Merge TextFrames

Merge TextFrames will provide users with an Adobe InDesign extension that will help you quickly and easily merge multiple textframes into one, while retaining the original styles. Because of properties within InDesign, this extension is actually the most powerful of the three. It accepts characters in the separator field for hard returns, soft returns, and tabs (as well as any combination of any other standard characters). There are also options in the dialog box that control the size of the textframe once it’s been merged (see the variations in the graphic down the page). Installation JSX or JS file: Place the MergeTextframes_ID.jsx into the Scripts Panel directory within your InDesign application directory: Script Panel directory: CS3/CS4 > {application directory**}/Scripts/Scripts Panel CS/CS2 > {application directory**}/Presets/Scripts/Scripts Panel Application Directories: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign {version}\ MXP file (CS4 only): Double-click on the MXP file to install using Adobe Extension Manager CS4.
