Hello I have never scripted InDesign but need a very simple thing done, figure someone has already done it somewhere.

1) I have a 360 page word doc that I want to flow into a text box that goes from page to page (like a book). Is there a way to do this without manually linking each text box?

2) I have another doc that's also about 360 some pages. All PDF without crop marks. I need to put this 2 up and add crops. Adding this manually would be a nightmare. Is there a way to auto import these into a master page or something?

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
