Hi all

I am looking for a working method or script that will disable hyphenation in all the paragraph styles in an existing document in one go in Indesign Windows 11. I can do it manually, paragraph style by paragraph style but its a long process in large documents.

Thanks
John

Correct answer Stefan Rakete

Something like this:

var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
var allParagraphStyles = curDoc.allParagraphStyles;
for (var p=0;p<allParagraphStyles.length; p++) {
    var curParStyle = allParagraphStyles[p];
    try {
        curParStyle.hyphenation = false;
    } catch(e) {}
}
