Search for a inline object and a apply a paragraph style

[Thiago Ribeiro Nogueira]

Hi!

I need to find all inline elements with a object style applied on it go to the paragraph where they are placed and apply a different paragraph style. See the images for examples.

Here the object style applied:

I want to find them, go to their paragraph:

And apply other paragraph style (one with spaces before and after):

Is this possible with a script? I'm sending the indesign files too!
Please help me.

Hi @Thiago Ribeiro Nogueira,

Try the following code

app.findObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles = "box"
var r = app.activeDocument.findObject()
for(var i = 0; i < r.length; i++)
{
	if(r[i].parent.constructor.name == "Character")
		r[i].parent.appliedParagraphStyle = "space"
}
app.findObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles = null

Thank you! It works!

Nice to know about that parent.constructor thing!

Instead the box you could do a paragraph style as in my example below. Than you can easily find all these paragraphs and apply different paragraph styles.

Hi vladan!

My file is only a example file. I really want to apply paragraph style to these inline objects, because this will make easy a export HTML thing that I'm work in. But thank you for your answer!
