Hi everyone.
Every time I need to create an index manually, I rename the “Contents Style” to “Index Style,” save the original ID file (e.g., A.indd) as B.indd, then open the A.indd file and load B.indd in “Contents Styles” panel.
This gives me two identical contents Styles.
It’s a bit of a hassle.
Is there a way to directly copy an identical Table of Contents Style?
TOCStyle.duplicate() is exposed in the scripting
But it’s not in the UI - interesting
// Edit these two values if your style names are different.
var findName = "Contents";
var newName = "Index";
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var source = doc.tocStyles.itemByName(findName);
if (!source.isValid) {
alert("No matching TOC style found.");
} else {
var copy = source.duplicate();
copy.name = newName;
alert("Copied \"" + findName + "\" to \"" + newName + "\".");
}
