AppleScript >>

Scripting is the most powerful feature in InDesign CS3. It can save lots of time. Almost anything you can do with the user interface, you can do the same with scripts. There even are a few things you can do in scripting that you cannot do using the user interface. This section lists the objects in alphabetical order, and each object description shows the object’s elements (objects that are contained within the object), properties (attributes of the object), and commands.
