ParticipantI can’t figure out if I can specify anything called first tab. However, you can replace any character before the tab, try this:
GREP Find/Change:
?Find What:.(?=)
Change to:character(s) or Text of your choiceMasood Ahmad
ParticipantNo, Frutiger font do honour the Superscript/Subscript feature in InDesign. Are the Superscript character style okay, I mean does it have the ‘Superscript’ option selected under the drop-down list for the ‘Position’ under the ‘Basic Character Formats’.
The code should work as I tried it my end and it is working fine.
Secondly, there is no need to create two GREP Styles, instead both the symbols can be clubbed together:
GREP Styles:
Apply Style:SuperScript
To Text:(~d|~r)Try with some new text in a new file (if still not working) and let us know.

ParticipantOr, for the next code you can also use:
Apply Style:
Price & Additions
To Text:(?<=\d).+Masood Ahmad
ParticipantTry this:
Apply Style:
Price
?To Text:£\d+Apply Style:
Price & Additions
?To Text:(1/2.+)
(PS: I hope it will always be 1/2)Please note that you can only use character styles as a default while working on GREP Styles.
Check this and let me know if it works

ParticipantHi Paul, welcome to the forum. Just need to know more about your query.
1. What exactly you want to achieve?
2. what are these / ? Are these tab symbols, line break?
3. The style you have used in your GREP Style section “Price” is not mentioned above.
4. How would you like your final output to look like?Please advise so that we can understand it better?

Participant@Christina, Since TradeMark, Registered symbols are already superscript, so there is no need to superscript them again. But doing this will make them Superior/Superscript i.e. very tiny.
I hope you are inserting the TradeMark, Registered symbols either by Right click or from the Type Menu > Insert Special Character > Symbols > [select the symbol you want to insert]
It is also possible that you are inserting TM characters (T and M) and then making them superscript, in that case GREP will not recognise them. So you have to tweek your GREP code to read the T and M characters.
In order to achieve what you want, the code is given below:
GREP Styles:
Apply Style:SuperScript character
To Text:(~d|~r|~2)
(TradeMark, Registered, Copyright symbols) any of them.Hope that helps. If it still doesn’t work, then I would request you to provide me the unicode value for the TradeMark character that you are using.

Participant@Mathilde, How about creating two GREP styles i.e. one for SuperScript Digit(s) (in between the para) and the other for the Normal Digit(s) at the beginning of the para. Like this:
GREP Styles:
Apply Style:Super-Digit
To Text:\d+Apply Style:
Normal-Digit
To Text:^\d+Note: Keep the order as shown.
Hope that helps :)

Participant@Eugene, but that will only change the size of the Document. It will not adjust the pages. The Layout Adjustment works, but it fails most of the times. The adjustment has to be done manually. I think I have heard about some script, but not sure.

ParticipantBut that process will give you PNGs. So you have to convert them to your desired format.

ParticipantTry to change/reset the Workspace. Check if that helps.

Participant@Stuart, I tried the Content Collector tool with “Create Link” option. The tool works fine if I keep the linked page at original size.
However, if I change the size of the linked page, update it, then the things get messed up.So, Content Collector is not a good idea to go with. Any other tips, script, plugin etc.

Participant@Barry, I tried that already, but it seems that the InDesign is not as fool as I’m :)
I was working on Testfile1 with four pages.
I created another file Linkfile2 with two pages and placed/linked the first two pages from Testfile1.
I then placed/linked the two pages from Linkfile2 on pages 3 and 4 of the Testfile1.
But when I made some changes to page 1 and 2 in the Testfile1, the InDesign fail to update them on page 3 and 4.@stuarth, I’ll give it a try, but I doubt Content Collector will not create a link, i.e. it will update itself if the content on page one and two change.

ParticipantI would suggest to link/place the pages of the Master InDesign Document to the smaller Catalogue InDesign file. This way it will remain consistent and if there is any change in the Master document, then you’ll be prompted that something needs to be updated.
Masood Ahmad
ParticipantHow about importing selected pages from the Master Document to the small Catalogue file. This way they will remain consistent and any change in the Master Document will pop-up a message that something needs updating.
Masood Ahmad
ParticipantHi Barry, I appreciate your response, but I know this already.
It is not about importing one InDesign file to another. It is about linking the pages of the same indesign file, multiple times in the file itself. I hope you got my point.
There is only InDesign file.
