I'm having trouble adapting Jay's paren scripts to what I need. I need to make them so they only apply the character style in paragraphs of a certain paragraph style, and I need it to act on all stories. Let me tell you more about the book. It's a cookbook, and each recipe is in a separate story. The way it's designed, the ingredient listings are in Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold. If an ingredient listing has a parenthetical statement in it, the parenthetical needs to be in Adobe Garamond Pro Regular. If I try to do this formatting manually, I seem to find missed phrases on every edit. So, scripting is a way of ensuring accuracy and consistency more than to save work. It is in no way necessary to write me a whole script (nor is that even desired--I like playing around with them myself, of course), but if you could just suggest how I'd go about this, I'd be truly grateful.
