Text size look causing error

Hi all,

Since my last message proved fruitful in ways of response... I thought I'd send out another plea...

I keep geeting the following error message: "Adobe Illustrator got an error: Invalid range." with this bit of a script:

set textArtItemCount to count text frames of document 1
repeat with itemCount from 1 to textArtItemCount
set textRef to text of text frame itemCount of document 1 as reference
if (size of textRef < 5.0) then
set scaleto to 200
end if
end repeat


It seems to hang up on the 5.0 range.

Any ideas as to what to do about this? What I am trying to do here is loop through all of the text in a document in Illustrator, and if there is any that is less than 5 points, then set the scaling factor of the document to 200%. (Later in the script the scaled document is then exported as a jpg or a gif based on other parameters set, but that part of the script is working ok!)

Thanks in advance for your help!
--Jennie
