Happy New Year, Rocky!
Good to hear that all went well. In the meantime I wrote an advanced version of the script with a little UI, that let you choose an available library and a font. Of course, now it's too late for that, but if you feel like it, test it on your material.
Just open a library, this time have no InDesign document open, the script will add one by itself and give it a go:
//Uwe Laubender
//ReformatTextAssets_2-3.jsx
/**
* @@@BUILDINFO@@@ ReformatTextAssets_2-3.jsx !Version! Mon Jan 04 2010 10:58:57 GMT+0100
*/
//DESCRIPTION:Reformats text assets of library to new paragraph style regardless of local formatting!
app.documents.add();
var d=app.activeDocument;
var pStyles=d.paragraphStyles;
var fontsList = app.fonts.everyItem().name;
if(app.libraries.length!=0){
var librariesList=app.libraries.everyItem().name;
}
else{
alert(“There is no library open. Please open a library and try again.”);
exit();
};
//Begin dialog:
var myDialog=app.dialogs.add({name:”List of Libraries and Fonts:”, canCancel:true});
with(myDialog){
with(dialogColumns.add()) {
with (dialogRows.add()) {
with(dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogColumns.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:”Library: “});
};
with(dialogColumns.add()){
var libraryDropDown = dropdowns.add({stringList: librariesList, selectedIndex:0});
};
};
};
with (dialogRows.add()) {
with(dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogColumns.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:”Font: “});
};
with(dialogColumns.add()){
var fontsDropDown = dropdowns.add({stringList: fontsList, selectedIndex:0});
};
};
};
};
};
var result=myDialog.show();
if(result == true){
var newFont = fontsList[fontsDropDown.selectedIndex];
var libraryName = app.libraries.item(librariesList[libraryDropDown.selectedIndex]);
myDialog.destroy();
};
else{
myDialog.destroy();
};
if(d.textFrames.length!=0){
for (n=0;n<d.textFrames.length;n++){
d.textFrames[n].remove();
};
};
//Getting rid of all paragraph styles that can be removed:
if(pStyles.length>2){
for(n=pStyles.length-1;n>1;n–){
pStyles[n].remove();

};
for(n=0;n<libraryName.assets.length;n++){
var assetName=libraryName.assets.item(n).name;
var assetDescription=libraryName.assets.item(n).description;
var assetLabel=libraryName.assets.item(n).label;
var assetAssetType=libraryName.assets.item(n).assetType;
libraryName.assets.item(n).placeAsset(d);
//Now give the old paragraph style a new font:
for(m=0;m<d.stories.item(0).paragraphs.length;m++){
if(d.textFrames.item(0).paragraphs.item(m).appliedParagraphStyle.isValid==true){
var appliedPStyle=d.textFrames.item(0).paragraphs.item(m).appliedParagraphStyle;
appliedPStyle.appliedFont=newFont;
};
else{
d.textFrames.item(0).paragraphs.item(m).appliedFont=newFont;
};
};
libraryName.assets[n].remove();
libraryName.store(app.activeDocument.textFrames.item(0));
libraryName.assets[0].name=assetName;
libraryName.assets[0].description=assetDescription;
libraryName.assets[0].label=assetLabel;
