Hi Genius,

Entirely new to this concept. Below is the process doing by manually.

1. Select the Math type equation that is already imported in Indesign

2. Open the equation by "Edit with" & "Text Wrangler"

find the below screenshot "Baseline: 13"

3. Apply that value negatively in the anchor object.

How can this should be automate. Any help appreciated.

Regards

Siraj

Correct answer Harbs.

Something like this:

var fp = app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath;

var f = File(fp);

f.open('r');

var fs = f.read();

f.close();

var baseline = fs.match(/%%Baseline\s+(\S+)/)[1];

app.selection[0].anchoredObjectSettings.anchorYoffset = -Number(baseline);

    Hi Siraj,

    Harbs solution working perfect, just replace the below line,

    var baseline = fs.match(/%%Baseline:\s+(\S+)/)[1];//colon missing
