    Hi
    I need help with my code. I created a new text box and I would like to apply an object style to this text box. Note that object style and paragraph styles are already default in Indesign.

    I did several tests but it does not work

    ————
    Code:

    //New Text Frame
    myFrame=newDoc.textFrames.add(newDoc.layers.item(“Slug”));
    myFrame.contents = K + ” ” + G + (“\r”) + H ;
    myFrame.geometricBounds = [-5,0,0,D]; ////Top, Left, Bottom, Right
    //OK for now

    //To apply Object Style,
    //I have tried this:
    //var myObjectStyle = “Slug”;
    //myFrame.applyObjectStyle(newDoc.objectStyles.item(myObjectStyle));

    //I have tried this:
    //myFrame.applyObjectStyle(myObjectStyle, true);

    //and many more

    ————

    Or is it possible to apply an Object Style according to the label name?
    myFrame.label = “SlugTx”;

    ————

    I have a pdf with examples of scripts but this seems to be only for Indesign CS6 and I’m working with 2015. So I’m not sure about which object model I should use.

    If you have the solution ca would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
    Kathy

    Try this:

    myFrame=newDoc.textFrames.add(
    {
    itemLayer:newDoc.layers.item(“Slug”),
    contents:K + ” ” + G + (“\r”) + H ,
    geometricBounds : [-5,0,0,D],
    appliedObjectStyle:myObjectStyle,
    label: “SlugTx”;
    }
    );
