apply font to textframe with scripting

[magmo]

Hi


Can anyone show me ho I can apply a certain font and fontsize to text that is in a textframe using visual basic.net. Also, is it possible to have different fonts and sizes inside the same textframe, I would in that case be very happy if an example is shown to me.


This is what I got so far..


Dim myIndesign As InDesign.Application
Dim myDocument As InDesign.Document
Dim myPage As InDesign.Page
Dim myTextFrame As InDesign.TextFrame
Dim myArray As Array
Dim myIntArray() As Integer = {10, 10, 20, 30}

myIndesign = CreateObject("Indesign.Application")
myDocument = myIndesign.Documents.Add
myPage = myDocument.Pages.Item(1)

'Create a text frame
myTextFrame = myDocument.TextFrames.Add
myTextFrame.GeometricBounds = myIntArray

myTextFrame.TextContents = ("Hello World")

Hi Robin

I would like to style words, range of chars or the whole textframe. All help is very appreciated.

Also, do you know where the old indesign 2 scripting help can be downloaded. I have allready downloaded the new CS version, but I would like the old one as well.

Regards
