Reply To: Moving Scripts from PageMaker to InDesign

There is no way a PageMaker script can work with InDesign.

Sorry, but that's the way it is. It's not just that the scripting language is different — PageMaker has its own unique built-in language, InDesign exports its scripting model to any programming language that supports importing external definitions — or that items have different names than in InDesign (“style” vs. “ParagraphStyle”, etc.). The entire document model, objects, commands, and properties is entirely different.

To “use” the same script in InDesign, it has to be rewritten from scratch — you cannot “change just the right bits” to make it work.
