As I said it's tricky, and I don't have the inclination to write the code for you. Partly because the ScriptUI (the system you used for your interface) is slowly degrading, and Adobe aren't going to do anything about it.   Try and find a script writer who'll do it for you in ScriptUI or redo it entirely in UXP.   Sorry I can't be of more help.   ...

Adding scrollbars to that kind of window layout is tricky. You'll find an example in here: https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/scriptui.html In there you can also find how to change the space between buttons. ... View more

To match everything between those two words, do this:   (?s)REFERENCES\r\K.+(?=CHAPTER)   The default is that the dot doesn't match paragraph breaks. That can be overruled by (?s).   As for the amount of text that can be matched, there was a restriction a few versions ago of 32K characters. What is the limit in your tests? ... View more

That's the problem I had with the original expression in my Grep book (it's still there, in fact). The query I posted above doesn't have that problem, but then, you can't use it in a Grep style.     ... View more

Strange that it works with \b but not with \z (end of story). That means that it won't work in tables either. ... View more

Just for the record: Jean-Marc's solution works for 4-, 5, and 6-digit numbers. For numbers that consist of 7 or more digits you can't use a Grep style, you'll have to use a query like the one I posted. ... View more

To insert thousand separators, use this query: Find what: (\d{1,3})(?=(\d\d\d)+\b) Change to: $1, Instead of the comma in the 'Change to' string, use the character you need (one of the space characters I guess).   It's not possible to do this with a Grep style because Grep styles can't insert characters. ...

I have nothing selected in the document, and in the Tools panel, the selection tool is active.   Then I do   d = app.documents[0]; app.select(d.pages[2]); app.select(d.pages[4],SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);   And when I then do app.selection, an array with the two selected pages is returned. No invoke() needed. ... View more

With nothing selected in the document, and some pages selected in the Pages panel,, app.selection returns undefined. So pages selected in the Pages panel are not exposed to scripting.   Only when you use the Page tool from the Tools panel to select some pages does app.selection return the selected pages.   Sure, you can use app.select() to create an array of selected pages. And then app.selection returns that array. ... View more

The answer to your question is No, in order to set the composer you needn't reinstall InDesign. The World composers are needed for other languages than the Middle-Eastern ones as well, such as the South-East Asian languages. And it works fine for English too.   To get access to ME features there's no need to reinstall InDesign, a simple tweak exposes the ME menus: https://github.com/jackweekes/InDesign-Feature-Set-Locale-Switcher   Furthermore, the ME (and Japanese) features are exposed to scripting, so you could even use the standard non-ME InDesign and use some scripts to set Right-to-Left features. Soe of these scripts are simple one-liners. Look around on the web for them. ... View more

Here's a script that reorders the documents in an INDB book file based on the folio of the first page of the documents.   The script assumes that 1. All documents are in the book file (it doesn't matter whether any documents are open) 2. All documents start with an Arabic number.     list = []; bookConts = app.books[0].bookContents.everyItem().getElements(); for (i = 0; i < bookConts.length; i++) { list.push ({ indd: bookConts[i].fullName, folio: parseInt (bookConts[i].documentPageRange), }); } list.sort (function (a,b) { return a.folio - b.folio; }); app.books[0].bookContents.everyItem().remove(); for (i = 0; i < list.length; i++) { app.books[0].bookContents.add (list[i].indd); }         ...

A script can re-order the files in a book based on the folio of the first page in each document. It could be easier: create just a book, then a script can add all indd files to to book ordered by folio.   Are all folios Arabic or can you have Roman numbers as well, or even folios with a section prefix? ...
