Readers Write

After publishing last week's article on creating a standard style list, I received such amazing feedback that I decided to dispense with a feature article this week and go straight to the Readers Write column. There's enough information here to keep you reading, thinking, and implementing for some time, and I owe my thanks in particular to Eric Fletcher, LeAnne Baird (with comments from Roger Shuttleworth), and Wordmeister Steve Hudson. Enjoy!

ADDITIONAL STYLES FOR A STANDARD LIST

Eric Fletcher (chesley@attcanada.ca) wrote:

Wow, your style list would be a great reference for parts of books, let alone for managing the format!

I have a couple that we use that you might also consider.

Photo box

Used to identify an image by its file name or reference number. I usually have this set up in red text with a red box around it because if you zoom out (Ctrl-Scrollwheel), they are very visible even when the rest of the copy turns to black lines. When we are trying to "populate" a book with images, it can be a handy way to see if there are any gaping holes. If we are doing the layout with the images in Word, this is handy because I can put in the file name, then convert it to the includepicture field after we've dealt with the text of the file. If we are providing the images, we can provide information that helps in the layout (file name on CD, pixel dimensions & colour depth; identity and format of original art...)

Editorial note

Used for a note to the editor (or reviewer) about something we came across during the layout or editing. We have it set the copy in a light green filled box in Arial Narrow type so it is very visible on screen and quite visible if printed. It is also easy to spot in a very reduced view (as above) but I also have an associated button that finds the next "Editorial note" style to be able to quickly review them. The editorial note has been much more useful to us than Word's comments or review functions as many of our documents get sent out as paper copies. As well, many are being reviewed by people whose first language is not English (or French) so we often find ourselves having to be "diplomatic" in querying the intended meaning. (Some of the content is very technical so we cannot presume to be subject matter experts even if we see something that is clearly not correct--I'm sure you've had this experience now and then . . . ) This style enables us to copy a sentence and rework it as a "suggestion." If they agree, they don't have to write it themselves--and we don't have to try to decipher their writing!

MANAGING STYLES WITH WORD 2002'S "STYLES AND FORMATTING" TASK PANE

Eric also wrote:

I discovered a feature of Word 2002 that I'd hitherto overlooked--and it was so useful I thought I should share it with you.

With Word's task pane set to "Styles and formatting" and the bottom pull-down set to "Formatting in use", you are presented with what at first appears to be an often long and useless list of all of the variations of different formatting within the document. But when you select one of the items in this list (labelled "Pick formatting to apply"), instead of clicking on the format summary to apply it, right-click it and examine the pull-down menu that appears. From it, you can choose Modify and some other options, but the top line both shows how many instances of the selected format occur in the document AND gives you the opportunity to select all of them at once. Once selected of course, you can apply a style or do some other action on the whole set.

As an example, when I noticed that the panel listed both "Heading 3" and "Heading 3 + underline", choosing to select all 11 instances of the latter let me change all eleven of the instances of underlining contained within the Heading 3 style to no underline and italic instead--in one single action.

Of course, I could have done the same thing with find and replace but this is much faster and lets me see formatting issues that I might otherwise have overlooked. For example, I frequently end up selectively tweaking character spacing (condensing the font) or slightly reducing inter-paragraph spacing in several places throughout a document to manually adjust to fit text for a final print layout. Getting rid of such things for subsequent use of the content is complicated because they are not evident. This task pane feature makes it simple: all of the variations are listed and I can do all of it from the panel without potentially losing other formatting I do want to retain. (As would be the case with superscripts and the like if they were within a selection and I just used Ctrl-Space to reset the font for example.) My panel showed all such variations as "Condensed by 0.1 pt" as well as "Condensed by 0.25 pt" and "Block indent + Before: 5 pt" so it was easy to reset them to the normal conditions. As you do so, the list gets shorter until (ideally) you are left with only the standard style list with allowable variants like italics within them.

In addition to Formatting in use, the other options at the bottom of the task pane in this view let you see Available styles (just the styles), Available formatting (the styles plus variants), All styles (your own plus default ones), and Custom (lets you select what to display). All-in-all, a very powerful tool for anyone who is serious about managing style usage in a Word document.

PARAGRAPH NAMING SCHEMES

LeAnne Baird wrote:

The paragraph naming scheme below is a pain to implement because legacy documents may need to have their styles replaced, but we bit the bullet and did it in one team I was on just because it is SUCH an elegant solution--so elegant that I've used it at every new company since we did the first one, and so have many of the other team members in *their* subsequent assignments.

🙂 Note: I've never used a complete template that didn't have more than 100 and less than 120 styles. Seems always to come out about the same regardless of the subject matter or document type!

1. Rename each paragraph (and character) style with a two-letter prefix followed by a space. Begin master and reference page styles with z or x +[letter or number] to send them to the bottom of the list.

2. Tag paragraphs from the keyboard by pressing F9, entering the prefix, and pressing Enter (or you may need to press one or two down arrows, see below). The desired style is applied.

This strategy makes the shortcuts easy to memorize through frequent use because we try hard to be logical, with the exception of "aa body," so named because it can always float to the top of the list. If you're forced to scroll for something, at least you can get close with F9+one key.

aa body

b1 bullet 1st level

b2 bullet 2nd level

bp bullet para

bp bullet para 2 (F9+bp+Down Arrow)

h1 heading 1

h2 heading 2

tb table body

th table heading

t1 table bullet 1

tp table bullet 1 para

s1 step 1

s2 subsequent steps

zc Chapter name

zn Chapter number

I am about finished with a MS Word template with customized style and table-insert toolbars so that our non-writer internal customers can easily use the same styles to produce consistently styled documents. These documents then (ZIP!) import right into Frame and lay themselves out with only minor nudges for print and PDF, and (ZIP!) right out through WWP to reformat as online Help systems.

By the way, for organizations looking toward the XML future, these are the considerations in style naming according to the quick-and-dirty search I did. Some of the major databases (SQL, Oracle, Sybase) do not support underscores in XML tag names, and for SQL processing XML tag names must start with two alpha characters. Of course, use no special characters, and this includes hyphens. Mixed case would seem to be OK, but the suggestion is that all the style names be mixed case if some are. (I can't imagine why this would make a difference, but who knows what lurks inside those db engines.) Also, in the XML naming specs, titles should not be longer than 30 characters for Sybase and Oracle, 18 for Informix.

In corresponding with LeAnne about this, Roger Shuttleworth noted:

Some folks suggest that you should keep paragraph (and character) format names to one word. One reason for this is that XML tags cannot contain spaces, and you may want to (ZIP!) them across to XML in some way in the future, perhaps as attributes. So I use an underscore rather than a space, and run the words together, such as RI_ReferenceInfo.
