Select all text from one paragraph or character style

Putting aside the issue as to whether you should outline the text (as it could cause a host of issues, such as flow issues across threaded frames), here's a script that would do it by character style. Use at your own risk.

var main = function() {
    var charStyleToFind = "Style1";
    try { 
        var doc = app.activeDocument; 
    } catch(e) {
        return;
    }
    app.findTextPreferences = null;
    app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = charStyleToFind;
    var fs = doc.findText();
    for (var i = fs.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        try {
            fs[i].createOutlines();
        } catch(e) {}
    }
}
main();

"it is not possible to select all text at once from that character style from each text frame on one page."

Of course. m1b already said that in the first reply of this thread:

"You can't actually "select" it because you can't select non-consecutive text ranges."

To select text that is in non-consecutive text ranges is simply not a feature in InDesign.

No need for a script. Just run a find/change and leave the find field empty

Click on the magnifying glass icon to choose the paragraph (or character) style you need to find

Hi @славишап52914384, can you give us a bit more information? What do you plan to do with the text? You can't actually "select" it because you can't select non-consecutive text ranges.
