I am trying to create a script that, when run, will create a 7 x 11-inch document with two pages, 1 page per spread, margins/cloumns, transparency blend space of RGB, a MMYY date box, an auto page number. The last 2 items I would like to have on a master page in the lower left and right corners, respectively.

So far, I've got everything but the blendng space, MMYY, the auto page number. I can figure out how to get format the text, but I just know how to get it there in the first place. Any help would be appreciated.


--Set application defaults,then create a new document.
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myViewPreferences to view preferences
	tell myViewPreferences
		set horizontal measurement units to inches
		set vertical measurement units to inches
	end tell
	set myDocPrefs to document preferences
	tell myDocPrefs
		set pages per document to 2
		set page orientation to landscape
		set page height to 7
		set page width to 11
	end tell
	set myMarginPrefs to margin preferences
	tell myMarginPrefs
		set column count to 3
		set column gutter to 0.25
		set margin top to 1
		set margin bottom to 0.25
		set margin left to 0.25
		set margin right to 0.9375
	end tell
	set myDocument to make document
	tell myDocument
		set properties of document preferences to �
			{pages per spread:1}
		set blending space of myDocument to rgb
	end tell
end tell
