Hello again everyone,
set tool mode to drag mode
select text box 2
cut
set tool mode to contents mode
set selection to insertion point before character 1 of story 1
paste
!voila! An anchored text box.
How would you do the opposite? Find a nested text box, presuming you do not
know the position? Would naming all the anchored text boxes help? How?
whose anchored equal true <-- would return true for these boxes.
But "where?"...
For my first stage, I would like to have an error appear if the selection
contains a nested box. Is there a test for selections (in contents mode) to
"have" or "not have" anchored boxes? Later, I would like to just handle the
materials.
Thanks
/Michael
