Selectively Overrides Masters Text Frame

[Jean-Claude Tremblay]

I have tow scenario where it would be useful to be able to run a script that will overrides only some masters text frame and not the rest of the masters object.

Here the two case:

1) When I use a Numbered List in a master to add numerotation to every pages or n-numbres of pages.

2) When some master have text frame that should be use in Table of Content

Now what is the easiest way to script that? At first I was thinking a script when run can ask a specific paragraph style and overrides all text frame containing them. But I think it would be more easy to just add a Script Label to the masters frame when created, and than a script when run will locate and overrides all text frame with that label. Possible?

So what is the best approach to create such a script? Any hints?

Thanks

Jean-Claude

Hi Jean,

I am always use the Script Label to identify the master objects in pages. So its better to use the Script Lable is best I feel.

FWIW, I prefer object names (via the layers panel) to script labels, but both work (more or less) equally well.

Yes, no silly workarounds needed for searching by script label.
