Shane,  

You are a scripting god! 

You helped me out on this same project a while back with your table formatting script, and now this. 

I haven't fully exported everything yet but my first impression is... 

Seems to work like a charm; however, I was fiddling in the background and when I switched back to InDesign, a chapter was displayed on the screen with its formatting all wonkey. I then opened up another chapter from the book and the same thing. Panicking because I wasn't working with a backup (foolish, and a lesson learned), I quit and restarted. Everything looks fine now.  

So to all other novice scripters, I recommend working from a backup just in case. 

I'll be back with the final wrapup. 

Thanks again.
