Question

Last text block not displaying correctly after XML import.

Hi,

I have an .indd template (CS6) and script which imports XML and flows it into as many pages as it requires.

Occassionaly on the last page, the text doesn't display although it is all there and formatted correctly. Going in and out of preview mode doesn't change it.

If I click on the out port or resize the text box slightly, it displays and is fine from then on.

Any suggestions as to fixing it?

As always, many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Cheers,

Simon.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for that. I get 'story is undefined' - how do I defined the story (autoflowed text)?

Sorry for the newbie question - vascilating between various projects at the moment.

Cheers,

Simon.

You need a reference to the auto-flowed story. I don't know how that line should fit into the rest of your script. If you don't either, try:

app.activeDocument.recompose();

somewhere after the xml import.
