Reply To: Custon strokes in Object styles

OMG, I’m embarrassed to admit that I had completely forgotten about that Dashed feature in InDesign! As Anne-Marie said to me recently, I have forgotten more about InDesign than a lot of people ever learn, but it’s still frustrating when it happens.

Yes, when you choose Dashed at the bottom of the Stroke Type pop-up menu, THEN you get the dash and gaps feature.

However, as you discovered, I don’t think Object Styles are set up to record those gaps and dashes. Oops! Probably a bug or oversight on Adobe’s part. However, to be honest, given that I didn’t even remember that this feature existed, are there really that many people using it? Hm.

Fortunately, there is a solution. I’ll write it up in a blog post now… hold on…
