Hi,

I'm currently working with importing with a script that should import a Word-document into an Indesign-template.

In the indesign template I've made a text frame that I want to import the text into. The problem is when I try to place in this frame, a new frame is created (?), and placed outside the original frame.

What am I doing wrong here:

tell document 1
	tell page 1
		set myPageFrame to item 1 of all page items
		place myTextFile on myPageFrame with autoflowing
	end tell
end tell
