Hi Thiyagu,

You're not telling InDesign CS3 to do anything here:



app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^>";  
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle;  
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^m";  
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle;

You've set the find and change text preferences, but you haven't issued a command to change the text. What you need looks something more like this:



app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^>";  
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle; 
//Add a line to perform the change: 
app.documents.item(0).changeText(); 
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^m";  
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myNewCharStyle;  
//Add a line to perform the change: 
app.documents.item(0).changeText();

It's also not clear to me that this will work:



if (myDoc.characterStyles.item ('x') == null)

I think that this will always be true, even if the style does not exist.

Thanks,

Ole
