Script to Number Footnotes in a Book Continuously across Documents

Here's a quick and somewhat dirty AppleScript to synchronize continuous footnote numbers throughout the documents of an InDesign book, optionally syncing "Type > Document Footnote Options" as well.  It's not particularly elegant or robust, but it works and might also serve as a good jumping off point for your needs.

I've attached it as a text file as the forum won't permit apps.  You'll need to open it in /Applications/Utilities/Script Editor and save it as an app.

I'll be happy to answer questions should anyone have any.
