ParticipantI am going to try my hand at writing a script for this but Like i said before.. I have NO scripting knowledge, this will be my first attempt so it may take a while.
ParticipantPeter,
I am trying to learn/understand coding myself. From what I see, wouldn’t that script apply the ‘Hide’ character style to the last two characters in a line that ends with a discretionary line break; even if the line ended with a discretionary line break following a letter?
ex. This is my sentence(Discretionary Line Break) with a dlb.
If the text needed to be broke at that dlb wouldn’t the text read:
“This is my sentenc
with a dlb.”??
Just trying to understand for myself.ParticipantThe cross-reference tool can do this.
- Fisrt, Insert the cursor where you want the reference to be.
- In the cross-referene panel click the button to ‘create new cross-reference’.
- Make sure the Link To: field is set to
Paragraph. - In the destination section select the paragraph style of the note that you want referenced; Select the note in the box to the right.
- Select
Page Numberin the Format: field. By default this will show a reference to your page as ‘Page 20’. You can edit this as you’d like by clicking on the pencil button to the right of the Format: field. (Just make sure you don’t delete any part of the ‘<pagenum />’.)
Click okay and your cross-reference will be set.
If the page that the note is on moves you will need to click the ‘Update cross-references’ button in the cross-reference panel and it will update the page number in the reference.
ParticipantWouldn’t the blue dotted lines go away with hide frame edges if it were one of those, David?
Participant- copy the image and place in place.
- use the pen tool to create a path through the image and close the path below th image.
- shift click the image to select both the image and path
- use pathfinders to ‘subtract’
- copy the current selection and paste in place so the top half is duplicated over the image.
- shift click the bottom of the image to select the top half and full image and use pathfinder to ‘subtract’ again.
this will get the top half of the image you want
if done correctly you will end with two frames that split the image
I hope this works for you.. if Ari S. sees this he may be able to write a script for this that would be much simpler but i have no scripting knowledge as of now though i do plan to learn.
ParticipantYou will need your section titles to be numbered as well. In the section title paragraph styles create a new list with both numbering boxes checked and assign the level to 1. Then in the Figure names paragraph style choose the same list that the section titles are saved under and assign that list to level 2. Then check the box to restart numbering after any previous level.
If you have numbered subsections then you will need the subsection at level 2 and restart after any previous level. Then the figure names style will be level 3 and restart after 1.
I hope this makes sense.
ParticipantA simple GREP search for
[^€]will find anything that is not a euro sign. Alt+click on the layer with your euro prices to lock all other layers before you do this or it will delete everything except euro signs in all layers. Leave the change to field blank and change allParticipantThere is actually a pre-made query for this called “Remove Trailing Whitespace. It removes any white space at the end of a paragraph.
When you select the query it shows+$- The
+looks for any white space character one or more times. - The
$looks for the end of a paragraph
.
So this query expression would read “find one or more white space characters followed by the end of a paragraph.”
ParticipantFind:
^\rFinds any paragraph marker at the start of a paragraph.
Leave the Change to: blank and change. However, If you use double returns for spacing this will remove the extra returns.ParticipantI’m assuming the word Address would not be in the document. but rather the actual address of the person.
ParticipantFind:
(?=.+)
ReplaceThis simple GREP Should work for finding the first of two tabs. However, if you would need the first of three tabs this expression would need to be altered.
The positive lookahead(?=.+)looks ahead but does not select any text after the first tab that is followed by a tab.ParticipantI don’t know if you can set the captions up to come in like this, but you can use GREP to find/replace without the return.
- I would start by placing placeholder text around the metadata caption. (e.g., Text before [Headline]: *caption* Text after [Author]: *caption*)
- Generate the captions as static captions (I’m not sure why, but live captions won’t work for this.)
- Use GREP Find what:
\*caption\*(.+)\r(.+)\*caption\*Change to:$1 $2. - Click change all to remove returns from all captions.
I hope this will help you.
ParticipantI’m not sure about putting a checkbox before the number, but you can somewhat add it after the paragraph number using a wingdings font letter q, r, o, or p. Create a new character style with wingdings set as the font family. in the numbered list paragraph style set a nested style of your wingdings character style through 1 letter. Each time you have a new paragraph you will need to start it with one of those characters.
There may be a better and easier way to do this, but I don’t know it. Maybe someone could use this as a base to better achieve the result you want.
ParticipantShortcuts work differently in different sections of a document. go into the
Editmenu and clickKeyboard Shortcuts. From here you can find duplicate in the Product Area:Edit Menu. Check that the Default: showsShift+Cmd+Opt+D. If not you can create the new shortcut in aDefaultContext:.I've had somewhat of an issue with this myself, though instead of shortcuts failing to do what they are suppose to do they had somehow been assigned to something else.
Participantit looks as if you have the numbering set to continue from previous and the 4 is a continuation of the chapter number. I’m assuming you are using the chapter numbering in this same way, and you are wanting to restart the figure numbers after each new chapter and continue the image numbering throughout the document? I don’t know if there is a way to do this.
