    Oh! :-O

    I think it would work brilliantly! I guess I have to be bold and learn more about scripts now. And yes, I do like the idea of half automation. At times we go over the top to achieve complete automation and end up spending more time than it would have taken otherwise.

    Thanks a lot.

    OH! If it was in my control, yes I would design masters “based on”. There is a huge gap between “Should be” and “IS”.

    But, I think learning to write a script is definitely a good idea. I will invest in it. Can come handy at times like this.

    Thanks again Kai.

    Thanks Kai,

    Yes, I am aware of this method.

    In this case the problem is: this file is not created by me. I have to handle it for pre-press and it contains about 50 master pages. The “designer” apparently does not know the concept of text variables and running headers, so one master each for every new chapter in his book!!! So I did exactly as you described but had to load the text in cursor and create frames on each page.

    Was just wondering if there was anything better than this.
