The ID is a unique value for each of the objects in the document, but you
cannot be sure if the same generated object will get the same ID, so it is
only usable in a single script run. So it's safer to refer to the script
labels (which can be set with script label palette - or "Scriptbezeichnung",
if you field a german version of ID). Also please download the scripting
reference on the URL
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/pdfs/idsnscripting.pdf (or on the
install CD, Ole Kvern would say) to become familiar with the object model
provided by InDesign. In it there are some basic examples how to start, hope
you are somewhat familiar with Visual basic at all. If you have managed to
run the first "hello world" script errorfree, feel free to ask specific
questions.

Toggle the invisible characters on, normally Strg+Alt+i, to see all the
control chars.
