�ystein, 

It looks like the autoFlow parameter and importOptions parameter are switched. So try passing in true for the importOptions parameter (parameter 5) and that should trigger auto flow. 



myTextFrame.Place "c:\inddscript\applikasjoner\utvalget\rtf\test.rtf", , , ,true

hi! 

I try to place a rtf document into an InDesign document. The InDesign document is based on a template consisting of only one page and one textframe. 

When doing this manually I can hold down the shift-key when placing the rtf to make the placed rtf-text autoflow - it works fine: It adds any numbers of pages needed and these are filled with the text from the rtf document. 

I try to do this with VBScript: 



  
' --------- Script:  
const indd_no_error = 1699640946 

Set ids=CreateObject("InDesign.Application")  
ids.UserInteractionLevel=indd_no_error 

set doc = ids.open ("c:\inddscript\applikasjoner\utvalget\maler\utv.indt")  
set doc = ids.ActiveDocument 

set myTextFrame = doc.textframes.item(1)  
myTextFrame.Place "c:\inddscript\applikasjoner\utvalget\rtf\test.rtf"  
set ids = nothing  
' ---------- End script  




This opens the correct InDesign document, places the correct rtf-document - but the text does not autoflow. Only one page is generated. 

I have consulted the > 600 page pdf from Adobe - but lack of scripting experience makes me confused by the syntax provided. 

I have looked everywhere for a solution - but I can not manage to give the place-function the correct parameters. I have tried... 



myTextFrame.Place "c:\inddscript\applikasjoner\utvalget\rtf\test.rtf", , ,true



...and a number of other obviously wrong combinations to set the autoFlow parameter true - but it does not work. 

Can anyone show me a statement with sample parameters that will work? 

PS I: I have searched the net for script samples - but very little seems to be available but this forum. Do you have adresses for any good webpages with samples, tutorials, articles and/or discussions? 

PS II: I have also searched for a book on the topic. I find a number conserning applescript and InDesign - but I can not find any on the VBscript/InDesign-combo. Does such a book exist?
