Hi,

more help needed! I am working with some text frames - some have text placed in them (and so have a link reference) and some are created on the page (i.e. with nothing 'placed' into them).

How can I search through the document, run some routine if there *is* a placed file, and skip if there isn't?

The script I have been trying to bend to my will seems to think that all frames have a 'link item' reference, even when the frames have been created fresh by typing into them.

This is a snippet:

if exists item link of story myCounter of myDocument then

etc..

Any help gratefully appreciated!

James
