Jay,
if you use "set myBounds to {}", that wants to say (for me),
that you want to create a list. In this case, you can use:



 
	set end of myBounds to (geometric bounds of text frame i of page j) 






Liz,
If you want to know the bounds of the last text frame of your document, maybe you can use something like this:

 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	tell active document 
		tell last page 
			tell last text frame 
				set myBounds to geometric bounds of it 
			end tell 
		end tell 
	end tell 
end tell 




Another idea: you can *write*, in a text file, a log of all your stuff.
Read this file for your last command.


HTH


Olivier
