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