Is the Area Type Option "Inset Spacing" Scriptable?

[aklyman]

I can't find any reference to this option in any documentation, but does it exist?

Thanks,
Alex

// Select a TextFrame and run:

app.selection[0].spacing = 10;

Oh muppet me… One of those occasions DRTFM… I saw that and didn't put it to the test… The OMV is wrong it should read (area text only)

TextFrameItem.spacing  

Data Type: number

Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library

The amount of spacing (path text only)

Thanks all for looking at this. I saw this in resources, ignored it for the same reason Mark did. Didn't test it... wish I had. Works pretty easily... surprise surprise
