Replace styles script needed

Does anyone know of a script that will allow me to replace one paragraph style with another. I would like a something that would list all the paragraph styles in one list box and have another list box for "replace with..."
Paragraph Styles
Change to Style
BODY 10/12
BODY 12/15
BODY 12/15
MY STYLE 10/12 ITALIC W/GREP
MY STYLE 10/12 BOLD W/GREP
MY STYLE 10/12 BOLD W/GREP
Something like this
Thanks in advance
RPP

This is very basic — it doesn't check if any document is open, or the styles exist, etc.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "BODY 10/12";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "BODY 12/15";
myDoc.changeText();
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "MY STYLE 10/12 ITALIC W/GREP";
app.changeTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "MY STYLE 10/12 BOLD W/GREP";
myDoc.changeText();
// and so on, or if you have a lot of styles to change, create 2 arrays:
// with find-change names and loop thru them in a for loop
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
Hope it helps.

  • CSS Questions :: Renaming Class Styles & Replacing Styles Globally

    1) Renaming Class Styles
    I have a large website that I redesigned over a year ago and now manage. I've been doing some housekeeping and attempting to rename some of the class styles I've applied to different parts of each page.
    Problem: When I change the name of a class style, the style no longer is applied to the text. I've tried this in both GoLive CS2 (8.01) and Dreamweaver CS3. It's the same with both. They both allow you to change the name, but then the text loses the connection to the class style.
    How can I rename the property (or style rule) without losing the connection to the text it is applied to? To go through and have to reassign the newly named styles to each section of each page would be an enormous undertaking.
    2) Replacing Styles Globally
    Is there an easy way to delete a style and chose a new one to take it's place globally?
    Thank you for any help you can offer!
    Linda

    Hi Nate,
    Thanks for the suggestions!
    > In CS2, The CSS tab on the left side of the site window is handy for that. For instance, if you want to change very instance of a class to a different name, find it in the classes list and rename from there, which should update any pages using the class, and update its name in any external CSS files. Really useful for global changes, but definitely one of those things worth making a back-up of the whole site first.
    For some reason when I do this it breaks the formatting style.
    > If you want to change any references to one class to references to another, go to the same place and just change the class name to the other class name (so, you'd temporarily have 2 items in the list with the same name). Then, if you refresh view, you'll see they've really been consolidated into references to the same class. If that makes sense.
    This does make sense.
    I'm still experimenting. I may need to resume this in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

  • Simple script needed

    I work with InDesign doing text layout. I have used scripts, but have never had the time to learn JavaScript. I need what I assume is a fairly simple script. The script needs to do the following:
    1. Open a document.
    2. Ignore the missing font dialog box.
    3. Load all text style from another file, with the styles from that file overwriting the styles in the current document.
    4. Save the open document with the same name.
    The script needs to be able to batch process all of the document in a folder.
    If this is simple enough to do with several lines of code, I would appreciate it if someone could help me out. If it is more complex than that, I can possibly pay.

    Hi kwilson68, could you contact me by email? I might be able to help you out.

  • Calendar script needed

    I need a recommendation for a PHP calendar script. It should

  • Indesign CS5.5 Relink Script needs help

    Hi, I'm trying to relink images in an InDesign CS5.5 file to a different server using a script. This is what I have so far, but when I run the script I get errors and can't relink because "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application". Does anyone know how to make this script work? I'm fairly new to scripting.
    Here is the script I have:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              tell document 1
                        set linkList to links
                        set errInfo to "" -- We'll display error if we can't relink an item
                        repeat with x in linkList
                                  if (x's status) is not normal then -- I usually check for any link that has an error
      -- This should only return an AppleScript path with ":" separators
                                            set linkPath to (x's file path) as string
                                            if "Volumes/Calendars_2013 FPO" is in linkPath then
                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Volumes/Calendars_2013 FPO"

                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Volumes/Calendars_2013"
                                                      set linkPath to (linkPath as string) -- Concatenate with new path
                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "" -- Reset TIDs
                                                      try
      -- Need to make our string (path) into an alias path
      relink x to alias linkPath
                                                                try
      update x -- This can be helpful
                                                                end try

                                            end if
                                  end if
                        end repeat
      -- If an error occurs while trying to relink, we'll display it
                        if (count errInfo) > 0 then display dialog ("Can't relink:" & errInfo)
              end tell
    end tell
    --Hector

