I actually ended up making that object styles video. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TWcp6Bmr9qeJo

[@Hassan-yu6em]

Your sense of humor is on another level :) Thank you for this tut ! keep it up !

[@DaveConrey]

Thanks so much

[@MiA_Kenkon]

Ahh man. You're a legend. I really struggle to concentrate on most tutorials, for reasons I won't bore you with, but your teaching style has made this so fricken clear to me. Much appreciated. I will subscribe, like, blah blah blah :D

[@DaveConrey]

Thanks Samantha. Happy I could help.

[@danielnikolov2860]

Sometimes there is just this one missing bit of information that you need and you don't want to go through a whole tedious tutorial to find it but in this case it was a joy watching the tut from start to finish. Love your _style_ and going to be back on your channel for more tips!

[@DaveConrey]

Thank you. Glad I wasn’t too tedious 😁. Perhaps I can also help by fine tuning some time stamps.

[@ZorkBork321]

I have to recreate 5 pages of a magazine spread for my advanced type class and this was a real life saver, thanks!!

[@andreafryettstudio]

Oh thank you so much!!! A client just oversold my InDesign skills to a new client! Like novice to pro kind of oversold! These tutorials are going to save my life!

[@DaveConrey]

TheWillowOFRainCity hapoy to help.

[@eiffeliza]

Great video! It was a good length for me and I liked the entertaining style which made the technical topic less dry.

[@DaveConrey]

Eliza Jones thank you Eliza. Glad you enjoyed it. I also made another one about Object Styles last week, if you’re interested in that topic.

[@AffirmingArts]

Finally, someone went through all of the different things I've been looking for. Love your video. Very thorough. 💕

Thanks Dave! You are great! Your lesson and your jokes are just wonderful!

[@DaveConrey]

Joel Barish thank you Joel. I appreciate that a lot, especially the jokes part 😅

[@lanapeckmusic]

Yes, Dave, Object Styles, please! Thank you! I’ve been working in Quark 9 and CS4 and now have to jump to CC exclusively. Old dog, new tricks needed.

[@DaveConrey]

lanapeckmusic ok, so full disclosure. Object styles are a bit of a mystery to me, BUT that just presents an opportunity to learn more about them. I will add it to the list of explorations and talk about them soon.

[@DaveConrey]

Hi @LanaPeckMusic, I just wanted to let you know that I made that video about object styles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TWcp6Bmr9qeJo

[@DaveConrey]

Glad you enjoyed it, Marcy.

[@kirabornemann2741]

I LOVED this video, you had me cracking up the entire time while I was learning. Thank you!!!

[@kirabornemann2741]

When you shake your head like crazy about using Comic Sans hahahaha

[@DaveConrey]

Thank you. I’m glad you found it both funny and helpful.

[@danmarie6907]

this channel seems like its going to blow up soon, quality content dude 👍

[@DaveConrey]

Oh My Good Goth thank you.

[@gethealthywithelena]

Wait, I was watching this thinking you would be a famous KZbinr. Your videos are amazing & professional! Thank you so much!

[@DaveConrey]

Well, thank you! Best compliment ever! It’s taken me awhile to find the groove, but I’m in it now.

[@zdouce674]

I love the 13:54 dropping the style onto other paragraphs!

[@DaveConrey]

happy to help

[@rohansharma4652]

Dave! please give us object styles! This was one of the best videos I watched. Retention 100%.

[@DaveConrey]

Rohan Sharma see the pinned comment above. Link in there.

[@rohansharma4652]

Dave Conrey I’m already 5 minutes into your video explaining object styles! Thanks.

[@Kevin-tl4zw]

Thanks man!

[@DaveConrey]

You’re welcome.

[@nvwest]

Maybe a project about dyslexia might maybe allow for a comic sans font? Apparently, it's one of the easiest to read for people with dyslexia. Forgot where I got that from.

[@DaveConrey]

I can't say I'd be able to speak on that with any authority though.

[@fermarti2623]

Thanks Dave

[@DaveConrey]

Fer Martí my pleasure

[@OddClarity]

Appreciate the vid.

[@DaveConrey]

Thanks so much

[@galiciaeleana8]

I want to know more about object styles!

