Dave,
I did speak to quick. It was hilighting a frame but it was hilighted whether it was overset are not. I tried your last solution but now I get Object is invalid on that new line. Here is the code as I pieced it together. It is also missing a closing bracket which I'm not sure where to insert it.
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
try {
myName = myDoc.name;
} catch (e) {
alert("Got an error: " + e);
exit();
}
alert("The active document is named: " + myName)
if (app.documents.length == 0) {
alert("There are no open documents.");
exit();
}
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myOsetList = myDoc.stories.everyItem().overflows;
for (j = 0; myOsetList.length > j; j++); {
if (myOsetList) {
// j-th story is overset; tell the user and exit
selectIt(myDoc.stories[j].textFrames[-1]);
exit();
}
alert("No stories are overset");
function selectIt(theObj) {
// Selects object, turns to page and zooms in on it
app.select(theObj,SelectionOptions.replaceWith);
app.activeWindow.zoom = ZoomOptions.fitPage;
app.activeWindow.zoomPercentage = 200
}
