Find inline tables and apply paragraph style

Question

Dear Community,

Is there a possibility to find tables in the text and provide them with no specific paragraph style ('center' for example) with javascript?

Who can help me with this, he/she is a life saver!

Also, aint the solution. Still same error.

var style = app.documents[0].paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName( "Tabellen" ).
paragraphStyles.itemByName( "Tabel uitlijning" );


app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = '<0016>';
found = app.documents[0].findText();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
  found[i].tables[0].appliedParagraphStyle = style;
}

Sorry -- this line:

found[i].tables[0].appliedParagraphStyle = style

should be like this:

found[i].appliedParagraphStyle = style

Not sure I understood "provide them with no specific paragraph style ('center' for example)", you probably meant 'provide them with a specific paragraph style".

If that's the case, here's a possible script:

style = app.documents[0].paragraphStyles.item('center');
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = '<0016>';
found = app.documents[0].findText();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
  found[i].tables[0].appliedParagraphStyle = style;
}