[@DaveConrey]

Eleana Tuley I got you... kzbin.info/aero/PLqSkTJyiOcRuPs9N_T23477WERGfwq1EA

[@PumpkinPails]

This was driving me crazy! I was setting up Paragraph Styles for my document, but whenever I applied them it would switch the font size to 14pt instead of 11pt like how the style was set up. I deleted and re-deleted the styles and nothing was working, and then I found out I had set up a Character Style and that was overriding the Paragraph Style at some point, once I deleted that it started working normally.

[@DaveConrey]

GummyTumor yeah, whenever I get type that’s not acting the way it should, I go directly to the character styles palette.

[@pratprat8655]

Nice video. I way too long for me, but helpful at the end.

[@DaveConrey]

Alexia Prat thanks. Hope you still got some value.

[@pratprat8655]

@@DaveConrey Absolutely. :)

[@tonyajackson3872]

Object styles. Please and Thank you!!!

[@DaveConrey]

I finally did tackle that one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TWcp6Bmr9qeJo

[@TaylorBallweg]

When I quit indesign and reopen the next time all of my paragraph styles (as well as color swatches I've chosen to save) disappear! How do I get them to save?

[@DaveConrey]

Ok, so the paragraph styles follow the document, and a new document will need new styles. You can get the styles back by importing them from a previous document. You could also set up a page template that has all the paragraph styles in it and every time you start a new document based on that template, the styles will be there

[@artemhevorhian1785]

Give us an object style video! :D

[@DaveConrey]

Normally I would say sure, but alas, I have abandoned adobe for affinity, so I can’t oblige you on that.

[@artemhevorhian1785]

@@DaveConrey Well whatever you do, keep the same energy in place. Really like your videos!

[@CMRCustom]

I don't have any of the paragraph options you have.

[@DaveConrey]

Not sure how that’s possible. Are you using the most recent version of CC?

[@CMRCustom]

Dave Conrey never mind. I had to select the option in the window menu. Thanks for getting back to me. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to justify text in a numbered list so the wrap around text doesn’t flow all the way back to the left margin. Instead I want the text to continue under the start of the first sentence.

[@DaveConrey]

So that would be done with tab management and/or “first line” adjustment in the paragraph settings. Between the number/bullet and the first word, instead of a space, put a tab. Then select that whole bullet, hit command/CTRL+T to bring up tab management. On the ruler line shown, set your tab Mark with one of the left justified arrows. Then drag the indent marker out to that tab point, but move the top portion of indent marker (first line indent) Back to its original location. This should allow the bullet point to start at the normal position, and then the tabs starts where you marked it, and the second line should line it’s self up with the tab. I know that’s really difficult to picture, and if I still had in design, I would do a quick tutorial on that, but maybe if I create one in affinity publisher instead, that might help you. The only problem there is that I don’t know if those operations are the same in affinity publisher, but I will look into it.

[@CMRCustom]

Dave Conrey thanks for taking the time to explain all of that for me. It’s exactly what I needed. Now I’m curious about affinity...

[@Valleystick]

Lmao that introductory speech made me sub!! I can relate 😅

[@DaveConrey]

Nico D thanks Nico. I appreciate it.

Please tell me who is playing the beloved music in the end of the video?

[@DaveConrey]

C.B. Fiskekatten it’s been so long, I don’t recall. I got out from KZbin’s audio list.

[@kura83janko]

Hi anybody who read this - I have a problem with paragraphs: I want to start new paragraph (new line), where the last line of the previous paragraph ends. Greetings from Slovakia and thanks for tips...

[@DaveConrey]

If you mean start a new line inside a new text box, you may want to insert a Column Break.

[@kura83janko]

@@DaveConrey thank you very much. im going to try it...

[@amandakinda999]

Yes, Dave! You are awesome. I would love a tutorial on 'Object Styles.' Thanks!

Amanda Kinda Actually ended up making that video. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3TWcp6Bmr9qeJo

[@joselucnico]

Please, don’t use Comic Sans 🥺

[@DaveConrey]

don't plan on it

[@neilwilliams2883]

please please please just do what you said you would do on the video title - I clicked your video to learn how to 'master paragraph styles in Adobe inDesign CC 2019', not to see you spray paint or try to be a comedian - the first 4 minutes or so are almost completely useless. But the rest is great.

[@DaveConrey]

Sorry to have disappointed you, because god forbid someone actually be reasonably entertaining. I mean, I guess I could be like these foreign KZbinrs, getting direct to the point, speaking in a dull, monotone voice that's barely distinguishable, but that's not nearly as much fun. If you didn't get the value of the video, then I didn't make it for you.
