David BlatnerLooks like Eugene was looking for something similar a while back and Colin was coming up with some ideas:

I’ll ask if Eugene ever found a more automated solution.
David BlatnerIf you put a caret ^ at the beginning, it means “at the beginning of the paragraph.”
So ^\d+? should find a string of just numbers. And ^(\d|\.)+ would find a string of digits or dots.
David BlatnerFirst of all, I virtually never use the Alt/Option-click to remove formatting anymore. I just click the Remove Local Overrides button. Here’s how to do it and keep your italics:

The Power Styles (part of Blatner Tools or the DTP Cloud service) plug-in from DTPtools.com includes a “remove local overrides” feature that lets you specify exactly which formatting you want to remove and which you want to keep.
David BlatnerI believe this is controlled by the current measurement system. If you right click on the little square where the two rulers meet (in the upper-left corner of the document window) you can switch from Pixels to some other measurement. I think the “pixel grid” is only turned on when the measurement is set to Pixels.
David BlatnerWow, I haven’t seen that for a long time. There hasn’t been a way to change application memory size for over 10 or 15 years, I think!
Are you getting application out of memory errors? Check to make sure you have several gigabyte of free hard drive space, too.
David BlatnerOh, I see what you mean… you mean you want a custom URL instead of a “random one” that the Publish Online system gives you?
I think the bigger answer, until then, is “Don’t delete the Publish Online document from the Dashboard.” ;-)
David BlatnerFortunately, Adobe recently announced that the next version of InDesign and Publish Online (coming “soon”) will allow you to update your publish online docs… that is, you have one URL and then you can update the document there.
However, I honestly can’t remember if it will work with URLs you create today. Probably will, though.
David BlatnerI don’t think data merge is going to be your friend here.
I wonder if you could make CalendarWizard do it: https://creativepro.com/make-a-calendar-with-every-interfaith-holiday-listed-on-it.php
David BlatnerYou probably need to first do a lot of work to organize it in the spreadsheet, and then use a script such as this to create the table:

However, I’m not sure that Data Merge (even with the script) is the right tool for your project. It doesn’t really do calendars like that.
David BlatnerIt looks like it gets reversed out where two characters overlap. That is strange! But there is always a danger in using free fonts. You have to test them carefully. You might be able to get around it by converting to outlines or something. Not sure.
David BlatnerRight: cell styles override the table styles. If you don’t want the cell style to override the table style’s fills and strokes, then you can leave them blank in the cell style. This is analogous to how character styles and paragraph styles work in InDesign.
