Question

Script to apply a style to currently selected text

I can only find example scripts that work on complete files. What I want, is a script that works on currently selected text.

If I can create a macro that applies a specific paragraph style to all currently selected paragraphs, or a character style to currently selected text, I can put that style under a shortcut key.

That way, "emphasis" or "strong" can be put under ctrl-b, for example.

If there is another way to achieve the same (in RH 9), I would be interested to hear it as well.

Kind regards,

Erwin Timmerman

Nope.. Scripts do not have any information about opened files, let alone text selection. A macro is the only way to go.

In that case, how can I create a macro in RoboHelp that assigns a specific style to a shortcut key?

I think this maybe a case for a tool like Macro Express. There is nothing in RoboHelp that can help.
