Working with Documents in AppleScript

Setting text-formatting defaults
You can set the default text-formatting attributes for your application or for individual documents. If you set
the text-formatting defaults for the application, they become the defaults for all new documents—existing
documents remain unchanged. When you set the text-formatting defaults for a document, any new text that
you put into the document uses those defaults, and any existing text remains unchanged.
Setting application text defaults
To set the text-formatting defaults for your application:
--ApplicationTextDefaults.as
--An InDesign CS2 AppleScript
--Sets the application text defaults, which will become the text defaults for all
--new documents. Existing documents will remain unchanged. Note that all of
--these properties could be set using a single "with properties" statement--we’ve
--split them into separate statements here for the sake of clarity.
