TextFrame.IsFirst

Property IsFirst As Boolean

The IsFirst property returns True if the frame is the first text frame.

The IsFirst property returns a read-only value.

The following code example links frames of paragraph text. It then creates three columns of equal width and spacing.

Sub Test() 
 Dim s As Shape 
 Dim s1 As Shape 
 Dim s2 As Shape 
 Dim t As Text 
 Dim f As TextFrame 
 Dim d As Document 
 Set d = CreateDocument 
 Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(2, 2, 5, 5, String$(1000, 
"Z")) 
 Set s1 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(5, 5, 8, 8) 
 Set s2 = d.ActiveLayer.CreateParagraphText(8, 8, 10, 10) 
 Set t = s.Text 
 ' Link the frames together. 
 t.Frame.LinkTo s1 
 s1.Text.Frame.LinkTo s2 
 ' Iterate through each frame. 
 For Each f In t.Frames 
  If f.IsFirst Then 
   f.SetColumns 3, True, 1, 0.3 
   Exit For 
  End If 
 Next f
