This is/was a great feature. It has been removed in CS4. The work around that David Blatner links to is nowhere as functional as InDesign Contact Sheets.

InDesign Contact Sheets worked fine in CS2, them somebody screwed them up in CS3 be adding all kinds of strokes that had to be removed with Object Styles. Instead of fixing the screw up Adobe just removed the feature all together. Thanks Adobe, you just gave me one more reason to not upgrade to CS4.

This works great in CS3! Thanks!
If i just think how many DAYS I have spent building contact sheets manually in CorelDRAW… this is a great tool!

Just attended an InDesign Group meeting last night with HAZ from Aquent and Adobe – gave this same presentation also in a CS3. Fabulous.
There is a workaround in CS4 – Check out David Blatner -

Hm. Thoughts about what to do in CS4? I believe this script was removed in CS4. (There's a workaround, sort of, here.) Frustrating.
