I don't believe you need to "escape" the < or > or /, so search for (<url>)(.+)(</url) and replace with $2 and add your formatting.

A little clarification would help.   Are you looking for a Pantone solid (spot) rendition as process, or an actual Pantone swatch from the process library?   Do you already have a swatch defined and applied?   If the type is already colored with a PMS solid color, I would tend to advise using the Ink Manager to convert to process, rather than redefining the swatch. You may decide one day to run this using spot...

Windows and Mac files are identical.   The only issue you'd have is if you have an earlier version of InDesign.   Bob

Ah yes,   But the point is that the printer should have a template set up and sitting your file in the template and centering it should in theory mask the unwanted pieces of the crop marks.   But it's clearly not the case here. Some printers, I've learned, just are old fashioned and need things a certain way. I disagree with them making you go the extra mile in supplying a pdf that suits their needs. It should be...

I don?t see any way how you could make different PDF files to open different sowtwares by just doublecliking... you have to somehow tell you computer where you want to open your PDF, double-cliking doesn?t contain that information..   I always keep Acrobat my default opening software for PDFs. If I sometimes want to use some other software, like Preview or Illustrator, I right-clik (or control-clik with single button mouse) and...

Thank you. My script is now working! You just choose a paragraph style from all the styles in the document, and it tells you what styles are based on it. Very primitive compared to yours!   Ariel   mylist = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles; toDisplay = MakeDropDown (mylist); myresults = "The following styles are based on " + toDisplay + ":"; myfinds = false; for (aa = 0; aa <mylist.length;...

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?   No -- copying from Word to InDesign uses the regular interapplication clipboard, and is copied as plain unformatted text.   "Without linking to the Word file" ... well, it is a user preference (in the Preferences panel, no less) to link to text documents or not. I think you could defeat the automatic linking if you import the entire...

Defaults in Indesign are assigned when you change something while nothing is selected. So, to change the default for an open document, make sure no text is selected, and no text frame is selected, and change what you want. This will only change defaults in the active document. To change defaults for all new documents, do the same with no file open. You cannot change defaults for unopened files or several files at once.

You never know what this could be for if it is a business card. It could be the only thermograph printer in a 400 mile radius that prints foil embossed cards with tangerine smelling scratch-and-sniff inks. You play by there ballgame or you don't get the supersmelly business cards.

And we get to save some trees...   F1, baby, F1.
