For years I've been hoping for an option to right click a a specific style to FIND THIS STYLE in the document. Because we all name them differently, I sometimes need to find a Style in the document, rather than click all over the place to hunt it down.

I'm currently working with a manual that I did not create. There are 30 or 40 styles I have to clean up. I love the Select All Unused option, but now I have styles that I know I'm not using and they're still showing as existing somewhere in the document.

Please consider adding a "FIND THIS STYLE" option.

Thanks for your consideration.

99.9% of the time I want bullets to match the text color. When changing the character color via the Paragraph Styles palette or when selecting the text and changing the color via the color palette, the bullets do just that. But when I select text and change the color via a character style, the bullets don't follow suit.

To give you an example of why this would be useful to me, one thing I often end up doing is creating two versions of something: one on a dark background, one on a light background. The only thing different between the two is the text color, so instead of creating an entirely new paragraph style for "dark" or "light," I just apply a character style to the text frames that changes the color in all of them.

And this works perfectly well when it comes to bullets. If my text contains a bullet list, I have to duplicate the bullet style, apply the desired character style to the bullets in the Bullets and Numbering panel, then apply the style to the text. Which is an annoying extra step for something that's an otherwise simple change.

It would be nice if character styles applied to an entire bullet paragraph automatically applied to the bullets as well, so I could avoid the process described. If I want the bullets to be a different color than the text, THEN I'll use the character style settings in the Bullets and Numbering panel.

I have set up some paragraph styles in my InDesign document that have space-before and space-after set on them. Some of the styles are for headers. When the headers precede a regular paragraph, I want the space to be there, but when they precede another header, I want there to be less space. In web development, I can write rules in CSS that say things like this:

p { margin-top:10px; }
h2 + p { margin-top:5px }

I am able to make the margin-top narrower on a <p> tag that is immediately preceded by an <h2> tag, but otherwise, it's wider.

I’m looking for a mechanism to do something similar in InDesign so that if my heading level 2 paragraph style is before another heading paragraph style, it has less space-after than when it is before a regular paragraph. It would be really great if Adobe could add a feature that allows you to define a paragraph style spacing based on which style comes before or after it.

Style Override Highlighter's appearance (blue background) conflicts with the still existing feature of highlighting styles with different colors, in order to visually identify what parts of the text use what style, accessible via scripts such as Stylighter (http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2013/11/stylighter-1-4-for-indesign-cs4-cs5-cs6-cc).

Being able to set it back to red stroke over text instead of a background color, as it was before the Style Override Highlighter button was officially added, would allow to see at the same time the style being used (by the color of the background) and whether it had overrides (by the presence of a red stroke). That was possible before Style Override Highlighter, but not anymore.

If a paragraph has some override(s) in it that do not affect the entire paragraph, you'll see the little paragraph symbol at the bottom of the panel light up. This tells you there's an override. No + sign will appear next to the paragraph style name, though, unless the cursor happens to be in text that has the override. For example, if one word is in italics but your cursor is elsewhere in the paragraph, you don't have any way to know what the override is. If you select the entire paragraph, the + appears, but when you hover over the style name the little message that pops up ALWAYS says "mixed overrides," even if there is only one override. Only if the override applies to the whole paragraph will the message be informative.
I know I can turn on the blue override highlighting, but that's not always what I want to do as it's distracting and ugly, and sometimes I have lots of intentional, temporary overrides that would also be lit up.
