Marcus,

The follwing will give you the width and height of the currently selected item. Please note that if you are working with metric measurments (millimeters) what you se in the transform palette is actually a rounded number, but the script gives you the actuall size (which you can round if you want to)



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set myWidth to (item 4 of geometric bounds of selection as number) - (item 2 of geometric bounds of selection as number) 
	set myHeight to (item 3 of geometric bounds of selection as number) - (item 1 of geometric bounds of selection as number) 
	display dialog "It is " & myWidth & " wide and " & myHeight & "tall" 
end tell
