Paragraph Tools is good value for money. You should also use Character Tools for those pesky unused character styles and formats. Alan Although I am happy to recommend other tools, I should point out that my script ($80 and requires FrameScript) handles a lot of format types at once. Here are

Hi Richard, Thanks for the recommendation. FWIW, duplicating this script in ExtendScript would be a large undertaking. The FrameScript version is over 1700 lines and has gone through quite a few iterations over the years. Just think about what it takes to find/change a character format. You not

Standing back from this discussion (I'm excluded from a lot of plugins due to still being on Mac), I'd just point out the fact that I keep forgetting myself: that Steve Kubis' (SiliconPrairie) char and para tools work at the book level too. Construct a temporary book containing all the files

Hi John If your system's too pinned down to install a plug-in, AND you know the names of all those styles you want rid of, AND you've got a decent text editor, then you can do this on bulk MIF files. It'd pay to search the FM files first to make sure no text is using any of the old

Rick..im interested. Here's the kicker...im in a super-locked down environment and to install anything takes an act of god. Does your plugin require the installation of anything above and beyond FM11. Feel free to carry this conversation off-list. On Mar 19, 2013 7:13 PM, Matt Sullivan
