| Property | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| eventListeners | EventListeners EventListener | readonly | A collection of event listeners. |
| events | Events Event | readonly | A collection of events. |
| firstBaselineOffset | FirstBaseline: FirstBaseline.ASCENT_OFFSET FirstBaseline.CAP_HEIGHT FirstBaseline.LEADING_OFFSET FirstBaseline.EMBOX_HEIGHT FirstBaseline.X_HEIGHT FirstBaseline.FIXED_HEIGHT |
r/w | The distance between the baseline of the text and the top inset of the text frame or cell. |
| ignoreWrap | bool | r/w | If true, ignores text wrap settings for drawn or placed objects in the text frame. |
| insetSpacing | Array of 4 Units (0 - 8640 points) Unit (0 - 8640 points) |
r/w | The amount to offset text from the edges of the text frame, specified either as a single value applied uniformly to all sides of the text frame or as an array of 4 values in the format [top inset, left inset, bottom inset, right inset]. Can return: Unit (0 - 8640 points) or Array of 4 Units (0 - 8640 points). |
| isValid | bool | readonly | Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects. |
| minimumFirstBaselineOffset | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) | r/w | The minimum distance between the baseline of the text and the top inset of the text frame or cell. |
| parent | Application Document ObjectStyle TextFrame |
readonly | The parent of the TextFramePreference (a Application, Document, TextFrame or ObjectStyle). |
| properties | Object | r/w | A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time. |
| textColumnCount | number (range: 1 - 40) | r/w | The number of columns in the text frame. Note: Depending on the value of use fixed column width, the number of columns can change automatically when the text frame size changes. |

| textColumnGutter | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) | r/w | The space between columns in the text frame. |
| useFixedColumnWidth | bool | r/w | If true, maintains column width when the text frame is resized. If false, causes columns to resize when the text frame is resized. Note: When true, resizing the frame can change the number of columns in the frame. |
| verticalBalanceColumns | bool | r/w | Vertically justify balanced across all columns. |
| verticalJustification | VerticalJustification: VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN |
r/w | The vertical alignment of the text content. |
| verticalThreshold | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) | r/w | The maximum amount of vertical space between two paragraphs.
