I have put feelers in here before, felt confounded, but am back. I am now using VB5 CCE, which is more comprehensible than VBA, but have read in here [Scripting Newbie] that it can't produce exe files that will run InDesign. Okay, first things first.

I have been going through the examples in the Scripting Guide and can generally follow what's going on, sorta. [Ole, pg. 9 first VB example, line 3. Isn't that missing a "= 0 Then" ? for it to work?

Real questions:
1 What does "Dim" mean?
2 Set myInDesign = CreateObject ("InDesign.Application.2.0") seems to be at the fore of every script. What does it do?

and here's the biggy :

This a script that I made a long time ago for PageMaker. I don't really remember what everything does, but it's goal is very simple, and it's the type of thing I want to be able to do in InDesign (for a start). Can I get some help converting it to InDesign?

PS I won't be using thin spaces though, they are much thinner in ID than they were in PM (�)
