Once we click on this option location, a Scripts Panel folder of InDesign will open. First, make right-click on the User folder and click on Reveal in Explorer option. Let me tell you how you can have your desired script here. What if you want to have your own script or want to use the downloaded script from an external source? You can also have this in the Scripts panel also, and it will come under the User folder of this Scripts panel, but if you haven’t any external script, then the User folder will be empty. For this time, I will go with the Document option and click Ok.Īnd you can see it resolve all formatting issue, and the text is perfectly arranged according to the type format.

Once we make a click, it will ask, you want to apply this on a document only or selected story. To resolve this, we can double-click on the ‘FindChangeByList’ script. Now you can identify there are unnecessary gaps, hyphens, and tabs. Let me enable hidden characters, and we can enable it from the ‘Show Hidden Characters’ option of the scroll-down list of Type menu. I have pasted this text in the text frame of this software, and you can see it seems this text is perfectly arranged. So with the next script, we can resolve it. When we paste text in the text frame of InDesign given by the client, we face many text formatting errors such as there may be an unnecessary gap, hyphens, tabs space, and so on. Now let me tell you one of the scripts which we can use for text. Now, if I click Ok, then it will align with the top left corner of the margin of the page. So I will again open this align script panel and enable this ‘Consider Page Margin’ option.

Once I click Ok, it will align like this, but I want to align it with the margin area. But, again, I will go with default options this time it will align our chosen object with the top left corner of the page. We use this script to align objects in a different manner, such as you can see there are some options in the panel of AlignToPage script. I will first select this rectangle and click on the AlignToPage script of the JavaScript. If you want to use any one of them, you have first to select the object on which you want to apply the chosen script, go to the Scripts panel, and double click on your desired script.

I will open the JavaScript folder, and you can see there is a number of the script in this list.
