• Select the block of text on each page of a sudden and resize them

  Hello, I want to do a 400 pages of text. How can I select the block of text on each page of a sudden and change their size at the same time? (each block of text is the same size per page)

  Make a backup copy of the file incase something goes wrong, then:

  Ensure that executives align on the margins on all sides - change margins of the master page applied to achieve, if necessary.

  Allow the adjustment of the layout (layout > setting layout...)

  On the master page, change the margins to be the size you want the new text frame dimensions to be.

  If, for some strange reason, you won't use these margin settings in the layout, turn off the setting of page layout and reset them on the master page again to what you want.

• I can auto adjust all the blocks of text with overset text?

  Due to several factors (change computers, versions of different fonts, etc.), I had to change most of the fonts in my text-heavy document.

  There are a lot of charts and tables in this 125-page document, and now most of all text frames have overset text.

  The new font is in fact identical to the previous one, however, there are a few differences that are causing it take more text frames. I tried to adjust the line spacing in my character and paragraph styles, but these do not seem to effect.

  Is there a way to automatically adjust all frames in excess to account for the new font?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not sure that the result will be 100% desirable, but there is a way to define all frames to auto-size...

  Run find/replace and choose the tab object.

  Down, choose the Document research: menu. Choose the blocks of text such as: menu.

  Click the icon of glass/frame next to the search Object Format field:

  

  In the Options of Format object search dialog box, choose Auto setting 'Off' on the text size Options > menu automatic sizing:

  

  Click OK, and then click the icon / window next to the subject of change Format field:

  

  In the change object Format Options dialog box, choose 'Height' only on the text size Options framework Auto > auto-size menu, and then click the up button in the Center in the framework - pinning proxy:

  Note: Another option for pinning would be better according to your presentations, but this setting will make executives grow at the bottom, which seems the most logical... in most cases.

  

  Click OK, and then change all.

• find and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds

  Hi writer... .new question from here:

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  alert (mySelection);

  throughout the document, I need search and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds.

  If possible, the same dimensions, but not the same positions.

  Thanks for the help!

  OK Bala... .in to decimal differences, some executives have not been removed.

  I solved with "Math.round' instead of 'number '.

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

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  var myWidth = Math.round(mySelection[3]-mySelection[1]);

  var myHeight = Math.round(mySelection[2]-mySelection[0]); Alert (myHeight);

  var allFrames = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

  While (t = allFrames.pop ()) {}

  {if (t.IsValid)}

  var myTextframe = t.geometricBounds;

  var myTWidth = Math.round(myTextframe[3]-myTextframe[1]);

  var myTHeight = Math.round(myTextframe[2]-myTextframe[0]);

  If ((myWidth == myTWidth) & (myHeight == myTHeight)) {}

  t.Remove ();

  }

  }

  }

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

  Now, your script works great!

  Thank you very much!

• by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

  I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

  the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

  If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  var numTextFrames = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

  textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

  var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

  var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

  for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

  {

  currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

  If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

  {

  for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

  textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

  textArtRange.selected = true;

  }

  }

  }

  can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

  Thank you

  Duane

  Try this:

  if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var numTextFrames = 0;
      for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
          try {
          textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
          textArtRange.selected = true;
          } catch (e) {}

• Add points to the block of text, possible?

  Is it possible to add a point to a block of text with a script?

  Before:

  

  After:

  

  Sure. A text block is a geometric shape than any other; in InDesign, it is just a rectangle.

  All geometric shapes in InDesign consist of one or more paths - all have a property "paths" as a table. Each path contains a pathPoints array and is what you would use to add a corner.

  Because you can not really sure what is the lower right corner, this script does not immediately change the pathPoints. Rather, it copies the path, trying to find the corner (not sure if it is 'the way'), adds two points after that and these points moves to the Insert.

  myRect = app.selection[0];
  myPath = myRect.paths[0];
  myPathPoints = myPath.entirePath;
  // Determine lower right -- not sure if it's always the same!
  corner = 0;
  for (a=1; a myPathPoints[corner][0])
    corner = a;
   if (myPathPoints[a][1] > myPathPoints[corner][1])
    corner = a;
  }
  // Add two point 'after' corner
  // Use old corner point as model
  p1 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
  p2 = [myPathPoints[corner][0], myPathPoints[corner][1]];
  myPathPoints.splice (corner+1,0, p1, p2);
  // Move x of original corner point
  myPathPoints[corner][0] -= 5;
  // Move x and y of new angle point
  p1[0] -= 5;
  p1[1] -= 5;
  // Move y of back-to-frame point
  p2[1] -= 5;
  // Put modified path back into object
  myPath.entirePath = myPathPoints;
  

• Deleting all the blocks of text hidden unexpectedly removes blocks of text embedded (but visible). Why?

