Christopher,
In Case you missed it, I posted this in the other forum:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set mySelection to selection
set myBounds to geometric bounds of selection
set myTop to item 1 of myBounds
set myLeft to item 2 of myBounds
set myBot to item 3 of myBounds
set myRight to item 4 of myBounds

set myPath to path 1 of item 1 of mySelection
set myPoints to count of path points of myPath

set anchor of path point 1 of myPath to {myLeft, myTop}
set anchor of path point 2 of myPath to {myLeft, myBot}
set anchor of path point 3 of myPath to {myRight, myBot}
set anchor of path point 4 of myPath to {myRight, myTop}

end tell

If you new that all the boxes in a doc should be square it would be easy to make a script to square up every polygon.
