how to change indesign composer

I will change world ready single-line composer 

[Willi Adelberger]

It is done in the very same dialog you show us. I don't understand your problem?

Why do you need the World Composer? With which language do you work?

working indesign javscript. how change paragraph style >justification >composer 

[Manan Joshi]

Try the following

app.documents[0].paragraphStyles.itemByName("article_category").composer = "Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer"

-Manan

[rajas15536079]

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var para = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;
for (var i = 0; i < para.length; i++) {
para[i].composer = "Adobe Single-line Composer";

}

is not working

[Manan Joshi · Accepted solution]

Try the following

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var para = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;
for (var i = 0; i < para.length; i++) 
{
	if(para[i].name != "[No Paragraph Style]")
		para[i].composer = "Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer";
}

As a practice we should not also change the properties of Basic Paragraph Style, so the above code can be changed accordingly by adding the condition to the if statement. The reason your code was failing was that it would change the No Paragraph Style as well which is not permissible.

Thanks manan

Hi raja,

look into the property composer of object Paragraph or ParagraphStyle.

Apply this string as value for Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer:

"$ID/HL Single Optyca"

This will work for all language versions of InDesign that support the Adobe World-Ready composers.

Here the list of composer strings that are supported by InDesign CS6 and above:

/*

"$ID/HL Single J" > Adobe Japanese Single-line Composer
"$ID/HL Composer J" > Adobe Japanese Paragraph Composer

"$ID/HL Single" > Adobe Single-line Composer
"$ID/HL Composer" > Adobe Paragraph Composer

"$ID/HL Single Optyca" >  Adobe World-Ready Single-line Composer
"$ID/HL Composer Optyca"  > Adobe World-Ready Composer

*/
