Yep, Harbs is correct.
The script emerged from within the pages of this site, and you can find it here.
Actually, it was written to the request of Nye Hughes, who fathered the Applescript version of it (one comment above), and raised the challenge for a Javascript version.
The rest is history.

As Apple recently closed the curtain over the .mac sites, there’s no way to update my public folder, so I’m currently in the process of constructing my “Scripting Fair” site, where you’ll be able to download free scripts, order custom scripts, and even use an innovative web tool to construct your own script.

Cool list, AM.

Don’t forget to read AM’s post on degunkifying word files http://www.senecadesign.com/designgeek/dgarchives/designgeek65.php#degunk_word

I do a lot of importing of Word documents on a daily basis, long documents to brochures to magazines.

The above scripts, especially the first one mentioned, has saved me hours of work in formatting and proofing time.

Can’t thank those guys enough for all the hard work they do and letting people have it for free.

Thanks guys.

I could have sworn that Adi wrote about his script on this site, but I can’t find it now.

BTW, My script will apply the style to any text which has it applied in any way — with either nested styles, GREP styles, or line styles.
