Question

Can't textWrapOffer be written in myObjStyle.textWrapPreferences-propelity?

Hello everyone.

I want to group scattered attributes together.

Can I only write like this:

textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [2, 2, 5, 5];

But can't it be like this? The one below seems invalid:

myObjStyle.textWrapPreferences.properties = {
textWrapMode: TextWrapModes.BOUNDING_BOX_TEXT_WRAP,
textWrapOffset: [2, 2, 5, 5],
}

    Hi ​@dublove,

     

    Thanks for reporting this. As Peter mentioned, I'm checking this behavior with our product team to confirm whether it's a known bug or expected behavior. I'll keep this thread updated as soon as I have more information.

     

    Thanks for your patience!

    Abhishek

    This is an ancient InDesign bug. Your sample is correct, but it just doesn’t work. You’ll have to set the wrap offset separately.
