I forgot I’ve written this script at 04/22/2017:

0149_RoundCornersTable-Batch_MichelAllio.jsx

Here’s its little brother:

0173A_TableShading-Batch_MichelAllio.jsx

[Alas, not for free!]

I’ve just included the shading feature!

Especially for Masood and Dwayne:

Dwayne,

You don’t know me! So, please, keep your comments about me in your pocket, like others.

Here, Ronald has 2 questions:

How to do it once?
How to do all in 1 click?

I answered these 2 questions …

To help you to visualize, you could make a small sketch with a pencil and a white paper (or another color if you want) :

A script can extract the Y-Offset of the baseline of the last line of the para [A] above the table [B], the height of this table and the Y-Offset of the baseline of the line-para that supports it, and finally, the Y-Offset of the baseline of the first line of the para [C] below the table!

These data for each table are enough to allow you to play!

So, with this scenario, I let you write the script to help Ronald, for free of course!

… and no need to thank me, I did it with pleasure!

Think different!

You have 3 aligned points A, B and C! … and a wire!
The points A and C are, say, 2 trees and B a waterfall!

I ask you to join the 3 points with the wire! Impossible because we can catch water? Absolutely not!

All is only a matter of point of view!

If you are able to apply a shading to the paras A and C but not B, apply a shading to cover A and C AND the space between them, occupied by the table!
I did it and you can do it too!

… but is it doable with 150-200 tables? … in 1 click!

Yes! It’s only a mathematics and code problem!

The first link mentioned by David could be enough! [not tested]

Just place the page number text block on a specific layer [Page-Number-Layer], duplicate it [Save-Layer], add the already given regex in the script code and limit the run to the first layer!

\d(?=\d{3})
$0,

… Reducing the font size?

Desactive the “wrapping behavior” of the caption text block!

Hi,

Here, we talk about the last word of each line of the para following a sentence end as “. “, “? ” “! ” …

The grep code I gave means that a grep style applies a “no-break” to “this” word [\w-]+ and its space that follows!

… So, it’s totally impossible to have at the end of a line in a para a single word after, e.g. a dot: It will magically jump to the beginning of the next line!

Of course, all the words in that situation (after a dot) are targeting by the grep style but no importance (e.g. in the middle of a line).
