var doc, tbl, row, cell;

 

doc = app.ActiveDoc;

tbl = doc.FirstTblInDoc;

while (tbl.ObjectValid ()) {

    row = tbl.FirstRowInTbl;

    while (row.ObjectValid ()) {

        cell = row.FirstCellInRow;

        while (cell.ObjectValid ()) {

            if (cell.Overflowed === 1) {

                alert ("Cell overflowed");

            }

            cell = cell.NextCellInRow;

        }

        row = row.NextRowInTbl;

    }

    tbl = tbl.NextTblInDoc;

}

 

 

 

am using the above code from this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/finding-cell-overflow-in-table-problem-with-script/m-p/11293026?page=1#M66796

 

can anyone help to take the script to the row/cell/page where the overflow takes place?

      if (cell.Overflowed === 1) 
            {
            var tLocBeg = new TextLoc(cell.FirstPgf,0);
            var tLocEnd = new TextLoc(cell.FirstPgf,Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET);
            var tRange = new TextRange(tLocBeg,tLocEnd);
            doc.ScrollToText(tRange);

            }

    Much appriceated. Thanks a ton.

    although it stops at the first instance of the overflow. But i guess that is ok, if i work on the cell one by one, the code still works.
