I'm not sure why the following portion of my AppleScript is not working:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2" to activate
tell application "System Events"
   tell application process "Adobe InDesign CS2"
      if exists window "Document Setup" then
         tell window "Document Setup"
            click checkbox "Master Text Frame"
            click button "OK"
         end tell
      end if
   end tell
end tell

Both the checkbox and the button seem to "flicker" but the click never works. Any insight into what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris Capobianco
