Bank5,

Can you explain how it is that you are unfamiliar with using InDesign and yet you are tasked with scripting it? I ask out of genuine interest because one of the things I'm trying to do is come up with a way of introducing people to scripting InDesign, and I find myself looking at:

1. They need to know InDesign (500 - 800 page book)
2. They need to know JavaScript (400 page book)
3. They need to understand the InDesign object model (700 page book)
4. They need to know ExtendScript Toolkit (100 page book)

That's an awful lot of pages.

So, I've been saying to myself: well if they don't know InDesign, what are they doing trying to script it? I guess I was hoping to avoid writing those 500 to 800 pages.

But here you are. And so my question. How did you get into this state where you need to script something that you're not familiar with?
