Conditional Text Indicators Indicators such as colored wavy underlines or highlights identify conditional text. You can choose whether these indicators are visible or hidden, and whether they print. Don't confuse the visibility and print options for the conditional text indicators with the visibility (and thus the printability) of the conditional text itself. Paragraph-based Numbering Enhanced numbering and bulleted lists are paragraph attributes, and can be controlled by paragraph styles. If you need to change the formatting for a numbered list (for example, to change all numbers to another color), you will find that you cannot select the numbers themselves as you would select other text. Because the numbers are generated by the paragraph style, you must change them by using the Paragraph Styles Option dialog box. To control the formatting and color of numbers and bullets in such situations, you will need to invoke a character style that applies the desired formatting. For details on formatting numbered text, see InDesign Help. Numbering Styles If you can't select a number or letter in a list, it's being generated by a paragraph style that uses InDesign's auto-numbering feature. To change the attributes of the numbers (or letters), open the Paragraph Style Options for the style (double-click the style name in the Paragraph Styles panel). Change the options to alter the appearance of the numbers or letters. Here, the multiple-choice letters to the answers in the quiz have been changed from lower-case to upper-case letters. Variables A Text Variable generates text based on rules: In a Running Header, text is generated based on rules set up in the Variable definition. To edit the text generated by the variable, either edit the definition (Type > Text Variable > Define, and select the variable), or convert the variable text to plain text (Type > Text Variables > Convert Variable to Text) and edit the converted text. Note that plain text will no longer be changed if the variable definition is edited. There are nine types of variables: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Printing Guide 31
