I have manipulated this script, which I found from this forum, to my purposes. tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" tell document 1 set theBody to paragraph style "Body" set theHead to paragraph style "Head" tell text frame 1 tell parent story repeat while (get character -1) = return delete character -1 end repeat set applied paragraph style of paragraphs to theBody set applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 to theHead set theOffset to offset of paragraph 2 end tell set startTrack to -1 set endTrack to -20 repeat while (get overflows) is true set tracking of parent story to startTrack set startTrack to startTrack - 1 if startTrack = endTrack then exit repeat end if end repeat set startSize to 11 set endSize to 8 repeat while (get overflows) is true set point size of text from character theOffset to character -1 of parent story to startSize set startSize to startSize - 0.25 if startSize = endSize then exit repeat end if end repeat end tell end tell end tell I would like to paste text from clipboard to existing frame in my document. I can do this if I first manually select my text frame by putting insertion point with text tool, but I like to know if this is possible to do automatically through AppleScript? Now this script pastes new frame to my document... Another thing, I got error message: InDesign 2.0.1 got an error: Can't make paragraph 2 of parent story of text frame 1 of document 1 into a text. on line: set theOffset to offset of paragraph 2 What might be wrong?
