Care to elaborate :-)

The section of my script:

				-- Use the selected picture boxes and create new ones after that.
				tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
					tell myDocument
						if i ? ItemCount then
							if (count mySelection) > 0 and class of item i of mySelection is in myTextObjects then
								set myBox to item i of mySelection
								try
									place theFile on myBox with properties theFile
									fit myBox given proportionally
								on error
									activate
								end try
							else
								set newRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{imageTop, imageLeft, imageTop + 100, imageLeft + 100}}
								place theFile on newRectangle
								fit newRectangle given proportionally
							end if
							activate
						else
							set newRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{imageTop, imageLeft, imageTop + 100, imageLeft + 100}}
							place theFile on newRectangle
							fit newRectangle given proportionally
							activate
						end if
					end tell
				end tell
