    I am using a Mac, OSX ver. 10.6.2

    When I create a frame in InDesgin, making sure that the measurements are set to points not inches, and I double click the MakeGrid.jsx script in the Script panel nothing happens.

    Please advise.

    Why are you changing the measurements to points? It should not matter.

    I have no problem with makegrid working. Just to be sure… you've selected the frame with the Selection tool?

    I'm an old school draftsman from way back I'm used to inches. Yes, I select the frame with the Selection tool then I double click the MakeGrid.jsx Script within the Scripts panel. I also viewed your video on how to do this on Lynda.com so I'm sure I'm following the steps correctly.

    Problem solved! I needed to delete the InDesign preferences then the script worked.

    El, it's possible some other script switched off “User Interaction”, to hide all dialogs and messages while a script is running. Of course, the script should have switched it back on at the end, but perhaps something went wrong (and you'll never know, because you won't have seen the error message either). Or perhaps the script writer simply forgot.

    If you suspect this might be the case, you can run a single line script to restore the normal mode, so you don't have to restart ID and loose all your custom settings. This is further discussed in https://forums.adobe.com/message/1973478

    (And if you are certain which script causes this to happen, you might be able to fix it.)
