cloud on a new computer (have been using CC CS6 for two years), and the installer gave me CC2014 rather than CS6. So this is a question only about CC2014.
Where has the paragraph styles window gone? Specifically, how can I edit, create and organise paragraph styles, and how can I get a window up on the main screen with all the styles laid out? All these things were easy to find in CS6, but I can't track them down in CC2014. The only thing I get (and that with a bit of customization). is a drop-down menu in the main toolbar, which allows me to choose from existing options on an existing document.
There is no Paragraph Styles option under Windows>Styles.
There is no Paragraph Styles option under Type.
The only Paragraph window which appears is designed for editing text as you go along, not for applying styles.
The Help options all point me back to the entry for CS6, and tell me to go to Type>Paragraph Styles (which doesn't exist).
I can't get a window up on the main screen to apply styles instantly from a list. I only get that dropdown menu, which has no further options.
Can anyone either point me to some up-to-date guidelines or explain where all the paragraph options have gone and how I can use them? Alternatively, can I revert to CS6? This was easy and intuitive before, and now it's neither...
Thanks!

Yes, that did it. All the old menu options have reappeared. I don't know why they were hidden in the first place - these were things I never needed to set up on either of my previous computers.
Thank you very much!

How to change the paragraph style of every paragraph that only contains an anchored object?

Hi,
I have a document in word that needs to be converted into indesign. The document containts instructions, each step followed by an image.
I've managed to import the document into Indesign, and applied a paragraph style with numbering to everything (text an image).
Now, how to change the the paragraph style of every paragraph that only contains a image? I need to get rid of the numbering.
Thanks in advance.

Create two Paragraph Styles and name them Image and Non-Image. Apply the paragraph styles manually to the text containing image and not containing images.

How are Title styles sorted in The Title Styles panel?

The Title Styles panel has many varied styles but I am unable to determine how they are sorted. It doesn't seem like they're alphabetically sorted. And... they doesn't appear to be a highlight around the font style of the style visible in the Titler main panel. Can someone shed some light on this subject.

My only observation is that they're sorted in the order they were created. Meaning, if I create more, the newest is always at the end.
I don't know if there is any way to change that.

Muse keeps crashing when I expand the Bullet Styles panel

Running Muse CC 2014.1.1.6, CL 785894 on OS X 10.9.5
I have multiple Muse files for my website and one contains a bullet style. I copied text containing the style from one file to another. When I expanded the Bullet Styles panel, I received the following error prompt. Now whenever I expand that panel, it crashes every time.
I can still go back to the Muse file containing the original bullet style and apply it freely. I tried a brand new Muse file and pasted a text box with the style applied. When I attempt to use the Bullet Styles panel again, I get the following error:
The style I attempted to apply was "BulletList" { Level 1– color: GVblueWeb + size: 18.00 + bullet: [outlined circle] }
The color I used is the same in both files. Not sure if it's related or conflicts, but I also have a paragraph style in each file called "bulletList" (from before Muse supported lists)
Any suggestions?

Please send us all the involved .muse files at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the files are larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use Dropbox, please be certain to include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since Dropbox does not include it in the sharing invite they send.) Thanks.

Hi Denise, we need more information on what you are trying to do before we can help on your specific issue.
You can look at this document, which covers nested styles: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSE33E49F9-94CE-4043-AA51-4761408A63F4a.html

Confused With Dreamweaver CC and the CSS Styles Panel!

Hi all
I'm relativley new to the CC but I'm having alot of fun learning how to use dreamweaver, But now comes where I get confused. I'm learning from Lynda.com "Dreamweaver and WordPres Core Concepts" and as I follow the tutorial regarding the actual structure of wordpress themes I have different panels to the tutour.
As you can see from the pics I have a different set up and this makes it very hard to follow the tutour.
I have tried the windows menu but there is no CSS Style Panel, plus I have media, sources, selectors, and properties. Apparently the tutour is also usin CC.
Can someone please guide me on how to learn dreamweaver with up to date tutourials....

I'm not familiar with the Dreamweaver/WordPress videos on lynda.com, but if the tutorials are showing the CSS Styles panel, it means that it was recorded on Dreamweaver CS6 or earlier.
The CSS Designer panel replaces the old CSS Styles panel in DW CC. Since you have access to lynda.com, I suggest that you take a look at James Williamson's CSS Designer overview in Dreamweaver CC Essential Training.

New stroke options for the layer style "Stroke"

Hi,
The new stroke options are fantastic where you can edit gaps, align and corners. And I love the ability to add layer styles to groups which makes it much easier to work with separate parts in a group that should be treated as a common object.
BUT! Why haven't you updated the stroke (layer style) options to include these new awesome stroke features? I would love to be able to make dashed strokes as a layer style that can be applied to groups, and I don't see why this should be excluded as an option.
Thanks for an otherwise great application!
On twitter: @uxhannes

We are happy that you like the new features in CS6. You can request new features from your ideas here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family and people can vote on them.
Note: A shape layer stroke is a vector-based stroke and is applied only to shape layers. This is very different from the layer syle stroke.
You can control the settings for this stroke in the options bar for the vector tools (Shape, Pen, Path Selection, Direct Selection). This stroke is an attribute of the shape layer and will not cause the fx icon to display on the layer in the Layers panel.
A layer style stroke is a pixel-based stroke and can be applied to any layer that accepts layer styles (including shape layers). The settings for this stroke are controlled via the Layer Styles dialog.

How to check/uncheck Stroke & corner Option checkbox in object style panel? [CS4]

Hello,
I'm looking for how to uncheck on the stroke and corner option in object style panel.
Please let me know if anyone knows.
Thanks.
niko

Because the red box is not an image. “Image” generally refers to any raster art, like a TIF, JPEG, PSD, or something rasterized with Object > Rasterize or Effect > Rasterize.
If you want everything on the layer to have 25% opacity (100% opacity is fully opaque, as it likely is now) then click on the dot to the right of the layer name (the little donut next to Reflections in my screen shot), then open the Transparency panel and set the opacity to 25%.

How can I see the options in the paragraph menu?

Hi, I've always been able to outline my text on the basic grid in Indesign, to make text in different columns stand on one line.
It's been quite some time now that I cannot see those options anymore.
I would like to get them back.
I was not happy with the way that I was transferred to some guy in India when I called the Adobe number in Brussels...
So I'm trying it this way.

These are the buttons in the Paragraph panel:
You should see the same ones in the Control Panel when the Text tool is active (you may need to switch the panel from Character to Paragraph mode if they don't show).
As far as I can tell, there has never been a menu command for align to grid.
