Hi Robin--

Why not use a JavaScript snippet in your VBScript? Something like this:



Rem Assumes that the active document contains at least one story, 
Rem that that story includes a table with more than three rows, 
Rem and that the document contains a paragraph style named 
Rem "myParagraphStyle". 
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS2") 
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Item(1) 
Set myStory = myDocument.Stories.Item(1) 
Set myTable = myStory.Tables.Item(1) 
myStyleName = "myParagraphStyle" 
myRowIndex = 2 
Rem Create JavaScript string; 
myJavaScript = "var myStory = app.documents.item(0).stories.itemByID(" & myStory.Id & ");" & vbCr 
myJavaScript = myJavaScript & "var myTable = myStory.tables.itemByID(" & myTable.Id & ");" & vbCr 
myJavaScript = myJavaScript & "var myRow = myTable.rows.item(" & myRowIndex & ");" & vbCr 
myJavaScript = myJavaScript & "var myStyle = app.documents.item(0).paragraphStyles.item(""" & myStyleName & """);" & vbCr 
myJavaScript = myJavaScript & "myRow.cells.everyItem().texts.item(0).applyStyle(myStyle, true);" & vbCr 
myInDesign.DoScript myJavaScript, idScriptLanguage.idJavascript 


You could, of course, use myInDesign.ScriptArgs to pass values to a JavaScript, but if you're writing the JavaScript inline in your VBScript, there's no need.

Thanks,

Ole
