InDesign does support applescripting. Why not post your question in the InDesign Scripting forum?

I didn't notice that they had a scripting forum group. But I will post it now, Thanks!

It doesn't? For example:
Seems I have seen many examples of Rob providing applescript support to people.

4. Re: I have a quarkXpress apple script that I would like to convert over to InDesign
I guess I should have asked if anyone knows of a person or company that would convert my quarkxpress script over to use with InDesign. It's been awhile since I've used applescript and I really dont have the time to spend fumbling around trying to figure it out. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

There exist so many InDesign scripts, most JS. Ask what function you want to have script, I am pretty sure it still exists. I doubt that converting a script from a program with a complete different structure might work in InDesign in any way.

I'm sure the code will have to be rewritten. I was hoping they could use mine for an example to go by. I'm look for someone to give me a quote on writting a script based on what I already have.
The script will have to format the text - based on how many words are in a paragraph or if the paragraph starts with a letter (item number) and ends with a number (price).
Get image and embed into the text - based on the first word of the paragraph which would be the item number and embed image above the paragraph. And all the images are named itemnumber.jpg

You can probably hire someone if you post over in the scripting forum. Most of the scripters will be writing Javascript because it is cross platform, but both APIs are comprehensive. If you want to post it here I'll take a look.
