Insertion texte en extendScript

[Thierry Poulet]

Hello,

I am looking for an extendScript syntax for Indesign that can insert the text "PageHeader" in a paragraph of each page. My document is long and all the blocks are linked. The purpose is to transform them into ID for an index match via a VBA under word. I usually place this text one by one. This syntax would make my job easier. If anyone can help me. Thank you

Hi @Thierry Poulet,

Some questions

• How to identify the paragraph in which this text is to be inserted?
• At what position in the paragraph is the insertion to be made?

Hello Manan and thank you for your help,

Mon texte doit-être positionné n'importe où dans le premier paragraphe du bloc. Ce texte va être transformé en <span class="index" href="#index_0xxx"></span> donc invisible.

The following snippet will add the text at the start of the first paragraph. To run it select the textframe in which you want to add the text

var tf = app.selection[0]
tf.paragraphs[0].insertionPoints[0].contents = "PageHeader "

To change the position of insertion you can change the index of the insertionPoints collection.

Super !

Merci beaucoup pour ton aide. Je vais tenter avec ça de faire une boucle afin d'automatiser la procédure.

Je t'envoie le résultat dès que j'aurais fini.

Encore merci

Amicalement
