    Is there a script that will change all of the paragraph and character style sheets in a document to be based on [No Paragraph Style]?

    Currently, I am opening up each paragraph and character style sheet and changing the Based On: to [No Paragraph Style]. This can be a pain when there might be 50 or more style sheets.

    I am in need of doing this after the fact because I am working with customer-supplied InDesign documents.

    #targetengine “basedon”
    var aps = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles;
    var acs = app.activeDocument.allCharacterStyles;
    var len = aps.length+acs.length;
    var w = new Window(“palette”,”based on”);
    w.orientation = “row”;
    w.add(“statictext”,undefined,”styles left: “);
    var num = w.add(“statictext”,undefined,String(len));
    w.show();
    for (i=1;i<aps.length;i++){
    aps[i].basedOn = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles[0];
    len = len – 1;
    num.text = String(len);
    }
    for (i=1;i<acs.length;i++){
    acs[i].basedOn = app.activeDocument.characterStyles[0];
    len = len – 1;
    num.text = String(len);
    }
    w.close();
    alert(“Finished”);

    Thank you, unfortunately though I got an error:

    Error Number: 8

    Error String: Syntax error

    Line: 12

    Source: len = len -1;

    Offending Text: – 1

    Please, change the en-dash (–) to (-) two times — in 12 and 17 lines:

    len = len – 1;

    (it is somehow replaced when I made copy-paste from ESTK to the post).
