Hello,
I am wondering if I can create a new boolean object in InDesign that I can use in a script I am working on. What I am doing is selecting some text and then manipulating other aspects of the selection's paragraph. I want to be able to determine if certain characters are selected, so the new boolean object would be, let's say "selected." If a character within the paragraph is selected, it's value would be "true," while other characters in the paragraph that are not selected would remain "false." Is this possible? I am also thinking that I could use an already existing boolean value, such as strikeThrough and then turn it off at the end of the script. But this is not elegant if the text were to REALLY need strikeThrough (not very likely, but just sayin'). Thanks for any advice.
Regards,
Len Swierski
