In Quark it is possible to take a polygon frame and reapply one of the default shapes to it. With our check-in/check-out process of ad creation in our shop, this has become a handy feature. Sometimes a copywriter accidentally alters the shape of a frame in InDesign, for example. What was once a squared off rectangle is now a lopsided one... usually because the person chose the direct selection tool and altered the position of the one of the corner points for the frame. What would be great, and I wonder if it is scriptable, would be to able to rest the frame to a default shape that meets the exact boundaries of the selection box on a frame. I hope I've explained the problem clearly. Thanks!
