> Meaning previousTextFrame and nextTextFrame, both can be used for threading. Its a matter of choice.   Yes. A.nextTextFrame = B and B.previousTextFrame = Aare equivalent. Which one you choose to use depends on the circumstances.   > Can I place the text in last index first and then  come to index 0? I tried that and it did not work.    I'm not sure what you mean here or what you're after. When you thread several frames you end up with one story. So even if you then place som text in the last frame, it will end up in the first frame, which has the beginning of the story.   > Actually I am trying to polish indesign programming skills and I have decided to start with textFrame object.   Excellent choice!   myFrames = myDoc.textFrames; This creates a collection. And    myFrames = myDoc.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();   creates an array. The difference is significant. Arrays process much more quickly than collections. But sometimes using a collection is more convenient. Marc Autret wrote up the technical details here: https://www.indiscripts.com/post/2010/06/on-everyitem-part-1   P.   ... View more

> This is what I meant by "round trip enabled"   Aha, ok. What you mean is 'return link'. The term roundtripping is used e.g. when you export a document to IDML, fix something there, and import the IDML. Then you say you roundtripped via IDML.   That was the simple bit. Now the other problem.   >  I got the "text anchor not found" when exporting.   This is a terrible bug in InDesign. I wouldn't have expected it here. When you once generate a TOC with a script, then when you create the TOC with 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' enabled, they aren't so that you get the error you saw when you export to PDF. But in these documents the TOC was never created with a script (as far as I remember, anyway) so it's not really clear to me what's going on.   But even if you wouldn't have seen the error, these endnotes are a problem when exported to Epub (or PDF). The problem is that the real endnotes arestill in the chapters, on a non-printing layer. So there is no relation between the 'endnotes' in the back and the note references in the text.   Adding hyperlinks to navigate back and forth between notes and their references is problematic. In the text, the references are already hyperlinked by InDesign, they point to the notes in the chapter, but because they're on a non-printing layer those links appear dead in the Epub. So you can't add a link. And for some reason you can't create hyperlinks in the notes in the back of the book, maybe because you can't do that in general in TOC entries (which those notes really are). Export to PDF is much better, not only because you can do notes as pop-ups.   So on balance, if you want to export to Epub and if you want two-way links between notes and the references, the script on github should be your starting point. With that one it should be possible to add the links. ... View more

Here's a script I use to break a story on instances of a paragraph style. It assumes that the paragraph is set to start on the next page or frame.   To use it, place the cursor in the paragraph style (the one applied to 'New Articles' in your sample) and run the script. As always, keep a copy of the document in a safe place.   //DESCRIPTION: Split a story on the selected paragraph style (function () { var styleName = app.selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name; var story = app.selection[0].parentStory; var p = story.paragraphs.everyItem().getElements(); var frame; for (var i = p.length-1; i >= 1; i--) { if (p[i].appliedParagraphStyle.name === styleName) { frame = p[i].parentTextFrames[0]; frame.previousTextFrame = null; story.insertionPoints.itemByRange (p[i].index, story.length) .move (LocationOptions.AFTER, frame.insertionPoints[0]); } } }()); ...
