Font size script

I have edited Haakenlid script.

My script change point size in all Paragraph style.

Here is my version:

var changePointSize = 1;  
var changeLeading = 2;  
var myPStyle = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles;  
var newLeading, newPointSize;  
for (var i=1; i<myPStyle.length; i++){  
     newPointSize = myPStyle.pointSize+changePointSize;  
     newLeading = myPStyle.leading+changeLeading;  
     myPStyle.pointSize = (newPointSize>0)? newPointSize: myPStyle.pointSize;  
     myPStyle.leading = (newLeading>0&&myPStyle.leading!=Leading.AUTO)? newLeading: myPStyle.leading;  
}

Just found this script on the adobe site which does the job.

var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
//Clear the find/change preferences.
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;
//Search the document for the 12 point text and change it to 11 point text.
app.findTextPreferences.pointSize = 12;
app.changeTextPreferences.pointSize = 11;
myDocument.changeText();
//Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

However it means i have to enter in the text values from within the script (highlighted above). Could an alert window be used so that when i run the script i can enter the findTextPreferences.pointSize (eg. 10 pt) and then enter the changeTextPreferences.pointSize (eg. 9 pt) whilst the script has been activated, here's my example of the pop up window i'm trying to explain (excuse my photoshop skills!):

Or an even better script, would be regardless of the current text pt size (whether it be 12pt 14pt or 8pt) and reduce all txt sizes by a certain pt size....Its just so a user can literally click a and change all text sizes by a pt size at the click of a button.

Hope im getting my point across, other than that i'll just use the find and change.

HI Rob

Try below code

add ur style name and point size

Is there anyway to adjust the following script so that I don't have to select the text before adjusting the size, i.e. once the script is activated it'l ask what size you want to adjust the text too in the whole document. This way I can adust the font sizes by 0.5pt in the whole document without selecting each and every story and tables.

var the_document = app.documents.item(0);
var the_selection = app.selection[0];

var the_dialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Resize selected text"});
with(the_dialog.dialogColumns.add()){
    with(dialogRows.add()){
        staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Resize the selected text by"});
        var increase_by = measurementEditboxes.add({editUnits:MeasurementUnits.POINTS, editValue:0});
    }
}
the_dialog.show();

counter = 0;
do {
    var current_character = the_selection.characters.item(counter);
   
    current_character.pointSize = current_character.pointSize + increase_by.editValue;
    counter++;
} while (counter < the_selection.characters.length);

alert("Done!");

This may or may not help (it's not my script). Go to this web page:

Download the "Resize selected text" script. It only works on selected text (you can either select the text itself or the text frame).

You can use the InDesign built-in SEARCH AND REPLACE command. It allow you to search any fonts and size, and replace with tour new settings.

If all the text is in one story this can be done without a script. Press Ctrl+Enter for quick apply and then type decrease and choose decrease font size (there is a keyboard shortcut for this, I just don't remember it). You can adjust how much it decreases by going to Edit-Prefernces-Units and  Increments.
