Hi,
I'm writing a script which moves all of the items on a left page .25" left and all of the items on a right page .25" right. I've started with this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	tell document 1
		set zero point to {0, 0}
		set myViewPreferences to view preferences
		set ruler origin of myViewPreferences to spread origin
		set myDocPrefs to document preferences
		set myPageH to page height of myDocPrefs
		set myPageW to page width of myDocPrefs
		repeat with x from 1 to count of every page item
			set itemBounds to geometric bounds of page item x
			set myTop to item 1 of itemBounds
			set myLeft to item 2 of itemBounds
			set myBot to item 3 of itemBounds
			set myRight to item 4 of itemBounds
			if item 4 of itemBounds is less than myPageW + 0.1 then
				set the geometric bounds of page item x to {myTop, myLeft - 0.25, myBot, myRight - 0.25}
			end if
			if item 2 of itemBounds is greater than myPageW - 0.1 then
				set the geometric bounds of page item x to {myTop, myLeft + 0.25, myBot, myRight + 0.25}
			end if
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

I have 2 problems: Master page items which haven't been detached don't move. And the contents of picture frames don't move (the frame gets adjusted correctly).

Any help would be appreciated.
