Fit guides to margin

Hi All,
I am working on InDesign CS3.
We can create a guide  manually by using Layout>Create Guides menu items then a dialog is popup and ask following things
1.  Row or Column Guide
2. Number of Guides
3. Gutter
4. "Fit to Page" or  "Fit To Margin"
I can create a guide by processing the command kNewGuideCmdBoss, In this command I can specify the orientation of guide (Horizontal for rows and vertical for columns)
(1) & (2) are handled by this command.
(3) is also solved
On (4)
By default this command fits the guide to page
fit guides to margin?
To handle this I process the command kSetGuideFitToPageCmdBoss by settings it IBoolData interface to false and true but it didn't not helped me
Anybody solved this problem then please let me know
Thanks and Regards,
Alam

Hi All,
I have used kNewGuideCmdBoss command for creating a guide.
I need to handle two cases for creating guide
1. Fit To Page
2. Fit To Margin.
I haven't found any option in this command to handles the above two scenerio
If anybody have the solution/Idea then please help me
Thanks & Regards,

  • Best Buy's Vehicle Fit guide question

    I want to install a car stereo in my 2007 ford explorer 4 door, heres the stereo I want to install,   
                                                                                http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9197111&type=product&id=1218056226183
    It said it would fit, then I checked again a while later, and it said it doesn't fit, I don't get this, I heard their fit guide is very inaccurate, does it fit?  I hope so, any help would be great.  I actually ordered it off another site  for 185 dollars, much cheaper than what best buy wanted, and this is just the stereo, instalation is another 90 bucks I believe. 
    Just to mention one thing, best buy wouldn't let me post the message because it said "The message body contains ______, which is not permitted in this community. Please remove this content before sending your post."  Weird.  I can't type the word out, it won't let me post if I do, but a hint, its the name of a rain forest in brazil.

    Hello alex145,
    While we do our best to provide accurate information about which mobile audio equipment will fit in your vehicle, occasionally the information can be conflictory as you discovered.  When this occurs, it's best to consult the manufacturer -- Pioneer in this case -- for their recommendations.  Their response would be definitive.  I hope this helps.

  • Fit Guide Problem

    BB fit guide says that Jenson VM9412 does not fit my truck ('04 Dodge 1500 Quad) but Crutchfeild says it fits. The radio specs say it is DIN wich is what should fit my truck. I want to buy it from BB for the price but not sure what to do. Any help?

    The pink brakelight wire is necessary.  On most units it can be hooked up to a ground instead and it will make it so you do not have to have the brake on to watch video.  Shops are legally not allowed to let your car leave without it hooked up properly.  However if you ask most local install shops before they install it they will hook up a wire with a wire connector attached under the dash by your brake pedal, and then you just unattach the wire that goes from the unit to the brake light and connect it to the wire they left for you with the connector on it.  Then you don't have to have the brake on to watch, and the shop is not liable for installing it illegally.
    I always have any equipment I don't install my self done by a local car stereo shop.  I'm not sayin that all big stores (BB, C City, HH Greg, etc.) are the same but I have heard SO many horror stories from them.  They do not require much experience to work there installing, and most local shops are involved in competitions, shows, etc.  So they have experience doing all kinds of stuff.
    And don't use the BB car fit guide.  Its garbage.  ALWAYS use Crutchfield's, or ask a local shop.

  • Fit Table width/height to Margin

    It would be a great handy feature if the table width could be fitted to the margin of the page.
    Moreover 'tables' need some more extra features like : distribute rows/column evenly to fit table width/height. At present this feature extends the table width/height when applied. Once I fix the width and height of the table, distribute rows/column must fit to that width/height only. The table should only extend when I add rows or column.

  • Fitting text to new margins

    In indesign CS3...when you change the margins in the master and apply the changes to the document...how do you automatically change the text frame to fit the new margins? I can do it manually, but my document is 590 pages long.
    Thanks,
    Jana

    Gee cool, thanks.
    Wish there was some video or book specifically for creating books in indesign
    Perhaps I might bother you for one more question if you are up for it.
    I needed to put more gutter space on the inside of the pages as the book is so big...
    is there any publishing difference between putting more space on the inside margin itself or on the gutter, or simply more on both?

  • Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line.

    Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line::::::::::::
    Yes, there are so many pages on-line that -- when made small enough to fit within the margins so one does no have to use a scroll bar on EVERY line, moving it back and forth, back and forth -- look like a FINE-print Bible page (!! tiny !!) if you keep reducing it to fit within the margins.
    ALL because we cannot find a place to tell it to WRAP to FIT. Could have sworn I've seen some feature like that somewhere at one time, but if it is here, I cannot find it.
    Thank you.

  • Smart Guides CS4

    I'm studying up on inDesign CS4 though Adobe TV.  Deke's tutorial on making a text frame shows the frame snaping to guidelines and margins.  The dimension arrows appear indicating the frame area is complete top to bottom, left to right.
    My settings have snap to guides and smart guides both turned on (check mark).  However, the only time I see the dimensions arrows is when I snap to the edge of the page.
    I'm snapping to guides and margins, but the arrows do not appear.  Am I missing a setting?

    I understand now.  Thanks!

  • Print PictureBox image to fit on A4 paper?

    please? and this is the last code that i used         private void print_bt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
                try
                    string p_height = "1100";// height of A4 paper size

    Hi
    hunar abubakir,
    Could you show me your screen capture on your side? It could be better to help us understand your scenario more clearly.
    Now based on your code, What I first think of in my mind is that I doubt the width is more than 827. So please try to debug your code to see whether the width size
    is appropriate.
    By the way, Are you sure the A4 size is (827, 1169)?
    If your picture size is ok, another possibility is the setting of printer.  Using
    Margins(0, 0, 0, 0) to set the border. But still will meet result in the edge getting cut off in the printer.
    Some similar scenario like yours
    Margin Bounds Wider & Taller In PrintDocument.Print() Than In PrintPreviewDialog.ShowDialog()
    Here is a way to print Borderless on your printer, It is Inkjet Printer. My suggestion is you could ask your IT department for better help.

  • Having txt issues fitting in a pdf file from word

    having issues fitting my txt fit is the margins of a pdf flie after pasting from word

    With the WORD/AA combination you have your only choice is to open WORD and print to the Adobe PDF printer. Acrobat 10 was written to take care of the newer versions of WORD and PDF Maker no longer is able to work with older versions of WORD, at least not WORD 2002. PDF Maker is also used if you try to open a DOC file directly in Acrobat, so again you would get a failure. Again, you have only 1 choice to get the PDF.

  • Won't print centered from photoshop for my private business

    My sister and I have started a small private business for design, including logos, invitations, business cards ect. We are running into problems while trying to print front and back on our Epson r3000 printer as well as our small canon printer whenever we use photoshop to print. I have tried scale to fit media, changing margins, clicking "Center Image" button, but when we feed it back through to print on the opposite side and use the same settings, the front and back are milometers to centimeters off at times. When we use our paper cutter we then either cut off some of the design or have a white edge... It is very inconvenient and we have an order of 300 invitations that need to be finished and sent to the customer early next week. Please, help would be much appreciated.

    Are you feeding in the same leading edge of the paper?
    If your printer has side guides, do you remember to switch (from left on the front to right on the backup) so that the same edge is used for reference when feeding in the sheet?

  • Photoshop: Making a text box with color or border.

