Fernando --

I tried answering a couple of time yesterday, but I always got interrupted before I could make the answer make any sense.

Here are some lines of script that might help:



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
    set myTab to tab 
    tell active document 
        set myAddrStyle to character style "Address no." 
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories) 
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j) 
                try 
                    set applied character style of text from (character 1 whose contents = myTab) to character -1 of paragraph i of story j to myAddrStyle 
                end try 
            end repeat 
        end repeat 
    end tell 
end tell



this changes all the text after a tab on all paras to "Address no." The "try" and "end try" lines allow the script to deal with lines that don't have a tab.

I don't know why I have to "set myTab to tab", but it doesn't seem to work otherwise.

Hope this helps.
