Richard--

Okay--here's the short list:

* JavaScript support. InDesign CS has a built-in ExtendScript (ECMA JavaScript-compliant) interpreter and debugger.

* User interface item creation. You can create modal dialog boxes containing pop-up menus, checkboxes, entry fields, radio buttons, and other controls. You don't have to use a resource editor, third-party program, or scripting extension--it's all built into the dialog object (which belongs to the application object).

* Significant speed improvements.

* Many new objects/properties/methods. All of the path operations, for example, are supported for rectangles, ovals, polygons, lines, and text frames.

* Closed many of the known "holes" in our object model--path text, for example, is now scriptable, as are the path points on a text wrap. EPS and other export options are now under scripting control (no need to resort to SendKeys!).

More, and more detail, to come! Right at the moment I'm just trying to get the new Scripting Guide and examples up on the InDesign scripting home page.

Thanks,

Ole
