  Hi there,
  Is there any exhaustive list of Objects and its properties, Methods and parameters documented anywhere?
  
  I am asking this with respect to InDesign, JavaScript in Windows.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Sure — open ESTK (ExtendScript Toolkit), and hit F1 to open the object viewer. Select InDesign in the dropdown on the left, and you’ll see it all…

  The ExtendScript Toolkit is all you need. However, if you need more, I would suggest vising this valuable resource:

  Thank you very for the replies to all…
  
  But still…
  
  Ok, I should have explained more. Below is my code to Create a Character Style.
  
  function CreateCharacterStyle(myCharacterStyleName){
  var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
  try{
  myCharacterStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.item(myCharacterStyleName);
  myName = myCharacterStyle.name;
  }
  catch (myError){
  myCharacterStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.add({name:myCharacterStyleName});
  }
  }
  
  Fantastic…
  But, If I need to set the Font Family, Character Color, etc to the CharacterStyle, how to setup? What are the Properties to be setup for the Object?
  
  I am still unable to find out from he references.
  Thank you in advance again.
