Cannot find style name

Scroll Prev Up Next More

This InDesign processing message occurs when a diary is generated using InDesign and a command is encountered requiring the use of a style which cannot be found, using the style name supplied the corresponding macro resulting actions, or saras, or the FormatText macro function.

 

Remember that, in all cases, if you are trying to apply a box, table or cell style to a template that is not the main grid of the script (or if your script is not using the use main grid as seed generation option) then you should make sure that that template contains at least one object that uses the style you plan to use (you can then set that object to be automatically deleted by the use of a zap token such as [1Zd>0] for example). Failing to do this will most often cause the present message.

 

This message can also be due to the use of the FormatText macro function, using a style name that is not spelled exactly, including upper and lowercase, as it appears in the scanned template properties.
