David BlatnerKeymasterYup. You could use a GREP find/change to search for
,(?=\d)and replace with,~k
That will find all combinations of a comma followed immediately by a digit and replace it with a comma followed by a discretionary line break.
David BlatnerKeymasterWell, first of all, you can do all the color management you want on your end, but if your printers say things like “swop coated is fine” then your workflow is a deadend. It’s like ballroom dancing with a mannequin.
Second, you can’t get accurate proofs of many spot colors (e.g. many Pantone colors). It cannot be done on a desktop printer and isn’t worth worrying about. If you’re printing a CMYK job (such as on a digital press), then you want to use CMYK colors, not spot colors.
David BlatnerKeymasterThere is no good way to do this in InDesign. However, if you need to do a lot of this, you’ll want this commercial add-on: https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmagic
David BlatnerKeymasterThe key is to turn on “All Information” in the ‘when pasting text and tables’ section in the Clipboard Handling section of the Preferences dialog box.
However, then I think you may need to copy the info in Excel, paste into a new text frame in InDesign (where you’ll get a new table), and then copy from that table and paste into your original InDesign file.
Alternatively, if it’s a new table that you’re importing for the first time, you can turn on Show Import Options in the place dialog box, and then set it to Formatted Table or Formatted Only Once.

David BlatnerKeymasterI’m not exactly sure what you mean, but you should be able to just scale it up, right? Like select it and scale it up to 110% or something?
David BlatnerKeymasterIt’s for doing things like this: https://creativepro.com/setting-reversed-out-headline-text-white-on-a-black-bar.php
There is no easy solution for what you’re trying to do. Perhaps put each heading in its own text frame and then anchor those frames in the larger frame.
David BlatnerKeymasterIt looks like the text extends all the way from the left margin to the right margin. When you set the paragraph rule to Text it extends the full width of all the text in the paragraph.
David BlatnerKeymasterI see lines above and below the text. Are you trying to make it so the lines are only above the text? (currently it is across the whole paragraph?)
David BlatnerKeymasterWhat text is selected in your document for this formatting?
David BlatnerKeymasterNo, not automatically. You would have to create those footnotes yourself.
David BlatnerKeymasterI would take a look at IndexMatic to see if it will do what you need:

and it won’t cost a million dollars, either! :-)
David BlatnerKeymasterWhat do you mean by “paragraph 3”? Is that the name of the paragraph style?
You may be able to do this with a cross-reference instead of a table of contents… that is, you would build your TOC out of x-refs. But even that might not work.
David BlatnerKeymasterNot sure if this helps at all:
https://creativepro.com/hidden-limits-of-table-cell-heights.phpI wonder if there is a cell or row in the table that is set to be really huge?
David BlatnerKeymasterI think number adjuster script is the only way I’ve seen. You’d can use a grep condition inside the script to limit it to the numbers you want to change.
