Dave, I'm so new at this, I'm not really sure I'm following what you are talking about. Is counting the paragraphs something I have to do before writing the script? The whole point of automating all of this is so that when I make changes to the catalog, I can easily update the index. We're talking about several hundred products. Of course, I may be getting myself into more trouble than this is worth--my simple find and replace script just fatally crashed InDesign. I had to dump my preferences to get it to open up again. Oh, do you know what it means when I get the message "Cannot open resource file" when I open or navigate the Scripts pallet in ID? Ole, At first glance, the script that you pasted in is identical to the one I've been trying to run. I'm running 2.0.2, so I wouldn't think that would be a problem. I use the crop marks script out of the same folder all the time without trouble. I'll copy and paste yours in and name it something else and see if it works. Thanks.
