I very much appreciate your response to my question.
I tried the code as is, but received the following error:
Syntax Error:
A identifier can't go after this identifier
(object styles is highlighted in the original code).
After receiving the error, I modified the original code as below:
� I changed �Adobe InDesign CS2� to �InDesign CS� because I am using CS.
� I removed �of object styles� because CS does not support object styles.
After running the following modified code:
tell application "InDesign CS"
set properties of text wrap preferences to {text wrap type:bounding box text wrap, text wrap offset:{"6 pt", "6 pt", "6 pt", "6 pt"}, inverse:false}
end tell
I received the following error:
AppleScript Error
InDesign CS got an error: Can't set properties of text wrap preferences to {text wrap type:bounding box text wrap, text wrap offset:{"6 pt". "6 pt". "6 pt". "6 pt"}, inverse:false}.
Is there a simple syntax problem I am overlooking?
Again, thanks for your help.
Paul
