Hi Ariel,
Try something like this:
Rem BoxParagraphs.vbs
Rem An InDesign CS4 VBScript
Rem
Rem Converts all paragraphs of a given paragraph style
Rem to single-cell tables.
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Item(1)
Set myStyle = myDocument.ParagraphStyles.Item("HRBox")
myInDesign.FindTextPreferences = idNothingEnum.idNothing
myInDesign.ChangeTextPreferences = idNothingEnum.idNothing
myInDesign.FindTextPreferences.AppliedParagraphStyle = myStyle
Set myFoundItems = myDocument.FindText()
myInDesign.FindTextPreferences = idNothingEnum.idNothing
If myFoundItems.Count <> 0 Then
For myCounter = myFoundItems.Count To 1 Step -1
Set myFoundItem = myFoundItems.Item(myCounter)
Set myStartCharacter = myFoundItem.Characters.Item(1)
Rem Special case for the last paragraph in a story.
Set myEndCharacter = myFoundItem.Characters.Item(-1)
If myEndCharacter.Contents = vbCr Then
Set myEndCharacter = myFoundItem.Characters.Item(-2)
End If
Rem Get the text of the paragraph, excluding the return character.
Set myText = myFoundItem.Texts.ItemByRange(myStartCharacter, myEndCharacter)
Rem Convert the paragraph to a table.
Set myTable = myText.Item(1).ConvertToTable
Rem Adjust table properties here, if necessary.
Next
End If
Thanks,
Ole
