  • in reply to: Style problem when copying between Indesign docs #92765

    If the styles are based on the default [Basic Paragraph] style, that could cause a problem, since the default font was changed from Myriad Pro in CS5.5 to Minion Pro in more recent versions. (though I’m not sure why colors wouldn’t transfer over).

    Are you positive you didn’t accidentally select a Character style other than [None] to be the default style in the receiving document? I’d check.

    Sorry I’m not enough of a GREPper; though we have plenty here! If you’re desperate and no once chimes in soon enough, you might try the Facebook Group, “The Treasures of GREP,” they’re over 1,000 members and are intensely ID GREP-focused: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TreasuresofGrep/

    The setting you want to adjust is in Preferences > Clipboard Handling.

    Wow. So copying and pasting the Word doc brought them into ID as non-breaking hyphens? But placing the Word doc deleted them? (“Pages 122126”?) Or did it replace them with a space? Did it look different in Story Editor?

    When you searched for a non-breaking hyphen, did you search in Word or in ID?

    I do see Numbering and Section Options in my Pages Panel menu in CC 2017, right underneath “Create Alternate Layout …” . Take another look?

    Not sure about the text variables used as page headers. That’s a stranger one. However I would expect some problems when moving from CC 2017 all the way back to CS6, that’s quite a number of versions ago.

    Whoa. So the InDesign file *is* the database? No original source for all that info?

    Nothing comes to mind, sorry. I would think that exporting that content to a text file, and then using some sort of GREP and AppleScript fo copy the text to a tab-delimited file, would be the way to go. You might ask on the InDesign Scripting forum here: https://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_scripting.

    Thank you so much, John! I like that saying, too.

    It’s always good to know that our writings and videos are having a direct, positive impact. I write my own thanks to authors too, with that in mind!
