Hi,

all "page building" properties are scriptable;

all these values can be read, let say, from  .txt file or .xls file;

so ==> there is a way.

thanks, just found automating layouts with Data Merge and Easy Catalog plug-in for Indesign, I think it will do the trick, wondering what's the average time to create a catalog template, few hours or days. thanks cs
