    app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs.everyItem().clearOverrides(OverrideType.ALL);

    didn’t work.
    But, using parentStory.texts[0] instead of paragraphs.everyItem() did work

    app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].parentStory.texts[0].clearOverrides(OverrideType.ALL);

    Thanks for the help guys.

    clearObjectStyleOverrides doesn’t give me an error but it doesn’t remove the overrides on my paragraph.

    Anyone know how I can remove the overrides on my paragraph?

    Well, I am only trying to break it down to more manageable chunks for me as I am learning a little about scripting in InDesign.

    What I am really after is a script that builds the whole 80 page magazine with just one click.

    I actually need a loop that places approximately 60 images at specific spots in 10 articles. I thought that if I kept it simple I would learn more and maybe be able to expand it on my own.

    It is part of a template that I have made for a 3 page article with 4 images.
    Page 12 in the magazine is the first article and it contains one image placeholder. Page 13 contains two placeholders and page 14 contains one placeholder.

    I intend to expand the script later, so my next question would probably be how do I make the loop go through multiple folders ;)

    Excellent! Thanks guys.
    Should I put this inside a try catch block or isn’t that necessary?

    Thanks.
    When I include both my heading styles in the TOC it looks like this.

    blah blah blah……………………10
    – blah blah blah blah
    blah blah blah……………………15
    – blah blah blah blah
    blah blah blah……………………20
    – blah blah blah blah
    etc.

    Maybe I did it wrong , but I couldn’t get that to work.

    Ok. Thanks for your replies.
    I guess I have to spend some time learning GREP and scripting.

    That could work. For the end mark at least. But for some reason I can’t move the square left or right. The tracking doesn’t seem to work.

    Thanks.
    I tried placing a rectangle of 2x2mm at the end of the article but when I changed the text the rectangle was no longer at the end of the text.
    Wish InDesign had something more dynamic for this.
