A simplistic and short writing of a way working in such a sample [transfer of the first para of each cell of the second column to the corresponding cell of the first column]! var myRows = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem().getElements(), R = myRows.length,  r; for ( r = 0; r < R; r++ ) {     myRows .cells[1].paragraphs[0].characters.itemByRange(0, myRows .cells[1].paragraphs[0].characters.length-2).move(LocationOptions.after, myRows .cells[0].insertionPoints[0]);     myRows .cells[1].paragraphs[0].contents = ""; } Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ...

As often said, I don't find this "nested style" use really interesting! … See the result when no soft-return! More control with a Grep style! Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ... View more

Hi Pixxxel! It's a long time! … The demand was about a Grep code, not about an auto-numbering! Of course, if, for some "good" reasons, this numbering could be relevant, I could give such an advice! … But I read plenty of cases where the choice of an auto-numbering was totally irrelevant! … Here, no information about an hypothetical matter of deletion or addition of a numbered para! … Best, Michel ...

Just For Fun … But Not For Free! "Tatoo" is the last script I wrote! The user just selects the "pattern" he created [what he wants! ] and the similar objects he wants to be tattooed! … [I'll write later a "batch"version with UI.] … and he plays "Tatoo"! Even if Tatoo has a global undo, if the user is not satisfied by the result, he can modify the pattern or choose another one: … and "Tatoo" again! Of course, "Tatoo" loves simple shapes, ID effects and object styles! … Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ... View more

The management of math equations can't be seen with this alone perspective! It's a global complex process! [sample:  https://forums.adobe.com/message/8633520?et=watches.email.thread#8633520  ] Best, Michel ... View more

Hi Uwe, Not realistic! The specificity of a text importation containing maths equations mainly lies in the following points: • The importation of the equations as such. • Equations must remain "editable" (for layout, mainly font-size choices / "maths corrections" / Grep use). • The "live" management of the baseline. These 3 points are not taken into account by any of Kas's scripts. This is a very particular process made complex by the various sources an user can have! Best, Michel ... View more

An advice [for all and, for you, it's not the first time]: Say you're going to pay for fixing your problem! … and that will be done in the day! Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE [… but you already know me!] ... View more

Hi Trevor and Uwe, Kas' scripts about placing images have nothing to see with this kind of question! Here, we talk about Math equations! Such scripts or process already exist! … Trevor is right! As him, I personally don't really appreciate when I read "I need a script …" or "does anyone have a script like this? …" The only advice I would want to give to the op is: Make yourself really more researches on this question or avoid to make maths! I've made lots of scientific books by the past! [using Pagemaker, XPress, FrameMaker and InDesign, as layout-makers] I've always considered scientific books authors have the same problems as basic authors! … so, some years ago, before beginning to play with Javascript, I've built a "based on Maths" process that allows me to import and correct maths equations from various sources as Word, TeX, LaTeX or FrameMaker into InDesign. So cool! … Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ... View more

Hi, In the immediate future, I would think about 2 other possibilities! … Wait for an InDesign update! ... or just wait for me!    … until 4 different footnote numberings! [Script UI beta version - february 2018] Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ... View more

Hi, I read: a too big table I want to place inside a page! … So, just reduce it! (it took me 2 seconds -- no script, just InDesign and it's still an ID table totally editable!) Best, Michel, from FRIdNGE ... View more

Salut Loïc, Personnellement, je n'ai rien compris !  … Ou alors : Au départ, on a un cercle bleu avec du texte bleu sur le tracé en bas mais dans le cercle. On redimensionne [X = 12.4/18 %] le cercle [pas son contour] pour obtenir le cercle rouge ! … On en profite au passage pour réduire de X le texte et le passer au-dessus du tracé (à l'extérieur). Changement de couleurs en sus ?! Est-ce cela l'idée ?! Mes meilleurs sentiments, Michel, de FRIdNGE ... View more

Emmanuel, I understand what you mean! … I just say I find such a way really imprecise! You want to play with a char approach basing on the number of chars! … When you target X chars, then Y chars, and Z chars, you target in fact (until Y-1) chars, then (until Z-1) chars and (Z or more) chars! More boring, in my sample, (?s).{15,} [green] targets the range 15-19 chars including the carriage-return (19th). Note the empagement showed by the 18 "i" and the 18 "m"! The same chars number but not really the same empagement! Best, Michel ... View more

Jeff, You just confirm what I previously indicated in my posts 6 and 10, as possible explanation! … But I'm truly very surprised to read that, for you, "how they got there in the first place is secondary …"!

Just a quick question too, Jeff. Are you interested in helping people, just not trying to find the true reason of their problem and explain it to them? Personally not me! … and Yes! Your first post doesn't satisfy me because you didn't really explain why Hugh has a problem! … And I think it's the most important point here! … If Hugh doesn't know why, his problem will surely appear again! … Are not you ... an expert a little curious to know?  Best, Michel ...
