//PlaceTextFileInFrame.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
//Places a text file in a text frame.
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
//Set the measurement units to points.
myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
//Create a text frame.
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add({geometricBounds:myGetBounds(myDocument, myDocument.pages.item(0))});
//Place a text file in the text frame.
//Parameters for TextFrame.place():
//File as File object,
//[ShowingOptions as Boolean = False]
//You'll have to fill in your own file path.
myTextFrame.place(File("/c/test.txt"));
function myGetBounds(myDocument, myPage){
var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
var myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight
if(myPage.side == PageSideOptions.leftHand){
var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
else{
var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
var myY1 = myPage.marginPreferences.top;
var myX2 = myPageWidth - myX2;
var myY2 = myPageHeight - myPage.marginPreferences.bottom;
return [myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2];
