Reply To: Change character preference settings for all documents in a book

Unfortunately the Superscript and Subscript position in the Preferences are document specific – not application wide.

Pity that – you could style the Superscript and Subscript with a character style using this script https://creativepro.com…..atting.jsx

You need to copy that text to a text pad (not word or any program that can contain styles) and save the file as preservelocalformatting.jsx

Run the script on all the 20 documents.

Then change the Baseline Shift in character style for Superscript and Subscript.

Now you can synch the character styles across all the book documents by selecting the document you edited the Superscript and Subscript as the source style.

Hope that helps.

Maybe someone can make a script that will change the Preference for all the documents in a folder or something? Not really my area of expertise.
