Christopher--

The main thought, I guess, would be to create a script that:

1. Iterates through the InDesign stories by text style range, and

2. Replaces text by text style range.

An InDesign text style range is any continuous run of a particular set of formatting attributes. If you get the text contents of one style range, spell check it in some external program, and then replace the text contents of that text style range, you'll avoid blowing away your formatting.

It's worth a try. But...it'll probably be slow.

Thanks,

Ole
