Which style do you want to apply to the text in the list? (Using email

and can't see the picture)

Ariel

Also, is it a list of paragraph styles that you want?

Plus, how do you want the script to deal with style groups?

Ariel

I'm ignoring groups, and presuming we're on CS4 (and possibly upwards)

and that you've got your text cursor in an empty text frame, and I

haven't tested this much because I'm right in the middle of something,

but here goes:

myDoc = app.activeDocument;

myStyles = myDoc.allParagraphStyles;

myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;

for (a=0; a<myStyles.length; a++){

   myStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = myStyles[a].name+"\r";

   myStory.paragraphs[-1].appliedParagraphStyle = myStyles[a];

}

Does that help?

List of style carataires.
List of paragraph style and its réapliqué

For me it works, the code needs to be improved ...

Attention to the character in the names of styles (no (), ° §) it poses problems

Translation of French

Liste des style de carataires.

Liste des style de paragraphes et il son réapliqué

Pour moi ça marche, le code demande à être amélioré ...

Attention au caractère dans le nom des styles ( pas de (), °, §) sa pose des problème

var leNombreDeGroupeCara = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.length; // conteur de groupr de style  para

var lesStyleDocCara = [];

lesStyleDocCara = styleDocCar();

if (leNombreDeGroupeCara != 0 ) {

for (i = 0; i < leNombreDeGroupeCara; i++) { // for 01

       var conteurStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups[i].characterStyles.length;           

            for (y = 0; y < conteurStyle; y++) { // for 02

               lesStyleDocCara.push(app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups[i].characterStyles[y].name);

            } // for 02

        } // fin du FOR 01      

    } else {

        alert(leNombreDeGroupeCara);

Hi

I have treated one group of style, there should be a routine test in all the group!

Translation Frabçais

je n'ai traité qu'un seul groupe de style, il faudrais faire une routine qui test dans tous les groupe!

Philou

Short & sweet. Wasn't there a post on InDesignSecrets, by the way, doing the same? (Can't be bothered to look it up because this is way more fun.)

if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
          for (p=2; p<app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles.length; p++)
          {
                    name = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p].name;
                    par = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p].parent;
                    while (par instanceof ParagraphStyleGroup)
                              name = par.name+" : "+name, par = par.parent;
                    app.selection[0].parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].properties = {contents:name+"\r", appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p]};
          }

I Jongware,

This one is a very useful script for me and I supose for a lot of people. But it whould be better if it executes only with the paragrah styles that are inside a Style Group. Can you do this for me?

Thank you in advance

Maria

Yeah sure.

if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
 for (p=2; p<app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles.length; p++)
 {
  if (app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p].parent instanceof ParagraphStyleGroup)
  {
   name = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p].name;
   par = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p].parent;
   while (par instanceof ParagraphStyleGroup)
    name = par.name+" : "+name, par = par.parent;
   app.selection[0].parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].properties = {contents:name+"\r", appliedParagraphStyle:app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles[p]};
  }
 }

@Jongware:
Hm. Maybe it's better to set p=1 so we can catch the [Basic Paragraph] style.

Uwe

I intentionally skipped it because your documents can catch some contagious stuff from it!

(Interested lurchers: I started with index #2 because

#0 is [No Paragraph Style]

#1 is [Basic Paragraph Style]

Including [No Paragraph Style] is useless, as it's always equal to [Basic]. [Basic] can be redefined and used; however, I think in general it's advised not to, because copying text with a Basic style or one based on it to a document with a different definition Will Mess You Up.)

Hear, hear!

Thank you very much

Maria

Congratulations class! [Jongware]

Wow, always impressed! I added the Character style based on that script (changed all "Paragraph" to "Character" and  "p=2" to "p=1")
