Hi ID-Scripter,

I try at the moment to tell(set applied character style) a special part from the cell-text, but I don't find any way. I think it is easy for you, but not for me at the moment.

enclosed pls find a shorted script, that shows the problem. You need a active document with one textframe which includes a table. This script is not the original -the original is more than 3 times bigger- it is only to show the problem.

global myDocument, thecellcount

--Handler
on setTheStyle()
	tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
		set myTable to table 1 of text frame 1 of page 1 of myDocument
		set ln to 1
		tell myTable
			set properties of line ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"1"}
			set ln to ln + 1
			set properties of line ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"2"}
			set ln to ln + 1
			set properties of line ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"2"}
			set ln to ln + 1
			set properties of line ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"2"}
			set ln to ln + 1
			set properties of line ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"2"}
			set ln to ln + 1

			(* This is the problem! How is it possible to tell the "goods:" textblock ? -
			this textblock is not fixed in the size/lenght*)
			set properties of story ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"3"}
			-- I tried story ln
			-- I tried text column with number
			-- I tried a reference of story
			-- but I never got only the textpart with the "goods:"
			set ln to ln + 1
			(* the same problem with the "person:" and "represented by:" textblock
			set properties of story ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"4"}
			set ln to ln + 1
			set properties of story ln of cell thecellcount to {applied character style:"5"}
			set ln to ln + 1*)
		end tell
	end tell
end setTheStyle

--Script
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDocument to active document
	set myTable to table 1 of text frame 1 of page 1 of myDocument
	tell myTable
		set properties to {row count:6, column count:3}
		set properties of column 1 to {width:100}
		set properties of column 2 to {width:30}
		set properties of column 3 to {width:25, vertical justification:top, bottom inset:0, left inset:0, right inset:0, top inset:0}
		set thecellcount to 1
		set contents of cell thecellcount to "A-MAZING SHOP

		set contents of cell (thecellcount + 1) to "1818"
	end tell
	setTheStyle() of me
end tell

How is it possible to get a reference for this special textpart?

Many thanks
