Title: Re: INDESIGN: Duplicating Char Style from One Doc to Anoth
That line generates an error: error "Invalid parameter." number 30477

I suspect it is, like Stan said, "Also, you should NOT pass any properties that are inappropriate in the target document, such as class, object reference, parent, and properties. Capture and pass only needed properties, such as include footnotes, etc."

But if that is the case (and I thought it was, too), and you don't want to have to set 50 or so properties (to make sure that the one that's needed didn't get ignored), how can you do it?

Since Shane seemed to think it was possible, and I hardly ever find him missing a trick, I'm still hopeful. Otherwise, I've got a working kludge.

As well as what Stan said, it will probably work if you put a "get" in there, straight after the second parenthesis, and moved vDestDoc so that you don't imply that ofvCurrentSourceGrepRef belongs to it. Something like:

set vDestAppliedCharStyle to (make new character style at end of vDestDoc with properties (get properties of applied character style ofvCurrentSourceGrepRef))