    I just tried adding collens to the end of the folder path. For some reason the script skipped the relink line. Below is the code with your update. I'm thinking its not finding the images because the script needs to make a list of all the images and choose the one that matches the missing image.
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              tell document 1
                        set linkList to links
                        set errInfo to "" -- We'll display error if we can't relink an item
                        repeat with x in linkList
                                  if (x's status) is not normal then -- I usually check for any link that has an error
      -- This should only return an AppleScript path with ":" separators
                                            set linkPath to (x's file path) as string
                                            if "Calendars_2013 FPO:" is in linkPath then
                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Calendars_2013 FPO:"
                                                      set linkPath to (linkPath's text items) -- Create a list of text items
                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Calendars_2013:"
                                                      set linkPath to (linkPath as string) -- Concatenate with new path
                                                      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "" -- Reset TIDs
                                                      try
      -- Need to make our string (path) into an alias path
      relink x to alias linkPath
                                                                try
      update x -- This can be helpful
                                                                end try
                                                      on error err
      -- We'll store link name if error occurs
                                                                set errInfo to (errInfo & return & x's name)

  • Script needed to generate a list of paragraph and character styles from the Book Level

    Hello,
    I am using FrameMaker 11 in the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and I need to find a script that will generate a list
    of paragraph and character styles from the book level.
    I am working with unstructured FrameMaker books, but will soon be looking at getting a conversion table developed
    that will allow me to migrate all my data over to Dita (1.1 for now).
    Any thoughts, ideas on this is very much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    I think the problem you are having with getting a response is that you are asking someone to write a script for you. Normally, you would have to pay someone for this, as it is something that folks do for a living.
    Nonetheless, I had a few minutes to spare, so I worked up the following script that I believe does the job. It is very slow, clunky, and totally non-elegant, but I think it works. It leverages the book error log mechanism which is built in and accessible by scripts, but is spendidly unattractive. I hope this gives you a starting point. It could be made much more beautiful, of course, but such would take lots more time.

  • Do there is any way to redefine styles by find and replace or script

    I have a some styles and i want  to change same things in all styles like language, align and numbers digit and etc....,
    So I ask if  there is an easy way  to do that except modify each style manual, like script?, I use inDesgin CS3, and CS4
    Like in Find Font there is option to redefine styles but that for fonts only, So there is way to do that by find and replace ?
    Thanks

    I'm not a "scripter" and I don't have a huge knowledge of what scripts are available, unlike some on here, but this is how I'd do it if I couldn't find what I wanted by googling.

  • Efficient Replace Style needed

    Last April I asked if anyone knew how simply to replace a graphic style in AI. Up to now I have no real answer except that which Scott Falkner kindly suggested (below). I take it that there is not easy way to do this, perhaps for technical reasons but maybe because it's an oversight. Thanks for trying to provide a simple way to do this rather than making the user use a round about way.
    Scott Falkner - 12:23pm Apr 12, 08 PST (#4 of 4)
    Unlock and show all layers and objects. Create a new global colour swatch, then redefine the style to use that swatch as a fill or stoke. Select an instance of the stye then use Select > Same > Fill Color or > Stroke Color to select all uses of that colour. You should now have all instances of the style selected. Apply the style you want. Sun the action Delete unused palette items and the now unused style should go away.
    Untested.

    This may be posted in the wrong thread by perhaps this answer will help, yanwell. It appears you are editing the bounding box and not the object within it. Here is what I suggest.
    Illustrator has a marvelous Layer/Object window. It's simply called 'Layer,' but as someone kindly pointed out to me some time ago, 'objects' are stored either under a Layer or Sublayer. This is crucial for understanding Illustrator since this allows you to easily choose a layer or an object in order to edit it or even apply a style. Styles can become very confusing here so watch out. This is covered elsewhere on the forum.
    I believe you should bring up your Layer window and find the layer on which the object you want to edit is (you can open all main layers by Option and clicking a closed layer to open all layers). *However* this will not open layers and objects under this main layer. You must expand the main layer and sublayers to get to the objects. Once there then use the little 'selection circle' on the right (the 'target' circle is the correct name I believe). If grouped then you have to open that group manually (all of this 'opening' is very tedious sometimes; I wish Adobe would make this easier). You will note that there the object and its bounding box are under this group. If you choose the object (rather than the bounding box) you should be able to proceed with your editing. Remember, once you get used to using the 'target' option in the Layer window you will greatly improve your efficiency in editing complex docs.
    What I don't understand is why Adobe doesn't make all of this clear somewhere (like in Help) but leaves it up to us poor users to figure it out. It caused me great frustration when I moved from Freehand to Illustrator. It may be buried in some tutorial.

  • Cell style script not working in CS6

I was able to figure out how to style various rows but want to apply to a specific cell. Thanks in advance.
