Why will this not work on startup?

[cbishop01]

#targetengine "session"   
    var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
    var myStory = myDocument.stories.item(0);
        myStory.trackChanges = true;  

I placed this script in the Startup Script folder but it gives me an error on line 3.  When i have the script in the Normal Script folder and Click on it it works.

You'll need an event listening mechanism to check, if a document is opened and react on that.

You have to realise, that a script in the startup scripts folder is executed immediately when starting InDesign.

At exactly this point in time no document is open. So your code will return an error.

Even if you launch InDesign by double-clicking a document.

Btw. You are asking this in the wrong forum, I think.

A moderator should move this question over to InDesign Scripting
