Hello,

i try to import text data out of a database in indesign 1.5.2 with
AppleScript on MacOS 9.2. Like before in Xpress i created dummy text
like <<name>>, which i want to replace with contents of database
fields. In Xpress it worked like this:

set every text of every stories where it = "<<name>>" to "Steve Jobs"

How to make this with Indesign?

Please help.

Mule
