Hi

My indesign file has already some Group style, when I try to flow the XML file in Indesign that time same style of paragraph are not mapped with automatically. FYI

Here 'TXT' style is already defined in 'Chapters' Group style (see Part A). After flowing again 'TXT' (see Part B) is coming in without mapping.

Now I want to map the 'Part B' style with 'Part A' is this possible by script?

Try this,

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;


app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "TXT";


app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Chapters").paragraphStyles.item("TXT"); 


app.activeDocument.changeGrep();  


app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
