If your documents are in a book, then you don't need any spreadsheets. Just cycle through the book documents, get the number of the (first) page and use that when you save-as the document.

Peter



if( app.books.length != 1 ) 
   {	 
   alert( 'Open just one book' ); 
   exit(); 
   }

folder = �/c/docs/�

var chapters = app.books[0].bookContents.everyItem().fullName; 
for( var i = 0; i < chapters.length; i++ ) 
   { 
   app.open( chapters[i] ); 
   app.activeDocument.save( 
      File( folder + app.activeDocument.pages[0].name + �.indd� ) 
      ); 
   app.activeDocument.close(); 
   }
