Hi,

I'd like to select all text between 2 pages.
So I can call eport to xhtml with that selection.

I tried with textFrames and adding to a selection, but got the error "cannot across spreads".

Any clue?

Thanks

solution

	var theDocument = app.activeDocument;

start = 44;
end = 55

	for (i = start; i< end; i++) 	{ 	var laPage = theDocument.pages.item(i); 	try { 	target = laPage.textFrames[0].texts; 		if (i == start) { 		app.select(target,SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH); // noter le replace 		} 	else 		{

		app.select(target,SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);// le add to ne marche que s'il y a deja une selection ......
	}
} catch(e) {$.writeln("page vide: "+i);};
}
