Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:59 pm Post subject: Applying global paragraph styles to imported documents |
|
Greetings and Kudos to the NeoOffice team!
I really appreciate your efforts and hope to shortly make some $ contribution toward your labors. Don't ever go to bed thinking you're unappreciated by lack of feedback!
I just got on board with Neo Office and would like to know whether it's possible to apply paragraph styles to "style blank" imported documents in a global fashion which assigns and links like-paragraphs by ruler measurements throughout the document in one stroke. It would be VERY useful for hundred-page screen and teleplay manuscripts. If it's not in cards via OO, can a script be written to accomplish the same thing?
Thanks! |

Welcome! (your handle seems very familiar from somewhere....)
In the event you don't get a helpful response here (likely since we're more attuned to the Mac-centric issues than general usage), you should check out http://www.oooforums.org for general usage support. 99% of the usage help for OpenOffice.org/Mac (X11) applies to Neo/J and 99% of the usage help for OOo/Win/Lin applies to OOo/Mac. Those few percent where the "cross-platform" things don't work is where this forum is strongest
It sounds to me like it should be possible with a macro (there's also a macro repository at http://www.ooomacros.org/), but that's about all I can say

Greetings Sardisson:
Your rapid response is much appreciated!
I occasionally haunt some word processor forums so that's probably why my inititals seem familiar unless I owed you $ way back when, in which case I'm not the guy.
For some reason http://www.oooforums.org/ pops up a dead link for me. I'll check it out. I also wish to know whether it's possible to assign function keys to a style applying action.
Thanks.

Oops, that should be http://www.oooforum.org
Sorry! It redirects on my Mac, which is I guess why I didn't notice....
(And I'm not owed money by anyone, so it must be from the former....)
I saw something about a screenwriting macro last time I skimmed that site, which might be what you want.
As for the second question, you can check Tools>Configure>Keyboard and see if Style applications appear among the function OOo (and thus Neo/J) let you assign keystrokes to; otherwise, I think you'd write a macro for the Style application and assign the function key to the macro....
