Member@hrishib: Glad to help :)
March 7, 2014 at 9:34 pm in reply to: Font shown even after all fonts were converted to outlines #67495MemberDavid–thanks for the link–I’ve read it before and I know the arguments.
I’m just amazed that some printers still insist on outlining.
I’m in book publishing and thankfully they don’t require that nonsense.

March 7, 2014 at 2:01 pm in reply to: Font shown even after all fonts were converted to outlines #67489MemberDavid–I admit I am still puzzled about why some printers want the text converted to outlines. It makes no sense to me.
Thankfully all the printers my company deals with don’t require that.
And it must be a pain if it comes back for corrections and you need to add type. I’m guessing folks keep the original ID file, then if corrections come in, they correct that. Save the file, and then create outlines again? That must be a workflow nightmare.
March 7, 2014 at 5:11 am in reply to: Font shown even after all fonts were converted to outlines #67480MemberIt’s the slug line.
I just did a test with an InDesign file with no type in it. And when exported to PDF it shows Helvetica when I have the slug line checked.
The only way to avoid the font showing up is unchecking the slug line when exporting as a pdf.

Member@ThompsonText:
Our work flow at work is similar. We actually put the CS number in the name of the job folder we set up for each job. That way–the folks in the shop know automatically which version it is.
Some publishers are still using CS5, some 5.5, and some CS6.
There are actually a few (not many) who are only using CS4 and want the jobs kept in that version.
MemberTony–I’m not sure what your variable is for, but I normally set mine up using a character style instead of a paragraph style.
For example, I use them for running heads in the books I do. Normally it’s the CT paragraph style sheet, but sometimes there’s a CT2 for a two-line chapter title, CT3 for a three-line, etc.
So I create a blank character style called runninghead. I tell my variable to use that character style for running heads.
Then I nest that character style into all my chapter title style sheets. I tell it to nest until it sees an end nest command.
That way, the running head works for all three style sheets.
I’ve used a similar approach when the running heads are certain heads in books as well, and for dictionary-style running head books.
I seem to always use a character style for my variables instead paragraph styles.
In your case, you could use the same approach and use that character style in both of your paragraph style sheets. That way it will work for whichever one is on the page in question.
Hope this helps
DwayneMemberThere was one of the magazines here that helped with such a thing. Unfortunately, it’s way too long for me to try to explain.
But it involves changing the text language for those lines to arabic and then playing around with the alignments.
It was Issue 56 (October/November 2013).
I don’t know if you subscribe to InDesign Magazine or not, but it’s worth it.
Sorry I can’t be of more help. Hopefully someone who has used that workaround will chime in.

MemberYou’re right about that, Masood. I’m on a Mac, and the backspace key is actually labeled “delete,” so I’m used to calling it that.
February 18, 2014 at 3:42 pm in reply to: Help with bullet formatting. Superscripting problems #67243MemberI just included something in my last post. Be sure in your basic font settings in your character style that the position is set to normal.
February 18, 2014 at 3:41 pm in reply to: Help with bullet formatting. Superscripting problems #67242MemberDavid, though I’m not the OP, I did want to point out:
A lot of open type fonts don’t have all the fractions in them, and using the open fraction styling doesn’t always work. The article even says that only a few of the bundled fonts would work that way.
The only ones in the glyphs are 1/2 1/4 and 3/4.
Anyway–I’ve worked on a lot of books (usually cookbooks) where I could not use that feature as fractions as 1/8 3/8 5/8 etc were used as well. So I used a script I had downloaded for CS4 and still use in CS6. I forget the name off hand as it’s on my work machine.
NOTE TO THE OP: In your basic settings in your character style sheet be sure that “position” is set to “normal.”
February 18, 2014 at 2:30 pm in reply to: Help with bullet formatting. Superscripting problems #67239MemberIn your character style sheet be sure to go to “advanced character type” in the character style sheet be sure to type 100 in the vertical and horizontal scale fields, as well as be sure baseline shift if 0.
MemberIf I understand your problem correctly, I believe the text wrap is on the circle.
1) Select your text box with the letter in it.
2) Go to “Object” in the main tool bar
3) Scroll down to “Text Frame Options”
4) Check “Ignore Text Wrap.”I think that is what you are looking for.
MemberAll you have to do is go to that character style, highlight the font itself and hit “delete.”Then close it and reopen and the font field will be blank.
Any attributes will remain.
Now the character style sheet will pick up the font of the paragraph style sheet.
I’m in book publishing and many books require different fonts. So my character style for italic just says “italic,” and nothing else. That way I can use it for multiple fonts or for my templates.
If I receive a file with character styles, I normally take out the font family (unless it’s required) and things such as leading (since that’s in the paragraph style).
