VBA-script not working in InDesign

Goal: To have text placed from Word formatted in the paragraph styles I like. I receive the text from other authors and they are formatted with standard Word paragraph style formatting.
Two solutions:
Format the text in Word (change paragraph styles) using VBA, place/import it and somehow make sure that InDesign uses the styles I already defined in InDesign, not the way that style is defined in Word. I can't figure out how to do this.
Do the formatting in InDesign, using script. But the VBA-macro does not work in InDesign.
How may I change the code in order to work in InDesign? The code should look for specific paragraph styles and change them or the style of the next paragraph.
Sub stilSkifte()
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToNext, Name:="1"
Dim para As Paragraph
For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs 'søk gjennom hvert enkelt avsnitt i dokumentet
   On Error Resume Next
    'INGEN MELLOMROM og overskriftene
    If para.Range.Style = "Ingen mellomrom" Then
        para.Style = "Normal"
        GoTo SisteLinje 'Gå til linja i koden som heter SisteLinje, = gå til neste avsnitt
    End If
    If para.Range.Style = "Overskrift 1" Then
        para.Style = "Tittel-små"
        GoTo SisteLinje 'Gå til linja i koden som heter SisteLinje, = gå til neste avsnitt
    End If
    If para.Range.Style = "Overskrift 2" Then
        para.Style = "Ingress"
        GoTo SisteLinje 'Gå til linja i koden som heter SisteLinje, = gå til neste avsnitt
    End If
    If para.Range.Style = "Overskrift 3" Then
        para.Style = "mellomtittel"
        GoTo SisteLinje 'Gå til linja i koden som heter SisteLinje, = gå til neste avsnitt
    End If
    'NORMAL til BYLINE
    If para.Range.Style = "Ingress" Then
        If para.Next.Style = "Normal" Then
            para.Next.Style = "byline1"
        End If
           GoTo SisteLinje
    End If
    If para.Range.Style = "byline1" Then
        If para.Next.Style = "Normal" Then
            para.Next.Style = "byline2"
        End If
           GoTo SisteLinje
    End If
   'Hvis avsnittet er i NORMAL og det neste er...
    If para.Range.Style = "Normal" Then
        '...i NORMAL endres dette til NORMAL M INNRYKK
        If para.Next.Style = "Normal" Then
            para.Next.Style = "Normal med innrykk"
        End If
        GoTo SisteLinje
    End If
SisteLinje: Next
End Sub
I apriciate any suggestions!

Thank you Kasyan, but it doesn't work as I expected it to. The InDesign style are somtimes overridden, sometimes not. It seems to have something to do with wether the Word-style is based on another Word-style or not. In addition I have my InDesign styles grouped, and when InDesign upon placing a text doesn't find the style on the top level, it imports the Word-style.
My solution:
Change Word-styles so they are not based upon another style
Running the VBA-code in Word
Placing the text using "Use InDesign style definition" for paragraph and character styles conflicts.
Editing the imported InDesign styles so that they are based upon and equals the original InDesign style in the respective group

  • Spotlight still not working in inDesign

    Why is it that after nearly TWO years the spotlight function in the open dialogue box is still not working in inDesign? Is this some sort of sick joke from the inDesign programmers? Why can it work when in the PASTE dialogue box but not the OPEN dialogue box? I discovered this fault years ago and wrote about it in length but it has yet to be addressed.

    Thank you Daniel,
    I omitted posting that the Search box in my Systems Preferences Window used to work, so that I do know what to look for: as I type letters the preference panes whose description contains the (partial) word I am typing should be highlighted by an undimmed circle.
    Unfortunately, in my case, the behavior I have is that regardless of what I type in the Search box in my Systems Prefernces Window, no icons are ever highlighted. Indeed, I can type the complete name of a preference pane, for example 'bluetooth', and while my entire Systems Preferences Window is dimmed, neither my Bluetooth preference pane icon nor any other preference pane icon is highlighted through the use of an undimmed circle about it.
    This failure of the Search box in the Systems Preferences Window has been experienced by other people. For example in this forum, viz:
    Reindexed my HD but no Spotlight preference in Preferences
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=876847
    Unfortunately the solution posted in the above thread was to manually delete the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache files. And as I posted I've tried not only manually deleting the above two files in terminal.app, but also deleting all of my cache files through the use AppleJack 1.4.3. Neither steps have returned the Search box in my Systems Preferences Window to working order.
    Alas, I'm still looking for suggestions...

  • Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

    Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

    Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
    I'm using a PC. It works here.
    It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

  • [CS5 Server/JSX] allGraphics parent geometricBounds not working on InDesign Server

    Hi,
    The following script works fine on InDesign Desktop CS5:
    g = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
    for (i=0; i<g.length; i++)
    g[i].parent.geometricBounds = [0,0,"150mm","150mm"];
    g[i].fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);
    g[i].parent.fit (FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);      
    When I run the script for InDesign Sever I get the following error:
    Error Number 30614
    Invalid object for this request,
    g[i].parent.geometricBounds = [0,0,"150mm","150mm"];
    Why does .parent not work on the server?

    g = myDocument.allGraphics;
    for (i=0; i<g.length; i++)
    g[i].parent.geometricBounds = [0,0,"150mm","150mm"];
    g[i].fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);
    g[i].parent.fit (FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT); 
    if(myDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow)
          vDoc.recompose();
    The solution!

    THanks in advance!

    In SharePoint 2013, sp.js and sp.runtime.js does not load on the page in published mode. You need to explicitly load these files. You can check using IE developer tools in the Script section that in published mode these files are missing.
    In order to fix this issue explictly refer these two js files on your page.

  • Simple button script not working

    I am using AS2 and need help figuring out why this simple button script is not working:
    stop();
    buttonWS1.onRelease = function(){
                        gotoAndStop("Stage1and2_Boss",4);
    buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){
                        nextFrame();
    //end
    My buttons are the square letter-puzzles below. They are images that I converted to "symbols" (specifically, buttons). I put their names as above (buttonWS1, buttonWS2, etc.) in the "instance names" boxes.
    I have no idea what is going on. Please help!

    Hi -
    1. Yes, buttonWS2 is the instance name
    2. The only code attached to it is the code I pasted above.
    3. onRelease does not execute because my trace statement does not appear in the output
    Here is the modified code for buttonWS2:
    buttonWS2.onRelease = function(){

  • Java script not working in 1 pdf, but same script is NOT working in other

    Dear Experts,
    I have a problem with java script.
    I have created 2 PDFs with the same Form name and sub form names.
    I have written a javascript and this script seems to be working in one (Demand2.pdf) and NOT working in the other (Sample.pdf).
    The link for Demand2.pdf is
    https://acrobat.com/#d=XIydWx1RIU4oNdTySHtHfg
    and the link for sample.pdf is
    https://acrobat.com/#d=sKPRs2dtDY57RSvMVtnh3w
    Can you please guide me on this.
    Many Thanks
    BookFans

    Hi,
    The second file (Sample.pdf) is saved as Static. The script is changing the visual appearance of the form (showing and hiding objects). This requires the file to be saved as a Dynamic PDF. This is available in the save-as dialogue under the file name.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Logout Script not working in 10.9.3 Mavericks

