It's wrong--the web interface that's provided for posting scripts doesn't allow you to enter anything else. The web team has no clue what the requirements are for InDesign scripts. Even if they did, this is the interface that they've used for all products and they probably would not change it just for InDesign. re: "If Windows worked this way Microsoft would be out of business. When Microsoft supplies an interface it never goes away and never changes. This too has problems. Typically there are several ways to do the same think and it is difficult to find the best and most current way." I'm sorry, but this is so funny I can hardly wait to show it to my friends at Microsoft!<g> InDesign is a very, very new product, with scripting being added/developed with very limited resources. I expect that terminology changes will be kept to a minimum after CS, but we will not leave things broken and/or incomplete just to try to maintain script backward compatibility. Thanks, Ole
