First off I can't believe I'm having issues doing this because it seems like it should be very simple. I need to take a selected table, get the geometric bounds, make a new rectangle with those bounds, then cut the table and paste it into the rectangle.
Getting the bounds and making the rectangle is easy enough, but I can't cut or copy the selected item. Thoughts??
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set thefile to active document
tell thefile
set mySelection to selection
set myObject to item 1 of mySelection
set myclass to class of myObject
set myPath to geometric bounds of myObject
cut myObject
set myrectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:myPath, stroke color:"Black", fill color:"None"}
paste into myrectangle
end tell
end tell
