Brian--

While you can't undo the effect of a script with a single command, you can keep track of all of the events and undo/redo them in sequence. Apart from save, save as, close, and a few other file operations, everything in InDesign can be undone.

The only trouble--from a scripter's point of view--is that it's difficult to tell where an event on the undo "queue" came from. Was it something our script did, or was it a user action? Not even a history feature would solve this for us.

For whatever it's worth, I've always used method #2. It is clunky, but it gets the job done.

Thanks,

Ole
