I would like to be able to easily copy or export layers from one InDesign document to another.

A nice thought, but keep in mind that layers are global, which is to say they appear on every page, so that might be a bit much to handle.

Do you know about "Paste remembers layers"? You set that in the layers panel menu. Then you can select all in the source doc, copy, and paste in place in the destination, and positioning will be the same. If there's already a layer with the correct name in the destination, ID will use it, otherwise it will automatically create the new one.

You have to do this page by page, but it might be scriptable.

Peter,
I did not know about that "Paste Remembers Layers" feature. I will look into it to see if it helps.
Thanks,

Hi,

I know that Ctrl Publishing had a plug-in for this, called CtrlLayers. It featured just that, export and import layers. It�s not on their website any more, perhaps it�s coming back.
