Overriding master page items and adding text

Next, we override one of the master text frames we created and add text to it.

AppleScript

tell text frame 1 of page 2 of master spread 1 of myDocument
set myTextFrame to override destination page page 1 of myDocument
end tell
--Add text by setting the contents of an insertion point to a string.
--In AppleScript, "return" is a return character.
set contents of insertion point 1 of myTextFrame to "Headline!" & return

JavaScript

var myTextFrame =
myDocument.masterSpreads.item(0).pages.item(1).textFrames.item(0).override(myDocument
.pages.item(0));
//Add text by setting the contents of an insertion point to a string.
//In JavaScript, "\r" is a return character.
myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(0).contents = "Headline!\r";

VBScript

Set myTextFrame =
myDocument.MasterSpreads.Item(1).Pages.Item(2).TextFrames.Item(1).Override(myDocument
.Pages.Item(1))
Rem Add text by setting the contents of an insertion point to a string.
Rem In VBScript, vbCr is a return character.
myTextFrame.InsertionPoints.Item(1).Contents = "Headline!" & vbCr
