Marilyn,

Sounds like we're trying to crack the same nut. I've played around with scripting the tagging process with mixed results--probably due more to my lack of understanding of the XML and graphic object models in InDesign than anything else. As with InDesign's built-in "Add Untagged Items" I can get a script to add all of the the graphics that are not inline with the text to the "bottom" of the XML structure (and then manually drag them to the correct position) but I have not figured out a good system for automatic insertion of graphics in the correct reading order. I thought about manually inserting an empty XML element in the correct reading order and then somehow associating that with the correct graphic using a selection or something like that but have not had time to work out a solution. I'll certainly let you know if I make any progress with this.

I'm working in JavaScript by the way.

Cheers,
Phil
