Fwd: InDesign Override verb

So, I think I've complicated my script even more than I first imagined. The Master Pages are based on other Master Pages in the documents. Do I need to first move through each Master Page, overriding and detaching items, then move on to the Document pages? I still can't figure out how to phrase the command for override either. I'm using the exact example from the dictionary and I get an error every time.

Here's where I'm working from:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	tell active document
		set myPage to page 1
		set myItems to every page item of page 1
		set theResult to override myItems destination page myPage
	end tell
end tell


If I can get this working, I'll need to put the whole thing in a repeat loop.


Thanks for any tips,
David Wolfe

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting my head around how the "override" command works. I need to create a script that will override all master page items, then detach all items from Master, then delete all items from all Master pages. This is in preparation for a user dragging pages from one document to another, to prevent unwanted item duplication.

Could anyone point me in the right direction for these three tasks?

Thanks,
David Wolfe
