    Thanks David for your quick response. Good suggestion but I dont know what I'm doing that is not working. I selected Edit/ keyboard shortcuts/ Product Area: Tools/ Toogle view setting between default & preview.

    I would like to toogle between, Preview, Bleed & Slug. Like you do when in the tools you select for example the Type tool & either you use (T) or Shift (T) toogle between those 2 options.

    Jongware,

    Sorry for MY ignorance but copied & pasted your script into ExtendScript Toolkit & save as .jsx on the scipts folder in ID. When I run it I'm getting a Javascript error number 4 Error string “Underterminated string constant”

    Thank You Jongware! Wonderful & clear explanation :-)

    “One note: this method will give you a list of just those numbers. Is that really all you need — the numbers, nothing more?”

    That is exactly what I need. Like this:

    789-456-123

    741-852-963

    159-951-753

    Page 562

    748-985-698

    125-985-963

    I found an obstacale, the expresion d{3}[-]d{3}[-]d{3} works but it is also finding phone numbers 895-780-4080 which technically is part of the expresion & correct but I don't need them. I know grep is greedy but then What is the correct grep expresion in this case?

    thanks Jongware but how do I superscritpt the last 2 digits of the price if there no decimal point to identified them. The prices info is poured from a database system & the designers have to manually superscript the cents amount based information provided by the vendors.

    Do I have to add a period to the price so grep can identified everything after the decimal point?

    Or I was thinking something like:
    after $ symbol is there is 6 digits then superscript the last 2. $119999

    5 digits then superscript the last 2. $50299

    4 digits then superscript the last 2. $3150

    3 digits then superscript the last 2. $678

    (The digit amount is never going to be more than 6)

    Is that possible?

    My question is related to this post but not exactly.

    I'm using Helvetiva Neue 75 bold for the prices. The $ symbol needs to be superscritpt & the last digits of a price (would like to insert an image but I dont have an URL). Also I don't the like the spacing (tracking) before or after that Helvetica leaves when a number “1” is used. So I created 2 different character styles:

    • The $ symbol (superscritpt)

    • If a number “1” used it will adjust the tracking to minus -50

    Example $1999 or $11199. The $ symbol & the last 2 digits need to be superscritpt. There is no . (periods) in the price

    I'm applying the following grep style in the paragraph style:

    $ will apply the character style called $symbol (which is superscritpt)

    I dont know what is the xpresion to find any instances number “1” and adjust the tracking to minus -50 & how to superscritpt the last 2 digits of the price.

    I tried d{1} to find any instances of the number “1” but it is not the correct one. Grep is really powerfull but only when you know what xpresion to use.

    Thanks

    I frequently use Data Merge & it is pretty good. Thank you for all your hardwork Jongware.

    Yes, I know and believe me I'm opposed to make PDFs this way but I'm a contractor-freelance following instructions. The employer have a plug-in for batching to ps which works wonderfully but there instances when there is corrections to 1 page and I rather use the print-save as ps method because I can select specifically the page number I want in a multipage document.

    Yes, each page page needs to be saved as .ps then into a pdf

    OK I tried again & tick the Facing pages option & all pages shifted a little but it worked. The client doc has odd & weird bleeds. I draw some guides that helped me to position everything in the correct place. Thanks Eugene :-)

    Im still curious why if I need to paste the contents into another doc. why I'm getting the pink highligthed text if the fonts are loaded in the font manager

    Before opening InDesign I temporary loaded the client fonts using Universal Type font manager & then I tried to change the client document to Facing pages but InDesign doesn't let me to have a page next to the other even if I change the section number. That's why I'm trying to copy or move the pages to a new document with facing pages

    David,

    Never mind I found it. To keep myself update I'm subscribed to the magazine but I read it when I have a chance. Unfortunately at work Im still using Quark & I don't see their intentions to switch even though most of client ads & custom designed pages are coming in InDesign. So far I have been patience because I know it is just matter of time for them to switch to the reality that InDesign is better & more efficient program. Sorry I need to vent it
