Hi Shane!

You've got my attention on this one.

I'm trying to get the file path of a placed image that is selected in
InDesign 2.0.2. How can I restate this without knowing the type of image
that is placed? (The placed image could either be an EPS or JPG in this
case.)

This works if the item is an EPS, but obviously doesn't work if it's not:
set imagePath to file path of item link of EPS 1 of item 1 of selection

This works if the item is a JPG, but won't work for EPS's:
set imagePath to file path of item link of image 1 of item 1 of
selection

I can't simply use:
set imagePath to file path of page item 1...

Your help is appreciated! bill
