Laurent--

Actually, all you have to do is test to see if the value is a Long (using TypeName). If it is, it's idNothing--it can't be anything else in this case.

Further, if the value *is* idNothing, you don't need to do anything--a newly created character style has *all* values set to idNothing. This is true for any property--if the type of the property in the source style is a long, you need do nothing with the corresponding value in the new style (as it will already be idNothing).

The way that InDesign's character styles work is different (and in my opinion, better) than the way they work in other programs. It just takes a little getting used to.

Thanks,

Ole
