Hi everyone,

Is it possible to insert an object with specific dimension at the beginning of every line of sentences using script?

 

Thank you!

You don't need a script. Do this:

1. Place the object somewhere, doesn't matter where.

2. Copy the object to the clipboard

3. Do this GREP replacement:

Find: ^

Change to: ~c

Which reads as 'place the content of the clipboard (~c) at the first insertion point (^) of each paragraph.

This works in CC2022 and later.

In earlier versions you do:

Find: ^(.)

Change to: ~c$1

(thats the digit 1 after the dollar symbol).
