    Not natively, but I wonder if a script would be able to do that. I did a bit of searching and didn’t find one that seemed to do that. You can do it manually by spread: Select All, then click the trash in the Animation panel.

    @Andrea My guess would be that it is a Sharepoint issue. This thread here discusses some of the hoops that one team has to jump through. Granted, they are using in5, but this disclaimer makes me think it’s mostly Sharepoint causing the headaches.

    “Disclaimer: It is SharePoint, so sometimes things work perfectly and other times, it gets fussy and what worked for one site doesn’t work for another site. Not sure why, but are pretty sure that SharePoint does these things on purpose just to make us think we are crazy.”

    I would suggest taking one of your files and changing the hyperlinks to a non-Sharepoint destination, just to see if you have the same issues. And if it still isn’t working, you can reach out to the Ajar support team (which I’m on) at support@ajarproductions.com.

    That’s usually a permissions issue. Check permissions on that file or its enclosing folder and make sure you have write privileges.

    I’ve seen this issue before and the issue is in Excel (and how it’s sending out the information). I’m not very good in Excel, but maybe this article will help you figure out the issue?

    I can’t get it to work right for the final line, so you may have to do a forced return after the very last line (it’s odd because in the sample above, it finds three instances, but messes up the last line). Then do:
    Find: (.)(\r)
    Replace with: $1$2

    That gives you 11.00[tab character here][para return here]
    If you want it to all end up on the same line, then replace with: $1 only

    You can’t replace with something else (in this case, nothing) in a GREP/Paragraph style…only apply a character style to the found text. There are ways of making it LOOK gone (like tiny font size and fill of none) but I don’t like that since the character is still there.

    If it’s just that you want to only do this to a certain character, you can do this in Find/Change and only search by Paragraph style (choose in Find Format box). But if it’s always “:” then you don’t need to use the GREP tab…just the Text tab will work fine.

    Sure thing! It’s a pretty greedy expression, so just make sure it doesn’t grab what you don’t need. You could always go the GREP style route then do a text find on SM and just go through after to make sure it didn’t grab anything you don’t want. I often do that for safety.

    You can build that into the para style….use GREP style in a para style: apply Superscript char style to SM (but this would also superscript the SM in CHASM…not a problem if this is the only place SM would be in all caps). You can always do it via find/change and manually okay each result to be sure.

    Is the SM using a character style? If so, you can search SM in that style (don’t even need to use GREP)…but that all depends on if it’s styled and what you want to do with the found text. Or are you needing to find SM and style it?

    Another thought: number using a character style where the “numbers” are in something like dingbats…then use F/C to find those glyphs and replace with the glyph you need. Still would need to convert to actual/static text first.

    Erica Gamet

    The only way I could think of doing it, is to convert to actual text (when you’ve finalized your copy). Maybe use the 001, 002, 003 option, then use Find/Change to replace it? Not sure if there is a way to use the Glyph tab of F/C to replace the previously auto numbered item with a glyph via unicode. Throwing the idea out there in case anyone else can add to this.

    I don’t know of any way to change that info…but usually if you have something set to none it just doesn’t list it. I’ve often wished it was organized more in a bulleted list type, rather that attribute + attribute + attribute, etc.

    I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking for…text wrap is set on the graphic item, not the text. You can set up an object style for the graphics frame so that you can always have the same amount of wrap.

    You can create a “blue” character style and build a GREP style into any paragraph style that needs the blue V. If you have multiple styles where this occurs, they’ll each need to have the GREP style built in (unless they are all based on one style, then you just need to change it in the parent style). Also, if you have another character style applied already, it won’t work (one char style allowed). You could also do a find/change if that’s easier. And for that you could just use the text field, since you know which specific character you need to change…Find: V and Change formatting: blue character style.
