Hope this helps. Cari Hi Laura,

I have been using indesign for years and only just found out about the scripts palette - thanks. Is there a way I can make this script part of an object style, so that I can apply a style to a square edged rectangle - rather than enter new parameters for each individual object? Hi Cari,
This is a great tip. I have been using indesign for years and only just found out about the scripts palette – thanks.

Is there a way I can make this script part of an object style, so that I can apply a style to a square edged rectangle – rather than enter new parameters for each individual object?
