Restart AE. Under the scripts menu the script should then be available. Can you try those steps and write back if you have problems? Dale Hey Mark,

I was wandering if there is a way to change a textLayer type from "point" to "paragraph" (and vice-versa) via JavaScript, after creating it with "addText(...)". I've googleing for a while but couldn't find anything close to the topic. Thanks, Met Great job, man!
