I must be doing something different here; this script doesn't work for me.
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
�set find preferences to nothing
�set change preferences to nothing
�tell document 1
��set theStyle to character style "Time"
��search document 1 with find attributes {find text:"^9"} with change
attributes {applied character style:theStyle}
�end tell
end tell
What I want to do is move all parenthesis marks up one point so they take a more aesthetic postion in relation to the surrounding text. I created a Character Style "Parenthesis UP" and replaced "Time" above and the "^9" with ")" to get started. Right off, the ":" in {applied character style:theStyle} was listed as an error in AppleScript. I changed it to a comma and it passed Check Syntax.
Then I go to InDesign, run the script and I get "InDesign 2.0.1 got an error: Can't get document 1. error -1728
What am I missing?
