Dave,
 
 I become insane !!!
 Nor your script, neither Shane's script works !
 I copy-paste yours to mine:
 
 --
 tell application "InDesign 2.0"
 �tell document 1
 ��tell master spread 1
 ���make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{"10 mm", "10 mm", "40 mm", "40 mm"}, label:{"Main Box"}}
 ��end tell
 
 ��tell page 1
 ���try
 ����set myFrame to text frame whose label is "Main Box"
 ���on error
 ����set myFrame to master page item 1 whose label is "Main Box"
 ���end try
 ���tell myFrame
 ����set contents of it to "blablabla"
 ���end tell
 ��end tell
 �end tell
 end tell
 -- 

 Do I must address the 'page 1' , the 'spread 1' or ... ?
 
 I miss something ???
 
 
 TIA
 
 Olivier.
