I have worked out how to manually flow a text file into a new ID document. But I have been unable to find some elements within scripting and need help. I have created a document and set the margins accordingly. In the new document window I have to deselect the "Facing Pages" option and select "Master Text Frame". I assumed this would be within the Document Preferences, but nothing jumps out as being the obvious solution. I then place the text within the box again I have done this before, so I'm quite happy with that part. But the next part of the script I am unsure of is when you've selected the file for importing and the cursor is over the text frame you have the loaded icon (text in brackets) this needs to be changed to the autoflow icon (snakey arrow)and then the text flows into continuous pages. If anyone could help with any of these issues, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance Fee
