Hello

Could anyone please help an absolute ID scripting beginner?

My Problem: I would like to place text and pictures from a database in different places of an InDesign document by the help of Visual Basic. These places should be defined relatively (i.e. not by an absolute position in mm, inch ...).

I checked the following possibilities to refer to particular places:

1. IDs and Labels of TextFrames, Rectangles, ...: I could not find any information on what IDs and Labels in InDesign are, how their values can be set, if one can set their values at all etc.

2. Hyperlink Destinations (text anchors): I do not have any experience in working with Hyperlinks in InDesign, but as far as I can see the administration of Hyperlinks is not very handy (e.g. is there a possibility to show the anchors in the text?)

Does anyone have a good solution for this problem?

Thank you
Daniel
