Using custom bullet images in paragraph styles

R8 HTML.
Hello all,
Bit of an edit to this one.
I've got several sections of text through my doc, Tips and Notes, currently this text is just highlighted and box bound. But I instead want it to have a custom bullet image, like a ! or something similar. I've found the images I want to use in the 'Bullet and Numbering..' menu of RH, but using these to create a style creates a new list style, I instead want to edit my existing Note and Tip styles so the image is used, otherwise I have to re-apply the list style all over the doc in place of the Tip and Note styles I have now. Would be very nice if I didnt have to do this.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers.

Hi Nick
Coming in a bit late on this.
I just successfully changed to picture bullets by performing the following actions.
Added the image I wanted to use for the bullet as a Baggage file.
Edited the Lists item in the Style Sheet editor so that lists were presented in an unusual font. (did this so I could easily locate the appropriate CSS section when editing later)
*NOTE: I'm unsure why Lists is listed as a separate entry of its own, but I used the Lists found within the Other category.
Now hand edit the CSS using Windows Notepad. Certainly you may view the files in Windows Explorer and right-click to edit, but I much prefer to launch the CSS in Notepad right from RoboHelp HTML. To do that, you click Tools > Options > Associations tab. Then associate Notepad with CSS files. This allows you to right-click the CSS in the RoboHelp HTML Explorer and choose View. The CSS should then display in Notepad.
Okay, once that was done I edited Notepad and saw that my lists item looked as below:
I amended it to add the reference to the image as shown below:
Seems a lot has been tried and nothing seems to work for you. I'm hopeful this will either help you solve it or spark a thought that will.
Cheers... Rick

Custom bullet images

Keynote's themes come with some nice custom bullets, which I would like to appropriate to use on slides not with those themes. There is a "custom image" chooser in the Bullets inspector, but I cannot find where the stock custom bullet images reside on disk. Another thread suggested that they might be in the Pages application package, but I do not see them there. Can anybody point me to where they sit?

They're in the Keynote application package: Resources -> ImageGlyphs

Image in paragraph style?

I use CS3 - Windows XP
Hello
I am publishing a photobook in several languages, and before I start description of each photograph I need to put in the flag of the corresponding language. Kind of like a drop cap.
I was wondering if there is some way to automate this process using styles, because at the moment I am just putting a tiny graphics frame with the flag image (GIF) in front of the corresponding text, making the text flow around it , which is quite tedious work (there is like 200+ photos and it seems like there will be 8 languages)
I was wondering if it is possible to place an image into a paragraph style in some way, or incorporate the image as a bullet, or something like that.
Thank you

you can add some "tag" as flag description in text:
[DE] hdf shkdjhfkjhskdjh fk skdhfk
[BG] khsd kjfhkds f ds
[PL] kjdh kajs hk ask dkas
next you can use script to replace these "tags" with images
or you can use Find/Replace and search for "[DE]" and replace with clipboard "~C" (of course without ")

Add an Image in Paragraph style

Hi all,
I've a big problem without answer yet:
I need to add an Image (linked file) as drop cap of a paragraph, or in alternative and maybe more easy, use that linked file as point of a list.
I've see that i can customize dots of list, but u can use only Gliphs of fonts, insteand i want use a little linked file.
For example i need something like that:
   Any text any text any text any text
       any text any text any text any text
   Any text any text any text any text
       any text any text any text any text
I need that if i set the paragraph on "Any text", the linked image must be placed.
There is a way in InDesign CS5 to make something like that?
Sorry for my bad english, if u need some explain tell me.
Thanks to all

Hi Peter,
So thx for your answer, it'll be so usefull.
I think i'll make some experiment with GREP-Find, it's look so usefull too.

How come when I use "Space before" in a paragraph style, it will only put the space in if i have a blank line above it. Shouldn't it do this regardless?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that if I have a style with a "space before" setting of, for example, 21p, i should be able to put text into a new text box and have that text with the style applied pop down the page. It doesn't do this. I can make it work by just hitting "enter" and having a blank line in front of it, but in my mind this shouldn't be necessary. What am I doing wrong?

That's expected behavior. If the text spans columns or pages you wouldn't want a space above if a new column started with a paragraph at the top. Like this where you want the 2nd column to align with the others:

How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

[JS CS3] Find/Change "[Basic Paragraph]" style

I'm trying to find all occurances of the [Basic Paragraph] style and replace them with [No Paragraph Style]. I'm using:
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph Style]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";
I get the message "Invalid value for set property 'appliedParagraphStyle'. Expected String, ParagraphStyle or NothingEnum enumerator, but received "[Basic Paragraph Style]"."
I've tried every combination of brackets, no brackets, quotes, no quotes, etc. It doesn't seem like this can be scripted, even though it can be done via find/change in InDesign. Am I banging my head against the wall? Does anyone know if this can be done?

