I am absolutely new to Java Scripting and have been away from programming for a number of year.

I am trying to data merge chacteristics of the data being merged. Is this possible?

A quick example would be to have a data source that has text for a simple text box (easy to merge) and other fields that contain the CMYK color values that I want that text to be in.

Can someone please let me know if this would even be possible in InDesign? If so, how hard a script is this to write?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Matt
