    I am trying to put together a script to set all my footnote options in one go and the one thing I can’t figure out is how to set the footnoteMarkerStyle and footnoteTextStyle footnote options with paragraph and character styles for my styles that are within folders

    These are the two lines of my script as they are now, first setting the Footnote Marker character style:
    app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteMarkerStyle = "[Superscript]superscript";
    where [Superscript] is my character style folder and superscript is my character style within that folder.

    The next line is setting the footnote paragraph style
    app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteTextStyle = "[Footnotes]footnote\ \(symbols\)";
    where [Footnotes] is my paragraph style folder and footnote (symbols) is my paragraph style within that folder.

    Is there a certain a way for calling style that are in folders? I’m guessing there is, does anyone know how to do it?

    Hi Aaron! Nice to hear from you. As you know, I’m not much of a scripter myself… we’ll see if anyone shows up here who is, and can help. In the meantime, if you’re on FB, I highly recommend asking this group:

    app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteMarkerStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyleGroups.item(“Superscript”).characterStyles.item(“superscript”);
    app.activeDocument.footnoteOptions.footnoteTextStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Footnotes”).paragraphStyles.item(“footnote (symbols)”);

      Thank you very much, Michel! You are a great Jedi.
      Remember that you can put code or pre html tags around the text and it will keep the quote marks straight.
      
So the text will "look like this"

      Thank you Michel, I figured there was a way that I haven’t learned yet how to do, and that works perfectly! You are a true Jedi!
