Christopher,

This is not scripting tip but it might help you laying out text to your pages.

I prepare comic book lettering text beforehand as Tagged Text in BBEdit and then bring it to InDesign.

If you look at the Tagged Text code in my example you will notice that I have tagged a Frame Break character after the text in each balloon.

Now, when in InDesign I just drag over the first balloon and then second etc.

Because the last character is a Frame Break the cursor keeps loaded and each balloon have the right text content.

<UNICODE-MAC>
<DefineParaStyle:BodyText>
<ParaStyle:BodyText>Er��n� iltana Chihuahuassa, Meksikon samannimisen osavaltion p��kaupungissa...<cNextXChars:Box>
Tuhat tulimmaista! Mit� hy�ty� oli luikkia kuin varkaat 300 mailin matka, kun lopuksi marssimme suoraan suden suuhun?<cNextXChars:Box>
�ij� puhuu asiaa, Mike. Vaikka siit� on kolme vuotta, meid�t viel� muistetaan t�ss� rotankolossa.<cNextXChars:Box>

Of course you can add character style tags to your taste.
