Hi, thanks for the quick reply! I tryed the revised version and it worked by itslef, so I guess that really was the missing link. Now, when I combined these 2 lines inside the bigger version, it failed to work. This is the script (Do you have any idea what's the bug?): //InDesign CS3 Javascript //Not working properly. Supposed to combine 2 different index markers into a single index marker containing 1 page range //according to the original index markers location //The real script has loops and counters, here I simplified it to see what exactely went wrong: myIndex = app.activeDocument.indexes.item(0); myTopics = myIndex.topics; myTopic1 = myTopics.item(0); myPara1 = myTopics.item(0).pageReferences.item(0).sourceText.paragraphs.item(0); //The location of the first index marker: myPara1Place = myPara1.parent.texts.itemByRange(0, myPara1.index).texts.item(0).paragraphs.length; myTopic2 = myTopics.item(1); myPara2 = myTopics.item(1).pageReferences.item(0).sourceText.paragraphs.item(0); //The location of the second index marker: myPara2Place = myPara1.parent.texts.itemByRange(0, myPara1.index).texts.item(0).paragraphs.length; //sets the page reference to refer to a page range based on paragraphs: myTopic1.pageReferences.item(0).pageReferenceType = PageReferenceType.forNextNParagraphs; myLimit = myPara2Place - myPara1Place; myTopic1.pageReferences.item(0).pageReferenceLimit = myLimit; //Removes the second and uneeded topic myTopic2.pageReferences.item(0).remove();