    How do you fill a text box in Photoshop?
    Answer: You CAN’T.
    Solution:  You CAN do anything you want in Photoshop -we know it’s GREAT - but the steps are not always so easy.  See below for solutions to making it seem that the text box is filled with color, bordered, semi-tansparent etc.
    In Photoshop, a text box is mostly about the text inside and less about the box that surrounds it.  In other words, the box is always transparent and all effects apply to the font shapes typed inside by the user.  Photoshop (CS4) can produce incredible, professional, amazing text images. No Doubt About It!
    A Photoshop text box can display one of two types of bounding boxes: 
    Its OBJECT bounding box is there for moving the whole text layer, rotating it, duplicating it and distorting.  Clicking once on the text layer pallet and selecting the move tool (v) will produce this bounding box.  The direct selection tool (a) won’t recognize it.  Note:  If you try to resize the box as an object, it also distorts/stretches the text inside.  This can make cool effects but usually you want the text to stay the way the font was designed.  See: Layers>Type>Warp Text.
    The TEXT bounding box is there for highlighting, re-typing and selecting the margins of the actual text/paragraph etc.  Selecting the text tool and clicking over existing text will produce this bounding box.
    Some features are accessible in either mode.
    The Photoshop text tool has two types of cursors:
    The NEW text box cursor looks like a text insertion cursor (often seen in word processing) WITH a dotted box around it.
    To produce the new text box cursor just select the text tool and move over to a new work area.
    The EDIT text cursor looks very much like the ordinary cursor people are familiar with (no dotted box). 
    To produce the edit text tool, hover the text tool over EXISTING text and the cursor changes to the simple insertion shape (without the dotted box).  A click now will put you into text editing mode, not new text box mode.  This drove me batty for a while because I was used to clicking anywhere inside an existing text box and the blinking cursor would pop in automatically - usually at the end of the last letter.  This doesn’t happen in Photoshop; if that NEW text box tool is active, it will try to place a new box anywhere you click sometimes overlapping another.
    When in this mode (edit existing text) you can carefully hover the arrow to the edges of the text box and resize the bounding box without altering the shape of the text itself.  This is how you make the text box larger or smaller to fit/accommodate your needs.  You can also highlight text, insert between words/letters.  Highlighted text is available for changing its font, color, size, cutting/pasting etc. 
    To get OUT of the EDIT text mode, click the check box on the tool column above or type enter (not return) or type cmd-return (MAC), ctrl-return (WIN).  If you want to cancel any changes to an existing text box click the ex-circle on the tool column or press the esc key (top left of keyboard-escape key)
    OK, THE MAIN POINT:
    To make an effect that looks like a text box that is filled, bordered, semi-transparent etc., you will have to create an object shape (box) and place it just behind (under) the text box.  Linking the two allows you to move them around easily.  The drawback is that, when you need a larger box, you’ll have to alter the size of both boxes and possibly re-center them to each other (I know it’s sort of dumb to have so many steps just to get a shaded text box or bordered one.)
    Begin by selecting the Rectangle shape tool and draw a shape on the screen of any size.  In the layers pallet a layer is created with two items (layer thumbnail and vector mask) Double click the one on the left the layer thumbnail).  Change its color to a light one such as baby blue or yellow.
    Now select the text tool and click once over that shape.  A text box is created exactly the same size of the rectangle (any shape will work too).
    Type some text into that box and change the font type, size and color to something you might use regularly.  Check to see that the text color is black (can be changed later).  The text automatically wraps around when you reach the edge of this box and fits well (inside margins can be altered by pixel later).
    Now link the two boxes to one another.  Shift-click each layer in the layers pallet to select both and choose the link button at the bottom of the window for layers or go to Layers>Link Layers.  Now when you move one it will move the other too!
    Using the paragraph tools you can center text, indent first line, and add space between paragraphs.  Except the first paragraph seems too close to the top of the colored rectangle; doesn’t it?  Photoshop won’t add extra leading (horizontal space) between the text box and the top of the first paragraph.
    There are two ways to fix this:
    1.     Select the text tool and click inside the existing text then hover the pointer just above the little box/tab in the top center of that rectangle and bring it down just a bit.
    2.     Or you could unlink the two layers (to unlink just click link again while one of the two layers is selected in pallet) and move the colored rectangle up just a bit.
    In the first instance it was not necessary to unlink the boxes.  This is the advantage because altering the colored rectangle without unlinking will distort your text as will altering the text box if you are not in object text mode (see intro.)
    Ok, some advantages:
    Now that you have this set up you can use the background box (colored rectangle) to make other effects.  Select it as a separate layer but you won’t have to unlink it.  To make the box semi-transparent change either the layer OPACITY or the layer FILL (found in the layer pallet).
    To create a border box:
    1.     Select the colored rectangle box and under Layers>Styles>Blending Options (or just double click in an open area of the layer pallet for that shape.)
    2.     Select Stroke, change:  Fill Type color, Color black, Size 4, Position inside, Blend Mode normal, Opacity 100%. Click OK/Apply
    3.     Back in the layer pallet, change the Fill to 0% and you will just have a border with attached text box.  You may have to alter the inside text box again depending on the thickness of that border especially if you made the Position to be inside to keep the sharpness of the rectangle.
    4.     Yes this will work with other shapes and even custom shapes.  Remember to draw the shape first and immediately place a new text box over it BEFORE any other alteration is done.  This ensures that Photoshop creates a text box exactly the same size/dimension of your chosen shape.  It even makes margins fit irregular shapes like triangles.
    5.     Try it!

