Hi,

I want to add the script label name in Masterpages only which was in 'Text thread' options. Is this possible by script?

This is my code

var myTextFrame=app.selection[0];


myTextFrame.label="textpage";


var myNextFrame=myTextFrame.nextTextFrame;


while(myNextFrame !=null)


{


    myNextFrame.label="textpage";


    myNextFrame=myNextFrame.nextTextFrame;


    


}






Instead of first line I want to create this script label "textpage" for master page 'text thread' text frame only

Instead of first line I want to create this script label "textpage" for master page 'text thread' text frame only. How to change my script pls help me?

Hi Hasvi,

Try this.

var doc = app.activeDocument;


var mspreads = doc.masterSpreads;




for(var i =0;i<mspreads.length;i++)


{


        if(mspreads.textFrames.length>1)


        {


                var txfmlength = mspreads.textFrames;


                for(var j=0;j<txfmlength.length;j++)


                {


                        if(txfmlength.nextTextFrame != null)


                        {


                            txfmlength.label="textpage";  


                            }


                        if(txfmlength.previousTextFrame !=null)


                        {


                                txfmlength.label="textpage";  


                            }


                    }


            }


    }

@hasvi – I don't know if I understand you right. Do you want to label every text frame of a story with the same label value? As a starting point you want to work with a selected text frame of that story?

If yes, select a text frame, could be any, and run that snippet:

var textContainersOfStoryArray = app.selection[0].parentStory.textContainers;




for(var n=0;n<textContainersOfStoryArray.length;n++){


    textContainersOfStoryArray.label = "textpage";


    };

Or do you mean you want to label the primaryTextFrame of the applied master spread, if you selected something on a "normal" page?

That would be:

//Object selected on "normal" page:


var myPrimeryTextFrame = app.selection[0].parentPage.appliedMaster.primaryTextFrame;


myPrimeryTextFrame.label = "textpage";
