Hi Dave Yes, that is what I am doing currently. The main reason I use REALbasic is that I think you can get more useful dialog boxes (even better than Dialog Director) but also because you can store properties more easily (I think) in between trips to InDesign. For example, I may want to select a graphic line, get its left and right points, then select several other lines to make them all the same ( with respect to their left and right alignment). So that's why I am trying REALbasic. I just thought that using AppleEvents might have been a whole lot faster. Perhaps that should have been my question. I know the AppleScript becomes a part of the REALbasic program when it is compiled, but I just would like to know one way or the other whether there is any real difference in speed. Thanks Cliff
