I found a previous post that is helping me with this.
// Paragraph inside of table.
var oPgf = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0];
// Make sure the paragraph is inside a table
if (oPgf.parent.constructor.name === "Cell") {
var oCell = oPgf.parent;
var oTbl = oCell.parent;
// Get the paragraph containing the table anchor.
var oPgf2 = oTbl.storyOffset.paragraphs[0];
// Loop from the table anchor to the top of the story.
while (oPgf2) {
$.writeln(oPgf2.constructor.name);
oPgf2 = oPgf2.parentStory.paragraphs.previousItem(oPgf2);
}
}
This basically works, except this line gives an "Object is invalid" error when it gets to the beginning of the story:
oPgf2 = oPgf2.parentStory.paragraphs.previousItem(oPgf2);
I can use a try statement, but I am wondering why the loop doesn't exit gracefully without an error. Thanks.
