Intricate paragraph style

[hendy_5450]

How can I get the text to go to the second tab each time there's no place & the text moves down

see below.

[Eugene Tyson · Accepted solution]

Use a left indent for the 2 to move over - don't need a tab.

Then put a tab after 2 between red peppers

Then use a First Line Indent to push over the 2nd line

If you don't want to or can't use indents and want to use multiple tabs and just flow the text under some other

like this

You need to insert the Indent to Here charcter

It's the dagger like symbol as shown here - and text flows to this point

[hendy_5450]

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I still wnat the '2' and 'red peppers sliced' there.
'into strips' needs to go under 'red peppers siliced'

[Eugene Tyson]

I gave you 2 ways.

The 2nd way achieves what you want - don't use a hard return to get to the next line - if you need to go next line use a soft return (shift + enter/return key) 

Then use the indent to here character. 

But the best way is a left indent + first line indednt - as shown in option 1 

[hendy_5450]

I understand your two options,

my question was though how to get it this way as part of a PARAGRAPH STYLE so I don't need to be on top of doing this each time the text flows under

[Eugene Tyson]

The screenshots show the settings for the Paragraph Style 

[Eugene Tyson]

Sample file attached with both methods as styles

For tabs - adjust the Tab section in the paragraph style - note  you need the Indent to here character.

For the indent style - you need to adjust the left indent and the first line indent in the paragraph style. 

[hendy_5450]

I'm really not clear what to do.
adjusting the left indent, makes ALL ingredients indented.
I don't need the ingredients indented.
All I need is that when there is no more room it should go under, but at
the same tab, as I shown above.

[Eugene Tyson]

The left indent should be say 20mm

Then then first line indent should be -20mm

Did you try the example file?

[hendy_5450]

this is what I get when I do this.

[Eugene Tyson]

You haven't sent any images.

If you want to drop a file I can fix it up for you.

Attach here or you can send me a link by DM.

Happy to help you set it up. 

[hendy_5450]

Yes,

your test file works well.

It doesn't work on my file though.

How can I attatch my file only to share with you?

[hendy_5450]

still not working

Hi @hendy_5450:

This screen shot pertains to a different post—https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/stlyle-on-only-one-word/td-p/15327466.

I'll try to move it over for you but you do want to continue the capitalize the first letter conversation over there since this thread pertains to hanging indents.

[hendy_5450]

Got it.

It finally worked.

Thank you for all your help in figuring this out.

Can you help me help me with another style,

what would be the simplest to use, to get each time I have the word tps. in my ingridient stlyle, it should appear with a cap T (being the the stlye is set on lowercase)

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker :

While I applaud your earnest and consistent efforts to manage me  on the InDesign forum, I'm unable to see a correlation between @hendy_5450's question on spacing and capitalizing the T in tps.  

~Barb

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

I'm not managing you, just thought that's the correct link. 

Here is the right one - for anyone interested:

[hendy_5450]

Yes, but why wouldn't it be working?
It worked when it was the only grep style, but why wouldn't it work
together with another style?

[Eugene Tyson]

The dot '.' is a grep code for any character. And in this instance it's messing with the pattern.

. represents any character at all it's a wild card.

You need to use \. for a dot - the \ is the escape key so it looks for a . and not any character. 

so your code would be if you want ot include the dot is

\b(t)(?=bsp\.\b)

But you don't need to do this because 

\b and code ending with \b wraps it a word boundary.

so it won't matter if it's tbsp. or tbsp: or tbsp, etc. 

once it finds tbsp it will change the first letter to Tbsp

If you include the full stop using \. you're limiting the scope of the pattern.

But if that's what you want then go for it.

[hendy_5450]

I understand it should work,

but see how it's not working!?

Do you see what I'm doing wrong or can I share the file with you?

[Eugene Tyson]

And your Character Style is definitely set to All Caps? 

See the original screenshots I shared 

If you like - copy that piece of text to a new file - save the file as an IDML and attach it to the forums. 

With a sample file I can sort this out for you no problem at all.

Another thought - maybe the font doesn't support All Caps - that's a possibility I hadn't thought of originally. 

Maybe it needs to be accessed through the Open Type menu. 

Can you please let me know what font it is? 

Thanks

[hendy_5450]

the font definitely does.
when I select text and put on the 'caps' character style it works perfectly

Is there a way I can just share it with you?
