Some usage notes:

1. If there's more than one em-dash in a paragraph, the script will bold up to the last em-dash, which is probably not what you want.

If you need to deal with this, set up a variable call oldStart and add immediately before the repeat with myEm statement:

set oldStart to 0

and then add replace the set applied character style statement with:

if myStart is not equal to oldStart then
 set oldStart to myStart
 set applied character style of characters myStart through myEnd of myStory to character style "Bold" of document 1
end if

With that change, the script will operate only up to the first em-dash in any paragraph.

2. If you have a paragraph in one of the identified styles that starts with an em-dash, then the return at the end of the previous paragraph is what actually would be boldened.

3. If the first paragraph in a story is in one of the identified styles AND it starts with an em-dash, you'll get an error.

4. If any of the listed paragraph style names doesn't exist (be careful about case; paragraph style names are case sensitive), you'll get an error.

5. If a paragraph exists in one of the styles but doesn't have an em-dash, the paragraph will be ignored, no bolding will be applied to it.
