    Why don’t you use the Book feature in InDesign? It will save you all the trouble.

    Hi, Masood. Sorry for the delay. This should work:

    app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = false;
// 'Undo' will undo the entire script
app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Image Manipulation Script");
function main(){
	// Capture the current selections in array
	var mySelections = app.selection;
	for (var i = 0; i < mySelections.length; i++) {
		var myObject = mySelections[i];
		try {
			myObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.appliedPathName = myObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.photoshopPathNames[0];
			myObject.pageItems.item(0).clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.PHOTOSHOP_PATH;
			}
		catch (myError) {
			// If it can't apply the Photoshop path then it obviously does not have one
			alert("Selected image does not have a Photoshop path applied")
			}
		myObject.fit(FitOptions.contentToFrame);		
		}
	}

    There are numerous ways to achieve that, but this is what I concocted on the fly:

    Find What: (^.+?)()
    Change To: $1

    Please note that this will delete the tab but not put in a space in its place. If you want to add a space use this in the Change To field:
    $1

    Robert, just throwing in my two cents here.

    What do you mean that you ‘lose the boxes…’? Do you check the ‘Auto-Fit’ checkbox before scailng?

    The following simple script assumes that all the styles are paragraph styles and that it is spelled correctly.

    var allParaStyles = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles;

changeName("body text 60", "body text 70");
changeName("Bold 6055", "Bold 7055");
changeName("Heading", "Heading 70");
changeName("Title", "Title 70");

function changeName(oldName, newName) {
	for (var i = 2; i < allParaStyles.length; i++) {
		var curStyle = allParaStyles[i];
		var curName = curStyle.name;
		if (curName == oldName) {
			curStyle.name = newName;
			break;
			}
		}
	}

    You can easily change the style names or add more.

    This can easily be done. But please provide me with the exact names of the paragraph styles (including the correct capitalization and spaces). And then its respective names to be changed to.

    Try this:

    Find What: .+?.+?

    Change To: $0yourtext

    Hi Mark. Have you tried downloading the script that I attached (as opposed to copying and pasting the text)?

    It’s probably because of the Paragraph Composer as opposed to the Single Line Composer. The Paragraph Composer tries to even out all lines of the paragraph.

    If the file does indeed not rely on any plugins then exporting to IDML should do the trick.

    I don’t think that’s possible. Only one text frame can be ‘primary’.

    Hi, Will.

    It’s possible that the quotes is the problem. Download the original script from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1RRTxzKmM9oWDJMRjBDNUhUZGc

    I don’t use cross references very often so I’m a bit unfamiliar but I wonder if this is also happens when you turn on the All Information option in the Clipboard Handling section of the InDesign preferences.

    How are you running the script, from the Scripts panel or from the ESTK?
