New script to autofill days, months, and years in tables

This new script makes populating table heads easy
While preparing for an upcoming SMPS seminar, I've been working on ways to streamline the production of gantt charts in InDesign. One of the pain points of this process is populating table headers with "January, February, March…" and "2025, 2026, 2027…" So I whipped up a little script to make this painless.
Just select a range of table cells, and run the free Fill table cells script. A dialog box will appear that allows you to choose options for the starting month, and the format in which the months should appear. There are similar options to autofill days and years (or any numeric sequence of numbers in any increment).
