hey there,
the problem i’m having is that i want to switch from document 1 to document 2
where document 1 is my active document. I want to copy those items which i made in document 1 and paste them into page 3 of document 2 but it doesn’t seem to work.
-------- start my script ---------
tell application “InDesign 2.0.1”
tell document MasterColofon_BSname
– this would be document 1
tell page 1
set the contents of line 5 of text frame 4 to Line5
set the contents of line 6 of text frame 4 to Line6
set the contents of line 7 of text frame 4 to Line7
set the contents of line 8 of text frame 4 to Line8
set the contents of line 9 of text frame 4 to Line9
set the contents of line 1 of text frame 2 to Date1
set the contents of line 1 of text frame 1 to ColorLine1
set the contents of line 2 of text frame 1 to ColorLine2
end tell
end tell
tell page 1 of document 1
set myRectangle to rectangle 1
set myTextFrame1 to text frame 1
set myTextFrame2 to text frame 2
set myTextFrame3 to text frame 3
set myTextFrame4 to text frame 4
set myGroup to make group with data {myRectangle, myTextFrame1, myTextFrame2, myTextFrame3, myTextFrame4}
end tell
select myGroup
copy
tell document varTemplateFileName
– this would be page 3 of document 2
activate
set active spread of window 1 to parent of page 3 --of document 2
set myTextFrame to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{“6p”, “6p”, “18p”, “18p”}, contents:“This was page 1”}
paste --myGroup
end tell
end tell
-------- end my script ----------
any good ideas?
