This is similar to what I had before, in PageMaker (I was in the middle of rewriting it after I lost it in a crash, and we're using InDesign now...) 

I used a dialogue box/form to get the values for MajorDivision, SchoolOrHospital and lots of other stuff.. then used code like this to place it. I'm guessing I can create a datafile via a VB program with this information then import it into InDesign.. but how?

------------- EXAMPLE ----------- 

NewStory .74, .336

NewStory .74, .586 
Style "DIV" 
textenter MajorDivision 
selectall 
kerntext .2 

NewStory .74, .86 
Style "SCHOOL" 
textenter SchoolOrHospital 
selectall
