Comments on: Story Cloner Script Synchronizes Text in a Snap http://indesignsecrets.com/story-cloner-script-synchronizes-text-in-a-snap.php InDesignSecrets Blog and Podcast Thu, 24 May 2012 17:46:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Harbs http://indesignsecrets.com/story-cloner-script-synchronizes-text-in-a-snap.php/comment-page-1#comment-476366 Harbs Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:49:04 +0000 http://indesignsecrets.com/?p=2986#comment-476366 Thanks for the post! One point: I've tested the script on a Clone Set of about 200 stories. On my computer (MacBook 2.4 GHz w/ 2GB RAM), in CS4, it took about 5 seconds for all the stories to update. Not bad considering that InDesign runs 200 different scripts... ;) The size of the story should not make that much difference, but you do need to be careful if creating stories more text frames for a Clone Instance that subsequent text frames should be created by duplicating the first -- otherwise the stories will not be updated automatically. I hope to update the script to be able to sync stories across different documents, but that will have to wait until I have some spare time... Thanks for the post!
