Hi,

I try to make a new text frame in the cell. I place a picture in the cell and wants to place also a text frame with the picture name in it - without extra text frame (only text in cell) functions. But if the width of the picture is not big enough, the text is placed on the right side, I need it under the picture.

--myScript
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDocument to active document
	tell table 1 of text frame 1 of page 1 of myDocument
		tell insertion point 1 of cell 1
			set myimageframe to place "HD:user:yourname:pict.eps"
		end tell
		tell cell 1
			tell paragraph 1 to set justification to center
			set properties of text frame 1 to {geometric bounds:{0, 0, (10 as number), (10 as number)}}
			set myframe to text frame 1
			tell myframe
				fit myframe given content to frame
				fit myframe given proportionally
				fit myframe given center content
				fit myframe given frame to content
			end tell
			tell insertion point -1
				set myTextFrame to make text frame --with properties {geometric bounds:{0, 0, (5 as number), (8 as number)}}
				set text of myTextFrame to ("pictname" as string)
				-- set text to (thename as string) (*this functions!*)
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

Pls help - what do I wrong? With the "place" command from the image functions, but why not for a new text frame?

Many thanks
