align text right in textframe (in script)

Hi,

(scripting)

a) How align text in textframe to the Right?

[Manan Joshi · Accepted solution]

Run the following code with a selected textframe

app.selection[0].parentStory.justification = Justification.RIGHT_ALIGN

If right justified is needed then use the following value for assignment 

Justification.RIGHT_JUSTIFIED

The different values that can be used are mentioned in the following link

Note that Manan's solution would do the alignment to every paragraph is all text frames linked to the text frame in question. If you just want to hit the paragraphs in a specific text frame, with the frame selected: 

app.selection[0].paragraphs.everyItem().justification = Justification.RIGHT_ALIGN;

Just what I needed, thank you!! I used the center align version so

MyTextBox.parentStory.justification = Justification.CENTER_ALIGN;
