Text and Type
Autocorrect
54
Autocorrect
The autocorrect feature can correct text as you type. The following script shows how to use it (for the
complete script, see Autocorrect):
//The autocorrect preferences object turns the
//autocorrect feature on or off.
app.autoCorrectPreferences.autoCorrect = true;
app.autoCorrectPreferences.autoCorrectCapitalizationErrors = true;
//Add a word pair to the autocorrect list. Each AutoCorrectTable is linked
//to a specific language.
var myAutoCorrectTable = app.autoCorrectTables.item("English: USA");
//To safely add a word pair to the auto correct table, get the current
//word pair list, then add the new word pair to that array, and then
//set the autocorrect word pair list to the array.
var myWordPairList = myAutoCorrectTable.autoCorrectWordPairList;
//Add a new word pair to the array.
myWordPairList.push(["paragarph", "paragraph"]);
//Update the word pair list.
myAutoCorrectTable.autoCorrectWordPairList = myWordPairList;
//To clear all autocorrect word pairs in the current dictionary:
//myAutoCorrectTable.autoCorrectWordPairList = [[]];
Footnotes
The following script fragment shows how to add footnotes to a story (for the complete script, see
Footnotes):
var myWord, myFootnote;
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
var myStory = myDocument.stories.item(0);
//Add four footnotes at random locations in the story.
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < 4; myCounter ++){
myWord = myStory.words.item(myGetRandom(0, myStory.words.length));
var myFootnote = myWord.insertionPoints.item(-1).footnotes.add();
//Note: when you create a footnote, it contains text--the footnote
//marker and the separator text (if any). If you try to set the text of
//the footnote by setting the footnote contents, you will delete the
//marker. Instead, append the footnote text, as shown below.
myFootnote.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "This is a footnote.";
//This function gets a random number in the range myStart to myEnd.
function myGetRandom(myStart, myEnd){
var myRange = myEnd - myStart;
return myStart + Math.floor(Math.random()*myRange);
}
