Thanks Olav!

This is what I have now:


set cPageNum to active page of layout window 1 of myDocument
set cPageNum to name of cPageNum
tell page cPageNum of myDocument
	set imageTop to item (3) of bounds
	set imageLeft to item (4) of bounds
	set imageTop to imageTop - imageTop + 10
	set imageLeft to imageLeft - 110
end tell


The identifies the active page, then redefines cPageNum as the name which would be "2" if page 2 is the active page. Instead of placing the new box to the right of the active page (which would drop the box on the opposite page), I set the origin of to-be-created frame to be just inside the inside top right of the active page.

My next challenge is determining when the value returned is odd or even. The result would then determine whether to place the frame to the left of an odd page, or the right of an even page. How could I check that?

Do I run an if statement asking whether cPageNum is divisible by 2? Would it look something like this:

set cPageNum to active page of layout window 1 of myDocument
set cPageNum to name of cPageNum
tell page cPageNum of myDocument
	if cPageNum is odd then
		set imageTop to item (3) of bounds
		set imageLeft to item (4) of bounds
		set imageTop to 0
		set imageLeft to imageLeft imageLeft - 110
	else
		set imageTop to item (3) of bounds
		set imageLeft to item (4) of bounds
		set imageTop to 0
		set imageLeft to imageLeft + 10
	end if
end tell

I know that odd is not the correct syntax. What would help me determine that?
