    Thank you so much, David. Appreciate your help troubleshooting; I am on a Mac. I have the script loaded into InDesign and selected my files in the Finder, but am still receiving an error.

    Are you (or anyone else here) able to provide any clues based on the error info pasted below?

    Okay, thanks, David. I have gone thru and replaced all of them with the proper characters and still getting an error in InD. Is there maybe something else I’m not getting? Like should I be removing the “————————————————————–
    ———————–BEGIN SCRIPT———————–
    ————————————————————–” at the beginning or maybe I should be removing the “directions” in this script – the stuff shown in parentheses? Or maybe there is a command I need to add to the front?

    In all the years I’ve tried, have never had success getting a text script to run (even when following tutorials such as yours), so I feel like *I* must be missing something that is maybe assumed or common knowledge by folks who have done this before?

    I did read that in the troubleshooting section of the link you shared. I used “Plain Text” instead of RTF in Text Edit, so am not sure “curly quotes” would be an issue in the case of Plain Text?

    Thank you for for this resource, David! While I still wasn’t able to get this script to run (not sure why), this is definitely the info I have been searching for. Hopefully, I’ll be able to figure out how to actually make one work one day :P

    Hi Jeremy – would it be possible for you to direct me to a resource that will teach me exactly what to do with the text of your script? I have been Googling all afternoon, but not finding any answers on where to place this text to turn it into a script that will run. Thanks for your help!
