I've imported a Word file. As usual, the result is a mess that I need to clean up.

One of Word's new tricks is to add " char" to the end of a style name. I've seen it add as many as five instances to a single style name.

I even have a situation where my client intended to use a paragraph style for some text, but has in fact used a character style.

So, what I tried to do was this:

set find preferences to nothing
set change preferences to nothing
set applied character style of find preferences to character style theCS of document 1
set applied paragraph style of change preferences to paragraph style theNewPS of document 1
search my Story for ""

And this did nothing. And yet, if I stop the script at this point and open up the F&R dialog, my settings are there and if I click Change All, exactly what I was hoping for in the script happens.

This suggests that I'm not making an error in my script, but it's not workiing.
