Hi l was going to do this script in applescript but l'm having a go in javascript also.

That l'm trying to do is copy an embeded picture from one document to others that are open.

l've labeled the box 'pic1' on all templates and l'm able to select the picture on the active document and copy to the clipboard by doing something like the following:

//---------

var myActiveSpread = app.layoutWindows[0].activeSpread;
var myTargetSpread = app.documents[0].spreads[0];

var numOfDocs = app.documents.length;

if (numOfDocs > 1) {
 for (var n = 0; n < numOfDocs; n++) {
	var myTargetSpread = app.documents.item(n);
	myImageFrame = myTargetSpread.pageItems.item("pic1").select();
	//app.pasteInto();

}
}

//-------

The app.pasteInto will not work unless the TargetSpread is activated (bring to front) so how can l make the back document my active one?

Regards, Gary.
