1. Re: Searching for Nonprinting Objects
P Spier Jan 19, 2012 6:21 AM (in response to phyllisj9)Is this some sort of inline anchored object, or a real glyph? I have a feeling it's the former, and what you really need to do is have a script written that will find the anchored objects at the end of a story and mark them as printing.

phyllisj9 Jan 19, 2012 6:28 AM (in response to P Spier)Yes, it's an inline anchored object. Thanks for the help -- it's a minor annoyance in the scheme of things, but I might check out the scripting forum to make life a little easier....
Thanks, Phyllis

P Spier Jan 19, 2012 6:33 AM (in response to phyllisj9)One might also want to know why InCopy is marking them as non-printing.
Bob?
It might also make sense to have a custom font created so you can insert this as a glyph.

BobLevine Jan 19, 2012 6:36 AM (in response to P Spier)I have no idea. Without seeing the files there’s not much I can do, but I agree with you.
Those of end of story symbols would be much better as a font and then you could create a nested style for them.

Eugene Tyson Jan 19, 2012 6:39 AM (in response to phyllisj9)Haven't tested it yet, so be careful - perhaps do a Save As first
This might work...shot in the dark
Take one of the Inline Objects and give it an Object Style.
Make sure the Object Style is highlighted in the Panel when you have the inline object selected.
Now go to the Attributes Panel - and untick "Non Printing"
You will see the Object Style get a + beside it - you can now Redefine that style
Find and go to the Object tab
Find Object Format > Anchored Objects Inline
Change to
Select the Object Style

phyllisj9 Jan 19, 2012 7:56 AM (in response to Eugene Tyson)Hey, thanks for all the input on this.
How do you go about getting a font created? I remember playing with Fontographer back in the 90s, but I haven't had any such program since.
Eugene, I'll play around with the object style bit and see if that works.
Thanks, Phyllis

Well, I think that's how you do it. I googled quickly to see if there was anything, but came up pretty dry. Maybe you should start a thread here asking if anyone would be able to do it for you.

Eugene Tyson Jan 19, 2012 8:24 AM (in response to phyllisj9)I'm pretty sure my solution works... but I haven't had time to test it... sigh.
If you run into any issues I might have some time later this evening or tomorrow.

macinbytes Jan 19, 2012 8:45 AM (in response to phyllisj9)If you want an outline font editor and don't want to shell out bucks on it the open sourced FontForge is great. It's every bit as hearty as any other outline font editor, though not always as easy as some of the other offerings from FontLab. Great for making little ornament fonts or logo fonts.
