I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do here
but a simple approach is to count stories of document 1
and then you can loop them in order to give each story a
name, having a list of names on your stories will allow
you to address each story individually. Hence you can ask
for the name of character style or paragraph style of a
story text style ranges and set a new style on a specific
range style. However you should know that in QX5 there is
a bug. Two paragraphs having the same setting except one
having an indent. (ie. "bread8pt" and bread8pt_indent)
This will return both paragraphs as one range, a simple
workaround would be to change one of the to paragraph
styles font size to 7.999pt. And also you should know that
asking for "style sheet" will in fact return the paragraph
style only. If you want character style then "character
style" it is. Allthough, if non applied you'll get an
error, use a "try" to trap that. Hope this will give you a
push.

Thanks.
The part I'm really stuck on is getting every instance of
a character-based style sheet and displaying a list of
the strings with that particular style. It's to provide
feedback to a group of writers and copy editors who are
tagging text with no apparent visual style, so they're
styling entire sentences, paragraphs, including spaces &
punctuation, etc.

I've been thru the Quark XPress scripting dictionary and
can't seem to
find the correct syntax to get and set the style sheet
info for text.
I need to be able to search for text with a given style
sheet
(character or paragraph), replace it if necessary, and
generate a
report listing the text changed. Any assistance is
appreciated...
Here is a start-
-- gets name of style applied
tell front document of application "QuarkXpress"
tell text box 1
get name of style sheet of paragraph 1
end tell
end tell
-- sets style
tell application "QuarkXpress"
tell story 1 of document 1
set style sheet of paragraph 1 to "myStyleSheet"
end tell
end tell