    There. I fixed that for you.

  • Best Buy Rewards Elite Member was Lied to and severely mistreated by BESTBUY

    BEWARE TO ALL CUSTOMERS WHO READ THIS.....Beware of lying BB salespeople and condescending BB Managers.
    The following excerpts are my (an 'Elite' customer) attempts to open a dialog with the management at BESTBUY. A month has gone by now, I have sent the following information 7-9 times and this "company" has yet to reply. If you are a potential BB customer please read this and realize that when BB salespeople tell you something you must take their words with a grain of salt and all the while think of them as, well, Used Car Salespeople. If you are in fact BB Management you should know after reading this that I was one of those valued customers that you spend $MILLIONS$ each year to attract and do nothing to EARN. I have spent a ton O' cash over the last few years at BB on 3 Big Sceens, 2 i7 Computers, all of our iPhones, multiple office printers, 3 years of GEEK SQUAD memberships, 2 Kindle Fires, 2 iPad minis, 1 surround sound system, 2 BluRay players, Many software packages and finally ONE REMOTE CAR STARTER which is the reason for my initial query.
    --THE FOLLOWING IS THE CORRESPONDENCE THAT I SENT REPEATEDLY TO BESTBUY--
    Best Buy Management,
    I have now sent 3 emails to your “Lisa.Smith” email address and after about two weeks have not yet received a reply. What do I need to do to get a reply from Best Buy. I’ve spent thousands of dollars (That’s $1000.00’s) and now feel that I am being severely disrespected by the management at Best Buy. I don’t make threats but I am very disappointed in that fact that I have been so loyal as a customer to a company that seems not to care about me as a customer at all. It’s odd that someone can spend so much money to a company thinking that such loyalty would be rewarded, only to be ignored and disrespected.
    I am very well connected and respected in the media in St. Louis as well as in all social media and I do not want to use those platforms to air this out but I will if I don’t get a response from Best Buy.
    The following is the entire initial email that includes what has transpired to this point:
    Hi Lisa,
    My name is Ken {removed per forum guidelines}. I am a “My Best Buy” Elite member and my acct.# is @@@@@. In the past I have purchased thousands of dollars worth of products from Best Buy. I have always been a loyal Best Buy customer and I’m writing you today to ask that I receive the same respect, loyalty and trust that I have given to Best Buy over the years.
    Last December I went to the Best Buy on Watson Road in St. Louis, Missouri looking for an item for my wife for Christmas called a Viper 2-way Remote Start System, model number 4806v. I saw it at BestBuy.com. I went back to the area where you keep this item and the sales guy was really nice and helped me find the only one that you had left in stock. I told him that I wanted to have this installed in my wife’s car. I told him the year and model of the car, (2007 Toyota Rav 4) and asked if this was all that I needed or if I had to pay for installation. The salesman told me that their was no additional charge for installation. He said that all I needed to do is purchase the product and take the box home today. Give the present to my wife and then have her set up an appointment to have the remote system installed. He said that it could take as much as 3 hours and I was fine with that.
    Today, my wife called the local Best Buy on Watson to set up an appointment to have the remote installed in her car and the sales guy on the phone told her that they could do it on February 23rd but there would be an additional charge of $250.00 since there were other parts that were needed to have this product installed in a Toyota Rav 4. My wife called me to tell me what was said and I then called and asked for a manager to discuss this issue.
    A manager named Tim got on the phone. I explained everything to Tim as I have written in this email. After listening to me, Tim was very brief and simply said; “So, I can give you a refund for your purchase if you have the receipt.” I told him that I was happy with the product and my wife really wanted this in her car, I just needed to know how I could get it installed for the price that we originally agreed on. He asked if I remembered the salesperson’s name and I told him that I didn’t but was it listed on the receipt? He said “No the salesperson’s name was not listed on the receipt.” Tim said that I couldn’t get the item installed in my wife’s car unless I paid the extra $250.00 or I could get a refund. He added that if he gave 200 dollar installations to every customer who called and claimed they were