Paragraph style in a group of styles

[James A L]

How do you refer to a paragraph style that is in a group of styles?

Here is the script:

frm.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = "Title";

But the problem is that the style "Title" is in a group entitled "Headings" So how do I refer to it?

Thanks.

Hi
When paragraphStyles in paragraphStyleGroup, paragraphStyles parent is paragraphStyleGroup.
apply styles like below:

var pStyleGroup = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName('Headings');
var titleStyle = pStyleGroup.paragraphStyles.itemByName('Title')
frm.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = titleStyle;

Hi Ten,

Can you help me??

My problem is how to find style groups style?

My english is bad so please consider this.

Example:

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(.+?)";

app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "TXT1:TXT1_FrutigerLTCom";

app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle ="TXT3:TXT3_STIXRegular";

app.activeDocument.changeGrep();

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

This is not working because of group of style.

Try this,

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(.+?)";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.item("TXT1").characterStyles.item("TXT1_FrutigerLTCom");
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.item("TXT3").characterStyles.item("TXT3_STIXRegular");
app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
