Quick question: do xml elements respond to the select command? I am still trying to fix up an export from selected element script, but still can't get the thing to work properly. Does the following script look completely wrong? tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" set export from selected of XML export preferences to true set myDocument to active document tell myDocument set assocXML to associated XML elements of selection set parentXML to parent of item 1 of assocXML tell myDocument to select parentXML export format XML to "Macintosh HD:test.xml" without showing options end tell end tell Note, if I put 'parentXML' after the export word (i.e. export parentXML format...), it makes no difference. Any help would be gratefully received. James
