Hi,

I want to check Table cell style was created in indesign? If not created I have to create the cell style name with dummy propeties as like 'TBL_COLH' 'TBL_BODY' (This is cell style name).

1. If the 'TBL_COLH' & 'TBL_BODY' this cell style appeared in Indesign, give me alert 'The cell style already presented in Indesign.

2. If the 'TBL_COLH' & 'TBL_BODY' this cell style not appeared in Indesign, I have to create cell style with dummy properites.

Is this possible by script?

Hi Hasvi,

Yes, possible. Here it is.

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var array = ["TBL_COLH", "TBL_BODY"];

for(var i=0;i<array.length;i++)

{

    try{

        doc.cellStyles.add({name:array});

        }

    catch(e)

    {

                alert("'" + array + "'" + "already exists in the document.")

        }

    }

Regards,

Chinna
