Reply To: Jongware: Your Preptext.jsx script breaks in 5.5?

I'll be writing a blog post about this shortly (and I discuss it in Podcast 167) but I wanted to mention that Peter Kahrel helped me out w/a project by writing an “add-on” to preptext.jsx, which I've called “PerfectPrepText.jsx.”

Download PerfectPrepText.zip

It's for working around the problem I originally posted at the top, that is, for running on InDesign-styled text that has local formatting you want preptext to affect (but not affect already-styled text). It requires preptext.jsx but before running it, it “neutralizes” applied styles, runs preptext, then re-constitutes the styles.

The Zip file comes with a couple permutations that I hope to explain (if not self-explanatory) in a post.
