I would like to get rid off all the groups in my document...

I have the following structure:

TextFrame + Textframe
            |
            + Group + Rectangle + EPS
                    |
                    + Group + TextFrame
                            |
                            + TextFrame
                            |
                            + TextFrame

Document.groups.count returns 0

If I try to ungroup any group I get: "Invalid Parameter"

Basically my code looks like:

For intPageItem = objDoc.AllPageItems.count to 1 step -1
  if typeName (objDoc.AllPageItems.item(intPageItem)) = "Group" then
    objDoc.AllPageItems.item(intPageItem).ungroup
  end if
next

Is there a way to get rid of these groups ?

Many thanks,
Dirk
