    I just had my first instance of needing this script, and I can’t get it to work. The list of paragraph styles is blank, and I’m not sure how to make it populate. Clicking “Update list” doesn’t seem to have an effect.

    I saved a screenshot at https://i.imgur.com/GdppbYP.jpg

    As you can see, the document has numerous paragraph styles, but the list in the script dialog is empty. Find/change is set to the space before I need to change, but in the script dialog it thinks I’m looking for italic.

      Hi Elaine,
      Everything seems correct, except for the fact that you’re using the GREP tab in the Find/Change dialog.
      For Search in Styles, you should use the regular “Text” tab.
