Dave, Olav,


The reason my scripts wouldn�t run when the file was opened invisible:

tell application "InDesign CS"
    set mydoc to open "MacHarley:Users:ton:Desktop:Template.indt" �
        without showing window
    tell active document
        (* 
        This won't work when document is hidden:
        -> set vTitleBox to page item 1 of spread 1 whose �
           label is "TitleBox"
        
        But this one does:
         *)
        set vTitleBox to page item 1 of spread 1 of mydoc whose �
        label is "TitleBox"
        set text of vTitleBox to "Menu stands
Supports de menu
Menustandaards"
    end tell
    tell mydoc to make window
end tell

You need to add the reference to the document in all statements...

Now let's see what the difference in speed is :-)
