InDesign for one:

item 1 of geometric bounds of page item 1

Neat. Adobe apps are probably more the exception than the rule - the majority of scripting apps don't have nearly such extensive scripting support. Like I say, there's no technical reason it can't be done; it's just that 99% of applications never bother. Though folks could always send Apple feature requests asking that Cocoa Scripting support this behaviour for free - that'd certainly make a difference.


Out of interest, does the same trick work throughout InDesign - e.g. can you say things like 'get text 1 thru 3 of name of document 1' - or does it only work for certain properties like 'geometric bounds'?

Cheers,
