Box Overflows in Xpress 4.11

I'm having trouble working out if boxes are overflowing in Xpress 4.11 on
9.2.2. I've written a script that puts a few text boxes on a page and fills
them with text. I now want to adjust the tracking in any boxed that
overflow. However, I keep getting errors.

This Script:

tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
tell document 1
set m to object reference of every text box
set obrefs to {}
repeat with j in m
if (box overflows of j) then set end of obrefs to item i of m
end repeat
end tell

end tell

Sets m to {generic box 2 of spread 1 of document "ORD001504", generic box 4
of spread 1 of document "ORD001504", generic box 5 of spread 1 of document
"ORD001504"}

And then fails on the first pass at "box overflows" with the error 'Can't
make some data into the expected type.'

Also,

set m to object reference of every text box whose box overflows is true

Doesn't work.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,


Steve
