I have a script written for 2.x that used a template file to generate a form with master page items that would be filled with text (from another source) in a new page that used the applied master. It used to be that you could simply refer to the master page items of page [x] and they would become page items on that page. Having upgraded to CS, I'm going through my old scripts to root out any changes in syntax. I have seen the command method "override" that purports to do what I need for CS, but when I open the template, apply the master spread to the resulting untitled document, then tell that spread to list the page items, it returns an empty list. I can get a list of the master page items for page [x], but when I try to override items in that list, I get an AS errmsg "Some parameter not understood". Anyone using this sort of construct who can clue me to the proper syntax?
