I need to ensure that all text in my document has a character style applies, so I would like to replace the InDesigns chaaracter style "[None]" with one of my own making, "NoStyle". Here is the script:

	set myCharacterStyle to character style "NoStyle"
	set find preferences to nothing
	set change preferences to nothing
	set mySelection to document
	search with find attributes {applied character style:noCharacterStyle} �
		with change attributes {applied character style:myCharacterStyle}

The problem I am having is that InDesign gives me the following error on the search line (copied form Event Log):

search current application with find attributes {applied character style:"[None]"} with change attributes {applied character style:character style id 260} "Adobe InDesign CS2 got an error: Invalid parameter."

What doe invalid parameter mean here? I have seen many other recommending this logic and not once have I seen someone say they got an error for it.

Any help is appreciated.
