Hello all,

I have a doubt.

I have 5 different texframes with some text on it.

How to alert the stories one by one using java script?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @John_devs ,

how about using a Story Editor window?

Select the frames and just hit Cmd + y (Mac) or Ctrl + y (Windows) on the keyboard.

You would be able to see overset text as well.
