Dave,

> This would be a fairly simple thing to script, but why? It doesn't seem
like a particularly useful thing to want.

creating magazins, as editor I often layout items without knowing on which
page they are to be placed in the end. Some news-articles are placed to see
how long they are - even for layout purposes. So I collect them on an empty,
"dummy" page.

On PageMaker this manner of finishing a magazine-doc was more easy because
of it's unique MF: Items could easily and fast moved to the MF and, after
going to the pages, removed to another page. Even to "fill in the gaps" with
little news this was a very effective kind of working. No wasting time
looking on which MF they were left. And no chance to "forget" items once
they were placed.

On ID now every page has its own MF - and you can call this extraordinary or
else, the described feature would help me to do my work in a some clicks
faster manner - especially if working on docs with lots of pages. Others may
user other workarounds, I do editing and typesetting magazines and papers
since PM3 this way.

PC, and I hope you could get an idea what the purpose of the asked feature
is to me. Copying the MF-behaviour from xpress and not from PM was the most
disappointing thing starting with ID. But of course there is no way back,
and so I requested this little script in this forum.

you want the same thing in the same place on a lot of pages, why not use a
master page?

"in place" is not the most important part of my request - moving from the
actual page to another without going to that page is the trick. As I said,
on PM there was such a feature available by script - though it wasn't really
neccessary there to me.

Most comfortable would be an entry in the right-click-context-menue of
activated items with a little pop-up "move to page...". But this I guess is
impossible without adobe?

Thanks and greetings - Uwe
