Thanks for the reply Colleen. I’ve been reading about data merging from a very informative old post. https://creativepro.com/automating-data-handling.php
Maybe I need to think about this as a variable data challenge since just four or less lines of copy would be changing each time. Much like a business card or the example in the link above..however at any given time the copy could be going on any one of five different size covers. At the very least, I would think that when I receive my copy in the spread sheet, possibly I would need one spread sheet for each size cover.

Thank you both. I have set up some files with some basic easy styles to test this book feature and it’s functions.
Then I will attempt my crazy price grids with all kinds different styles.

Thank you both for your comments.

David – I think you are onto something! I just tested the sample scripts that come with ID do in fact work. I never tested those. (sadly I don’t use those ones much)
So the ones that won’t work are custom. For example unlock all, reposition content, Quotes to Foot and Inches, batch convert to name a few. I just remembered there are versions of these scripts saved on the server in question, but I can’t imagine that would cause issues. This is from InDesign CC, but I also have the same problem from 5.5.

I’ll take the stored scripts off the server. I will also take them all out of ID and re-install to test one at a time.

maggs – The files I’ve been testing have been created from InDesign that is on my mac and are files that have not been to the server yet. There aren’t any apps on the server, just a storage place for jobs and common links we all use in our ID files.

Again…this might not be a true script topic…but thanks for you help.
