Mike-- Not to speak in my own defence too much, but--thus far in InDesign development--it has been very difficult to write example scripts that will work in the finished product. Scripting terminology has had a tendency to change at the last minute, and I really need to have the Guide locked down around a month before ship. We're trying to make the object library a better (more consistent, more complete) resource, which could mean that I can get into the business of writing a user manual/tutorial for InDesign scripting, rather than a reference manual. That's what I'd rather do. If you've seen Ethan Wilde's excellent Adobe Press book on Illustrator scripting--well, that's my goal. But doing it before the product ships is tricky. I expect we'll get part-way there, next time out. In the meantime, this forum is the main source of scripting tutorial info. And that's not so bad a thing, I think.<g> Thanks, Ole
