I haven’t tested in CS5.5, but have you tried the linked stories feature in CS5.5?

It’s not exactly the same (i.e. the changes are not bi-directional, and the updates are not in real-time), but I think that it would render this script somewhat redundant…

I am in middle of a job where I need to insert small amounts of text that was in an rtf file throughout a document. Until now I had the rtf file placed into a separate ID doc and was constantly switching documents.

Now with these scripts all I had to do was right a script to bring the rtf onto the pasteboard of the first page. Then I ran the story cloner script and then I wrote a script to duplicate the frame that had the rtf text on the first page to every single spread.

Now I can easily insert the small amounts of text throughout the document and every single frame will update.

Thanks Harbs!

@Amaltra:

No. Currently it only works for stories within the same document.
