Can you change the appearance of multiple checkboxes the same time in an indesign document

Hi @Deefadog, try this script I wrote. But there's a little preparation first:

1. Open all your eight documents.

2. Create an object style that styles a checkbox they way you want.

3. Copy that object style into all your documents (eg. paste and then delete a checkbox into each.)

4. Edit my script, this line:

var objectStyleName = 'Put the name of your style here!'

5. Run my script (listed below).

Let me know how you go.
