I've seen similar problems in other apps, but it's only a problem if a
reference is involved. For example, using an app to hand:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
tell document 1
set thePars to object reference of paragraphs of story 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of thePars
contents of item i of thePars
end repeat
repeat with aPar in thePars
contents of aPar
end repeat
end tell
end tell
The contents in the first repeat returns the contents property, and the
second needs an extra "contents of" to do the same. I've seen the same thing
in lots of other apps.
So I guess the question is: what are you doing different to them?
