Hi folks,

I've been handing out the following script in the Windows InDesign forum. It removes paragraph style overrides throughout the active document in all text and tables. I've had some requests for a Macintosh version of the script but I don't know AppleScript. Would someone be willing to convert this to Applescript and post is back to this forum? I'm a rather newbie programmer so you're welcome to modify the script to make it more efficient etc.

Thanks,
Phil Redman

Dim myInDesign As InDesign.Application
Dim myDocument As InDesign.Document

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
Set myStories = myDocument.Stories
Rem Remove paragraph style overrides in text
For Each Story In myStories
Set myParagraphs = Story.Paragraphs
For Each Paragraph In myParagraphs
Rem Reset the paragraph style to its current assigned value; clearing all style overrides
Paragraph.ParagraphStyle = Paragraph.ParagraphStyle
Next Paragraph
Next Story
End If

Rem Remove paragraph style overrides in tables
For Each Story In myStories
Set myTables = Story.Tables
For Each Table In myTables
Set myCells = Table.Cells
For Each Cell In myCells
Set myParagraphs = Cell.Paragraphs
For Each Paragraph In myParagraphs
Rem Reset the paragraph style to its current assigned value; clearing all style overrides
Paragraph.ParagraphStyle = Paragraph.ParagraphStyle
Next Paragraph
Next Cell
Next Table
Next Story
End If
