Yesterday I twittered I was »Considering trying to translate my free InDesign AppleScripts to JavaScript. Could potentially learn a lot from it« (link).

Today I decided to try it out.

Now the first translation is available!

I decided to start out with one of the scripts I find most useful, fixing paragraph style combinations.

The script allows you to select a paragraph style combination and change it to another. For instance, if you need to search for all subheading followed by indented paragraph combinations and change the indented paragraphs to none-indented, this is the tool for you.

Translating the script should enable you to use the script in Windows as well, so go ahead and try it out!

I will soon begin translation of my other scripts, but I will not promise that all scripts will be translated, neither now or in the future - I'm still better at AppleScripting.

I am THRILLED! The first time I visited here and found all AppleScript, I was disapointed. I hope to add your scripts to my workflow.

(I design for print for a non-profit cluster: newsletters, flyers, the occasional book.)
