Hi, I want to use this script or something similar:

This is to change one set of styles to another from an imported word
doc in indesign, I have done this which works, but if a style is not
there it errors,
also I am not sure if this its a bad way of doing it? as in using
loads of memory?

Again Any help would be great as I am so new to this its crazy!
