I ran the script below in InDesign 1.5
and in InDesign 2.01(trial edition.).
The effects seem to be different. In
1.5 the last line is "sample text",
whereas in 2.01 it is just "text".Is
there a reason for the different
appearances?

I tried this on an ibook and a G4(both
on system 9.2) and saw the same
effects. I believe I was using
defaults everywhere, but may be
wrong.

I did notice on the G4 that that the
typeface was called Times Regular
in 1.5 and Times Roman in 2.01. Are
these different typefaces? If so, I
don't remember doing anything ever
with any variant of "Times" on either
the ibook or G4. How might I
unwittingly have obtained the two
variants of Times?

I am definitely a beginner with
InDesign--or any page layout
program, for that matter--so
I am hoping my question is easy
to answer.

Thank you,

Roger
