Hi,

I'm trying to automate scripting an index for a 500+ page book. I've got the script to index the page my list is on, but I can't get it to include the rest of the book documents. Any ideas?

I'm new to scripting, but using a few samples here and there I've managed to put together the following:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDocument to active document
	tell myDocument
		set myStory to object reference of parent story of selection
		tell myDocument
			set myIndex to make index
		end tell
		tell myStory
			repeat with myCounter from 1 to (count paragraphs)
				tell myIndex
					set myPageReference to make page reference with include book documents true
				end tell
			end repeat
		end tell
	end tell
end tell
