For me, getting the data I need out of the database is no problem, it's the poor documentation for InDesign's scripting API that's hurting me. Let me know if you're planning to write in VBscript or VB.NET, and I'll be happy to give you an example. Robert: Thanks for your help, unfortunately, it's yielded no results. I still can't manage to style a single paragraph at a time. Seems like it should be simple. Can you explain exactly what an InsertionPoint is? The InDesign Scripting Reference's description is not very informative, and the Scripting Guide gives examples for NOTHING I need to do. -J
