Help! I need to write a script for InDesign CS Mac version to automate importing a series of images into pages. Someone in our art dept. has written such a script in Visual Basic (VBS) but it only works for the PC version. Here is what the script should do:
� count the number of images in a given folder
� open InDesign
� open a new document with the same number of pages as are in the image folder
� Create a picture box on each page with 1/2" page margin all around
� Import the images in sequence into the picture boxes on each page

I've done a lot of HTML so I thought I could handle this, but I'm stumped! Thanks for the help.
