Glad the script works for you.

The key to doing what you want will be differentiating the ones you want to change from the ones you don't want changing. If you wanted to change all of them it would be easy, just add:

set applied paragraph style of character myParaIndex of myStory to paragraph style "Fred" of document 1

inside the loop.

But, you probably need to test something first, like: is the previous paragraph styled in a certain way?

To do that, you could say:

try
 If name of applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 of character (myParaIndex -1) is "Whatever" then
 set applied paragraph style of character myParaIndex of myStory to paragraph style "Fred" of document 1
end if
end try

The reason for the try is that perhaps myParaIndex has the value 1 in which case the test will cause an error, so we just ignore that case.
