No luck I'm afraid Ole.
I got an error message that is now different from my other attempts. I'll try to type the error message as accurately as I can below for you.. (it's a pity ID doesn't let me 'copy' the error message)
JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 25
Error String: Expected: :
Line: 1
Source: app.findTextPreferences.properties =
{findWhat:"section_style"};app.changeTextPreferences
.properties =
{appliedParagraphStyles.item
("Section")};app.findChangeTextOptions.properties =
{include footnotes:true, include master pages:true,
include hidden layers:true, whole word:false};
Offending Text: footnotes
Ole, the full line I used that got the error above was:
text {findWhat:"section_style"} {appliedParagraphStyle:app.documents.item(0).paragraphStyles.item("Section")} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find text section_style and apply my parastyle Section.
The Offending Text message is now different from what I have been getting previously... I have been getting 'Offending Text: paragraph' when using the following code:
text {findWhat:"section_style"} {applied paragraph style:paragraph style "price" of document 1} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find text section_style and apply my parastyle Section.
Thanks for your response Ole. As you guessed, I'm a bit of a noob, but I love the challenge - it's just a pity that this one has me bamboozled completely.
Graeme
