    Taylor, this happens normally, because something is based on [Basic Paragraph Style] and your defintions are different in your document. So check your settings …

    Klaas, you can also rename it while duplicating:

    docList[d].layers.item (layerList[check]).duplicate().name = "Unpriced";

    Didn’t have a look at it, but I assume, that previousItem() needs a layer and not a number.

    Try this line with Peter Kahrels Batch-Script:

    https://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html

    app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().locked = false;

    Hi guys, just another way:

    The look of a quotation-mark depends on the assigned language and therefore on the preference in Dictionary > Language > Double Quotes. The correct way would be: Change the look of the quotations here and then run a find: Shift+2, change: Shift+2 (either text or grep panel) and make sure before, that Preferences > Type > Use Typographers Quotes is checked.

    Why ist this maybe a better way than a simple find/change? Because if you type now quotion marks, you will get also the right ones.

    Scott, what is your problem with the book option?

    Sharlene, your goal isn’t clear at all. I would assume, that a script could open every file (or specific) in a book and do some merge stuff, but that need to be tested.

    Hi Masood, I have nothing in my pocket ;-) And I’m not sure, if this is possible, cause if you have more than one group, how should the script know, which group is selected?

    Hi Erica,

    without seeing your documents, it is difficult to give you a good tip here! The Primary Textframe doesn’t work every time as expected and sometimes the document pages lost their connection from the masterpage and it helps if you shift-select every document page and apply the masterpage again with alt-click.

    However: If you have two textframes on each masterpage and I assume you have facing pages and those frames on each page are threaded (even/odd), you can have only ONE Primary Textflow per masterpage, not two!

    So, if nothing happened, chances are good, that you have no Primary Textflow and maybe Layout Adjustment can help. But to give you a good tip, you should provide a example file with a detailed description, what you try to achieve.

    Yep. But life can be easier, if you e.g. select two frames with identical cells and copy your content from a > b:

    var oldTable = app.selection[0].tables[0].contents;
    app.selection[1].tables[0].contents = oldTable;

    Without studying your code, but if it doesn’t work in the UI, it won’t work with scripting too.

    So I would think in another direction: Create new tables, copy the content from a > b and delete a. Of course everything with a script.

    San Marco, I did’nt write here anything, because I tried this last week with the same conclusion as David in the other post: Simply unlink them. But it seems, that there is any kind of unwanted behavior.

    I’m not sure, if this can be solved with any kind of scripting, but you can send me a idml and one linked excel-file and I will have a look at it to forum@ruebiarts.de

    I don’t think so. Based on your situation, the digits must first be found (e.g. as character style or with GREP), then the hyperlinks must be created and maybe renamed. If you interested in a paid script, you can contact me directly at forum@ruebiarts.de

    Hi,

    you can use the include-command.

    #include “yourScript.jsx”;

    The scripts must be in the same place as your main script.

    Hi Bob, the good thing is, that you don’t need another script like Peters Batchexporter, cause everything can be included in one script :)
