> I had to remove the script from auto-run and re-enter if for the changes to take effect. Apparently, FM was using the previous version of the script and not re-opening it from the saved version on the hard drive like I would have expected.   Scripts are loaded into memory at FrameMaker startup so any changes you make won't be picked up until you restart FrameMaker. You can bypass this by running the script after making changes so that a fresh copy gets loaded into memory. ... View more

It looks like you figured it out. You could generalize the function to either add or remove change bars. var doc, textRange; doc = app.ActiveDoc; textRange = doc.TextSelection; applyOrRemoveChangeBar (textRange, 0, doc); // 0 remove; 1 apply function applyOrRemoveChangeBar (textRange, value, doc) { var prop; // Make a property list containing the change bar. prop = new PropVal (); prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_ChangeBar; prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer; prop.propVal.ival = value; // Apply the property to the text. doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop); } // End applyOrRemoveChangeBar ...

First of all, I don't see a call to the function in your code. Second, Constants and property names are case-sensitive. You want FP_ChangeBar (capital B). var doc, textRange; doc = app.ActiveDoc; textRange = doc.TextSelection; applyChangeBar (textRange, doc); function applyChangeBar (textRange, doc) { var prop; // Make a property list containing the change bar. prop = new PropVal (); prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_ChangeBar; prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Integer; prop.propVal.ival = 1; // Apply the property to the text. doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop); } // End applyChangeBar ...

Change Bar is a character property so it can be applied to one or more text characters. So first you have to find the character(s) that have the Change Bar property applied and then remove it. It's similar to what you did with the color property in one of your other posts. ... View more

It may be starting with the second paragraph, but if it is probably catching the first paragraph as it loops around. This is one of the pitfalls of using text colors to mark text instead of Conditional Text.   One thing to try: turn off the Condition Indicators before running the script so that it doesn't find red conditional text. ...

Here is what you need to apply a color to the selected text. I suggest putting this in a function so that it's easy to call on a particular text range. var doc, textRange, color, prop; doc = app.ActiveDoc; color = doc.GetNamedColor ("Black"); prop = new PropVal (); prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_Color; prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Id; prop.propVal.obj = color; textRange = doc.TextSelection; doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop); ... View more

You need to create a property list, add the color to the property list, and then use SetProps to apply the color to the text range. Although this example, is applying a character format name, not a color, the premise is the same. prop = new PropVal (); prop.propIdent.num = Constants.FP_CharTag; prop.propVal.valType = Constants.FT_String; prop.propVal.sval = name; doc.SetTextPropVal (textRange, prop); ...
