  If the table header row is only one row, this script seems to work.But if there are two table header rows, this header is again basically dizzy and hopeless. dupeTopRow(myTable); myTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myTable.rows[0]); /** * duplicate the first row af a myTable * @ param the myTable * @ return void */ function dupeTopRow(t){ var newRow = t.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, t.rows[0]); var newCell = newRow.cells var lr = t.rows[1].cells for (var i = 0; i < newCell.length; i++){ newCell[i].properties = lr[i].properties; };

Hi, I would like to format a text with Indesign so that the first two text frames have a larger font size and then return to a normal font size. Do you know how I can do this? I have tried nested styles and greps but still can't get it to work.Thanks  🙂

I want the “alert(”Existing table header“);” to disappear automatically in 2 seconds!I found a code from the internet and it doesn't seem right. $(document).ready(function() { // Show warning box $("#alert-box").fadeIn(500, function() { // Automatically turns off after a certain period of time (e.g. 3 seconds) setTimeout(function() { $("#alert-box").fadeOut(500); }, 3000); // 3000 milliseconds = 3 seconds }); }); My original code.var cell = app.activeDocument.selection[0].parent; var myTable = cell.parent; firstRow = myTable.rows[0]; //add 1 row at the table top if ((firstRow.rowType !== RowTypes.HEADER_ROW) && (myTable.rows[0].cells[0].contents !==contName)) { dupeTopRow(myTable); myTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myTable.rows[0]); /** * duplicate the first row af a myTable * @ param the myTable * @ return void */ function dupeTopRow(t){ var newRow = t.rows.add(Locatio

Hey,I can't find anywhere how to copy effects applied to the object (e.g. drop shadow, inner glow, etcetera) to another object.Is that possible?

Ich habe eine Tabellenzeile abwechselnd mit Grau hinterlegt. Nun möchte ich NUR die Textinhalte kopieren und an anderer Stelle in derselben Indesign-Tabelle einfügen. Leider kopiert es mir jedesmal die Flächenfarbe mit. Was mache ich falsch?

Looking at my preflight panel to check the errors on a multi-page doc. I am getting 2 overset text errors. But when I go to the specified area of the doc, there is nothing. I tried everything - I deleted everything off the spread, and the error still remains. There is nothing locked on the spread. I checked all layers of the documents and even checked the master pages to no avail. What's weird is if I copy and paste the contents of the page to a new doc, the error is gone. I have tried individually deleting all the type boxes and the error remains.   Please help!<Title renamed by Moderator>

Hi I’ve run into an interesting challenge trying to convert my print book design into an EPUB in InDesign. I deleted the table of contents. But KindlePreviewer 3 gives the error message below when I try to download as EPUB, saying TOC hyperlinks have been found without target text anchor info.  I’m concerned that if I do what the error message says, (which is make text anchor in soucre paragraph), the document will still have a print TOC and that will mess with the EPUB’s TOC with hyperlinks. Here’s the process I went through to try to fix the problem:On the contents page, I selected the text frame the TOC sat within and deleted the frame.Then I deleted the page that the TOC was on.Then tried to download it as EPUB and got the error message. So I followed online instructions as follows:Deleted the para styles that I had applied to TOC body copy and chapter heading. Created new chapter heading para style.The TOC was not linked to a specific table of contents fil

 So I booted up InDesign beta on my Surface Pro 11 and it's completely broken.  I can't open documents.  The user interface is messed up.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I tried rebooting.  I just can't use it at all.

Hi is there a way to anchor captions to photos? I am anchoring my photos to text then generating static captions. The static captions are always too close to the photo so I drag the caption box down a little.But when I delete a blank page somewhere in the document, it moves the captions away from their photos following that page I've deleted. I googled solutiosn and it said to group the photos with their captions but InDesign won't let me select a photo and its caption and group them. It will allow me only to select one or the other. 

Hi, I am having issues when Exporting a InDesign file. It keeps cancelling export and says there is an issue on page x. I have no clue what the issue may be.Further, when I remove that page and try exporting again, it says there's an issue on another page. It even cancels exports for pages e.g. 25-40, saying there is an issue on page 5. Does anybody know how to resolve this?