  I try to use the code below to remove all the blocks of text hidden in a document. It is works quite well, BUT for some reason, removes the visible anchor text blocks.

  (the argument currentTextFrame.length is to prevent it remove hidden text blocks if the content is threaded, in which case the text is redéroule then in blocks of text that is visible.) I need to find a solution to this, but it's tomorrow problem.)
  

  I have a similar function to allGraphics and does not remove the anchored frames.

  Can someone point me in the right direction? I can add a check to see if the text block is anchored, but I fear that I might get bored the biggest problem.

  var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
  var myTextFrames = myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers.reverse();
  var myTextFramesLength = myTextFrames.length;
  for ( i = 0; i < myTextFramesLength; i++ ){
       var currentTextFrame = myTextFrames[i];
       if ((!currentTextFrame.visable) && (currentTextFrame.length ===1)){
            currentTextFrame[0].remove();
       }
  }

  Hi Naomi,

  and there is an array of arrays with:

  myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers
  

  Try this:

  var a = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textContainers;
  for(var n=0;n
  I suggest the following, which should work:
  var doc = app.documents[0];
  var myStoriesArray = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
  var storiesLength = myStoriesArray.length;
  
  var textContainersToRemoveIDs = [];

• Heights of game for all the blocks of text in a document

  Looking to do something seemingly simple. I want all the blocks of text in my document to the same height.

  Here's where I am.

  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem () .height = "2.3195 in."

  Note: I work in InDesign CS5.

  Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

  Or, in the CS6 and later*:

  var NEW_HEIGHT = '2.3195 in';
  
  // MULTIPLE RESIZE() IN ONE STEP
  // =============================
  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().resize(
  
      // Target bounding box(es) -- Use OUTER_STROKE_BOUNDS if needed
      // ---
      [CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS],
  
      // Reference point -- Here resize is performed relative to the top edge
      // ---
      AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,
  
      // Absolute replacement
      // ---
      ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,
  
      // [width, height] in points
      // ---
      [ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_VALUE, +UnitValue(NEW_HEIGHT).as('pt')]
      );
  

  * Can operate CS5. x too, but I think remember that CS4 has a bug where resize() is a plural specifier whose receptors belong to several blocks spread.

• Select all blocks of text related

  Dear all,

  My request:

  1. is it possible to select all the text frames linked to my block of text by selecting (see attachment)

  2 suppose that if we choose all the blocks of text, it is possible to set the height for all blocks of text such as 3 p or 4 p etc...

  Try the script to select all the linked text frames:

  If (app.selection [0] .nextTextFrame == null)

  {

  If (app.selection [0] .previousTextFrame! = null)

  {

  Alert ("Pass")

  App.Select (previousTextFrame.parent) & & app.select (nextTextFrame.parent) & & app.select (startTextFrame.parent)

  }

  }

  

  Could someone give you a solution for my application.

  Thanks in advance

  Beginner

  If you want to do is make managers of related related texts have all the same height, here's a way to do it:

  If (app.selection.length == 0) {}

  Alert ("Please select a textFrame before running this script");

  Exit();

  }

  mySelection var = app.selection [0];

  If (!) mySelection instanceof TextFrame))) {}

  Alert ("Please select a TextFrame before running this script");

  Exit();

  }

  var mySelection.parentStory = monarticle;

  var myFrames = myStory.textContainers;

  var nFrames = myFrames.length;

  for (ix var = 0; ix)< nframes;="" ix++)="">

  var myFrame = myFrames [ix];

  var limit = myFrame.geometricBounds;

  delimits [2] = limits [0] + 4;          Set the TextFrame 4 height units

  myFrame.geometricBounds = limit;

  }
