Hello,

I create lot of text frames and name them “D1Ext” thru “D37Ext” it is for calendar creation.
Then I create character styles “Weekday”, “Saturday”, “Sunday”,


set myPage to page 1 of document 1
		
tell myPage

set contents of text frame "D1Ext" to  D1Ext as string

apply character style text of  text frame "D1Ext" using "Sunday"

end tell

But when I try to apply character style to text frame I got an error message.

In Illustrator CS3 it is easy apply different character style for each character or all text.

What I am do wrong?
