Charles, I had some time during lunch. Find attached a new version. The GREP searches now for pairs. The GREP string can be written certainly shorter, but in this case it is more readable. So the GREP will find in the first loop C.E. Darwin, C. E. Darwin, CE Darwin or Darwin, C.E. , Darwin, C. E. and Darwin CE and save the corresponding page. Then it will search for 'DARWIN Charles Erasmus' with a applied paragraph style 'myPStyle' and will insert the page names at the end of the paragraph. If the pargraph had alreday something in brackets, this content will be deleted. So you can run the script multiple times. In the second loop it will find RL Darwin > DARWIN Roqueza Lopena and so on. You can add addtional names or change the GREP expression which determines what is to be found. Because I am only an advanced beginner in Javascript this could maybe be done easier, but this is my way for today . main (); function main() {     var curDoc = app.activeDocument;     var allPages = curDoc.pages;     // [ GREP-Querie, special paragraph ]     var searchList = [          [ "(?i)((C\\. ?E\\.|CE) Darwin)|(Darwin, (C\\. ?E\\.|CE))", "DARWIN Charles Erasmus" ],         [ "(?i)((R\\. ?L\\.|RL) Darwin)|(Darwin, (R\\. ?L\\.|RL))", "DARWIN Roqueza Lopena" ],         [ "(?i)((C\\. ?R\\.|CR) Darwin)|(Darwin, (C\\. ?R\\.|CR))", "DARWIN Charles Robert" ],     ];     // loop through the searchList     for ( var s = 0; s < searchList.length; s++ ) {          app.findGrepPreferences = null;           app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = searchList [0];         var pNumbers = new Array();          // loop through all pages         for ( var p = 0; p < allPages.length; p++ ) {                  var curPage = allPages ;             var tfs = curPage.textFrames;             // loop through all textframes on the current page             for ( var t = 0; t < tfs.length; t++ ) {                      var tf = tfs ;                 if ( tf.contents != "" )  {                     var res = tf.findGrep();                     if ( res.length > 0 ) {                         pNumbers.push( curPage.name );                         break;                     } // if                 } // if             } // tfs         } // allPages         var pageString = pNumbers.join( " " );         alert ( searchList [1] + ": " + pageString );         app.findGrepPreferences = null;         app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat= searchList [1];         app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = curDoc.paragraphStyles.itemByName( "myPStyle" );                var result = curDoc.findGrep();         var para = result[0].paragraphs[0];         // if the paragraph has already content in '[…]' this content will be deleted         if ( para.characters[-2].contents == "]" ) {             app.findGrepPreferences = null;             app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = " +\\[[^\\]]+\\]";             app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = "";             para.changeGrep();                }         para.insertionPoints[-2].contents = " [" + pageString + "]";     } // searchList } // main ...

Hi, what is a book for you? One document or a real Indesign-book-file with several documents? One document: var curDoc = app.activeDocument; var allTables = curDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements(); for ( var t = 0; t < allTables.length; t++ ) {     var curTable = allTables ;     var allRows = curTable.rows;     curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);     curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);     curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);     curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[2]);     curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING); } Several closed documents in a book file: This assumes, that only one book file is open! app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract; var curBook = app.books[0]; var allDocuments = curBook.bookContents; for ( var n = 0; n< allDocuments.length; n++ ) {     var curDoc = app.open( File( allDocuments .fullName ) );         var allTables = curDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();     for ( var t = 0; t < allTables.length; t++ ) {         var curTable = allTables ;         var allRows = curTable.rows;         curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);         curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);         curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[8]);         curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, allRows[2]);         curTable.rows.add(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);     }      // optional     // curDoc.save();     // curDoc.close(); }   app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll; ...

This column-break thing seems bugy. I have no idea why only the last two characters are found. If I try to find a whole word with \w+ that does not work. I get also weird results if I try \b\w+~M. The good news is, that InDesign does not crash here. However: There is no GREP for search a specific line, so I would search for a columnbreak and then for the line that belongs to the current found: app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "~M";  var found = app.activeDocument.findGrep();  if (found.length > 0) { for ( var i = 0; i < found.length; i++ ) {   var curFound = found;   var curLine = curFound.lines[0];    curLine.fillColor = app.activeDocument.swatches[4]; } } ...
