hi there Colin,
I’ve been looking for a way to save the settings in the mergetextframes script and apply a shortcut to it so that I can apply the script several times going over a few hundred page catalog. Is there a way I can get the script to save the settings? I do have the latest version, working on a mac. thanks
ps. if Colin is not available and anyone else knows the answer then any help is much appreciated

@Sudhir: Wow, that question really should be in the forum, as it has nothing to do with this blog post. However, this script might help: http://indesignsecrets.com/free-script-to-change-all-numbers-in-a-document-using-math.php

Hi, can any one suggest any script to fix the decimal point font for example ’12.3? to ’12? or ’12.6? to ’13? like that. Please do the needful.

I’ve released a new version of this extension that can batch merge all of the pages in the document. Info can be found here: http://ajarproductions.com/blog/2010/04/03/mergetextframe-for-indesign-has-new-features/

@Robert: Yes, sometimes that happens to me with scripts. I think it depends on the browser? Just hit “Back” and then right-click (or ctrl-click with a one-button mouse) on it and choose to save to disk.

Hi, I tried your link for the merge text frames and all I got was a bunch of java script formula opening up in a new IE browser, is it suppose to do that, cause it did’nt give me the option of downloading anything just opened in a browser.

Thanks

Robert

@joseph: I suggest typing “data merge” into the Search field at the top-right corner of this page. There are many data merge tutorials on this site.
