Hi!

I'm looking for code to add to a script that will change the case of a specific paragraph style to AllCaps. To be clear, not to change all instances to uppercase but to change the case inherent to the style to AllCaps. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks,

Eubha

Hi @EubhaLiath, this is how:

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myParaStyle = doc.paragraphStyles.itemByName('My Style');

if (myParaStyle.isValid)
    myParaStyle.capitalization = Capitalization.ALL_CAPS;

That's brilliant, thank you! Exactly what I needed. Only small hiccup - it doesn't work if the style is in a style folder and I'm not sure how to alter it to sort that. Any ideas?

Hi @EubhaLiath

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myParaStyle = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.item("My Group").paragraphStyles.itemByName('My Style');

if (myParaStyle.isValid)
    myParaStyle.capitalization = Capitalization.ALL_CAPS;
