    I'd like to handle it with script instead of paragraphstyle.

    After I select a textframe, the script to change the textframe with following setting.

    font -> Arial Bold

    HorizontalScale of font NOT textframe size!! -> 80

    Horizontal chat space -> 10

    Color -> “C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0”

    Because I just use it for 1-2 times, I don't want add to much paragraphstyle on list.

    Anyone can help, Thank you.

    Well you should make Paragraph Styles for this.

    You can also make an Object Style – select the Frame and Apply the Object Style – which can envoke Paragraph Styles.

    I'm sure it's scriptable, but not necessary.

    That really grinds my gears.

    I'd like to handle it with script instead of paragraphstyle. [..] Because I just use it for 1-2 times, I don't want add to much paragraphstyle on list.

    So you want someone to write a custom script for you even though you will use it once, or maybe two times. I really have better things to do.

    Additionally, I agree with Eugene:

    Since there are over 40 colors to be set for different matchs, there was already too many colors in the list and my boss NOT accept me to add other new styles. The combinaton of different color and font setting is too much on style, it is multiple (40+) * (3+) * (3+) …, and thus I'd like simple code to handle.

    For color is easy, just asign to bgcolor = “XXX” or “None” to empty it.

    But I just need the coding of?

    HorizontalScale of font NOT textframe size!! -> 80

    Horizontal chat space -> 10

    using VB “Switch” to handle will be easy instead to adding too many style, whatever paragraphstyle nor objectstyle.

    Please tell me the coding if you know, Thank you.
