InDesign style questions and answers
Automatic byline styles:
If you follow this simple procedure, your bylines will always be styled correctly.
For a local byline:
Start with the Byline: Local 1 Name style, type in By NAME HERE, hit enter and the style will switch to the Byline: Local 2 E-mail style, type in the e-mail, hit enter again and the style will switch to Byline: Local 3 phone number, type in the phone number, hit enter again.
For a wire byline or any byline that only has 2 lines:
Start with Byline: Wire 1 Name, type in BY NAME HERE, hit enter and the style will switch to Byline: Wire 2 Attribution, type in the wire service, hit enter.
For an Associated Press or other one-line byline:
Use Byline: Wire 2 Attribution, which will style the type correctly.
If you have a byline that does not fit on one line, such as a dual byline, use a Shift-Enter to break the line. Using Enter alone will cause the next style in the sequence to activate, which you don't want.
