Hi
I�ve got a catalog with 9000 articles, 2000 of the articles should be marked with a object (square or circle). This will take a couple of days/weeks if I do it manually. Is there anyone that could help me how to do it with scripting?

Info:
Windows platform (XP)
InDesign cs
InDesign document with all the articles (picture, description, art.nr.)
Excel with the 2000 article numbers that should be marked out.

Im wiiling to pay for a solution that helps med solve the problem.

/David
