Hi. I have a document with several pages in it. Each page has several text frames and rectangles on it.
What I would like to do is select a text frame (or rectangle, but not both at the same time) on a page, then run a VB script that shows a message box telling me the contents of the Label associated with that text frame (or rectangle).
Does anyone have any code that does something similar? I've tried, but can't seem to get my head around it.
Regards,
Dennis
