ParticipantHi Kai,
Hope you’re well and had a great weekend.
Being a non-programmer, I’m trying to learn “JavaScript for InDesign” from a very long time. I have searched the web but didn’t get anything that can teach me the same. I have also gone through the course “InDesign-Scripting-Made-Easy” by Keith on Lynda, but fails to understand it. I then took a course in JavaScript, HTML and CSS from a reputed Institute. There I learned about the Web and the basics of JS. The instructors over there were unaware about the InDesign DOM and hence I’m left with no knowledge about the course I’m looking for.
The Keith’s course gives the basic idea about the DOM but not in depth. For example, how to read DOM, how to capture the commands and options from DOM and utilize them in the JS. There is a huge .chm version of the DOM by Jongware, I have downloaded it but unable to read/understand it.
Can you please guide me and recommend something in this regard. Meanwhile, I’m trying to get in touch with some Programmers, who are working on InDesign JavaScript.
Thanks in advance,
Masood
ParticipantMillion thanks for a quick solution. This is exactly I was looking for.
It’s good to have so much talented people in this community.
Once again many thanks.
ParticipantI too have the same thought but I’m sure people like Peter, Keith or Jongware can do that.
It’s a big challenge…
ParticipantDid I asked too much or is this impossible to achieve??
ParticipantThough, I do not know much about programming/scripting, but I’m sure it is not necessary to use t,
works fine in a script.ParticipantGreat!
I tried to wrap up the complete string as mentioned in your query. The idea behind this is to let you know how it works. However, it can be shortened if you just want to swap the First Tab with the Second.
Try this as well:
GREP Find Change:
Find what:^(.+?)(.+?)
Change to Format:$2$1ParticipantTry this:
GREP Find Change:
Find what:(.+?)(.+?)(.+?)(.+)
Change to Format:$2$1$3$4ParticipantAm I not lucky enough to get help on this. I need a script that fixes the table width equal to the text box (as mentioned above).
ParticipantNo, you can’t apply formatting in posts here. For the codes, you can use the HTML code tag to help differentiate it from the body text.
Secondly, it becomes easier for the members to answer to the questions, if some actual text is also supplied by the Post Creator. This way we can first test the solution at our end and then share the same on the Posts.
We look forward for some more challenging questions from your side.
ParticipantHi Rachel, Welcome to InDesign and its forum. InDesign, no doubt is a great tool with lots of flexibilty and options to work with. I would suggest referring to the “InDesign Essentials Training” by David Blatner on lynda.com
His recent Tutorial is available on lynda:

GREP Find Change:
Find what:(?<=m)3(?=/hr)
Change to Format:+ superscriptI guess you are on InDesign CS5. The \K works above CS5.
ParticipantTry this, you have to specify the name of the paragraph style in your Find Format options:
GREP Find Change:
Find what:(.)( - )$
Find Format:Paragraph Style: Names
Change to:$1August 25, 2016 at 10:02 am in reply to: Applescript question: Deleting empty column from table #87813ParticipantHI Aarona,
I would suggest posting AppleScript related questions to the AppleScript dedicated site:
https://macscripter.net/viewforum.php?id=2
Hope you’ll find your answers there.
ParticipantParticipantI think you are talking about page numbering? If so, try expanding the text frame holding the page number on the master page. The Text frame width is not quite enough to hold the page numbers with three digits.
