Parenthesis in Font size in InDesign

Hi @Really?3 ,

in this case it could be scripted with e.g. ExtendScript. One would gather all stories in a document and loop through all text frames of every story and work with the method redefineScaling() where the default values are defined effectively as 100% for x and y direction.

var doc = app.documents[0];
var storiesOfDoc = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
// Outer loop all stories; inner loop all text containers of a story, leaving text paths alone

for(var s=0; s<storiesOfDoc.length; s++ )
{
	var textContainers = storiesOfDoc[s].textContainers;

	for( var t=0; t<textContainers.length; t++ )
	{
		try{

		textContainers[t].redefineScaling();

		}catch(e){};

	};
};

Note: If a text frame's scaling value of x and y is different, you'll see that expressed in character width changes after running the script.

I cannot delete this comment, but i figured it out. I was looking at the incorrect "transform" option. 

Hi @Greeneyedpainter ,

when Scaling "Apply to Content" is already the default setting after you installed a new fresh InDesign.

So from Adobe's side there is not much to do.

Hi @julipires ,

what did you try exactly?

Can you share a sample document?
