Kari--

No, this isn't a limit of ID scripting--it's because you're working on item 1 of selection--that's the first text frame in the list of selected items.

The selection property is a list. Something like: {item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4}. When you refer to item 1, that's all you'll get.

You can either iterate through the list:



repeat with myTextFrame in mySelection 
set inset spacing of myTextFrame to {0,14.173,0,0} 
end repeat 




...or you can tell all of the text frames in the selection to change. My Mac is busy playing a DVD for my son right now, but it should be something like:



tell text frames of selection 
set inset spacing to {0,14.173,0,0} 
end tell 




...which should be quicker.

Thanks,

Ole
