Script needed to remove text wraps

[tomsch64]

Hi,

converted a Quark document with lots of anchored textboxes/image boxes - they all have a text wrap of 0p1. Couldn't find a script that removes all wraps globally in a document. Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Hi Tom

This should do it

var pi = app.documents[0].allPageItems;
var l = pi.length;
while (l--) pi.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset = [0,0,0,0]

Trevor, I'd suggest to set the wrap mode to None. Your script still leaves a wrap applied.

var pi = app.documents[0].allPageItems;
var l = pi.length;
while (l--) pi.textWrapPreferences.textWrapMode = TextWrapModes.NONE;

Yes, Jongware your quite right, I had thought of that but it was very late and for some compleatly wrong reason I didn't write it.

Also with TextWrapModes.NONE the values are retained and can be reapplied if desired.

Tom, you should mark Jongware's answer as correct and you can give me a helpful

Thanks for your suggestions - I'm a complete newbie in regards to scripting.

So would I copy the script into a text editor and then save it as what? (what extension).

And then put it in the apple or java script folder?

Thanks!

First copy the script onto any plain text editor or the ESTK and save it with a .jsx extension

Then follow the instruction on Kasyans Link

Henryk Jursz has a script on his website called qxdcleaner1.4.jsx - that cleans a whole load of stuff from an old quark conversion. His site is in Polish (Dzien Dobry, jak sie masz?) but google translate the page if need be.
