Quark master pages

I am trying to script text box's on the master pages to contain page
numbers. When I write:


tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell default document 1
set properties to {horizontal measure:inches, vertical measure:inches,
left margin:"0.5", right margin:,
"0.5", top margin:"0.5", bottom margin:"0.5"}
set page height to "10.75"
set page width to "8.25"
set automatic text box to false
set guides showing to true
set facing pages to true
set greek pictures to false
set view scale to fit page in window
end tell
end tell

so far so good, but it errors out on:

make document at beginning
tell master document 1
make text box at beginning with properties {bounds:{"10.25", "0.5",
".3", "1.125"}
end tell

I get an error message from Quark tell me that I can't set a text box to the
master page. Can anyone help me around this? I need a text box in the bottom
outside corner of each master page of a facing page document.

Thanks
