Find H1 style in Top of Frame only

[BEGINNER_X]

Hi Everyone,

Request:

I want to find "H1" style in top of frame only. It is two column book.

If "H1" style comes in both the columns 1 and 2.

Problem:

Document using span columns, so the script will find all the  H1 style falls in first line of every column.

Trying script in  ways:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument

app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;

var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames.everyItem().getElements()

for(i=0; i<myTextFrame.length; i++)

{

        if(parseInt(myTextFrame.geometricBounds[3] - myTextFrame.geometricBounds[1]) == 180)

    {

    for(j=0; j<myTextFrame.textColumns.length; j++)

    {

        if(myTextFrame.textColumns.lines[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name == "H1")

        {

            alert("H1 in First line of Frame\n"+ "Contents:" + myTextFrame.textColumns.lines[0].contents + "Page number: " + myTextFrame.textColumns.lines[0].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.name)

            app.select(myTextFrame.textColumns.lines[0].parentTextFrames[0])

            exit(0)

            }

        }

    }

}

Could anyone please give solution.

Kindly check the screenshot

Thanks in advance

Hi,

A solution could be to compare .endBaseline properties.

i.e.:

myTextFrame.textColumns[0].lines[0].endBaseline ==> this could be a base for textFrame

so make the next if startement with two conditions:

- proper paraStyle

- proper endBaseline of 1st line of x textColumn (equal or "no higher then...")
