    Is there a script where I can redefine paragraph and character styles in fell swoop?

    Like for instance, if I resize the document then I get the point sizes in the parentheses. So I just want the script to select each style and choose to redefine the style to correct the point size.

    I basically want the script to select the style, “right-click” to refine it and move on.

    Thanks for your help.

    I’ve been trying to figure this out by seeing if another script can get me part of the way there but no dice.

    Not sure this will work as I don’t have access to ID currently and am a bit rusty, but I would try something along the lines of:

    var myPars = app.document.paragraphs.everyItem();

    for (var num = 0; num < myPars.length; num++) {
    var revisedPointSize = myPars[num].texts.anyItem().pointSize;
    myPars.appliedParagraphStyle.pointSize = revisedPointSize;
    }

    It could be made more elegant by skipping styles already fixed, or I could be approaching it totally backward or incorrectly, but that’s how I would start. This only accounts for point size and not other properties that might be changing, or character styles, but hopefully it helps you start to tackle it.
