There may be a better way, but if it really is unstyled from MS so you can bulk replace styles, I would think nested styles would be good. What did you find that makes you not want to use them?

Fantastic. Sometimes, google is great, other times, it’s just better to come here and ask. Thanks Brian

Thanks Adam, that kind of thinking is what helps me learn!

Well, after a nights rest, I saw that I could use a circle spline, rotate it -45, extrude, make it an object then use the knife in plane mode to cut off a straight end leaving the other end angled.
I’d still appreciate any other ways to do the same thing but I figured out a way.
Thanks!

Select all the splines in the Object Manager, right-click and choose “Connect and delete”
that will make a new spline of them all and delete the old ones. I just tried that to be sure and it worked fine.
I aligned the ‘ends’ close together and then did the above.

When I ran the preflight on the 2nd pdf, there were some glyphs missing from the typeface so make sure your font is loaded.

Why not open the PDF in Acrobat, add the movie there and try it?

What format is the list in? Can you use XML to apply a tag that could be read inside InDesign upon import and then colored?
Maybe there’s an idea there…. use something else to format that list via XML or other then set up rules in InDesign to format.
Another more painful way is to maybe think about setting up 5 or so text boxes sized to house only one name and styled w/different colors then flow copy between them. Then, you could have a copy/paste party…
Just some ghetto ideas there… there’s probably a more elegant scripting way but I’ll have to look around as it’s been some time since I’ve used InDesign “(!)”

Is it actually italic or is it rendering an oblique face to say a font is missing? Can you save as something else, delete all objects (images/text boxes etc) and then put new type down and try to style it?
Or, dupe and change the name of the particular style, go in and actually reselect the typeface.
Or maybe it’s just a nesting issue…. text frames can get wonky.

That’s all about Photoshop if I were doing it. Get the basics done and post-it via Photoshop
