: Automatically resize an object by a percentage when a particular object style is applied to it I work for an education company, and we deal with a good number of fractions when writing our

@Cofer715

Here is a little snippet you can run as a script:
#target indesign

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.itemByName("fractionStyle");
var myScaleFactor = 85;

for(var i = 0; i < doc.pageItems.length; i++){

if(doc.pageItems[i].appliedObjectStyle == myObjectStyle){
doc.pageItems[i].horizontalScale = doc.pageItems[i].verticalScale = myScaleFactor;
}
}


This will loop through all page items in the document, look for the ones that have the object Style "fractionStyle" assigned to them and scale them to 85% of their original size.

Remember to set the reference point for transformations first (upper left corner) to control in which direction the scaling will happen.

Use the "Find and replace" window in Indesign (cmd+f):

Click on "find format"
Insert the info of the type you want to change, be as specific as possible: font, size, colour, weight, etc.
Go to "change format"
Insert your new font size
Click at change all
**If you are not sure your parameters are specific enough you can easily change them one by one by clicking change/find
