Create paragraph style - predefined

[rajnikids]

Hi all,

I m trying to create paragraph styles, specifying what we need? But the script runs error.

I m specifying here the font family which i need and the font style.

can anybody sort this out.

var doc = app.documents.item(0);

var paraStyleBodyText = doc.paragraphStyles.add({

  name: "Ariel",

  fontFamily: "Time New Roman",

  fonStyle: "Roman",

  pointSize: 6,

  fillColor: "black25",

});

thanks,

rkids.

Thanks vamitul,

although after correction was made,

the error is; invalid parameter.

highlighting the line;

var paraStyleBodyText = doc.paragraphStyles.add({

thanks.& regards,

do it in two steps:

var paraStyleBodyText = doc.paragraphStyles.add();
paraStyleBodyText. name= "Ariel";
paraStyleBodyText.fontFamily= "Time New Roman";

etc etc.

hi Vamitul,

adding to rajnikids request, how do we add script for pointsize and fillColour to the below script you wrote:

pointSize: 6,

fillColor: "black25",

paraStyleBodyText. pointSize= 6,
paraStyleBodyText. fillColor="black25",

Thanks vam,

I tried the below option using your clue. All attributes creates automatically except the fontFamily "Times".

When i checked the fontfamily: it still remain in system font. Myriad pro not Times as we substituted here in script.

var doc = app.documents.item(0);

var paraStyleBodyText = doc.paragraphStyles.add({

name: "Ariel",

fontFamily: "Times",

fontStyle: "Bold",

pointSize: 6,

fillColor: "black25",

});

thanks

that's because there is no fontFamily..

the property you are looking for is: appliedFont.
