Oh my. This is like an early Christmas present! It worked. I don't know how to thank you enough. Hope it didn't take up too much of your time. I think I will tell my client they get to see the pesky underlines until the last proof and then I'll run the script on however many pages the book turns into, right now it is looking like she is writing a 800+ page book and she likes her underlines!

Thanks again.

Still doesn't seem to work for me.

JavaScript Error!

Error Number: 8

Error String: Syntax Error

Then it names where it is save on my computer followed by

Line: 5
var blankStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(”NoUnderline”)

Offending Text: “

As I am not a script user I don't know how to trouble shoot. I really appreciate all your efforts.

I am in CS4. And it didn't make a “NoUnderline” character style.Hummm

The whole document is layed out with Character Styles because the person who typeset in Microsoft Word used all “Normal” text. Does that make since? But had about 7 different formattings applied throughout the whole document. Guess they don't know how to use styles in Word.

I imported the text into InDesign, then did a change font for the fonts I used in my Characters Styles. Then went in and did a “Find/Change” to apply my Character Styles to the whole document. Normally I would use Paragraph Styles and then apply individual Character Styles but because of the Word document formatting the only thing that worked was all Character Styles.

Sorry for the long explanation but I thought it might help troubleshoot the javascript issue.
