Hi. Yup, I'm a newbie, so I apologise for that.
I've written a script that grabs field data from FileMaker, copies it to the clipboard and then pastes it into an InDesign document. What I want to do next is apply a specific font (type, style, size, etc) to the copied text. ie each block of text pasted from the clipboard needs to have whatever font settings I require.
So far I am grabbing the FileMaker data correctly and pasting it into InDesign but I can't change the font settings - "unable to change font to "Helvetica" type errors on compiling.
I've searched for what seem like an age - could someone help me out here?
Cheers!
