Textframe merge or grouping
Hi All,
First real stab at indesign scripting to set up some packaging artwork.
for component information on the box I am creating a textframe with all the various bits of info in there, ingredients etc. ince i have done this i create another 2 textframes each with an image in that tags onto the end of the weight line.
Now that i have these 3 textboxes on the page (i had multiple versions of these three) my script continues to work out where best to place this one the artwork based on available space and moves it with .geometricBounds. My problem is that I can't find a good way to group these 3 textframes and then relocate them to the new position.
is there a way of grouping or merging these 3 frames so that I can perform one command to move all 3?

Find/Change By List help
Hi all,
New to scripts here using InDesign CS6.
I need some help on how to set up the find/change by list script in InDesign. I searched the forums but I don't quite grasp if I need my list saved as a .txt file or something else and where to save the list.
I have a list of about 50 words (text only) (and growing) I'd like to simply find these words in my document, but not change them to anything as I need to rewrite the content to fit.
I'm hoping there is a find next of some sort with this script so I can search the entire set of terms in one shot. (I played with the Multi/Find change script (http://automatication.com/) but it looks like that requires me to "change all" rather than find all)
When I run the script in indesign it asks me to select a file to pull from. I currently have my list of text setup in a .txt file. (But not knowing code, I'm wondering if I need to save this text file differently or code it so the find/changebylist script can pull from this file)
Could someone point me in the right direction, or let me know if this is the correct script to use and how to use it?
I noticed in my script panel the find/change support folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Scripts\ mentioned on this site is missing from my folder.)

Thanks for your help. Hopefully I get the hang of this soon.

Installed font is not available
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to create a paragraph style with a custom font (Helvetica Neue LT Std). I've installed the font in my Windows 8.1 and I can use it in InDesign 9.0.
My code sample:
myDocument.paragraphStyles.add({name:"name", pointSize:48, fillColor: "color", justification: VerticalJustification.centerAlign, appliedFont: app.fonts.itemByName("Helvetica Neue LT Std")});
I'm typing several names and other ways (itemByName) to get the installed font, but i receive the same error: "the request font family is not available".
Hope you help me!
Thanks in advance.
PS scanning the available fonts i got the attached image
var myApplicationFonts = app.fonts;
var myFontNames = myApplicationFonts.everyItem().name;
for(var myCounter = 0;myCounter<myFontNames.length; myCounter++){ alert(myFontNames[myCounter]);

Can I turn on or off data merge preview with script(any)?
I can not find a way to access the data merge preview option. I would assume it is under DataMergePreference, the same place I can control the record number to merge with. But I can not find any thing. Please help if you can. Or is there an event that I can capture when it is turned off or on by the user? I might be able to make that work. My preference would be to turn it on and off by script.

It is scriptable to unthread paragraphs [or lists] to obtain single text frames?
The method I use is to break a story in many pages, splitting a text frame through the menu «Keep options» + «Start paragraph» in next page, and later apply a script that unthread the whole text. But it involves a lot of time and work not to mention to have the unthreaded stories isolated in dozens of pages.
But my known scripts to thread/unthread text perhaps only manage frames and never paragraphs.
The idea is to convert this kind of paragraph/lists in four single stories

Creating XML structure via tags with ExtendScript Toolkit
I'm using InDesign CS6 and I'm trying to build my first Javascript within InDesign. I want to be able to create an entire XML structure whenever someone tags a frame. Ideally, it would work something like this: When text frame.tagged(record/item/@name="copy"), create Structure. I'm reading through a few books and trying to wr4ap my head around how InDesign scripting works, but I haven't been able to translate the examples into this thing I need to do. I appreciate any help. Thank you - Nathan

Need InDesign to save preview images from spreads
Hi, I need to know if it is possible to get InDesign to save facing pages previews when saving, instead of single pages. I need to see the whole spread in Bridge. Until CS4 InDesign always saved the preview images as spreads. Since CS5 the behavior changed for no reason. I do a lot of catalogues and really need to see both pages. Each spread is a separate file so my colleagues and I can work simultaneously on the same catalogue.
Does anyone know if that is possible in any way? Scripts, extensions whatever. And if its possible, can someone give me the contact to a programmer?
Thanks a lot
Steffen
