Stu--

Move does ignore the current proxy point selected in the Transform palette. Instead, you can simply compensate for the height of the object, as shown in the example below.



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set mySelection to selection 
	if (count mySelection) > 0 then 
		set myPageItem to item 1 of mySelection 
		set myBounds to visible bounds of item 1 of mySelection 
		set myHeight to (item 3 of myBounds) - (item 1 of myBounds) 
		move myPageItem to {2.5, 63.5 - myHeight} 
	end if 
end tell 




Thanks,

Ole
