Hello folks

I am bit pretty in InDesign scripting so could you please look into this.

How can i change any particular text field in Indesign CS3 document from text file.

I do have find change script but for each InDesign document specific text file is assigned.

So each time i have to modify find change GREP property that is also repetetive of work. Is there any way to get find change information should be extract from external text file.

Many Tanks in advance

In the FindChangeByList script, you could customize the function myFindFile(myFilePath) {...} as to search the FindChangeList text file in the document location rather than the script location. That's an example. The question is: given a document, where will you have the corresponding FindChangeList?
