3 frames around my image

Hello,

Since updating InDesign, I now get 3 frame boxes around an image whereas I use to get only 2 – It’s really annoying and I can’t turn it off.

Anyone know what’s causing this and how to turn it off, please?  I want to go back 2 frames.

Many thanks.

This should do the same:

var sel=app.activeDocument.selection[0];
var itms = sel.allPageItems;
if (itms.length ==2) {
    app.select(itms[0]);
    app.copy();
    sel.remove();
    app.pasteInPlace();
}else{
    alert("Please Select The Outside Frame");
}

Beautiful. It works instantly! I was wondering if line 4 is spelled itms or items?

Thanks for building this for the OP, Rob!

Hi Michael,

it's itms, because itms is a variable name Rob set in line 2.

Regards,
Uwe