"[Basic Paragraph]" as shown in the code below doesn't work either. (the word "Style" actually snuck in as I was trying different variations. But no combination seems to work.
If anyone knows that [Basic Paragraph] can or cannot be accessed via scripting, I'd like to know. Thanks.
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[Basic Paragraph]";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "[No Paragraph Style]";

IBooks Author table of contents does recognize paragraph styles

The video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2p08-NmqfQ
shows that using iBooks Author I should be able to have text that is formatted with specific Paragraph Styles show automatically in the Table of Contents. But for me that does not work. My version of ibooksAuthor is version 2.1.1 ( the latest) , under OS 10.9.1 (the latest) on an iMac.
The video shows the Inspector for TOC as a separate window and shows explicitly, under Sections, the items Copyright, Dedication, Foreword, Section and Section Text. It also has two Paragraph styles listed, Heading 1 and Heading 2.
This set of TOC entries is available for me with templates from Landscape with Portrait but NOT with templates of Portrait. The templates available for Portrait do not list, in the TOC Inspector, Heading 1 or Heading 2.
Furthermore, the Portrait templates do NOT allow me to add any Paragraph style to the list (the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out), although the Landscape templates DO allow me to add any Paragraph style.
However, when, with a Landscape template (e.g. Basic) I format text as one of the paragraph styles Header 1, Header 2, Chapter, Section, it does NOT automatically show up in the TOC, though if I add a new section it does automatically show up. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
When I use a Portrait template (e.g. Basic or any other) and format text as one of the Paragraph Styles Chapter or Section that text does not show up in the TOC. And the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out: I cannot add Header 1 or Header 2. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
No matter what template I use, if I assign a paragraph style to some text, it does not show up in the TOC. And with Portrait templates, which is what I want to use, I cannot adde any paragraph styles to the TOC Inspector in Portrait templates.

The iBA Help has info on: table of contents
Which includes:
Each book comes with a table of contents that is updated automatically. You can view the table of contents at any time by selecting Table of Contents in the sidebar. The table of contents includes a default set of items, but you can change which items appear. A table of contents can include:
Chapter and section titles: All chapter and section titles are included in the table of contents by default. If you remove a section from the table of contents, all other sections that use the same layout are removed as well.
Text that uses specified paragraph styles: By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like. Paragraph styles appear in the table of contents only in portrait orientation. See Format text using styles.
The way the table of contents looks depends on the current page orientation. In landscape orientation (shown below), each chapter has its own contents page, with navigation buttons at the bottom. In portrait orientation, the entire book’s table of contents is visible as an expandable list.
Add or remove items in the table of contents
If the Document inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Document Inspector button.
Click the TOC button.
Do either or both of the following:
To add an item: Click the Add pop-up menu , choose Add Paragraph Style, and choose an option from the submenu.
To remove an item: Select the item you want to remove and click the Delete button .

Unable to install supporting objects(custom CSS/Images) through SQL

4.2.1
Hi there,
we have a Apex app which uses custom CSS/images loaded into shared objects CSS and image folders respectively. I followed the steps
http://nerd.net.au/29-apex-application-express/general-application/122-include-images-with-supporting-objects-on-apex-export-import
Now, this works fine when we manually import the application through application builder, it "prompts" if we want to install supporting objects, when yes is selected, everything gets installed.
MY problem is we have an automated patching process where the .sql application file gets installed but the supporting objects are not. So I tried bundling the supporting object as a separate .sql file but got an error
Testing options PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. declare * ERROR at line 1: ORA-20001: Package variable g_security_group_id must be set. ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 11 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_IMAGE_API", line 31 ORA-06512: at
The supporting object is a button. Do I need to set the application id or security group id or something else?

Thanks Fac586! I did follow the process on those lines and was able to successfully get the images, application installed. The CSS which just had
body {
     background-color:#000000;
}Was also applied. However, it for some reason does not work. Looks like the CSS is not getting loaded. When I delete the CSS and upload it again through the shared components->CSS folder, it works fine. Not sure what the solution is!
Oh and by the way, thanks a ton for helping everyone!

Create automatic white gap/bar with paragraph style

Hello,
Thanks to your help and the Paragraph Ruler trick, I managed to get automatic title formatting (the grey background)
Now, I would like to get automatically white gap as in line two but I can't figure out how to do it (tried with strikethrough but it's all over the text, you can't cheat).
Any idea?
Thanks.

