    Update!
    Thank you all for your suggestions. Problem solved. Yes, it was the width of the column that was the offending issue. The threading stopped at a heading of two rather long words that were separated by a no break command, which forced the column width to be greater than the column width of the template. A soon as I extended the column width, the remaining text in the document appeared.

    Hello Peter,
    I was very interested in the script that you created for Art Hoffman for changing fonts within a paragraph style – it worked for me. I have been looking for some time for something similar, but more in terms of a batch process, since nearly 1,000 documents are involved, spanning many different folders #d 0-20, with each folder having two sub-folders EN and FR. This would be very monotonous converting one at a time!!
    Any ideas, please?
    Thanks.

    Hello all,
    Actually Colleen, before I read your reply, for which I thank you, I must have been inspired to check further, because, in fact I did find that for some inexplicable reason, a character style was being applied to all the paragraph styles! Eureka! Problem solved. I removed the no break character style completely (we do use it to keep “Figure” and its number together when they are split over two lines when cross-referencing a Figure in our documents). I did notice a couple of unusual new paragraph styles in this particular documents, but several writers can work on the same document over the course of say a year, so occasionally new styles are required… perhaps this is how it crept in!
    Anyway, thank you both so much for your inspiration!
    Regards.

    David.

    Hello Dwayne,
    I looked into your suggestions and the preference under Advanced Type is set for Adobe Paragraph Composer. Also, we have no hyphenation set for our paragraph style, and the attribute for no break is deselected (blank).
    Our various paragraph styles have been set for all our many documents and hardly vary from one document to another. Once in a while, we encounter a “rogue” document, such as this and rebuilding it is arduous, but not impossible. This, however, is a whole different ball game! I’ve removed all the paragraph styles and re-imported them from an entirely different document. I’ve changed the “base” template, but to no avail!
    Thanks again for your help. Hopefully, I can get this fixed – somehow…
    David.

    Hello Dwayne:
    Thank you so much for that insight. I’m sure that I have already checked those points, but I will recheck them, since I could have missed that double-whammy… I will advise.
    Much appreciated.
    David.

    Hi Vinny:
    Wow! Who can understand the subtle, but strange idiosyncrasies of InDesign? Why can’t programmers think more like users?
    Well, I thank you for your input. I did learn something new, so there’s a positive!
    Regards.
    David.

    Hi Vinny:
    Thank you for your response. Yes, you are partially correct. Most of the settings remain, if you remain in the document, except the color! It is the color that I want to change from the default black to the light blue within a document. This always reverts to black when closing the panel, at least that’s what I’m experiencing. In addition, once the document is closed, the next time it is opened, the settings have changed. I would like to set them once for all my documents and have the panel open up at those settings, whatever document I open and whenever I open it… It would be nice to have such “permanent” settings available in Preferences.
    Thank you, also, for the tip regarding the change in appearance of all cross-references. I was not aware of this, and I will certainly give it a try!
    David.
