How to make a single page in indesign that is auto-adjustable based on the content

Question

Hello everyone, sorry if this has already been answered before.
I am trying to make a single page in indesign that is auto-adjustable based on the content. The content has a header, a footer, and a content area. Depending on the content, I want the page to auto adjust its size. Sometimes the content can be 10 lines, sometimes 50 lines and sometimes 500 lines. In all cases, the page should remain single and auto adjust itself. TIA.

Just sent - thanks!Quick and dirty: '############' script start' (C) www.adobescripts.com'############set myInDi = CreateObject("InDesign.Application")set myDoc = myInDi.ActiveDocumentset mySel = myInDi.Selection.Item(1)call mySel.Fit(1718906723)myDoc.DocumentPreferences.PageHeight = mySel.GeometricBounds(2) - mySel.GeometricBounds(0)myDoc.Pages.Item(1).AppliedMaster = myDoc.MasterSpreads.Item(1)mySel.GeometricBounds = myDoc.Pages.Item(1).Bounds'############' script end'############ One condition - no error checking so "main" TextFrame needs to be pre-selected.
