David BlatnerI’ve never tried that, but I assume that the dot gain conversion would be applied twice to the original images. As for what the dot gain would be… that sounds like a math problem. If you do 15% two times, what’s the result? Hm. I think it’s tricky because dot gain is usually not a linear thing… it’s usually a curve, so it’s applied differently at 80% than at 50%… tricky. But in general, yeah, I wouldn’t run it twice on the same images. That’s just me.
David BlatnerThe only way to get images here is to put it somewhere (like dropbox or google drive or an image service) and link to it.
Are you adding a single page in the middle of the document? That is an issue as old as InDesign itself… if the master page objects (like your footers or other frames) have been overridden, they’ll double up when the page turns from a left-hand page to a right-hand page.

David BlatnerWonderful solution!
David BlatnerI apologize because I did not catch that you were trying to do this with the Captions feature. That makes sense.
Very glad you figured it out! What did you end up doing?
David BlatnerIs all of that in a single paragraph, with forced line breaks? Or is each line a different paragraph? If the latter, then just make a “Title” paragraph all-caps and bold.
You might want to use the “apply ___ then next style” feature if you have 4 different paragraph styles:
David BlatnerYou might want to use something like IndexMatic to do this. Here’s an article about an older version, but it will get you to the right place:

David BlatnerDo you need to use GREP for this? You can search for underscores in the TEXT tab of the find/change dialog box, right?

If you try it, let us know how it goes!
David BlatnerInDesign is very scriptable, but I’m not sure it would work in the command line like that. I’d think you’d need to have InDesign running, but I’m not sure.

David BlatnerVery strange, Sharon! But thank you for letting us know of your solution.
David BlatnerDoes double-clicking on other things work? For example, if you double-click the red color in the Swatches panel, does it open?
David BlatnerIntersting… but I still do not see why you include
You do not want to include horizontal spaces that are italic, do you? It seems like \S+ would be enough. No?
David BlatnerOh! Thank you very much for explaining the difference. I see now. It sounds like maybe it is a Bridge icon cache problem? I am not sure.
David BlatnerThank you! That seems to work. I’m having some strange results in the image resolution… and the CSV exports with a ; (semicolon) instead of a comma — Excel is confused. :-)