Hello all. In a text frame, when I attempt to add a new line where much space still exists in the frame, hitting "Enter" doesn't simply go to the next line and enter the text. It disappears and bumps to an overflow frame, as if it is too much for the current frame, which it definitely is not.  Any help will be much appreciated. 

We are preparing Black and White images for offset print.The images will be printed on a black backgrounds and the printer suggested using this rich black mix in indesign: (50/40/30/100). I am now scared that the RGB images, that I will convert to CMYK (PSO Uncoted v3 Fogra52, as the printer suggested to export with) will turn out in a different black than the background set to the printes rich black (50/40/30/100)..I converted my images in Photoshop to the printers colorprofile, but in the darkest areas, the image has a composition of about 88,60,45,89.I suppose printing these images onto the black pages will result into a darker or ligher "frame" around my images due to the different composition.I thought about making my own color profile but am unsure about some values.Is there any way to tell an image its darkest value should be composed of something like 50,40,30,100?Does it matter if the rich-blacks of the background are slightly different than the ones of my image?50,40,30,

Experts, I need some quick help. I'm working on a project (due in a couple days, of course). The .indd is saved in a cloud folder. I've been adding and editing it from two different computers (both Mac OS Sequoia 15.5). Everything was fine, until it wasn't. The entire message, on both computers is: "Cannot add data to "file name.indd". The file, "file name.indd" is damaged (Error code: 6).  I've tried downloading my file an opening it from my desktop. Same result. I also tried changing the Preferences > File Handling > Document Recovery Data Folder. Didn't work. What's going on? What can be done?  Thank you!

I would like to suggest, specifically within the paragraph style options, the addition of a confirmation checkbox for an option that automatically creates character styles. For example: when we import a fully formatted text with italics and bold, and we need to change the font, these character styles change automatically.

I have a document containing of one paragraph of text in 26 languages, among which Russian, and Greek. I placed the unformatted text in a clean Excel file and saved it from there as a tab delimited txt file (I need it to be tab delimited, because of specific layout settings in InDesign.The texts in Russian and Greek show without issues in Excel, and the font set I'm using in InDesign has the full range of characters for 26 languages. When I straight copy-paste the text in InDesign there are no issues.When I import the tab delimited txt file in InDesign the error message tells me that the document contains characters that cannot be encoded, and in the preview all the text, except for the ones in non-latin alphabet (they appear in all underscores). The same happens with a number of (but not all) characters with accents on or under them. I'd appreciate any tips or pointers to solve the issue, if anyone knows.Thanks!

Can't find the original post.Sorry to the original author.I'd like to add to the original script that automatically generates the stringer line, the spine line.But for some reason, I can't recognize the variable “myMouthWidth” for the stringer. //Drawmouth myDrawLine([myY1, myX1+(myMouthWidth), myY1-(myCropMarkLength), myX1+(myMouthWidth)], myCropMarkWidth, myRegistrationColor, myNoneSwatch, myLayer); //myDrawLine([myY1, myXCenterA +(20/2), myY1-(myCropMarkLength), myXCenterA +(20/2)], myCropMarkWidth, myRegistrationColor, myNoneSwatch, myLayer); 

  Both of these problems occur in my workflow because of switching between MacBook Pro and an external display (HDMI). Which happens multiple times per day. That makes this really uncomfortable:   1) Invisible Pages and Objects/Designs. Every time I switch beween Mac an external display the whole pasteboard turns grey. Only solution that I found for this is restarting Indesign.    2) Auto-Resizing of the application. Indesign jumps back to some earlier application size. Maybe from the Macbook or the big display. I don’t really know what’s happening. Happens especially when switching to presentation mode and back (Shift-W).   Short screen recording attached   Is this community the right place to let adobe know about these problems? Or does anybody have the same problems? Or a solution?   Thank you.     <Title renamed by MOD>

I am having problem with tables and text disappearing in some of my InDesign-documents with more than 50 pages. The textframes are still there, but all text or tables are gone (as you can see on the screenshot). Has anyone experienced this and know what to do? Adobe has guided me to save on Adobe cloud, and so far it works, but I have all my work on Dropbox and would like it to work there as well. The content always disappears on a page that I am not working on at the moment, so I can only see that it has happened when I scroll through the pages. Once it happened in a document with 246 pages, and suddenly on approx. 10 of them, and only some of the frames on each page.
