Hello again. I've just discovered that when the ruler origin is set to
SPINE_ORIGIN, the right hand-side page in the spread will still have
bounds as if the ruler were set to SPREAD_ORIGIN.

Does your experience differ? Again, it's very annoying and makes up
for counterintuitive coding.

Furthermore, with the ruler origin set to spread, specifying a text
frame's geometric bounds always ends up positioning the element on the
right-hand side!!!

I meant spine, of course.

Gotta enjoy this one-person thread!

If the ruler is set to spine, the coordinates to the left are
negative. It makes sense, but is indicated nowhere. Maybe this will
save someone some time.