told this then Best Buy would go out of business. I asked Tim if he was calling me a liar and he said no but I should understand why he can’t simply believe every customer who calls to complain. I asked him to be reasonable and let the installation go as originally agreed on and Tim said that he would not allow this but I could get a refund. I asked him if I could talk with someone higher up and he said that there wasn’t anyone higher up that I would be able to talk to. He said that those decisions stop with him. I told him that he was being very disrespectful considering all that I purchased from his location and he was silent for a second and then replied, “So, do you want a refund?” I told him not at this time but I would be calling his Corporate office and he replied with “Have a nice day.”
    I then got online and found the BestBuy number “1-888-237-8289” and called it. I finally got to a live person who was very nice and they attempted to get me in contact with customer relations. The online salesperson kept coming back to me saying “don’t hang up I’m just trying to get a number to call.” She then told me that she was trying to get “Justin” on the phone to help me. After literally 15+ minutes Justin got on the line, he asked my name and then the phone beeped twice and hung up.
    I was shocked but repeated the process above. After again waiting on the phone the online salesperson get me in touch with Customer relations. I started to speak to the person in CR and again, the phone beeped twice and hung up.
    I tried a third time, explained everything in this email so far to the new online salesperson and she gave me the extension number to call if this happens again. It happened again.
    I again called and asked the next online salesperson to connect me with x@@@. She said that they weren’t picking up but they were having some phone issues. She then gave me your email address and told me to tell you everything that I told her.
    Here we are.
    Please let me know what I need to do from here. If you look up my account you will see the extensive list of purchases that I have made from Best Buy. I believe that I have more than displayed my willingness to pay fair prices for good quality items but I will not be “bait and switched.” I think that the manager Tim had it wrong. He won’t go out-of-business if he helps qualified customers but he will if continues to treat good customers with such disrespect.
    Thank You and I look forward to your reply.

    ---POST NOTE-- For me, it's not about the $$$$ but about the way Tim talked to me and my wife. I have a wife and 11 and 15 year-olds. I estimate between them and I we will be spending well over $10,000.00 over the next four years for electronics and related services. The only question is will I be spending it at BEST BUY? After all of this, would you?
    Please respond as soon as possible.
    Thank You,

    Welcome to the forum, iChannel, and thank you for being an Elite My Best Buy member!
    Minnesota winters can be bitterly cold, and I can imagine having a remote starter installed in my car would be amazing. It was very nice of you to purchase one for your wife, and I’m sure she was absolutely thrilled to have it installed. It’s regrettable to hear that some additional installation requirements came as such a shock to you though, and I truly apologize if we failed to properly explain the necessary costs associated with our car services.  
    When helping you figure out the essentials for a particular car installation, we go by a fit guide of sorts to provide you a cost estimate of the service. We do this by narrowing down the year, make, and model of your car and figuring out what components are necessary for the service you are wishing to purchase. It sounds like our associate who helped you find the stereo you were looking for may have been unaware of this guide, and consequently, may have provided you some inaccurate information regarding our services.  This could explain why one of our certified auto technicians may have told your wife additional parts and payment were required to perform the remote starter installation.
    No matter the situation though, our associates and managers should always be kind and courteous when assisting you, and I’m sorry if we were less than helpful when trying to work this out with you. It’s clear to me this situation has been far from ideal, and while I cannot erase what’s already transpired, I’d appreciate the opportunity to try to assist you. Please know I’ve sent you a private message to collect some further information from you to see what options we may have available to us. You may view it by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
    Thank you for posting,

