Hi,

Anybody here who knows how to get the parent paragraph of a selected table?

var myTable = app.selection[0];
var myStory = myTable.parent.paragraphs;

The script above gives me all the paragraphs of the parent text frame. I want to know the index of the paragraph where my selected table is.

Appreciate the help you can give. Thanks!

from VB6 ObjectBrowser (PC):

  Property StoryOffset As InsertionPoint
    read-only
    Member of InDesign.Table
    The location of the Table in the parent story.

so (VB6):

  myTable.StoryOffset.Paragraphs.Item(1)

should give you paragraph

Back in CS2 days, I think the storyOffset was an index rather than an insertion point.

you are right Dave, I hade to copy it from CS3 :(

so in VB6 it could be like this:

  myTable.Cells.Item(1). _
    Texts.Item(1). _
    ParentTextFrames.Item(1). _
    ParentStory.Characters.Item(myTable.DocumentOffset). _
    Paragraphs.Item(1)
