Reply To: Typesetting style question

I’ve no idea, why document or document typing is sometimes slow, but I hear often those problems in our german forums, if spanning columns, autosized textframes or a lot of grep-styles are involved. Good to hear, that it sometimes work.

@Masood: If I write, it works then it works, even with two columns created by textframe options. ;-) You can find the script in the mentioned thread, where Michel and I had some clever and cool ideas. Maybe it is time to clean up the code a bit. If i have the time, I will provide a new version directly for download.

The screen shows a two column layout (2 columns by textframe options) and a para style with no overrides and no space before / above, because the space is part of the span feature.

@ Mike: The idea of the script is to find a range of paras with same style applied and apply a different style to the first and last para of that range. It is also possible to do a find / change e.g. to remove fake bullets at the beginning of that range or find only specific things with a GREP search.
