In practice, you need a ‘set item’ command to change geometric bounds in InDesign, which are stored as a four number list.  E.g.

 

set item 4 of geometric bounds of myBoxObject to 144


What? No. You can't "set item 4 of geometric bounds of somePageItem to 144" because that's just setting item 4 of the list, not actual changing the geometric bounds of the page item. You have to get the list, change item4 of it, then set the geometric bounds to that list.

 

Adobe should not have made ‘item’ a reserved word starting in InDesign 11.4.1.102 because it’s an AppleScript reserved word.


Can anyone confirm that they stomped on the reserved term "item"? We see no "item" in InDesign CC 2015's dictionary.
