Hi Masood,

1. I’m affraid, I don’t understend your previous post about centering inline grapgics. Would you eplain it more precise ?
2. try this code to process all the inline graphics in all the texts in active document:

if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {

var mySelections = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().texts[0].splineItems.everyItem().getElements(); // this is an array of anchored items of the story in seleccted textFrame

alert ( “There are/is ” + mySelections.length + ‘ anchored elements in the document.’ );

main( mySelections );

}

function main( sel ){
var i = sel.length;
while ( i– ) {
try { var myObject = sel[i];
myObject.fit(FitOptions.contentToFrame);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.proportionally);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.centerContent);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
} catch ( err ) {}
}
}

best regards
r.

Hello again :)

try this little work snippet of code. I hope I’ve undersood your idea :)
I’ve changed a little your code in case of potential errors and/or further actions ( e.g. deleting anchored elements )

if ( !app.selection[0] || app.selection[0].constructor.name != ‘TextFrame’ ) { alert ( ‘There is no TEXT FRAME selected !Select a textFrame contaning text please :)’); exit() }
var mySelections = app.selection[0].parentStory.splineItems.everyItem().getElements(); // this is an array of anchored items of the story in seleccted textFrame

alert ( “There are/is ” + mySelections.length + ‘ anchored elements in the frame.’ );

main();

function main(){
var sel = mySelections, i = sel.length;
while ( i– ) {
var myObject = sel[i];
myObject.fit(FitOptions.contentToFrame);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.proportionally);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.centerContent);
myObject.fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
}
}

Hello again Rick,

there is a modified and improoved, more elegant version of the script :-)

I hope it will work fine for you …

The changes are:
1. script returns only styles if they have baseOn style
2. if there are no baseOn styles in character styles, script opens only one paged document
3. I put the original numbers of the styles in source document

If you will have still problems with the script write your e-mail, so I will send you a file.

regards
m.

if ( !app.documents.length ) { alert ( “Open document, please !” ); exit(); }

var ps = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles, cs = app.activeDocument.allCharacterStyles, parstyles = [], charstyles = [];

}
function addSubTitleStyle ( ) {
doc.paragraphStyles.add( { name : “SubTitle”, fontStyle : “Bold”, pointSize : 14, fillTint : 50 } );
}

my solution is in fact not as elegant as it could be, but my goal was to give you a quick solution. I very happy it help you :)

Hmmmmm,
I’ve tried this script on a few different documents and it works !

try to exchange sigle quotes to double quotes – I use single but it is not exactly correct :)

do you use it om mac or pc?

Hi Rick,

try this:

#target indesign-14

var ps = app.activeDocument.allParagraphStyles, cs = app.activeDocument.allCharacterStyles, parstyles = [], charstyles = [];

processStyles ( ps, 2, parstyles );
processStyles ( cs, 1, charstyles );

var doc = app.documents.add( { pages : 2 } );
doc.pages[0].textFrames.add( { geometricBounds : [ ‘0mm’,’0mm’,’150mm’,’150mm’ ] } ).contents = ‘Paragraph styles: ‘ + parstyles.join( ”);
doc.pages[1].textFrames.add( { geometricBounds : [ ‘0mm’,’0mm’,’150mm’,’150mm’ ] } ).contents = ‘Character styles: ‘ + charstyles.join( ”);

function processStyles ( s, x, a ) {
for ( var i = x; i < s.length; i++ ) {
var bs = s[i].basedOn.name;
a.push( s[i].name + ‘ ——— ‘ + bs );
}
}

Just open your template and run the script from ExtendScript Toolkit
It is very simple solution that produces two lists in two frames in new document.

I hope it will help you :)
