I am trying to write a script that will format an entire story (headline, by line, etc.). The story always starts in the first text frame on the first page. So far, I've got two working scripts. One requires you to select all the text first. The other one formats it paragraph by paragraph (pretty slow). What I'd like to do is have the script always work with the first story on the first page. So far, after two days of trying, I haven't been able to figure out how to do work on the entire contents of a story without first manually selecting it. I know there's something real simple that I'm missing. Just can't figure out what it is.
