Vincent-- 

re: InputBox 

A form would be *way* better, but I couldn't create a form with VBScript. But you can do a beautiful job of form creation with VB5 CCE.<g> 

Clearly, the script I provided isn't the ideal solution--but I thought it might get you started thinking about the directions you might want to take. 

And, no, I don't think it'll be too difficult, given that you've worked with PM scripting. I wrote several billion lines of PMScript code, and I'd say that one thing that makes InDesign scripting better is that it's far less fragile. PageMaker scripts depended on selecting objects and acting on them as you would using the user interface. InDesign scripting doesn't. 

Thanks, 

Ole
