Hi,
I wonder whether this can be done with scripting: I want the script to wait for the user to make a selection of an object. I have a message saying "Please select a TextFrame", the user then clicks OK and is supposed to click a textframe. If is something else than a textframe, the message comes up again.
I don't have an idea how to do this loop.
Thanks

Stefan
