Different Intends at same Paragraphstyles

[Asparagus81]

Hello.

My problem is the following:

I have a text with headlines, sublines, copytext etc.

All elements are assigned with paragraphstyles.

The copytext has an intend in the first line.

My problem is, how can I automate/grep it, that every first paragraph has NO intend in the first line.

Example:

HEADLINE

COPY NO INTEND TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT.

      INTEND TEXT TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT.

      INTEND TEXT TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT.

COPY NO INTEND TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT.

      INTEND TEXT TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT.

      INTEND TEXT TEXT TEXT

TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT.

Thank you.

This is, how it should look like.

Hi,

Try this code:

var myDoc=app.documents[0];
// list your Head levels
app.findTextPreferences = null;  
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.documents[0].paragraphStyles.item("H1"); // change your head style 
list = app.documents[0].findText(0);  
// For each found item  
for (i=0; i<list.length; i++)  
{  
// a. Check the *next* paragraph for your body text  
if (list.paragraphs.nextItem(list.paragraphs[0]).appliedParagraphStyle == app.documents[0].paragraphStyles.item("para"))  // change your paragraph style
// b. If so, remove indent  
  list.paragraphs.nextItem(list.paragraphs[0]).firstLineIndent = 0;  
}  

Thanks,

Prabu

Hi Prabu!

Nice! Personal use:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;  
app.findGrepPreferences = null;    
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "H1";
myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
var F = myFound.length;
for ( var f = 0; f < F; f++ ) {
    var myNext = myFound.paragraphs.nextItem( myFound.paragraphs[0] );
    if ( myNext.isValid && myNext.appliedParagraphStyle.name == "Para" ) {
        myFound.paragraphs.nextItem( myFound.paragraphs[0] ).firstLineIndent = 0;
    }
}

Note the modification on line 08!
