AppleScript - try to horizontally align the text in a text block

I tried the following excerpt, as well as several others:

say application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5.

tell the active document

the value Text_Frame to le text block "PH".

                    tell Text_Frame

the value theLines to each line

if (theTextPos = 'B') then

say theLines to the value Justification to left alignment

on the other

say theLines to the value Justification to Center Align

end if

end say

end say

end say

Get errors on the definition of the classes.

That is to say

error "can't set the 'class flap' of {\"MISSOULA COMMUNITY DOCTORS. "

"------", \"CENTER N ° 2

"------", ASSOCIATION \"CONDOMINIUM

"------", \"2827 FORT MISSOULA ROAD

"------", \"MISSOULA, MT 59804

\", \"

------"} for"constant mAOHcent"". "number-10006 'class flap' {'MISSOULA COMMUNITY doctors"

', ' CENTER NO. 2.

","CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION.

","2827 FORT MISSOULA ROAD.

', 'MISSOULA, MT 59804.

", "

", "

"}


Everything what I'm trying to do is to center the text in a text block if a condition is met, otherwise left align if another condition is met.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Don't get the first lines:

if (theTextPos = 'B') then

align the value of each line to left justification

on the other

align the value justification of each line to the Center

end if

    Some browsers interpret things a little differently than others. In general, that is to say the culprit to do something unexpected, but other browsers have their things too.

    I need the numbers to be central at the time, if that makes sense? The only way I could do it so far is to write in excel, Center it and then paste it to the Commission in the PS, but due to the size, I work at, I have to resize each month individually, which means they could end up being slightly different and I need them to be perfect. Is it possible that I can do this in PS, I know, I work with the exact sizes on each month?

    It's probably something really simple that I'm missing, but I just can't cope.

  • Table header row gets cut off from view when the text block is resized

    I'm designing a table that has a header row, 6 body rows and 5 columns. I want the header skewed to 20º and rotation type of needles from the same angle. Knows someone who worked with tables, it is not possible to rotate the text to this value via the parameters of the cell, but the job is to split the table into two blocks of text. The lower sash will be the body lines, but the Executive must have the header where it gets skewed to the specified angle. The text must be created in separate and then cut and paste frames in each column header and then it can be rotated.

    The problem I have is when I try to drag the bottom of the text block to the top while the header remains visible, the header gets cropped view. The only way to prevent it from is Cup is I leave the first line in the frame, but then it gets skewed is not what I want. It seems that the block of text ignores the header still exists. The screenshot below has two tables. The top version is the one that I want to apply the effect to. The bottom has the effect, but his top line is a line of body (not a header).

    I don't think that it is possible to have a heading row without at least a body line in the framework...

  • position of the image/text in the text block

    Hello

    I use textframe to place images and text.

    WHN I put the text / images, by default, the images are aligned at the top of the text block, I need to put it at the bottom of the textframe.

    is there a possible adjustment of the document actuive / app so that by default the content should be aligned to the bottom

    Thank you.

    Search in the object that defines the vertical positioning: textFramePreferencesand you will see there at the time of the Document and the Application as possible parents.

    app.activeDocument.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
    

    define the default for new text frames downwards. You can also use

    app.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
    

    to set it as a global preference for all your new documents, but anyway this sounds like a bad idea.

  • Problem with the text block, put in place when it is used on the page number marker

    Hello!

    I would use the text block on the marker page number on the master page in Indesign. The text block should change width when increases the page number. It does not work. What happens is that when the number of page moves a two-digit figure, the numbers tightened itself (compressed on top of each other) and the block of text changes size unless I drag on it (which means I have to manually unlock the master page first).

    I'm doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

  • How to get the text block, given anchor (~ a)

    I need to dynamically position anchored with anchor text blocks (but the relative position will be different for each anchor). If I grep ~ i can get the anchor marker - how to get the text block once I got this marker?

    Thank you

    The marker "anchor" is a character of "simple".

    So you can do the following if you have identified the character (and in this example selected it):

    //Start with an "Anchor Marker" selected:
    var myCharacter = app.selection[0];
    
    if (myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames.length == 1){
    
    var myAnchoredTextFrame = myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames[0];
        //do something with the anchored text frame:
        myAnchoredTextFrame.fillColor = "Yellow";
    
        };
    

    You can set the myCharacter variable differently, if you know the index of the character according to his history of parent.

    Or if you have found the character as part of a search GREP or TEXT by ExtendScript (JavaScript).

  • Text on the stroke to the text block

    I was wondering if there is no way to force the text in a text block to be at the top of the race that I added to the text box. The descenders are cut and I have messed around with various options of baseline for the text block, but can't seem to find a way to make it work without making the largest text block which I prefer not to do.

    I saw a few solutions, but they all seem to be for earlier versions by using the settings that I can't find in the CC options.
