How to run a script on InDesign startup?

Thank YOU!

i will have my IT guy look at this!

To make a script autorun on InDesign startup, put the script in a subfolder named "Startup Scripts" (under the app or user Scripts folder).

To make a script run on InDesign document opening, attach an event listener to the beforeOpen or afterOpen document event, e.g. (in JS):

app.addEventListener( "beforeOpen" , function(){alert("Opening a document...");} );

Note that the script must have a session persistence (#targetengine 'mysession') if your event handler is enclosed within. You alternately can put the event handler in an external file, then no session scope is required.
