John--

Right, I remember your file. As far as creating tagged text goes, your script can generate it from the file on the fly--there's no need to have a human mark it up ahead of time (tagged text files are simple text-only files; AppleScript is pretty good at writing text files).

Dave--

John doesn't have a "user" to run the process, and I don't think he has any inlines to worry about. He's creating a "hands off" automated layout system driven by text files that are already marked up for a previous (i.e., non-InDesign) system. What he's trying to do is create an InDesign script that can read the previous-version files and create the layout in ID. It's pretty cool, actually.

(But your notes are still useful and welcome!<g>)

Thanks,

Ole
