ParticipantGreat, glad it was so simple. Enjoy the script!
ParticipantHi Kaila,
This sounds like it could be our QuickResize (https://www.id-extras.com/products/quickresize/).
Yup, just checked and it is!
So, to download a fresh link to the product and be reminded of your serial number, go to the My Account page and enter the email you used to make the purchase (the icloud email): https://www.id-extras.com/shopping-cart/my-account/If you need any more help with this, get in touch via the Contact page on the website.
Thanks!
ArielParticipantJust been bitten by this myself. It is strange that there does not seem to be a way to insert a footnote reference marker in a footnote via scripting.
Peter’s workaround is to create a new footnote and not delete the auto-created footnote number. But as Jongware points out, it should work using the SpecialCharacter enumerator as well.August 22, 2019 at 8:20 am in reply to: Multiple and Lengthy footnotes on a single word in long Indesign file #14324246ParticipantPlugging my own merchandise here, but with Footwork you can tell it to allow footnotes on the page/s following the footnote ref in the main text if needed. You also have more control of the footnote layout on the page. And there are many other features there, including multi-column footnotes, run-on footnotes, and much more.

ParticipantHi John,
You’d need something like our commercial add-on Footwork to automate such a layout in InDesign: https://www.id-extras.com/products/footwork/

ParticipantThere are a lot of “unfinished” features in InDesign — but it is being actively improved all the time.
If you need any help with FormMagic get in touch, and post back to let us know how you got on!Ariel
ParticipantFor now it can only be done with a 3rd-party app such as our https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmagic
ParticipantI use MathType as well.
ParticipantWorking on a 440+ pp book as we speak. Single document. I’d avoid the book panel if at all possible. It adds an unnecessary level of complexity and fiddlyness (is that a word?) that is best avoided. No problem indexing a single document.
If InDesign goes slow, make sure each chapter in the book is its own story, and not one single, long, threaded story spanning 200+ pages! Avoid too many anchored objects, and any use of span/split columns, or columns in general, can cause serious slowdowns as well….

ParticipantNormally I try to avoid using the book feature — it just makes things more complicated and fiddly. In your particular case, perhaps it makes sense to use it, but the fact is that you could just as easily cut and paste the text from one chapter to another.
However, I don’t think it’s a good idea to write a book in InDesign — however much you’re itching to put your knowledge to use. Save it for the layout stage. For the actual writing, it will probably slow you up — a wordprocessor is better for writing.

ParticipantHi Carel,
I have a script that will do the resizing to 300ppi (or any other resolution you choose).
It doesn’t do any of the other stuff you mention (yet!), but if you’re interested in trying it out, send me an email: admin [a t] id-extras.com

ParticipantI would prepare the paragraph with the fleuron as you want it, including all styles. Then copy the fleuron to the pasteboard. Then, in Find/Change, find the text <fleuron> and replace with the contents of the clipboard, formatted (the control code is ^c).
Change all, and all the <fleurons> will be replaced with nicely formatted real fleurons.
If you ever need to change anything, it shouldn’t be too hard if you’ve used a special paragraph style for this paragraph…
ParticipantIf you’re printing from InDesign, in the Print dialog, under the Setup tab, set the scale to 50%.
If you’re printing from Acrobat, in the Printer dialog set the Custom Scale to 50%.
ParticipantThe # is the end-of-story marker. If it is not preceded by a return character, it’s fine. It’s meant to be there at the end of each footnote and won’t come out in print. (Every story in InDesign has one of these at the end, and footnotes are a bit like mini-stories.)
