Oleg--

Ah, yes, I thought I might have to read the selection into an array, but didn't test it. (I think it did work at some point during development.) Sorry about that!

The move example from the Scripting Guide works here--is it possible that the measurement strings are not being accepted? It might be that the "p" (for "picas") is getting changed into something else on your system (I don't know if you're using a localized version or the International English version). Try it without using measurement strings:



//assuming that at least one page item is selected 
mySelection = app.selection[0]; 
mySelection.move([2, 6]);

Does that work?

Note that this is an absolute move--to perform a relative move, try something like this:



//assuming that at least one page item is selected 
app.selection[0].move(undefined, [2, 6]);



Thanks,

Ole
