MemberDragos, please sent me a detailed example with all steps between the startpoint and final result to infoATruebiarts.de.

MemberHi all,
there are several problems here!
1. CS6 is only conditionally suitable for export to EPUB. Many features like putting divs around images to honor specialties for iBooks and ADE are only included in CC and above. So if someone wants to have good results with CS6, he/she must dive in the code and work e.g. with GREP in BBedit to complete missing things.
2. Anne Maries training give a good starting point. It cannot deal with all exceptions. Otherwise this training must be 20 hours or longer. A lot of exeptions are discussed in Liz Castros Blog. So, to view and understand AMs training and to read every post in Liz blog, would take probably more time, than is available.
3. CS6 doesn’t support Fixed Layout!
So, first there is a need for an example. Then a decision, if the publication is suitable for one of those two formats (fixed or reflowable) or maybe not! This depends on the orientation of the images.
Then Mary needs to find out, if she wants to learn all those stuff or take money in her hand and let the work do by a professional.

MemberIf someone does this, he should check in InDesign and in the final output, if the image-element does not overlap a stroke! I had some minor issues on screen here … even when Clip to contents is turned on, but could be hopefully a display problem!
MemberWith a bit of caution ;-) The following lines should convert all graphic cells in header rows to text cells in all tables in the document. It will only honor a header row in the first row of a table!
var everyHeaderRow = app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows[0].getElements(); for (var i = 0; i<everyHeaderRow.length; i++) { var curHR = everyHeaderRow[i]; if (curHR.rowType == RowTypes.headerRow) { curHR.cells.everyItem().convertCellType(CellTypeEnum.TEXT_TYPE_CELL , true); } }MemberDragos, you should spent some more love to your examples. Otherwise I have no interest to help you here!
You wanted something, that anchors your frame to the new page edges, but doesn’t scale the image. But your example on page 2 shows a scaled image, that fits to the heigth and I’m not sure, where the different width comes from.
Said: It is clear to you, how the final output should look like. That’s maybe not the case for the readers here.
I could write such a script for you. But first, you should think of a solution out of the box.
Kai
MemberDragos, I’m not sure, if I understand this correct! It would be better, if you provide a idml-file before, with wrong scaling, with correct scaling.
However: Your screens doesn’t show object based LL-Rules. That means,
– Select the page tool
– Click with the black arrow on the graphic frame, while the page tool is selected
– Open the Liquid layout panel
– Set handles for width and anchor to topNormally there is no scaling, if you do it in this way.
And important: Don’t click on Auto-Fit!
Kai
MemberIf you do it in your way, the cell is of a type, called ‘GRAPHIC_TYPE_CELL’. If you cut the graphic, the cell becomes a type of ‘TEXT_TYPE_CELL’ and in this case important, it stays at this type, if you paste the graphic back!
Kai
MemberTry to use my tip! Otherwise provide a example file.
MemberWhich version of ID do you use? If I test this with 2015.4, everything is displayed correct on all pages (no matter if .eps or .ai) but in the final PDF (PDF/X-1a) only the first header show the image. So, the good news is: Your files shows more than mine ;-) The bad news: Think you find a bug …
Cause if I cut out the whole graphic frame (not the image) and paste it back (set the indents to 0), it works here.

MemberHi Dragos,
what is mising, if you turn on Liquid Layout > Page Rule > Object-based, content Autofit, Object constraints: height or width ??
A script would do the same thing?
Kai
MemberSteve, please contact me directly at info[at]ruebiarts.de.
MemberSteve, well you could first test xtags from EM Software: https://emsoftware.com/products/emtags/ or this one: https://www.bitmix.de/ if this goes in your direction.
Additional to that, you could provide a before/after InDesign-File (e.g. via dropbox).MemberNo, I do not know anything about a existing script.
Your provided script from Chinna, does throw an error here. I use instead a Script from Roland Dreger.
Back to your question: It is not clear what ‘in-text style slugs’ are for you?!
If you try to insert tags in your document, you will surely get overset.However: Inserting tags seems possible. But since such a script is special and took more than 5 minutes, it should not provided for free.
Kai
MemberSo Steve, what is your question?
September 21, 2016 at 1:17 pm in reply to: Make everything bold before (and included) a colon using GREP? #88562MemberNancy, it is easy to ask something, and type the answer in the find/change field. But your goal should be to understand what you did.
In your first case, you search for the beginning of a paragraph, followed by something, till you reach the position on the first In.
So maybe: ^.+?(?=In) will work.But this will help you only with your first task.
If you have a large list of items, this is maybe possible or maybe not. This depends on your text.
However: In the last years, it seems normal, that someone ask for a script, and someone write it for you. Today it is clear, that there are to many free scrips available … so you will not get a complete solution (from me)
Kai
