Hi, I'm not sure why the script below doesn't work (brackets for effect only). It works if the color is named "Red", which is also in the Swatches Palette. Any help would be appreciated. 

Also, is there a way to bypass having to enter a complete path to your document when assigning color? 

---- 

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set currentDoc to document [doc name] of application "InDesign 2.0.1" 

	set fill color of row 1 of selection to swatch "PANTONE 2735 CV" of currentDoc 

end tell 

----
