Hi Experts.

in this words collection it will include all the words in current doc plus the words in master / parent pages

words = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().words.everyItem().getElements(); //Include Master Pages

my question how to modify it to only collect words in the current document and exclude master/parent pages ? and thanks in advance

I believe you'd have to cobble the collection together looking at doc.spreads text frames and their parent stories. Or you can write something to duplicate the master spreads to a temp doc, remove them, then bring them back. Probably more of a headache though.