    Sorry for the duplicate post, but this issue is with MacBook Pro not iMac.
    Can anyone tell me why this logoutscript will not work using LogouHook in Mavericks.  The exact same script worked with Lion and Mountain Lion.
    #!/bin/csh
    ## CCS-Checkout Logout Script
    if ( $USER == 'ccs-checkout' ) then
    #first, unlock all files
    /usr/bin/chflags -R nouchg /Users/ccs-checkout/*
    /usr/bin/chflags -R nouchg /Users/ccs-checkout/.Trash/
    /usr/bin/chflags -R nouchg /Users/ccs-checkout/.??*
    #then, delete all of the files
    /bin/rm -R /Users/ccs-checkout
    #copy a "clean" version of the ccs-checkout users home directory
    /usr/bin/ditto -rsrcFork /var/skel/ccs-checkout /Users/ccs-checkout
    #ensure that the users directory exists and set the privs
    /usr/sbin/chown -R ccs-checkout:wheel /Users/ccs-checkout
    /bin/chmod -R 775 /Users/ccs-checkout/
    #make sure trash is empty
    /bin/rm -R /Users/ccs-checkout/.Trash/
    #make sure trash dir exists and set privs for trash and dot files
    /bin/mkdir /Users/ccs-checkout/.Trash
    /usr/sbin/chown -R ccs-checkout /Users/ccs-checkout/.??*
    /bin/chmod -R 700 /Users/ccs-checkout/.??*
    endif
    exit 0
    The script will run in terminal when copied and pasted from #first, unlock all of the files to exit 0.
    When I run defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /usr/local/bin/LogoutScript the date on the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file changes so it is being modified.
    Apparently there is something in:
    #!/bin/csh
    ## CCS-Checkout Logout Script
    if ( $USER == 'ccs-checkout' ) then
    That Mavericks does not like or won't execute.
    To duplicate this issue on your MBP make a user named ccs-checkout with normal permissions and autologon.  After the first logon of the ccs-checkout user log out and log on as root and copy the ccs-checkout users local profile to the /var/skel/ folder.  Then make the above script into an executable .sh file named LogoutScript and place it in the /usr/local/bin/ folder and run the above LogoutHook.
    Thanks for any help with this issue.

    This is the part of code where script fails. In 9.2 I haven't any kind of problems.

  • Undo not working in Indesign CC 2014

    My indesign CC is not working with Undo. How do i fix this. Never had a problem with Indesign until now!!! Ever since I updated to Mavericks and CC2014 my indesign is whacky. Also does not update things without saving.

    That's almost always because of system or third party software that's stealing your keyboard shortcuts.
    Check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. Investigate third party software and browsers that may be operating at the same time.
    If necessary, set up a new user and launch InDesign in the new user to check the problem.

    All commands were working fine last week but opened up InDesign today and for some reason all the Shift-based commands are not working properly (i.e. automatically drawing 45 degree angles and proportionally resizing shapes). Working on a Macbook Pro 2012 running Yosemite 10.10.1

  • [js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

    Hello,
    We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
    This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
    I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
    Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
    I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
    Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
    Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
    And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
    Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
    Lee
    // Exchange the text
    function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
    oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
    app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

    > Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
    Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
    Currently playing around with the:
    > app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
    app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
    oneDoc.changeText();
    I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
    Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
    I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
    all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
    Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
    Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
    What I want to say is:
    Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
    so
    With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
    through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
    Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

  • [JS CS5] Re order pages script not working for me

    Hi, I'm attempting to use the reorder script marked as the answer in this post :
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/519470
    My problem is that when it reorders the pages, it puts them all into one spread and errors once it reaches 10.
    Some details on what I am doing -
    It's an 18 page document, reorder is as follows:
    1,2,4,18,17,5,6,16,15,7,8,14,13,9,3,10,11,12
    Currently it's in spreads, but even when I turn off facing pages, move each page by itself and turn the master into one page, I still have the same error. I've been fighting with this a while, I've tried each of those by themselves as well.
    In case you are curious about the order - this is a booklet, but the middle signature is 3 pages. I'm attempting to create a script that will take it from reader to printer spreads as "print booklet" will not work because of the 3 page signature (extra page is a fold out on finished product).
    I'm fairly new to scripting and feel it must be something obvious I'm just missing.
    Thank you for your time!!

    @Krista – I suggest you ask in the thread you are pointing to with your link.
    No need to split the thread into two.
    Now to your problem:
    if all the pages end up in one spread it is no surprise that you get an error after page 10. The maximum page count of one single spread is 10.
    Why do the pages go to one spread?
    It's pure speculation, but I think it has to do with some preconditions your spreads are in.
    Check for "Allow Document Pages to Shuffle" and "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle".
    Is "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle" "off" or "on" for the particular spread where all pages are added?
    And another question:
    what is the particular script you refer to? There are a couple of scripts in this thread from various authors.
