My apologies. Here is a working NINA script that you can all use. Here's <a href="http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/NINAscriptWithDialog.js" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the .js version</a> and here it is <a href="http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/NINAscriptWithDialog.zip" rel="nofollow">in a zip file</a> (usually easier to download). Place the .js file in the <a href="http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-scripts-in-indesign.php" rel="nofollow">Scripts Panel folder</a>. Before running it, set the zero,zero ruler coordinate to somewhere on the page (by dragging the square box where the two rulers collide). @Teemu, I’m sorry that you didn’t get a reply; it looks like you sent it to our “info” address, and we get so much email there that sometimes we can’t address it all.

As I recall, the book hinted that there were downloads, but I never found downloads that I would be able to use. I tried to email David Blatner about those, but never got an answer.

They're just simple paths. I mean, compare them to these intricate shapes created with the NINA and Mystic Rose scripts that Ole Kvern wrote and we included in <a href="http://indesignsecrets.com/resources/books-and-videos" rel="nofollow"><em>Real World InDesign</em></a>: <img src="http://www.indesignsecrets.com/imgs/snowflakes2.png"> Those all printed "easy peasey" (as my boys like to say), even though they have hundreds (or thousands) of points.

I just have one questions that I suspect everyone is thinking:

“But will they print?”

(Although you know me, I never understand the pre-occupation with printing. Doesn’t it look nice on screen?)
