My company gave me a FindChangeList.txt to use for formatting books. It is in the FindChangeSupport folder in both the JavaScript and VBS folders. When I try to run the Javascript version of FindChangeByList that shipped with InDesign CS4, I get the following error:

Error Number 25
Error String: Expected : :
File: ..FindChangeByList.jsx
Line 172
Source: app.do.Script[myString, ScriptLanguage.javascript]

Running the VBS version of FindChangeByList does nothing at all.

I don't know anything about Javascript, so could someone please tell me what to do.
I am running Windows XP and InDesign CS4.
