List all text styles on pasteboard

Having a list of all the styles available in the document in their respective formats can be helpful for checking all the requisite styles are present and have been applied correctly.

This can also be a useful step in starting a Word template for a workflow mapping Word text to InDesign styles on import.

With the InDesign document open choose GreenLight Tools menu > Fresh Page tools panel

1. Click List all text styles on pasteboard
2. On first use, you may be required click OK to give permission for Circular Software tools to link to your macOS and apps
3. A dialog appears confirming the number of Paragraph and Character Styles present added to the pasteboard. Click OK
4. A new text frame is created to the left of the document’s first spread:

• Paragraph Styles are followed by Character Styles in the same named sequence as they appear in their respective panels
• To ensure the style names fit within the allocated text frame the text is scaled to fit, although all other formats such as font, type style and colour are applied
• If you wish remove the scaling you can highlight the text and choose InDesign Window menu > Styles > Paragraph Styles > Paragraph Styles panel menu > Clear Overrides

Note: If using this tool independently of the Fresh Page System the styles must be placed into Style Group folders
