Dave,

Good question and I'll admit, I'm in a bit over my head. I'm a Web Developer with JavaScript experience but no InDesign experience. A friend of mine uses QuarkXpress to create publications each month and routinely does the same steps. I told him that I'd look into automating everything for him with InDesign (I read that it's better than QuarkXpress, esp for scripting purposes). My script is about 90% finished, but I'm stuck on this and one other thing.

I was hoping that there'd be an easy, one-step/line solution to formatting text but I guess there isn't. I just bought an InDesign book so I'll read the ParagraphStyle chapter in that and in the Scripting Reference.
