MemberFirst paragraph with style “example” applied.
There is no unifying factor of what precedes it or what comes after.MemberDwayne: I never thought of doing it like that – I always had an additional style called “line before title” to add on the additional spacing.
Thanks for the tip!MemberKai:
Sometimes things that are obvious to some are new to others!
I learned InDesign by reading the CS2 manual around 10 or so years ago.. I don’t recall span being in there ;)
(They taught us Quark in school.)
Everything else has been through self-teaching or indesignsecrets.The images are coming up blank for me… so can you just let me know:
Does the script work on what I described above, which was non-bullet-ed paragraphs – just story styled text (indented, italicized with a space before the story and after)?MemberI stepped out for the rest of the day and came back to find a treasure! What a cool feature.
I would have never thought of using that.
I’ve already finished the manuscript and I’m not going to go back now through the 380 pages, but I will certainly be using this next time.
(Obi, I wish you would have had time from the get-go to explain! I didn’t bother googling… Always worth waiting For David to step in and explain things.)Thank you, once again, for being an amazing resource.
Dwayne – that sounds like a super pain. I almost feel like it would be easier to set up for print and then have someone go in and tweak for ebook afterwards….
MemberNot familiar. Can you elaborate please?
MemberSo what’s the bottom line, Dwayne?
Did any of the above links help?MemberNeither had I, until today (not that my ID knowledge compared to yours….)
The empty book was the least of my problems… Its just 6 files. Not that hard to recreate.
Counting down the days until this goes to print!MemberI am SO indebted to you!
It was in a dropbox folder. I was so focused on the ID aspect (and stressed) that I didn’t think of looking there.
I was able to restore it from there.
Would still love to know how and why this happened, and hope I never have to even think about it again :)Thank you for being such a great source of information.
(My friend told me to google a solution, but I told her I didn’t have the head for it and I know if there WAS a solution, I’d find it here!)MemberOne more thing – in case this makes a difference: in the folder, there is an ID lock file called ~dinner for two lun~k-(-_(
The missing file is the Lunch section, so I am assuming this had to do with that.MemberNo, I didn’t :(
I ended up deleting it from the master and placing it manually on the pages that needed it.But then, I duplicated the file as a base in order to work on the next section of the cookbook (will be combining with a book file) and one duplicate had the issue, while the other didn’t!
Both have sim. masters with different colors/headings/footers, etc.I was exporting as an Adobe PDF (Interactive) to keep the size down for proofing.
MemberI must hvae not pasted it before so it was using the old one.
It works now.
Thanks ever so much!Member> Do I understand correctly that I have to select each text frame and apply the script?
This was from my other post about the script!I don’t understand the last thing you wrote:
You get, what you want ;-)
[\xBD\xBC\d]+(\?\d)?\x20\w+\.?That takes the fraction and the text following, but not the number before the fraction.
MemberThank you for your reply, Kai.
Do I understand correctly that I have to select each text frame and apply the script?
It doesn’t apply to all the pages in the document. Is that right?MemberThanks!
Almost perfect.When I have something like
2¼ cups
it skips the first number and gives me the fraction and the cups.MemberThanks, David.
