Here's that example I promised (this is in VB, let me know if you need/prefer the AppleScript version): 

Rem Quick (and dirty) example of using a table to put a box around a paragraph. Dim myInDesign As InDesign.Application Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0") Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Add Set myTextFrame = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Add myTextFrame.GeometricBounds = Array("6p", "6p", "24p", "18p") myString = "First paragraph." & vbCr & "Note: This is the second paragraph. We want to put it in a box. Using a single-cell table is a reasonable way to do this great and good thing." & vbCr myString = myString & "This is the third paragraph. Isn't writing sample text fun?" & vbcr myTextFrame.Contents = myString Set myParagraph = myTextFrame.Paragraphs.Item(2) Set myTable = myParagraph.Tables.Add Rem Remove the table's space before and space after (it's easier to use paragraph spacing). myTable.SpaceAfter = 0 myTable.SpaceBefore = 0 Rem Format the table's stroke. myTable.LeftBorderStrokeWeight = 0.25 myTable.RightBorderStrokeWeight = 0.25 myTable.TopBorderStrokeWeight = 0.25 myTable.BottomBorderStrokeWeight = 0.25 Rem Apply a tint to the fill of the table. Set myCell = myTable.Cells.Item(1) myCell.FillColor = myDocument.Colors.Item("Black") myCell.FillTint = 20 Rem Add some space before/after to the paragraph format. myParagraph.SpaceAfter = "1p" myParagraph.SpaceBefore = "1p"  

Thanks,
