Hi fellow scripters,
 
 I can create a text frame on a master spread, but how I can use it, how I can �address� it ?
 
 This is my little script:
 
 --
 tell application "InDesign 2.0"
 �tell document 1
 ��tell master spread 1
 ���set myTextFrame to make text frame
 ���set label of myTextFrame to "Main_Text"
 ���set geometric bounds of myTextFrame to {"10 mm", "10 mm", "50 mm", "59 mm"}
 ��end tell
 ��
 ��tell spread 1
 ���tell text frame 1
 ����set MyTextProp1 to properties of it
 ���end tell
 ��end tell
 �end tell
 end tell
 --
 
 The result is :  Enable to obtain properties of text frame 1 of spread 1 of document 1.
 
 Any idea ?

 Must I create, on each page, a new text frame ?
 

 TIA

 

 Olivier.
