  set style sheet of paragraph 1 of  selection to H1

using this above script, i have applied para style to the selection.

how to apply characterstyle to the selection range? 

 Try this:

        set character style of paragraph 1 of selection to "H2"
 

 Tried. But not working.

 Perhaps there is local formatting that you need to override? Try this:

 set character style of paragraph 1 of selection to null
    set character style of paragraph 1 of selection to "H2"

Then there are questions such as: Have you actually selected the type? Applying to selection is not always a good idea, you might be better using :

 tell story 1 of text box 1

set character style of paragraph 1 to null
    set character style of paragraph 1 to "H2"

end tell

 In general, saying something 'doesn't work' isn't very helpful - try and describe as clearly as you can exactly what happens. If nothing happens at all, try varying the script a little so you can fathom what isn't working. Try inserting little 'display dialogs' to let you know where the script has got to.
