Thanks Ole, I guess you have answered my question very fully. I am not really having any real speed problems, I suppose, other than my normal non-realistic expectations. But I really thought that using AppleEvents would have made the "REALbasic script" function as if it were part of InDesign (that quickly). However, you are right about the nightmare of AppleEvents. I have printed out (courtesy of ScriptDebugger) the AppleEvents from InDesign. I wouldn't know where to start <g>. So I will take your advice and stick with what I know. I would like to see a couple of your REALbasic examples, if you would. I am mostly self-taught (perhaps who isn't?), and I would like to see if I am somewhat on the right track by looking at an expert's program. Will you drop them somewhere for me to pick up, or else my e-mail address is: typeshopltd@typeshop.co.nz Thanks for your help and also Dave. This list is awesome. So now I will go back to lurking again and learning heaps. Cliff
