MemberWe need t-shirts that proclaim, “I'm Best When I'm Bad.”
MemberSo it was truly buried! I see it. I'd have thought, as I looked deep into those befoe, they would have labled it under Align or Panel something. But, burp, I see the light.
And before YOU see the light, take 2 advil and get a good sleep. :-)
MemberLOL. You're among Guys here. A (real) man's gotta party.
MemberSending me to the bowels of the program, are ya? I have to find “show set” … burning curiosity.
September 8, 2011 at 3:30 pm in reply to: Can GREP remove hyphens between characters and put the characters back in? #60479MemberReading along with your other posts, tracking your website pointers for everyone, you really set the standard for giving.
When I find something cool, it's a reminder to self to post what you've learned to give back. And it's dudes like yourself who've set the tone.
I grovel endlessly in thanks….
September 8, 2011 at 3:13 pm in reply to: Can GREP remove hyphens between characters and put the characters back in? #60477MemberJongware, you are my idol!!!
I was just about to post this — (w)-(w) for $1$2 — after an exhaustive search. But I would have had to explain what it didn't do.
Then you ring in with the home run. :-) You have such a gift, I could see you outting a book of great GREPs and what they did. Lay my $$ right here.
17 thank you's…
MemberUgh ! An Apple-Adobe limitation….what-ever! :-)
If you are comfortable with scripting, read this link. It's a viable workaround to getting what you (I?) want. Thing is, the script is document-dependent. Read on …
MemberThank you, Kas, again.
I tried this and didn't get it to work, but am now reading Jongware's CS3 scripting reference to thread this needle. It really is the bible of scripting for InDesign. The guy is just amazing.

June 13, 2011 at 10:39 am in reply to: Can InDesign be scripted to load shortcuts workspaces? #59847MemberPostscript:
In CS3, the app.applyShortcutSet indeed fails. So I wanted to dampen my earlier excitement a wee bit. Still, a very good thing to know. Are there other “app.apply” scripts to reference for automation?
MemberHey guys, thanks. You are studs!!
Here is the script and it works great, for anyone whomever needs this. Pay attention to syntax, if you use this.
main();
funtion main()}
app.applyWorkspace(“namehere”);
app.applyShortcutSet(“namehere”);
}
17 thank you's, Chuck
MemberThanks, Kas, I'll try that.
MemberMassey, can you up the script here? Adobe supports the same script in your case. I could see not if certain specifics were involved.
MemberBy default, text you place in InDesign is not linked to the original text file. However, if you select the “Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files” preferences option before you place a file, the name of the text file appears in the Links panel. You can use the Links panel to update and manage the file. When you update a linked text file, any editing or formatting changes applied within InDesign are lost. Because of this risk, linked text files are not automatically updated when the original file is edited. However, you can easily update the linked file using the Links panel.
- Do one of the following:
-
To apply this change to a document, open the document.
-
To apply this change to new documents you create, close all documents.
-
- Choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Type (Mac OS).
- To create links in placed files, select Create Links When Placing Text And Spreadsheet Files. If this option is turned on, use the Links panel to update, relink, or remove links. If this option is turned off, text files are embedded (not linked).
If you keep a folder of text files that the PTB can reach, they can edit with little interference to your InDesign doc. When you update, you're back in control.
September 20, 2010 at 6:13 am in reply to: Paragraph Style with auto fractions and normal integers #57058MemberIt appears Jongware bypassed the brackets and it worked for him. “d+/d*” I used [/] … “any character”
September 19, 2010 at 5:45 pm in reply to: Paragraph Style with auto fractions and normal integers #57054MemberJongware, I'll try other fonts and see if it's a consistent solution all around. But for at least 8 of my clients, this is going to give them a global switch & replace rather than a fraction by fraction input of a char style. I'll keep my eyes posted to see if anyone will throw in something even easier.
