I am trying to get some statistics from a document. I thought I could use the find command to count paragraph/character styles usage. The problem is I get "1" as the result both when the style isn't used and when it is used just once in the document. That means I can't distungish between the two.

To see what I mean try this with an empty document that has a paragraph style defined but not used, then apply the style to one paragraph and run the script again. As you will notice you get the same result.



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set myDoc to active document 
	set myParaStyles to paragraph styles of myDoc 
	set myParaUse to 0 
	set myParaUsage to "PARAGRAPH STYLE USAGE" & return 
	set find preferences to nothing 
	repeat with i from 2 to count of myParaStyles 
		set properties of find preferences to {applied paragraph style:item i of myParaStyles} 
		set myCount to count of (search myDoc for "") 
		set myParaUse to myParaUse + myCount 
		set myParaUsage to myParaUsage & (name of item i of myParaStyles) & tab & myCount & return 
	end repeat 
end tell
