Gang-- As it turns out, Urho is quite right. When I updated my system to the shipping version of InDesign CS, rather than a build just prior to shipping, moving page items to a page, spread, or layer stopped working in VB and in JavaScript (it works in AppleScript). So--it's a bug. The Scripting Guide and the scripting object library say you can feed a page, spread, or layer to the "To" parameter of the Move method, but you can't. For now, to move an object from one page to another, you have to copy it, set the destination page to the active page, and then use paste in place. This breaks links between text frames, and is much slower and more awkward than simply moving to the page, as we could in 2.x and all but the most recent builds of CS. I'm hoping this one gets fixed soon! Thanks, Ole
