How to get paragraph number of selected text in ID CS4

Hi,
Can anybody help me how to get paragraph number of selected text in Indesign cs4.
Thanks,
Gopal

Ah, I see -- thanks. Turns out that there's no difference in speed between texts.itemByRange(), characters.itemByRange(),and insertionPoints.itemByRange(). In a document with 170 pages of text, and with the cursor in the last paragraph, the second and third lines, below (and your function), give exactly the same result:
t = app.selection[0];
t.parentStory.texts.itemByRange (t.parentStory.insertionPoints[0], t).paragraphs.length;
t.parentStory.characters.itemByRange (t.parentStory.characters[0], t).paragraphs.length;

  • How to get physical number of selected row on the screen.

    Hi,
    We have block defined with Numbers of Records Displayed = 3. In the same time the data set contains 10 records. We would like to know how to get a number of row selected on the screen. i.e. in our case that the number will be always between 1 and 3 independent of the current row position in the data set.
    Best regards,
    Constantin.

    You can calculate that number by subtracting :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD and GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK', TOPMOST_RECORD)

    Hi,
    You can get the selected record to <ls_selection> structure in co phase 3.
    From that structure you can get what ever field you want.,

  • [CS5][JS] How to get paragraph number?

    Hi,
    With this thread I would like to know if anyone has experience with automatic numbering and scripting.
    If you have a title with automatic numbering applied, how do you get the number from that title using scripting?
    I can't find any property containing the current number applied. Or can't this be done?
    Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

  • How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

    I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

    Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
    If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
    Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
    When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

  • How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB ??

    Hi all,
    How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB displayed in OEM in a Java Application ???
    DMS ??? what use DMS ???
    tanks

    ok.
    Well using DMS is one way to get at these sorts of stats in a programmatic manner.
    There's a Java API you can use, or you could call out to the Spy servlet to query the DMS stats in either text or XML form.
    I don't have an MDB published so I can't show you specifiically, but here's the sort of query you can use to extract the data.
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=raw&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    Which produces a table of the TEXT form:
    <DMSDUMP version='9.0.4' timestamp='1163456821185 (Tue Nov 14 08:57:01 CST 2006)' id='8888' name='OC4J'>

    </statistics>
    </DMSDUMP>
    Or produces an XML document of the form:
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=xml&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    You can use the Spy console to find the table that contains the details for MDB and then take it from there.
    This is not what you specifically want to do, but it does provide a good overview of how DMS is used.

    How to get summary columns in delimited text file
    I am trying to generate a delimited text file output with delimited_hdr = no.The report is a Group above report with summary columns at the bottom.In the text file the headers are not getting repeated & thats ok.The problem is the summary data is getting repeated for each row of data.Is there a way where i will get all the data & summary data will get displayed only once.I have to import the delimited text file in excel spreadsheet.

    Sorry there were a typos :
    When I used desformat=DELIMITEDDATA with desttype=FILE, I get error "unknown printer driver DELIMITEDDATA". When you look for help, DELIMITED is not even listed as one of the values for DESTFORMAT. But if you scroll down and look for DELIMITER it says , this works only in conjuction with DESTFORMAT=DELIMITED !!!!!!??!! This is in 9i.
    Has this thing worked for anybody ? Can anyone please tell if they were able to suppress the sumary columns or the parent columns of a master-detail data for that matter ?

  • How to get the number of columns in a result set???

    hi everyone..
    i am trying to establish a servlet applet communication....
    my applet send the sql query to the servlet as serialised string and then the servlet executes the query...
    Since i need to pass the result back to the applet, i thaught of passing the whole reult set to the applet..but that seems to be not possible..
    so i thaught of storing my result set data in a vector and then pass the vector,but the first problem that i came across is that how to get the number of colums in a result set....
    so is there a way to get the number of columns in a result set...???
    and also i would like to know if it possible to send my whole result set to the applet bye serialization or by any method...???
    thanx in advance

    You shouldn't do. It expenses resources (you should always close the ResultSet and the Statement as fast as possible). Simply gently process it into a Collection or Map of DTO's. Those are serializable.

    Assuming that you don't want to actually do this from within Java code (which would obviously require native code), here's a utility that will give you a list of which file handles are opened by which processes (on Windows):
