After this thread, I’ve studied again the matter and, not really satisfied, written a script I think more relevant!
With it, it’s not automatic [1 click], but the construction is really “pure”: 2 simple para rules!
The Key: the Script makes calculations faster than you and me to define the good length of each of them! … ;-)

Even if fun, not the way I prefer! … [Obi-wan was a Jedi using The Force, not a Scripter! …]

michel.allio.fridnge@gmail.comParticipantHi Mark,
I’ve written a [“for free”] script that removes all anchorings included in the paras-source [no need for you here] and updates ALL the TOCs created in the doc.
So, of course, you can have several TOC in a same doc and update them just with a click!

michel.allio.fridnge@gmail.comParticipantHi,
You’re totally right! It’s a Grep code weird behavior! … The way I used to eliminate the issue is a personal small script.

michel.allio.fridnge@gmail.comParticipantHi,
The true question I see is:
How are defined the sets of bullet paras? always 3 paras or something less systematic?

no Cross-Reference,
no Index, …… just a simple piece of text, a Script and 1 click! …
Even if the layout moves, you’ll always just need … 1 click!Best,
Michel, from FRIdNGEParticipantDavid,
After test, I really think it could be done as I said above [but we’ll need 2 clicks! …] because we talk about 2 docs:
English version vs. English version + text frames added for the dutch translation!So, imho, it’s simple:
1/ Open the “English version” and play this:
//————————————————————————————————————-
var myTextFrames = app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().getElements(),
T = myTextFrames.length, t,
myIDs = [];
for ( var t = 0; t < T; t++ ) myIDs.push(myTextFrames[t].id);
myIDs.sort(sortnum);
function sortnum (a, b) {return a > b};alert (myIDs[T-1]);
//————————————————————————————————————-
This script will give us the bigger ID of text frame included into the English version InDesign file ==> XXXX. [close this file without saving it]
2/ Then open the Dutch version and play this 2nd script modifying “XXXX” by the number given by the first script :
//————————————————————————————————————-
var myTextFrames = app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().getElements(),
T = myTextFrames.length, t;
for ( var t = 0; t < T; t++ ) if ( myTextFrames[t].id > XXXX ) myTextFrames[t].characters[0].changecase (ChangecaseMode.uppercase);//————————————————————————————————————-
Done! =D
The 2nd script will only change the case of the first char of a text frame IF the ID of this text frame is bigger than XXXX!
… More clearly, if that frame has been created later than the most recent text frame of the English version!Simply cool! …
Good night!

ParticipantSasha, play this:
var mySel = app.selection, S = mySel.length, s;
for ( var s = 0; s < S; s++ ) mySel[s].characters[0].changecase (ChangecaseMode.uppercase);With this light version, you’ll just need to display spread [2 pages] per spread on the screen and select all the text frames [by clicking or sweeping] where you need to change the case of the first letter! Not the text, just text boxes!
Best,
MichelParticipantDavid,
I let you try!
I’ld be curious to take a look to Sasha’s doc.! ;-)
ParticipantNot sure, David! … And, imho, not so simple!
When I read Sasha, I could think it could be done in 1 click!
… Because Sasha talks about a new “Dutch” version based on an “English” one where guys have added small text frames to cover english text with dutch one!
Maybe we just need to find the first one added in the doc! Logically, at the beginning of the doc and “loop” on the ID taking in account the “first one” ID!
In this case, it’s just a simple find/replace!
Clues:
Find: “\A.”
myFound[f].changecase (ChangecaseMode.uppercase);Best,

michel.allio.fridnge@gmail.comParticipantParticipantYou said:
“– All this should be done ONLY for selected text boxes (cause some other parts should stay unchanged)”
Have you often these “some other parts”?
ParticipantHi,
Could you share screenshots (with hidden chars)?
Best,
Michel, from FRIdNGEParticipantNo! … And you won’t see with “hidden chars”! … But if you associate to this numbering a cross-ref., you’ll see it!
