How do I resize 750 text frames created by flowing text to 750 pages?

Question

I have a 750 page document containing text frames that are about 4.5" wide by 7" high. To create the 750 text frames, I pasted text into a single text frame at the beginning of the document and it flowed to 750 pages.

My text frames are too close to the edge of the page and I need to lower the top of each frame about 1/8".

Hoping there's a way to resize all text frames at once.

Thanks so much.

Script panel > Samples > JavaScript > AdjustPageItems.jsxOr better, if all your frames edges touch the margins, then go to File > Adjust Layout...

Hi @DavidCharl ,another solution, without using a script, is to move all the pages without their contents a bit up, 1/8", using the Page tool. Important: You should be on the first spread of your document and you need the Control panel at hand.[1] Switch your current tool to the Page tool.[2] Use the keyboard shortcut for "Select All". Ctrl + A or Cmd + A.All document pages are now selected.[3] Control panel:Make sure that the option to move the contents of pages along with the pages is not checked.That should be the case by default.[4] Control panel:Type -1/8" into the input field for the y-direction.
