Hi Folks,

I'm working on an InDesign/InCopy Plug-In for CS3 and CS4, Mac/Win, and I've hit a issue that I don't quite know how to deal with.

Here's the issue. Suppose I have two InCopy stories in an InDesign or InCopy document. Both stories have been set to track changes. Now, based on some trigger, my plug-in needs to replace the contents of one story with the contents of the other. That's not a problem if I do not want to keep the tracked changes information. But in my case, I would like to keep the tracked changes information--I want the destination story to have the same changes recorded in it as the story that it was copied from.

I haven't found a command that will include the tracked changes during the copying process. I've tried three or so commands, but in all cases, the copy process defaults to accepting all changes.I've also read through the Tracked Changes section of the CS3 Programming Guide, but there we no hints there.

So, does anyone here know of a command that will copy a story, including its tracked changes, from one story to another? Before I write my own command to do this, I thought I would ask here in hopes that I was missing something obvious.

Thanks!

-- Jim
