Replace language of styles in Style Group

[Guest]

Hi All,

Can someone help modify my script so it could also edit styles in Style Group. I tried several time  by creating a nested loop under another the variable for paragraphStyleGroups but I can't get it to work.

myDoc = app.activeDocument;

myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;

myCStyles = myDoc.characterStyles;

for (i = 1; i < myStyles.length; i++)

{

myStyle = myStyles;

myStyle.appliedLanguage = "Spanish";

}

for (i = 1; i < myCStyles.length; i++)

{

myCStyle = myCStyles;

myCStyle.appliedLanguage = "Spanish";

}

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kel

Hi Harbs

I need to change the Name of the Styles using a Script.

If the Style is not in a Group the below script works but if the style is in a Group it is not getting renamed.

       var myDoc=app.activeDocument;

       var myStyle=myDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName(oldStyle);
       alert(oldStyle);
       alert(newStyle);
       myStyle.name=newStyle;

Please HELP!!!

Thanks

Use allParagraphStyles and allCharacterStyles.

myStyles = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;

myCStyles = myDoc.allCharacterStyles;

If you want change style name  within group then you need to go through all style compare with your old  style and rename with new one.

Check below code:

var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
var myallParaSyles = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;
for(a=2; a<myallParaSyles.length; a++)
{
     if (myallParaSyles.name == oldStyle);
     {
          myallParaSyles.name  = newStyle;
     }
}

Hi Saai,

Footnote creation:

var doc,  root,  childs,  max = 0; 

if(app.documents.length==0)

{}else

{ 

    doc = app.activeDocument; 

    root = doc.xmlElements[0]; 

    childs = root.evaluateXPathExpression("//footnote"); 

    max = childs.length; 

    if(max==0){}else{ 

        alert(max);

        for(var i = 0; i< max; i++){ 

            childs.xmlContent.select();

            var fnText = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; 

            var fNote = app.activeDocument.selection[0].footnotes.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, fnText.insertionPoints[0]); 

            fNote.texts[0].insertionPoints[-1].contents = fnText.contents;

            fnText.remove();

            } 

        }

    }
