Michel Allio for FRIdNGE
ParticipantToo fast post and no possibility to modify it! [grrr!]
Take this code [better! even if the previous works]
/*
_FRIdNGE-0811_SelectionToBeVectorized.jsx
Script written by Michel Allio [07/04/25]
See: https://creativepro.com/topic/split-outlined-text-words-in-to-individual-letters/ [07/04/25]
*/app.doScript(“main()”, ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, “Selection To Be Vectorized!…”);
function main() {
var mySel = app.selection[0],
myChars = mySel.characters,
C = myChars.length, c;
for ( c = C-1; c >= 0; c– ) myChars[c].createOutlines(false);
mySel.parentTextFrames[0].remove();
}ParticipantSelect the Text in a text frame and play this Script:

}Done!

“The book needs to use only 100% black type… But somehow some instances of black variations have crept into the document and I would like to identify them and replace with 100% black.”
So just a simple Grep Find/Replace:
Find: [Black] color (that means any tint, including of course 100% tint!)
Replace by: [Black] color + 100% tint(^/) The Jedi
ParticipantBetter now to take a look at this article written by Peter Kahrel this summer about the InDesign 2024 new “Case” feature:

ParticipantSimplistically, but fastidious if you do it manually! … [it could be scripted and just need “1 click”! — contact me in private]
Considering each “Sub-section” as a “InDesign section”, you will have to type this for each first “Sub-section” page in its “Numbering & Section Options” settings:
Section Marker = “Section I, subsection A, page ”
Just change “I” by “II”, “I” by “III”, “I” by “IV”, …
Just change “A” by “B”, “A” by “C”, “A” by “D”, …https://snipboard.io/dkgiTm.jpg

ParticipantHi,
In fact, as usual with InDesign, it’s so simplistic:
3 Para Styles [of course, everybody will understand that the “Level 1B” para style is” invisible”!] + 3 simple Regex [run 0 to reset, then 1 and 2!]

https://snipboard.io/qoCrcK.jpgAugust 27, 2024 at 6:54 am in reply to: Turning Characters in a Numbered List into Hyperlinks #14405942ParticipantHi David and Peter,
Use Auto-num is a good and simple idea! …
https://snipboard.io/5Ougam.jpg
1/ Use Auto-num in the current para style “xxx” [“NEW! “], not in the TOC para style “xxx_TOC”, and in the TOC Settings don’t forget to choose “Include Full Paragraph” in the “Numbered Paragraphs dropllist.
2/ If not useful, make the “xxx” para style auto-num not visible.
3/ in the “xxx_TOC” para style, include 2 Grep Styles:
a) NEW!(?!~j) + “Invisible” Char Style
b) NEW!~j + “Blue” Char Style
Now just go to the current text and add a “non-joiner” char at the beginning of each “NEW!” recipe! … And update the TOC! ;-)

ParticipantParticipantHi Peter,
I’ve studied Dave Saunder’s script and sure using the “DropCap” feature is really clever!
But I don’t find explanation about these 3 last code lines:
var normalizedKernAmount = (neededShift * 12/myChar.pointSize) + .5;
myPara.insertionPoints[0].contents = SpecialCharacters.hairSpace;
myPara.insertionPoints[1].kerningValue = normalizedKernAmount*-1000/12;I suppose “12” and “.5” are linked to the use of the special char “hairSpace” but Dave doesn’t give us more info!
So, truly perplexe!

Participant… Using a very old Script written for a Client 6/7 years ago: just precise at 4,000%!
Here, “black color” = before the Script, “red color” = after the Script, zoom at 1,102.3%:
