Hi Guys,

This script used to work and now it says this line is undefined...

if ( (paras

.appliedParagraphStyle).name.toLowerCase() == "heading 1" ).

this is the part of the script that's failing, what is going wrong?

var newDoc = app.activeDocument,

frame = newDoc.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
      

      
       for ( var c = 0; c < frame.length; c++ ) {
      
       var paras = frame.paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
        
       for ( p = paras.length; p >= 0;  p-- ) {
          
          if ( (paras

.appliedParagraphStyle).name.toLowerCase() == "heading 1" ) {
              
               paras

.convertBulletsAndNumberingToText(); // convert the heading 1 paragraph style numbers to text
              
              
               }

try this

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;   
var paras = myDoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();   
for (var i = 0; i < paras.length; i++) {   
    myParaSel = paras;   
        if (myParaSel.appliedParagraphStyle.name.toLowerCase() == "heading 1" ) {  
        myParaSel.convertBulletsAndNumberingToText();  
        }   
} 

Remember your style should not be inside paragraph style group
