var imgName = "img1.tif";

myTable.columns[0].cells[0].contents = "Figure Name: " + imgName;

 

In the above code, I need to apply Bold to  "Figure Name: " alone.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi @Karthik SG , Try this—it assumes the font has a "Bold" fontStyle

 

 

 

var imgName = "img1.tif";
var myTable = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0];
myTable.columns[0].cells[0].contents = "Figure Name: " + imgName;
myTable.columns[0].cells[0].words.itemByRange(0,1).fontStyle = "Bold"
