We have come to another wall in our scripting of InDesign CS. How do you go about creating a script that edits the text without having to label the text box first? How would you set up the variable for this? We are using InDesign CS on Panther. As it stands now, we have 7 text boxes on the document, none of them labeled. In order for the script to work, we have to specify in the script story 1 or text box 1. We want it to script the text box that we have selected. Hope that makes sense. Thank you in advance.
