Reply To: Help with editing script

Do you mean you want the very first character in the frame to use font[0] and swatch[0]? If that’s the case, you can adjust the for loop at the end of the script to start at the second character. Just change ch=0 to ch=1:
for (ch = 1; ch < app.selection[sel].characters.length; ch++) {

Then right above that loop, add a couple of lines to style the first character:
app.selection[sel].characters[0].appliedFont = font[0];
app.selection[sel].characters[0].fillColor = swatch[0];

And finally, to prevent the first font/swatch from being reused, you can add a couple of statements to remove them from the array:
font = font.slice(1);
swatch = swatch.slice(1);

Out of curiosity, what’s the utility of a script like this? I’m just having trouble thinking of how I would use this (other than to play an evil joke on someone… “what happened to all the text in your InDesign file??”).
