Hello, I'm using template with 2 or 3 column textframe. I'm trying to make a script that avoid hyphen at end of column. Getting the last pgf of a column, getting the end of line type is not a problem (Constants.FTI_LineEnd). To check if a pgf is on both column, i'm looping through my pgf to find when the textrange, i'm using, change of column. I can only get the Id Column from the start of the pgf (pgf.InTextObj.Unique - InTextObj is a SubCol). Is there a way to know on which column my textrange is? var vCurrentDoc=app.ActiveDoc; // go to last pgf of column var pgf = vCurrentDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstSubCol.LastPgf; // select the pgf var textRange = new TextRange();      textRange.beg.obj = pgf;      textRange.beg.offset = 0;      textRange.end.obj = pgf;      textRange.end.offset = Constants.FTI_LineEnd; var textItems = vCurrentDoc.GetTextForRange(textRange, Constants.FTI_String); if(textItems.length > 0){     vCurrentDoc.TextSelection = textRange;      var vLineEnd = pgf.GetText(Constants.FTI_LineEnd);      var vOriginalLine = vLineEnd.len;      var CheckRange = new TextRange();      var vCheck = 0;      // to get the Id column of the pgf      var vColNum = pgf.InTextObj.Unique;      // no need to check last end of line = end of pgf => vOriginalLine-1      while (vCheck < vOriginalLine-1) {           CheckRange.beg.obj = pgf;           CheckRange.beg.offset = (vLineEnd[vCheck].offset)-1;           CheckRange.end.obj = pgf;           CheckRange.end.offset = vLineEnd[vCheck].offset;           vCurrentDoc.TextSelection = CheckRange; // HERE is WHEREI'M STUCK           var vColNumTR = ?????????; // check fi column change           if (vColNum != vColNumTR){                // process           }           vCheck = vCheck +1;      }      vCurrentDoc.TextSelection = textRange; } ....

Hello, When opening XML in FM, sometimes, FM can't apply correctly the EDD to my document. Example on a book of 1.500 pages there can be around 20 superscript text that are display as normal normal text. The only way i found is to forced FM to apply the EDD correctly by forcing him with Searching&replacing the <sup> element. Or faster, replace the HighestLevelElement on each chapter (element call <CHAPTER>) Would like to do it with a script (so i can add it to my open book script ... there are around 10 script at the opening of a book I can select all the doc, get the HighestLevelElement name, can delete it or warp an element around it but can't replace the element by it self? var vCurrentDoc= app.ActiveDoc; var vFlow = vCurrentDoc.MainFlowInDoc; var vPgf = vFlow.LastTextFrameInFlow; var vFirstPgf = vFlow.FirstTextFrameInFlow; var textRange = new TextRange();         textRange.beg.obj = vFirstPgf;         textRange.beg.offset = 0;         textRange.end.obj = vPgf;         textRange.end.offset = Constants.FTI_PgfEnd;         vCurrentDoc.TextSelection = textRange; var vElement = vFlow.HighestLevelElement; var vElemDef = vElement.ElementDef; var vReplaceElem = vCurrentDoc.GetNamedElementDef(vElemDef.Name); // vReplaceElem.Delete() or WarpElement(); So how to eaplce an existing element by itself? ...

Hello, I usually work with structured FM doc, but for once i need to work with unstructured doc. I need to make a script that check if there is only few chararter at the last line of a paragraph, and if yes, to apply a "spread -2%". and check if i lost one line. I was thinking, if i can compare the number of line of a paragraph before and after the "spread -2%" and if it's "after" is smaller than "before". If yes => i lost one line in my paragraph. In million paragaph, i can win few pages in my doc (doc large than 1.000 pages) I already have script to walkthrouth all the paragraph of a doc, another to apply and/or check paragraph values (spread). But how can i count the number of line in one paragraph? Do i have to put my cursor in each line of my paragraph and check the FTI_LineEnd (normal, hard, hyphen) to know when i reach the end of my paragraph? Or there is another way? ... View more

Hello, In a Structured book, i need to get on attribute valus (on the highest element) but ... In a FM document, i can get value from an element by looping through all my document by "wraping" the element text and get the attributes (using : element.TextRange.beg/end). But in a structured book, i can't wrap the "element text" because it's not text, so how can i get the value of my highest element? ... View more
