newbie: is there a script to randomly adjust size of words in a text area?

Here's a little Javascript which should work in most instances. You need to select the text frame and then run the script.

if (app.selection.length == 1) { //tests to see that you have selected one page item

if (app.selection[0].constructor == TextFrame) { //ensures you have selected a text frame

var wrds = app.selection[0].words;

for (i=wrds.length-1;i>=0;i--) { // loops through words in frame

wrds.characterAttributes.size = Math.floor((Math.random()*19)+6); //adjusts point size of words

}

}

}

The minimum word size is the 6 in the fifth line and the maximum should be 24 (19-1+6).

Cheers,
