I have a script written by Thomas Silkjær called fix_pstyle_pairs.jsx – it finds 2 consecutive paragraphs with para styles as specified and applies para styles that you set.
The problem is it only does one pair and you can’t save the settings; it resets to blank dialogs so you have to scroll through your styles list and re-select them every time you run it. I’m doing a series of chapters for several textbooks so I want to save a few sets of pairs to run for each chapter.
I actually own Harbs’ (In-Tools) PowerStyles, but it isn’t compatible yet with CC2017 so I need something else that works now.
ID-Extras sells Change Consecutive Paragraphs for $49 but again you have to run it on one set at a time. At least the demo I tried saved the most recent set of styles, which Fix Para Style Pairs does not do. But I don’t know if I can customize it to make multiple versions.
Does anyone have a script or plugin that will allow me to save pre-set pairs of para styles? If I could figure out where to enter the style names into the fix_pstyle_pairs.jsx script, I could save multiple versions but I can’t see where in the script I would put those.
Does anyone know of an existing solution for this? If not, is anyone willing to modify the fix_pstyle_pairs.jsx script for a fee? I’d be willing to pay for a script that I could run on 2 or 3 macs.

Obi Wan – I can’t tell what that emoji is . . . are you interested in doing the script?
How much would you charge? And would it then be OK to send it to others or post online? We can continue to discuss this outside of the forum if you send me an email address. Mine is matt at mayerchak dot com.
