Hi everybody, and sorry that this is also posted in the regular InDesign group( I didn't know this group existed before I sent it to the other one) I am new to InDesign, and basically want to learn it so that I can design a daily planner. My plan was to have each week is spread out over two pages facing each other, with the given weekday and day of the month in the section for each day. I really don't want to manually enter the correct day of the month and weekday 365 times and was wondering if there could be a way to automate this by scripting or some other method, especially since if this first calendar works out nicely, it may become an annual event. I also want to have a kind of quote or thoughtful tidbit for each week, and was wondering if I put all my quotes in a plain text file(each on a separate line), if there was a way that I could just specify on the master pages that a given field should be filled with a line from my file of quotes. Thank you for helping me nurture my laziness, Hanten
