Example. The following example changes all left-aligned text in the current publication to justifed text. (Notice that it sets all other Find and Change attributes to Any.) It then queries for the Find and Change paragraph attributes.

PFindParaAttr("Any", kAlignmentLeft, kFCAttrAny); PChangeParaAttr("Any", kALignmentJustify, kFCAttrAny); PFindTypeAttr1("Any", kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny); PChangeTypeAttr1("Any", kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny); PFindTypeAttr2(kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, "Any", kFCAttrAny); PChangeTypeAttr2(kFCAttrAny, kFCAttrAny, "Any", kFCAttrAny); PChangeAll("", "", kFCSAllStories, kFCAnyCase, kFCAllInstances, kFCUseAttributes); PGetFindParaAttr(); // Reply: "Any", 0, kFCAttrAny PGetChangeParaAttr(); // Reply: "Any", 3, kFCAttrAny
