Dwayne HarrisGlad we were able to help.
Dwayne HarrisGood idea about the GREP style, Scott.
Dwayne HarrisMagnifying glass. Ooops
Dwayne HarrisYou can just search and replace on them. Copy the registered symbol into “find what” field and the “change to” field.
In the bottom “change format” field, click the hourglass. Click basic character formats. Then where it says “position” select superscript.
Replace all.
Dwayne HarrisThe “Units and Increments” preference lets you change it. But you don’t need to hold down the option key to move anything up or over. Just have the mover tool, click the box and use the cursor keys.
Dwayne HarrisSo far as I know, they can’t be saved so it will show up automatically in the open window.
Dwayne HarrisAs of when, Karsten? I’ve been making rounded corners in text boxes for years.
Dwayne HarrisGlad you got it working.
Dwayne HarrisMy only thought is bad preference and trashing them.
Dwayne HarrisI admit, I’ve never had that problem.
I think it’s just a thing of your justification and what InDesign considers a good line break.
Are you using the paragraph composer?
Dwayne HarrisAre you trying to make a separate style just for space above or below?
I put the space into my main style sheets.
For example, a header (HA) might have 18 points above and six points above.
An extract will have a line space above and below.
I set them up in my main style sheets.
I have no idea why what you’re doing is causing it take on the characterics of the text below. And so far as I know, you can’t create a style or shortcut to add space the way you want.
On option (though I would never use it), is to create a style that is blank except for (in your case) leading of 0.0625″. Then you type in a hard return below that head apply that style to it.
But, like I said, I would never do that–though I have seen some designe files where they’ve done it. I immediately change the stylesheets to fix that problem.
Dwayne HarrisI’m not sure what to tell you, Ward. I know they recommend they say to keep the Times.dfont in the system folder, but for me it causes a conflict.
I normally don’t work on books that use Times, but sometimes I work on some mass market books, and they use Times. So I have to take it out of my system folder.
I do that alot–take it out when working on those jobs using Times and putting it back in later.
Dwayne HarrisI’m not sure what a prelim is, as I work in book publishing. If it’s anything like an un-numbered photo section in the middle of a book, I’m have to count to see where the middle is, and I don’t know of anything automatic.
But to me it’s pretty simple. If my book is 320 pages then I divide by two, then around page 160 is where the photo section goes.
Or am I misunderstanding?
Dwayne HarrisI am lousy at GREP and would have done it the old-fashioned way.
1) Search for any letter + two digits + slash and replace with the color red (or another color that wasn’t being used).
2) Search for any digit that is color red and make superscript.
3) Search for color red and make black.
But that’s just me. I mainly work on books and there are so many variations of things, that some GREPS wouldn’t work. Like your example, David (no offense). For a cookbook, the vitamins B1, B6, B12 would be inferior. But if there are endnotes also in the job, those numbers next to a letter would be superscript. That sort of thing.
But I know I definitely need to learn more about GREP and this site is a great place to learn it.
Dwayne HarrisGlad you got it open. That was a long time–but again–that file was pretty bloated with information.
