Dave,

you're right. I'm trying to accomplish this using Javascript. Essentially I'm trying to modify the "LabelGraphics.jsx" file that I was able to download as a sample script. This script adds a text box underneath all of graphics. I just want it to add a text box to the one that is currently selected. Here's the piece of code that I'm trying to modify. Let me know if you need more information.

function myAddLabels(myLabelType, myLabelHeight, myLabelOffset, myLabelStyleName){
	var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
	var myGraphics = myDocument.allGraphics;
	myLabelStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.item(myLabelStyleName);
	for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myGraphics.length; myCounter++){ 		myAddLabel(myDocument, myGraphics[myCounter], myLabelType, myLabelHeight, myLabelOffset, myLabelStyle); 	} }

Instead of using a "for" loop I only want to reference the currently selected rectangle.

Justin M.
