Overset Manager (or a similar Framescript) for FrameMaker?

[Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp]

Hi Yves,

We once created a simple script to find text overflows, run the script and
it will find the first overflow. May be you can use it to create a more
advanced script.

// Detect overflow in AFrames
// Script detects first overflow and stops there
// copyright iDTP; versie 1.0; januari 2003

Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc

Set vPgf = vCurrentDoc.FirstPgfInDoc;
Set vStop = 0; //Stop when first overflow found


Loop While((vPgf) and (vStop=0))
   Set vNextPgf = vPgf.NextPgfInDoc;
   Set vSubCol = vPgf.InTextObj;
   If ((vSubCol.Overflowed) and (vSubCol.FrameParent.ObjectName = 'AFrame'))
//      Display vSubCol.Properties;

//  Position Cursor    
      New TextLoc NewVar(vTextLoc) Object(vPgf) Offset(0);
      Set vCurrentDoc.TextSelection = vTextLoc;
      Find TextRange(vTextLoc) ScrollTo;
       MsgBox 'Overflow script: Overflow in Anchored Frame (see cursor).
Adapt Frame and run script again.
      Set vStop = 1;
   Endif;
   Set vPgf = vNextPgf;
EndLoop

If (vStop = 0) 
   MsgBox 'Overflow script: no overflow
EndIf;
