Uwe I should have understood that.

Hi Simon Not a difficult problem but I don't have time for it now. However to make the part of finding the numbers on the pages easier do like this. 1) make a new Conditional text (Bright Yellow Highlight is good) 2) do a grep search on use Ctrl F with the grep \d+ 3) set the change format to the new Bright Yellow Highlight condition then do replace all This will highlight all your numbers for you. You can do another grep search for all the number that have mm after them and then change them to the "mm" condition use grep \d+\s+?(mm||millimeter) This should be helpful with the manual part of your problem Regards Trevor ...

Hi Ronald I'm pretty sure it's because labels as apposed to names are not intrinsically unique, so they can't be considered an identifier (which have to be unique).

How did you name it? Rec1 = myDoc.rectangles.add() In which case you need to use myDoc.rectangles.item(Rec1).place(myGraphicFile); without the "quotes" If you used "name" myDoc.rectangles.add({name:"Rec1"}) Then your code works If you used "label" myDoc.rectangles.add({label:"Rec1"}) then that's not good If you want to refer to it, AFAIK you have to loop through all the rectangles and see if there label is =="Rec1" Let us know if this solves your problem Trevor ...

Hi Harbs If I want to get the Enumeration value for an object I could use for example. app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle .diacriticPosition*1 I would get back the value for example 1685090164 To get the string of the enumaration I can use app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle .diacriticPosition.toString() this will return OPENTYPE_POSITION (will also return this without the toString but the toString prevents it revering back to a numeric) If I were to enter app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle .diacriticPosition = 1685090164 that's going to work but if I enter app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle .diacriticPosition = OPENTYPE_POSITION that's not going to work. In this non-numeric form I need to enter app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle .diacriticPosition = DiacriticPositionOptions.OPENTYPE_POSITION Is there a way of "Extracting" this term DiacriticPositionOptions ?

Well I think finally cottoned on to what you want to do. You want the new style not to be based on an existing style of the selection but rather on the properties of the selected paragraph / object that have even though they don't have a style. The below script does not do that ! It copies styles but might be a guide of how to go about things You might be able to invoke a menu action to add the new style and then rename it using an addaption of the script bellow mySelection=app.selection[0] try {     sas=mySelection.insertionPoints[0].appliedParagraphStyle;

OK If you don't want to be a monk then mySelection=app.selection[0] saps=mySelection.appliedParagraphStyle newOrRefinedStyle="My new or refined style"; // change the name as you please ;-) tempPS=saps.duplicate (); try{tempPS.name=newOrRefinedStyle} catch (exists) {app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(newOrRefinedStyle).remove (tempPS);   tempPS.name=newOrRefinedStyle;   } use the same idea for the objectstlye. I'm off to bed now bye ZZZZZZzzzzzz ... View more

Ok. I get the point. To make a new style is realy easy Just use tempPS=saps.duplicate (); tempPS.name=newOrRefinedStyle; The problem is changing the properties if the style that exits. You might be able to loop through them ... View more

Easy Peasy. This is one way of doing it Go through Jongware's Object reference and go through all the properties of paragraph style and continue the list I started.  Should only take an hour or so. Do the same with object properties, could take a very lot of hours there But it will work should be a more normal way to get all the properties but it's time for me to get to sleep mySelection=app.selection[0] saps=mySelection.appliedParagraphStyle newOrRefinedStyle="My new or refined style"; // change the name as you please ;-) (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(newOrRefinedStyle).isValid) ? 0 : app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.add ({name: newOrRefinedStyle}); with (app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(newOrRefinedStyle)) {     alignToBaseline = saps.alignToBaseline;     allowArbitraryHyphenation = saps.allowArbitraryHyphenation;     appliedFont = saps.appliedFont;     appliedLanguage = saps.appliedLanguage;     // and so on and so on ............. } ...
