Re: Script to select last row of a long table in every page

@Mohamed – you can do it in a different way.

You could identify the text frame a specific cell is sitting in by looking at it's first insertionPoint.

myCell.texts[0].insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0].id;

will get you the unique ID of that frame. If that changes, your table is flowing to the next text frame.

And you can get the page the text frame is sitting on by doing this:

myCell.texts[0].insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;

This will return an Page Object or null, if the text frame is on the pasteboard.

If the text frame is on a page, you can get the unique document offset of the page:

myCell.texts[0].insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset;

If that will change, you know that the table is flowing to a different page.

So all we have to do is to identify the cell before this happens and access the row it is sitting in:

myCellBeforeMyCell.parentRow;

How can we know the cell before? It's just the one with the index number of the cell that has the page change minus 1.

You can loop all cells of your table and react to the results of documentOffset.
Do not forget to include the last row of the table after looping. After that one there will be no change.

To get the array of all cells just do:

var myCells = myTable.cells.everyItem().getElements();
for(var n=0;n<myCells.length;n++){
//Your code here for checks on every individual cell.
};
