Couldn't find it!
So I produced it again. This is an improved version. It allows for you to do edits after the fact that shuffle paragraphs on to wrong pages. If that happens, rerun the script and it will fix all the LHs and RHs as needed -- note that it ignores all other paragraphs.
Also, I've not tested the error stuff. It's possible that the selection won't be visible on screen when the dialog appears -- that's something of a problem with this kind of error reporting.
Here's the script:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set myStory to parent of selection
set theLim to count of paragraphs of myStory
repeat with n from 1 to theLim
set theName to name of applied paragraph style of paragraph n of myStory
if theName is "RH" or theName is "LH" then
try
set thePage to (name of parent of parent text frame of paragraph n of myStory) as integer
if thePage mod 2 = 1 then
set applied paragraph style of paragraph n of myStory to paragraph style "RH" of document 1
else
set applied paragraph style of paragraph n of myStory to paragraph style "LH" of document 1
end if
on error
activate
select paragraph n of myStory
display dialog "Selected paragraph spans two pages"
return
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
