We used to have a topic that held a script for posting scripts here, but it must have scrolled off into the ether. Here's the script I use. You can see that it was written by "Peter" -- that's Peter Kahrel, who had posted it here in that previous topic.

Just select your script and then run this script -- it's for either CS3 or CS4.

//DESCRIPTION: Peter's script poster

with( app.documents.add() )  
   {  
   textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;  
   with( app.activeDocument.textFrames.add() )  
      {  
      geometricBounds = [0,0,'700pt','500pt'];  
      insertionPoints[0].select();  
      }  
   }  
app.paste();  
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;  
s = app.documents[0].stories[0]; 
search(s, '&', '&'); 
search(s, '<', '&lt;'); 
search(s, '^t', '&nbsp;&nbsp;'); 
search(s, '^[', "'" );  
search(s, '^]', "'" );  
search(s, '^}', '"' );  
search(s, '^{', '"' );  
s.insertionPoints[0].contents = '<pre>';  
s.insertionPoints[-1].contents = '</pre>'; 
app.select(s.texts[0]); 
app.copy();

function search(s, from, to) { 
  app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = from; 
  app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = to; 
  s.changeText(); 
}

Thanks Peter.

Dave
