| Hi all,
I'm trying to create an anchored text frame in InDesign using AppleScript. I can do this manually as follows:
• Create first text frame with some text in it • Create a second, small text frame with some text in it • Copy and paste the smaller text frame midway through the text
The result is that when you edit the text in the first text frame, the second anchored text frame moves up and down accordingly.
I tried to do this via AppleScript like this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2" tell front document tell text frame 1 --make an anchored text frame at the end of the existing text make new text frame at end of contents with properties {contents:"blah"} end tell end tell end tell
...but it doesn't seem to work. I get the error:
"Adobe InDesign CS2 got an error: Can't make class text frame."
...I've tried a few alternate approaches but I can't seem to get any to work. Does anyone know how to do this? Any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks Rob
