Hi,Can you post the first lines of your script?It should start with:#target framemaker And how do you run your script?I do this only in FrameMaker via File | Script | Run or History.I am sure that also other methods work, but this is what I do. At the top of the ExtendScript Toolkit window there are some lists.I have selected:FrameMaker 2022 (select your latest version)mainBest regards, Winfried
