@Hurix, ignore the previous one and try the below.

Hi Hasvi,

Try this.

var paras = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();

try{

     app.activeDocument.colors.add({name:"Red", model:ColorModel.process, colorValue:[15,100,100,0]});

}

catch(e){}

for(var i =0;i<paras.length;i++)

{

       for(var j =0;j<paras.words.length;j++)

       {

           if(paras.words.appliedFont.fontFamily != paras.appliedParagraphStyle.appliedFont.fontFamily)

           {

                paras.words.fillColor = app.activeDocument.swatches.item("Red");

               }

           }

    }

Regards,

Chinna

Hi Hurix,

Try this. It will apply "Red" color to the text which has font override.

var paras = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();

app.activeDocument.colors.add({name:"Red", model:ColorModel.process, colorValue:[15,100,100,0]});

for(var i =0;i<paras.length;i++)

{

       for(var j =0;j<paras.words.length;j++)

       {

           if(paras.words.appliedFont.fullName != paras.appliedParagraphStyle.appliedFont.fullName)

           {

                paras.words.fillColor = app.activeDocument.swatches.item("Red");

               }

           }

    }

Regards,
