David BlatnerKeymasterOh, I see, you want to do this with grep styles. I was not reading carefully, sorry. My method uses the Find/Change dialog box.
For a grep style, the code would be
^Price.+
David BlatnerKeymasterThat is very possible. I encourage you to look at the resources on this page:
https://creativepro.com/resources/grepJust search for
^Price(That means “the word Price at the beginning of the paragraph”)HOWEVER: Do not apply a character style to the whole paragraph! Use this to apply a paragraph style. (You should not apply character styles to a whole paragraph except in rare circumstances.)
David BlatnerKeymasterYou probably need to rebuild your preferences: https://creativepro.com/help-my-indesign-palette-is-empty.php
David BlatnerKeymasterYou would probably want to apply that as a character style, which can change the font and apply the small caps style at the same time.
David BlatnerKeymasterIt sounds like you want an animation program, not a page-flip program.
One idea you might consider, though, is to create a SWF file (and html) from InDesign with page curl. Then open that file in a web browser, start a “screen capture application” and record the video of you manually turning the pages (without sound). Then you can edit that, crop it down so you can see just the page turning, and shrink the video to the size you want.
David BlatnerKeymasterIt’s hosted on Adobe’s servers. It is not highly secure, and there is currently no way to lock the content.
If people need to host their own HTML, the in5 solution from ajarproductions may be the way to go.
David BlatnerKeymasterThat’s a tricky one. No immediately obvious way to do it. One method would be to make an index (or perhaps easier, a table of contents) based on the product name. Then extract all the data from the table and put it in to Excel. Then create some kind of VLOOKUP to match the price to the product name… the more I think about it, the more I think it’s possible, but it gives me a headache.
David BlatnerKeymasterOnce again, I need to point you to another site… check out this amazing third-party tool: https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmagic
David BlatnerKeymasterThat is an interesting problem! Here’s why I think this happens: InDesign lets you apply more than one stylistic set to a paragraph using paragraph styles, and it uses whatever the highest number is.
(You can see this in the Stylistic Set pop-up menu, because you can select #1 and then go back and select #3, and you will see that both are selected.)
So if you apply Stylistic Set #3 to a paragraph and then, with a character style, apply Stylistic Set #1, the result is not #1 on top of #3, but rather #3 still wins.
But if the character style applies #4, then it will work.
Maybe this is a bug? I’m not sure.
David BlatnerKeymasterInDesign cannot do this, but you might be able to add that functionality with an Acrobat script. For example, I think there might be some help on this site: https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/100.cfm or another pdf site.
David BlatnerKeymasterDo you want the text frame sizes and positions of objects to change? Or you want only the page size itself to change?
