Hi everyone,
i'm trying to write an applescript that will apply a hyperlink to some selected text (a product number). Where I am running into trouble is that the hyperlinks cannot be "shared destination".
After poaching what I could from some other scripts, I have this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
tell document 1
set mySelection to selection
set prodNo to contents of mySelection as string
set prodNoURL to "http://www.webaddress.com/address/" & prodNo as string
try
set TheH to make hyperlink URL destination with properties {name:prodNo, destination URL:prodNoURL}
on error
set TheH to hyperlink URL destination prodNo
end try
set TheHS to make hyperlink text source with properties {source text:(item 1 of mySelection), hidden:false}
set myHyperlink to make new hyperlink with properties {destination:TheH, source:TheHS, visible:false}
end tell
end tell
end
This works, except that the resulting hyperlinks are linking to Shared Destination, which they cannot do (I don't know why, actually; my little script is just one step in a bigger process.)
How do I create a hyperlink that will link to URL, with the "Shared Destination" checkbox OFF:
Thanks for your help!
