Setting the alt text as XMP:Description in Bridge, then relinking in ID, works. But this is not an option for vector figures and icons formed as paths in ID; those require ‘custom’ alt text. So I’m still stumped. I can’t imagine no one else has encountered this…? Help!
Anyone? I should add that all stories have been added to the Articles panel. Seems like I’m doing everything right, but others have gotten alt text to work in CS6, no?
Sorry to hear, Katie.
I’m not sure why you have to go back to front when converting bullets; as long as all the bullets of a given numbered list are part of the same story, you can select all and convert them at once, right?
OK, I went back to that post and now it makes sense. Tried your script: brilliant!
In case this helps anyone else parse that post: Kai’s script cleverly applies a condition (using Conditional Text feature) to the tracked changes, which colors them with a highlight.
In the Place dialogue, you can choose to keep Word’s tracked changes, and they remain tagged as such in ID.
Thanks again, Kai!
Thanks Kai. I saw that post but didn’t quite follow it.
Those script solutions only apply to changes made within InDesign, right? Whereas I need to style changes applied in Word. (I admit I’m not experienced with the TC feature inside InDesign, but it looks quite basic.)
@Dave2theC, LOL…
I am having major slowness issues when selecting text on an innocent, unbloated, uncomplicated file. I have trimmed down my activated fonts… logged out the OS and back in, exported as IDML and reopened… not fixed!
Thinking of downgrading to El Capitan because of other issues and this is just more confirmation.
A very late thanks, Kai, for clarifying! Never thought of entering unicode values, nor that they were shown in the Info panel. Cheers.
Hi Kai,
Thanks for your response!
I think your first ‘find’ must have gotten garbled in the forum formatting… ?
I got it to work with this instead:~8\s(.)(?# Find bullet character & space & any character)
And the #2 routine works great. I just figured out why, so this is for the benefit of any other GREP novices: it looks to the first character of the next paragraph; if it does NOT match the specified bullet paragraph style, then the Change (to the ‘last’ bullet par style) is executed.
Very helpful; thanks again!
I think I get the weekly ‘duh’ award. At some point I knew this easy solution, but had obviously forgotten it! Thank you for reminding me, Ari. (And apologies for the late response.)
I’ve heard that one, too, Kelly (and thanks for posting). Unfortunately when I reopen the .idml file the flow has changed dramatically; it’s changing the applied base object style(s) for each text frame so each frame has inset applied. No idea why.
When I remove the inset small bits of the text are still flowing differently. As the book’s already indexed, this is a problem!
I did test the book part though and it seems to solve that. But with these issues — and the potential for others I might miss — it may be as fast for me to link each TOC entry by hand.
(CS6, by the way.)