  • Incorrect Number of Pages Printing - Custom Paper Size

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to Crystal Reports but have recently become responsible for supporting a report that my office has been using for several years.  We utilize a fairly simple Crystal Report to create temporary and guest parking passes in the parking services department of my University.  These passes simply take some data from our internal database and add the current and calculated expiration dates - again, pretty simple.  These passes are then printed on a custom paper stock roughly the size of a #10 envelope that has a hole in the paper to hang around a car's rear view mirror.  This solution has been working for years but we have recently run into a very annoying problem.
    The passes are being printed from our four customer service computers.  Each computer is identical - an HP dc7900 workstation running Windows XP SP3 and Crystal Reports 11.  The computers also have identical printers; HP DeskJet 6940s.  A couple of weeks ago the customer service representatives who handle the parking passes started experiencing a problem.  When they would print a the report (the temporary or guest pass) the printer would occasionally pick up the custom page, make a strange grinding noise, and spit the page out without printing.  It was only by putting the paper back in a second or third time that the pass would actually print.  This problem seems to happen randomly with some people experiencing the problem more than others.
    Like I mentioned before, this method of creating the passes has been working for several years.  We have been using the same Crystal Report and the same printers.  One of the four CSRs has not experienced any problems with her printing - the passes come out of the printer correctly every time.  Other CSRs are able to specify only printing page 1 and the pass will print correctly; even though it is only a one page report to start with.  There is only one CSR who has the problem most frequently - about 80% of the time - and she cannot use the "print page 1" technique.  We have tried to figure out what sets her apart from the others but they should all have identical machines.
    In troubleshooting the problem I have attempted everything I could think of.  Our first thought was to clean the printer or swap it out with a spare, but this did not solve the problem.  Since it was happening on multiple computers, we thought the report was to blame.  We checked to make sure all of the data was fitting withing the margins, there were no extra sections or section breaks, and that the report had not been corrupted somehow.  We also tried to create a new report from scratch - again none of these actions helped.  I then tried to upgrade one computer to all of the latest updates available for Crystal Reports 11 from the website.  These updates did not solve the problem either.  The final straw was to re-image the computer to a known good state, but this did not help.
    Since we are still not sure of the root cause of the problem I have posted a similar topic on HP's customer support forum.  I was hoping that someone in the Crystal Reports community may have some insight into my problems as well.  I have searched through the forums previously and that's where I got many ideas including updating, checking for hidden/over sized text, changing the print engine, and turning of Data Execution Prevention.  However, none of these suggestions improved our situation.  Does anyone have any insights as to what could be causing our problem?  It is getting very annoying for the CSRs and I feel bad that I have not been able to come up with a solution for them.
    To recap, here are my environment specifications:
    -Crystal Reports 11
    -Windows XP Service Pack 3 + all available Windows Updates
    -HP dc7900 Workstations
    -HP DeskJet 6940 printers connected through USB
    -Microsoft Office 2007
    -McAfee Anti-Virus 8.7i
    I appreciate any help or guidance anyone can provide.  Thank you in advance for your support.
    Jeff

    The "strange grinding noise" leads me to believe it is the printer or paper stock.  I know you said you changed printers, but did you swap the printer having the problem with the one that never does?  My HP color laserjet makes a strange grinding noise now that the fuser needs to be replaced (which I will be doing this weekend).  Usually the louder the noise, the worse the printout looks...
    Nothing in Crystal should cause a printer noise...
    HTH,

  • How do you change the default Page Handling/Page Scaling settings?

