Reply To: JavaScript for InDesign article Simple Script Runner

Thank you David and Peter,
The script editor works just right now! Thanks again.

There is a page in the JavaScript for InDesign article called Simple Scripts to Get You Started. One script in particular caught my eye. The second one in the list.
I have a sixteen chapter book and each chapter is a separate document. Each starts numbering at 1. To make them all continuously sequenced would be great!

Here’s my problem. I opened all of them (I’m running a test with just the first 5 chapters) set the numbering to Automatic, and ran the script. Then I closed them all. Once with saving, and once without. But nothing happens. No change in the numbering at all. The book dialogue box still shows each document starting with 1. It’s a simple one line script so I know it’s typed properly, but I can’t get it to change a thing.

Anyone else have this problem?
PS I’m on a Mac.