Here I am (sorry I didn't answer before, during the weekend i am not in my office).
You didn't tell us why do you want to change the text box width? That could help us to give you a better answer.
However if you need to have different text box width you can use this method:
Only one paragraph style with only one rule column width, "vertical line" and grep style.
Below one example:

Custom background images in pop-up menus?

Can I use custom background images in FW MX (v6) popup menus?
If so, how can I get them in there? If I can't do it in FW, is
there a way to modify the JavaScript to call on the appropriate
images? And, if I can get custom images in there, with embedded
text, is there a way to make the navigation elements "crawlable" by
search engine bots? I'm trying to achieve a particular visual
effect for my client's website, and use a custom font in the menu
cells -- hence HTML text won't work.
I also seem to be getting a one-pixel transparent space
between the cells that looks weird. Any advice?
Any help is appreciated.
Jeff

Is possible to assign picture in paragraph style or create bullet?

I need to assign Illustrator picture (B&W) before text. Is this possible? Or exist way, how to create from this pictue bullet?
Thanks

Jean-Claude is right. IndyFont is a great option for this job. That way you can just use a bulleted paragraph style. Here's a post and video on the topic:
http://indesignsecrets.com/creating-a-custom-bullet-or-character-with-indyfont.php
Or you could do a Find/Change to replace bullets which have been converted to regular text with the graphic. Copy the graphic and in the Change To field, select Clipboard Contents.

Can you apply "Indent To Here" in a paragraph style (Bullets & Numbering Section)? ID-CS6/MAC

Hi Adobe comunity,
As the title of this discussion states, can I apply "Indent to here" within paragraph styles. Please take a look at the attached image which will give you an idea of my dilema.
Any info on the matter would be greatly appreiated.

Peter,
Thanks. this is definitely a work around. The only problem with this solution is that if a document has a ton of bullet levels, the designer has to perform and keep up a ton of math in order to do proper levels. Which is cumbersome. At the same time time, the Indent To Here (ITH) command is so much more cleaner and efficient specially when it comes to visual alignment of the when "shape shifting bullets" are used.
Example:
i. bullet
ii. bullet
iii. bullet
In the above example, the ITH would create clean copy alignments thorought on all secondary line copy while the -/+ indents would not be able to remain consitent (unless the designer has to tweak every bullet with indent levels). That is, on the above example, the second lines on bullets ii and iii would be irregularly aligned.
So i take it one cannot input the ITH command onto the "Number Field". Hmmph. lol

I copy text, paragraph styles, character styles & images from 1 document to another only text copies

I have a few documents that have text and images that is frequently repeated through many chapters of an In Design book. (Printing, exporting etc.) I used to select all in the source document, Command + C to copy it, change to the target document, Command + V to paste it. It worked well for six months.
About two weeks ago it stopped working (shortly after an update to In Design). I have text, paragraph styles, chacter styles and images in each document. Only the plain text copies over. This is the same for any document.
I haven't changed Preferences in six months.
I'm on a Mac 10.8.2, In Design CS6 version 8.0.1.
It's driving me crazy! It's a lot of work to reformat each 2 to 10 pages after copying it in.

Why can't I define bullet paragraph in Basic Paragraph style?

I would like to set up my Basic Paragraph style so that I can quickly apply bullets to individual paragraphs - using MY preferred indents - without having to create a new style for the bullet paragraphs. I tried changing the settings of the Basic Paragraph style, with no documents open, but it doesn't seem to want to accept my choice of indents. First I selected bullets and set an indent, but then the whole paragraph defaults to bullets. When I switch the bullet setting back to "none" the only thing that it keeps is the last setting I chose for tabs. (Which simultaneously changes the default tab setting for all paragraphs.) But when I create a new doct and start a bullet paragraph, the indents always default to .25/-.25, and any tab setting LESS than .25 results in the first line indenting to the tab setting, but the rest of the paragraph indenting to .25. There seems to be no way to change the default indent for bullets without creating a new paragraph style. And usually I'm fine with that. But I thought I would like to have a quick default using the Basic Paragraph style. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
Here is a visual/verbal screenshot to help explain:

Let's see if I understand this differently from the others. You want to apply bullets manually from time to time without having to select a new style, you want to do this by pressing the bulleted list button in the Control panel, and you want settings for tabs and indents other than the default. Is that correct?
As far as I can tell there is no way currently to do this. You cannot set up the parameters for bullets unless the text cursor is active or you are defining a style, so there is no way to set up new defaults. You don't want to set up parameteres everytime you need a bullet, so, either you type the bullets manually, tab and insert an indent to here character, which is actually a lot more work, or you go ahead and set up the style. You can access the style list in the dropdown on the Control panel, or you can add a keyboard shortcut to give you quick access, or hit Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Enter to access Quick apply and start typing the name of the style (almost as fast as a keyboard shortcut).
