Member“Select that table nested inside another and… no no no, not that table, the other table and then change the third column width to 20 mm… no, I don’t like it, please come back to 22 mm”…
This could be a typical conversation with InDy-Siri :)
MemberWhy not?
David wanted to explore the possibilities of GREP so I answered with a GREP, nests styles remain a possibility in this case.
Also the same GREP could also use to apply a GREP style instead of a search and replace.MemberHi David,
if I understood well this is a simple GREP.Find two words at the beginning of a paragraph:
^\w+ \w+Replace with the same 2 words:
$0at the same time you can apply all the styles and formatting options that you want in the replay format section
MemberI suppose that the link in the newsletter is relative to the ACA certification.
For ACE I received an email last month with the link to follow to migrate the Prometric account to the new certification provider, Alpine CertMetrics:

MemberHi Scott,
you can easily put what you search for into a variable so that you can change those variables with the same values.In your example you can find: (E) (\d)
This way E became the variable $1 and \d become the $2So that you can change your text with: $1$2
and it’s done
Let me if it’s work

Try search for
(\d{3})(\d{4})and replace with$1$2May 2, 2018 at 1:39 pm in reply to: GREP help! Long string of numbers, need to add a space every 7th number #103506MemberDavid, you’re right!
You saved Jennifer’s life :)I think that you don’t need the parenthesis () in the search filed, \d{7} should be fine.
May 2, 2018 at 1:29 pm in reply to: GREP help! Long string of numbers, need to add a space every 7th number #103504MemberYou have only 9 variables so can separate a maximum of 9 groups
repeat this search:
(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7,})and replace with:
$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9as many time as the number is over.
Maybe someone here has a different solution.
May 2, 2018 at 1:09 pm in reply to: GREP help! Long string of numbers, need to add a space every 7th number #103499MemberHi Jennifer,
try to search:
(\d\.\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7})(\d{7,})
replace with:
$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9Unfortunately you cannot add the space into more than 9 groups of numbers, so you need to perform a second search and replace for the last group
search:
(\d{7})(\d{7})
replace:
$1 $2MemberHi Jacobs,
you could keep together almost the two starting lines of a paragraph and / or the two ending lines with the keep options section of the paragraph style.Let’s take a look
April 21, 2018 at 9:14 pm in reply to: Assigning InDesign properties on anchored objects when importing XML #103257MemberHi Tonua,
automate this situation is exactly what my company does, it’s not possible without a kind of programming language.
We build the dynamic template and the scripts that make the necessary tasks after the import.
Let me know if you are interested to go deeper.MemberI agree with Vinny 38, nested styles is enough for this, but I prefer the forced-line break method rather then creating two paragraphs styles so I agree with Glen on this.
MemberGlen, I think that you can keep it simpler without having much to do with lookahead and lookbehind for your situation.
I suggest two simple GREP style, see the screenshot:
https://adobe.ly/2nuBRDwLet me know if it works for you
MemberPeter, you could set the second style as the next style of the first one, so that each time you type the return key InDesign automatically apply the second one.
After several second style paragraphs you have to manually set the first style to start over again.Is it clear?
MemberHi Glenn, unfortunately I’ve already seen a behaviour like this with long tables.
You can try to disable the GPU acceleration in the preferences, maybe it could help. -
