Hi folks,

Is there anyway or method to find out if any cellStyle has been overridden through InDesign JavaScript?

I didn't see that when I tried. But the point is that the function can't be used for cells because cells will always be flagged as different. The OP wants to know whether any cells differ (from the aplied style), not how they differ.

Maybe not the function alone - but if we have a list of differences - we can ignore some and focus on the important ones?

This type of scripting problem are the most annoying to me as I know the answer is just there. Hidden from the scripter.

 

In the C++ SDK you can call QueryCellOverrides which returns all the overrides in one nice simple call.  You would have thought it would have been exposed to the scripting world, its been there since the beggining of time.
