Hi, Shane -- it's the "pest" again... I still get the same error message
"InDesign Error: Can't make rectangle"
I'm pasting the script below (hope it comes across as I typed it), cause I checked real carefully against what you wrote and it seems exactly the same! Maybe you could take another whack at this? Thanks an awful lot!
set theFolder to (choose folder with prompt "choose the folder containing the pic files:")
set the FolderPath to theFolder as Unicode text
set theFileNames to list folder theFolder without invisibles
set picCount to count of items of theFileNames
tell application "InDesign CS"
make document with properties {document preferences:{pages per document:picCount, page height:"11 in", page width:"8.5 in", facing pages:false}}
tell document 1
repeat with i from 1 to picCount
tell page i
set newFrame to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{".5 in", ".5 in.", "10.5 in", "8 in"}}
set thePic to place (theFolderPath & (item i of theFileNames)) on newFrame
fit newFrame given proportionally
fit newFrame given center content
end tell
end repeat
end tell
beep
display dialog "Finished."
end tell
