Clarify ClearOverrides

[BEGINNER_X]

Hi All,

I need clarify in overrides

app.selection[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.ALL);         //working fine

But,

app.selection[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.PARAGRAPH_ONLY);     //not working

simply select the single paragraph with some tracking, but it not working fine.

Could you explain how can we use "app.selection[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.PARAGRAPH_ONLY)"

Thanks in advance

I think tracking is a character override.

You should probably be somwhat more explicit as to exactly what it is that does not work.

This works for me (works with a a whole text frame selected, or a text selection):

app.selection[0].texts[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.CHARACTER_ONLY);

The character style trackning is removed, and only from the selection.

Best regards,
