: Select all text across multiple stories I need to change all text in all the stories in an indd file from "Adobe Paragraph Composer" to "Adobe World-ready Paragraph Composer". Can it be done

I think it is not possible to select all stories at once with the UI.
You will have to iterate through all paragraphs in all textframes in all stories or the selected story. Should be something like (not tested):

edit: remove textframes as suggested by Jongware

for (var s = 0; app.documents[0].stories.length; s++) {
for (var p = 0; p < app.documents[0].stories[s].paragraphs.length; p++) {
app.documents[0].stories[s].paragraphs[p].composer = "Adobe World-ready Paragraph Composer";
}
}