    Hello, I use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard. I work in the construction industry, so it is important drawings are printed to scale. when I go to print an A3 landscape pdf the page handling > page scaling settings automatically default to 'Fit to Printer Margins' - which then throws out the scale of the drawing content. I can manually change this setting to 'None' each time I print, but this is not fool proof as I sometimes forget.
    Is there a way to change the default setting for this property? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Script to autoflow multiple text files?

    A publisher I'm working with is being slowed down by a necessary change to their workflow. Maybe there's a script around to help? I've looked but can't find any, so I'm posting here.
    Old workflow: Designers would autoflow a single, large Word doc that contained all front matter (sometimes >10 diff. sections) and chapters and endnotes into a book template.
    New workflow: The Word doc is now broken up into 30-40 InCopy files, still destined for a single InDesign layout doc. (The InCopy files were created from a tagged Word doc by a different system, so they're all new to the InDesign user.)
    Is there a script that, after the designers load a Place cursor with the 30-40 files (in the correct order), will allow them to single-click on page 1, and InDesign will place one after the other of the files, autoflowing as necessary? They still need them to be placed as individual InCopy files (so concatenating first wouldn't help). I don't think there would ever be a case of 2 stories being on the same page.
    thanks,
    AM

    Hi AnneMarie,
    This script will allow you to select a bunch of files, and will attempt to place them, one by one, into your InDesign document. It will auto-flow them as needed (although watch out for permanent overset problems -- because the script does not test for that).
    I've tested this with a bunch of assets, but not with InCopy files because I don't have any. If they're placeable like Word documents, the script should run fine.
    Let us know if it all works properly for you.
    // BS"D
    // Multi-file auto-place
    // An InDesign Script by Ariel, (c) Id-Extras.com, 2014
    // This script will allow the user to select a bunch of placeable files (Word docs, etc.)
    // It will then attempt to place and auto-flow all the selected files.
    // The script will start from page 1 of the active document
    // and keep adding pages as needed.
    // It will add text frames as needed, within the margins of the page.
    // IMPORTANT: There is no error-checking for perpetual overflow!!!
    // So, if something you're trying to place cannot fit within the margins,
    // The script will continue adding pages to InDesign until it crashes.
    // To quit the script, press ESC.
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
    myFiles = File.openDialog("Select files to place...", undefined, true),
    i,
    currentPage = myDoc.pages[0],
    prevFrame,
    myFrame;
    for (i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++){
    myFrame = addFrame(currentPage);
    myFile = myFiles[i];
    try{
      myFrame.place(myFile, false);
    catch(e){
      alert("Unable to place file: "+myFile, "Multi-file auto-place");
      continue;
    while (myFrame.overflows){
      currentPage = addPageAfter(currentPage);
      prevFrame = myFrame;
      myFrame = addFrame(currentPage);
      prevFrame.nextTextFrame = myFrame;
    currentPage = addPageAfter(currentPage);
    function addFrame(aPage){
    var pageMargins = aPage.marginPreferences,
      aFrame = aPage.textFrames.add(),
      areFacing = app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.facingPages,
      myTop = aPage.bounds[0]+pageMargins.top,
      myBottom = aPage.bounds[2]-pageMargins.bottom,
      myLeft = aPage.bounds[1]+pageMargins.left,
      myRight = aPage.bounds[3]-pageMargins.right;
    //When document.documentPreferences.facingPages == true,
    //"left" means inside; "right" means outside.
    if (areFacing && aPage.side == PageSideOptions.LEFT_HAND){
       myLeft = aPage.bounds[1]+pageMargins.right;
       myRight = aPage.bounds[3]-pageMargins.left;
    aFrame.geometricBounds = [myTop, myLeft, myBottom, myRight];
    return aFrame;
    function addPageAfter(aPage){
    return myDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, aPage);
