Beyond the basics

At this point, you know how to create a document, set up master page items, enter text, import text, create
and apply paragraph styles, create and apply object styles, import graphics, fit graphics to frames, and
apply a text wrap. While the document we created is not likely to win any design awards, you have learned
the basics of InDesign scripting. In each example, we created objects, set object properties, and used
object methods.
For your next step in learning about InDesign scripting, see the Adobe InDesign CS4 Scripting Guide. It offers
more advanced tutorials on constructing documents, formatting text, finding and changing text, building
