hi, raw newbie on applescript but I'm trying to set an applescript that will search for various text attributes and apply various existing character styles in Indesign CS3
So far so good except the text override(s) remain in place, if I apply the same character style in Indesign the overrides are cleared
Is there some sort of option etc that I can add to my script that will clear any overides as the character style is applied?
script code below, thank-you
.....
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
tell parent story of item 1 of selection
--find/change text preferences
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
--Search for the string "Text"
set properties of find text preferences to {font style:"Italic"}
set properties of change text preferences to {applied character style:"Italic CH"}
--FIND/CHANGE OPTIONS
set case sensitive of find change text options to false
set include footnotes of find change text options to true
set include hidden layers of find change text options to false
set include locked layers for find of find change text options to false
set include locked stories for find of find change text options to false
set whole word of find change text options to false
set properties of find text preferences to {font style:nothing}
set properties of change text preferences to {font style:nothing}
--DO IT
try
tell parent story of item 1 of selection to change text
end try
end tell
end tell
end tell
