Dave--

As far as I know, that's the only option. Or, I should say, it's the least expensive option. Throwing the computer into a large body of water will work, as will hurling it from a tall building.

I'm surprised that the backup went back only to the start of the script--usually, for me, it goes to the last scripted change to the file.

When I'm working on something I think might take forever, I set up an InDesign dialog box that comes up every now and then to ask me if I want to continue. The dialog contains radio buttons that say "stop now", "keep going", and "don't display again". If I've made some horrendous mistake, I can stop it in a few iterations--and if everything is going well, I can let the script finsh without having to attend to it.

Thanks,

Ole
