MemberThanks David
The second approach worked. Made the one with transparent type and for the top one, made the body copy no fill and kept the dates 100%.
MemberSo if I do that, which I just tried, how do i distinguish this new font when creating either a paragraph or character style from the other dingbats I’m using for other sections. So if this new Indy Font is called IndyFont and I insert it where it needs to be on the section page and my Paragraph or Character style is called dingbat, won’t my style either pick up Indyfont for all my dingbats? or am I not thinking about this correctly?
MemberHi David
Thanks for sending me this. I think I follow how to do this, but want to confirm and then am a bit unsure as to how to run.
I opened the script in TextEdit, then added this as a sample.
text {findWhat:”1″} {appliedParagraphStyle:”Running Head right”} {changeTo:”one”} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all number 1 and replace with word one
If this is correct, do I have to save the file back to the original location and with the original script name of FindChangeList.txt or can I give it a new name such as FindChangeList-mod.txt?
When I opened in TextEdit I had to authenticate and it created a copy.
Any further insight would be good.
Thanks

Turns out I had changed my color space from when i started the project to the FoGra39, but a couple of chapters still had US Swap assigned. So I re-assigned all chapters to the printer’s desired color space.
Also, someone on the InDesign forums posted this interesting script that can check for different image color assignments and can also update them if necessary. The site is in German, but if you download the script and load it into InDesign, the dialog boxes show in English. Link: https://www.rolanddreger.net/de/1/farbmanagement-in-adobe-indesign/#

MemberAnother InDesign color conversion question. So when exporting a PDF from an InDesign book file (.indb file), I get the message, “your documents may have different source color profiles defined resulting in unexpected output.”
Is this just referencing the fact that I have placed images with different color profiles or is this telling me that individual chapter documents have different color profiles? I’m working on a 200+ page book with images from different sources that I have left as RGB images (all have a color profile assigned, just not all are the same). The PDF is set to convert images to FoGRa39 on output.
Just want to make sure I’m understanding the warning correctly.
Thanks
MemberThanks. I actually tried something similar and it works ok — I anchored the chart and gave the chart runaround and then positioned on the facing page. However, when there is more than one chart reference on a page I can’t anchor the chart to the 2nd reference and then position the chart on the following spread, so may have to figure something else out.

Your suggestion worked. Just had to create one extra header for text character style for my Section Title so it didn’t link to the Chapter Title.
thanks for all your help.

Just tried this and no luck.
So my running heads are set up on my master pages as Type variables. I have two variables: Running Header (for the left page) and Running Head Right for the right page. Running Header is keyed to Section Title and Running Header Right is keyed to Chapter Title. Both the Section Titles and Chapter Titles in the text of the book have Brace charteracters ({ }) before and after.
I created a new Character style as you suggested (based on none with the settings you suggested). Then edited my paragraph style which is applied to my running header text variables on the master page, adding the GREP line you suggested. It didn’t work. Then since I used braces and not brackets, I changed the \[ and \] to \{ and \} to see if that would work. Still not working.
MemberWill try this later. I assume I will need to apply the character style “header text for header” to the brackets in my Chapter Title?
MemberSo created a new blank Character Style called running head and then applied it to the running text variable head on my master page. Set up the Nested style as you suggested and it doesn’t work. My text variable is set as a paragraph style and keyed to Section Title. If i change it to a character based running head, nothing gets put into the running head. Am I doing something wrong?
MemberHow do I exactly apply the brackets as a style?
MemberFound solution on the link page David provided. Do have another issuei just discovered. Have running heads for chapter titles. Some chapter titles were long–require 2 lines– so I initially created a 2 line chap title style. However realized that my running heads won’t pick up this style since they are keyed to the regular chap title. Since there were only a few, I changed style back to the regular chap stlyle. The only problem is that these 2 line chapter titles are adding an extra space before the page number in the running head– there is no space at the end of the chapter title, just a paragraph return. Anyone know why this is happening or another solution.
