Re: Extendscript that runs "Apply Master Pages"

Hi Roman,

The one line from Oliver John's earlier post is a combination of finding the Fcode, entering it into an array and send the array of Fcodes to FrameMaker to be executed. The Fcodes( ... ) command sends one or more Fcodes to FrameMaker, which are then executed. They could be keystroke sequences or, in the case we're discussing, a menu command. So the same could be done with the following code, which separates all steps:

var oCodesToBeExecuted = [ ];

var oMyCommandObject = app.GetNamedCommand ( "ApplyMasterPages" );

var iTheCode = oMyCommandObject.Fcode;

oMyCodes.push ( iTheCode );

Fcodes ( oCodesToBeExecuted );

I hope this explains the method. By the way, if you want to apply the master pages on a book object (i.e. on all its chapters, using the Apply Master Pages command in the Book's Format menu), you should replace "ApplyMasterPages" by "ApplyMasterPagesBook".

Kind regards
