Change language script does not work with styles groups

I receive CS5.5 documents in which paragraph styles are in groups. When I run this script http://forums.adobe.com/message/1913197 , it works only on the paragraph styles that are not in styles groups. Can someone help me?

Correct answer Laubender

That's because there is a difference in scope between "paragraphStyles" and "allParagraphStyles" (lists all paragraph styles (regardless of their group)).

So changing:

myStyles=myDoc.paragraphStyles;

to:

myStyles=myDoc.allParagraphStyles;

should do the trick (not tested with the  script in the linked thread).

Same goes for the character styles section:

//myStyles=myDoc.characterStyles;
myStyles=myDoc.allCharacterStyles;
