If (!) App.Selection [0])
Alert ("did not select the object.");

Else if (app.selection [0] .textFrames)
{
if(App.Selection[0].) Happy) / / Word blocks

myDocument.changeText ();
Clear the find/change text preferences after the search.
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

w.Close ();
}

w.Show ();

}

=============================================

I can get the word, if run the script after the text selection (block).

But I don't know how to get the last word without selection (block).

Please help me.

Even a little helps a lot.

Thank you.

Hello

Your code is struggling while veryfying selection.

I suggest to create a new function to do this work and back on a Word or false.

This function must check if:

  • selection is valid
  • selection is "text".
  • detect if the selection is 'block' or 'cursor '.
  • find the last word and back OR false

That is like this:

var mySelWord = lastWord() ? lastWord().contents : "did not select the word.";
function lastWord()
{
  if (!app.documents.length || !app.selection.length)
  return false;
  var
       resWord = false,
       mSel = app.selection[0],
       mCursor, cIdx, mStory;

  if (mSel.hasOwnProperty ("baseline") )
       mCursor = mSel.insertionPoints[-1];
  else return resWord;

  cIdx = mCursor.index;
  mStory = mCursor.parent;

  do {
       if (!cIdx) break;
       if (mCursor.words.length) {
            resWord = mCursor.words[0];
            break;
       }
       mCursor = mStory.insertionPoints[cIdx--];
       } while (true)

  return resWord;
  }

Use var mySelWord of another script task

  • How to prevent the spell checker to automatically change the word I type?

    Hello

    I own a MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.8 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    I was struggling with the spelling corrector assuming what I type is wrong and so it changes the word for another while I am always type, the result is that the mess this creates a bad word that will not be corrected because the editor already "fixed" it while "I screwed up".

    The fact is that I'm Brazilian, so my first language is Brazilian Portuguese, which uses a series of special characters such as to, a, a, a, e, e, i, o, o, o and c, Furthermore, we seem to have many more words in our vocabulary and verb time if compared to English. The corrector seems to get confused with that too, and some Word's closer to her I am writing.
    What seems to be the boss, is that in English, the feature is very useful, but when I type special characters, it assumes that this word should not be even with the input source for Brazilian Portuguese, which makes me wonder why I would fix it for my language if I have not noticed any difference at all. He gets it wrong in 90% of the time and a Word by a word it is delay my work and make me hate my computer.

    Please, don't you know any solution for this? Go to system preferences > keyboard > text and UN-checking the "correct spelling automatically" doesn't change anything, even after restarting the computer. It's stressing me out of having to correct this as the corrector mess every 5 minutes!

    Any ideas how to get rid of it?

    Thank you!

    The input source has nothing to do with spell checking and AutoCorrect.  Dictionary used for this defined under Edition > spelling and grammar > show spelling and grammar (or in the system preferences, keyboard, text, spelling).  For best results, use the dictionary for your language and not "automatic".

  • How to change the word "HOME" on the tab to the name of the site?

    Hello

    I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the word "HOME" on the tab to the name of the site? the bit next to the favorite icon?  Any help is greatly appreciated

    In outline, it is enough to double-click the label beneath the thumbnail of the homepage and rename.  If you use an auto-menu of Muse, which renames all the links too.  This may or may not be what you want to accomplish.

    Another option is to open your page (s) Master, go to Page > Page Properties > metadata and enter your text to the title of the Page title prefix.  This text will appear in the tab before the page for each page name to that Master Page is applied.  This is a good option if, for example, you want your name or business name appear on each tab.

    Or, open a Page-master, go to Page > Page Properties > Options and use the name of the Page and the title of the Page.  Try it to see how they behave.

    You don't say what word processing software you use. You say "Word spelling dictionary", but with the 'word' PAP, you can refer to the spelling of the words, rather than the Word program.

    But if you talk about Microsoft Word, please post in the appropriate forum. Not only is your off-topic message here in a forum of Windows, but if you ask in the right place, you'll have a much better chance of getting the answer you need, since this is where technology experts of your drag.

    When you scan a document, what you get is a * photo * of the words, not the words themselves. If the quality of this image is good, you can convert editable text using a software called OCR (OCR) character type.

    Unless you already have an OCR program (many scanners come with a 'Lite version' of some OCR program) you will need to buy. The best one is generally regarded as spnord Fine Reader, but Omnipage (which I use) is also very good.
