Robin-- Try this thread: Olav Kvern "from applescript to visual basic" 3/6/03 1:33pm </cgi-bin/webx?13@@.1de82b16/0> As Jens notes, the problem with iterating through the master page items is that *touching* a master page item via scripting copies it to the page. To find a master page item without disturbing the others requires a bit of trickery--you might want to take a look at the function in my message to Laurent. Jens-- Watch out for For Each...Next constructions--there's an InDesign bug that limits the number of iterations to 256. If you have more objects than that, For Each...Next will miss them. Instead, use the old fashioned For <counter> from X to Y...Next loop. And thanks for helping out here on the Forum! I really appreciate your posts. Thanks, Ole
