This type of scripting problem are the most annoying to me as I know the answer is just there. Hidden from the scripter.   In the C++ SDK you can call QueryCellOverrides which returns all the overrides in one nice simple call.  You would have thought it would have been exposed to the scripting world, its been there since the beggining of time. ...

Unfortunatley I do not understand the text / language, so I can not tell if the founds are correct.   The search does return a list of affected texts. This list is probably a hint to the composer that it is allowed to draw the alternatives. So, not all of the founds are relevent, because they have not been drawn in the 'special way'.   P. ...

Hello,   Currently I am using a script.  app.findTextPreferences.otfJustificationAlternate   The bad news is that I now suspect the composer is creating these pairings on the fly. If I am right, this will not be detectable by a script. A plugin should be able to detect this behaviour, but it is not a trivial task.   I list the script here, it expects a swatch called green. //============= app.findTextPreferences = null; app.findTextPreferences.otfJustificationAlternate = true;   var found = app.activeDocument.findText (); //for ( var j = 0; j < found.length; j++ ) found[1].fillColor = "green"; //=======   You might fnd the wrongs are less than the rights, which might make it easier to highlight the text you want to see.   P. ...

Hello, Where do you set 'Justification Alternate (Naskh) ' Would you have a sample document that I could look at. P.   Edited to say: This looks like it is an attribute added to the text. It would be possible to detect the attribute and highlight from an PlugIn. Or, even better, if the attribute is a style override you could switch on style override highlighter. ... View more
