Use of currentParagraph.paragraphStyle with JSX

[ludovic_6657]

Hi, I try to change the paragraph style of a text using this function in jsx : currentParagraph.paragraphStyle = styleToApply; 

the style exists and no error appears but nothin happend. Somebody know why? I made a lot of tests during hours but i can't find the issue!

Thanks in advance.

The syntax you're using is incorrect. You have to supply the paragraph to the paragraph style.

var idoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPara = idoc.paragraphStyles["myPara"]; // paragraph style name

var para0 = selection[0].textRange.paragraphs[0]; // selected text frame first paragraph 

myPara.applyTo(para0, true); // apply paragraph style to supplied paragraph

Thanks for your help. What about character style? Are they working on the same way?

[CarlosCanto]

yes, use the same concept for applying character styles
