Hi,

I have a problem with one of our scripts. It creates a text frame, adds some text contents, sets a paragraph style, and more.

The problem I've found is this: When the frame is created, it picks up a default paragraph and character style. (Whatever was selected in the pallete while no text frame was selected becomes a default for all new text frames).

I need to either reset this "default" before the frame gets created (in my script), or I need to do the script equivalent of holding "alt" while clicking the style to remove the defaults as the style gets applied.

Are either of these two approaches possible? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Ben
