Ian,

One of the things that I discovered that makes life a whole lot easier with this kind of scripting enterprise is templates. Rather than have a script do a lot of work setting up master pages and the like, why not just build a template the way you want it and then have the script open a copy of the template.

That makes it much easier to change design details downstream.

Another thing I do is give labels to any text frames on masters that I intend to release to individual pages. That way, if the script has to rerun, I can easily check if the page I'm working on has already got the relevant frames on it.

I fear I can't help with scripting examples because I'm a Mac/AppleScript person.

Good luck.

Dave
