story.overflows

[Vamitul]

Hello.

Just a quick question, if someone can test this for mpe, please.

Does story.overflows returns true if there is overset text in a table inside the story, or only if the story itself overflows?

Only if the story itself overflows.

app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().overflows

Thank you!

@Vamitul – "story.overflows" does not control cells, columns or rows of a table, that overflows.

You have to check individually for tables.
Unfortunately the Table object has no "overflows" property.

That means you have to check for individual cells, columns or rows.
