I have finished my script and am just working out the final details. I am puzzled as to why my dialog box assumes that my units are in pts. I have scripted it to work in inches, but for some reason, the dialog boxes inserts "pts" after the edit values of 8.5 x 11. Any ideas as to why?
--Set application defaults,then create a new document.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myViewPreferences to view preferences
tell myViewPreferences
set horizontal measurement units to inches
set vertical measurement units to inches
end tell
--Dialog box to enter page size
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Enter Your Document Size"}
tell myDialog
tell (make dialog column)
make static text
make static text with properties {static label:"Page Width:"}
make static text with properties {static label:"Page Height:"}
end tell
tell (make dialog column)
make static text
set myWidthField to make measurement editbox with properties {edit value:11}
set myHeightField to make measurement editbox with properties {edit value:8.5}
end tell
end tell
