This variable is not the problem. The problem is when I open a CS3 or CS4 document in CS6 the document setup does not reflect the actual demensions of the document. The document setup shows letter. But the document is not letter. I am going to post this in someother places as well. Thanks.

I am sorry for the confusion. The problem is that this variable gets passed by in a try because it does not recieve the right info. The reason for this wich I tried to describe is because. When I try and open CS3 or CS4 Files in CS6 the application describes the size as letter. wich is not phisically the case. When the script recieves the wrong dimensions it passes on my array. So when I try to build the text box its demensions are undefined. When I run my script opening a document saved in CS5 or CS5.5 still running from 6 I have no problems. Because the script recieves the right size.

I know what the problem is its InDesign CS6. Just try opening a  CS3 file in CS6. Then look a the document set up. it will always say letter.

You can move it if you wish. My file is a custom size. The document size in doc setup changes to letter when I open it in CS6. This does effect my script because my script reads the document size.

This is the screen shot of the CS3 Document in CS3. Notice the page size says Custom.

This is the same document opened in CS6. Notice the page size is now changed to letter.

This does not however effect the physical document. However my script reads page size. When the page size changes to letter

I am unable to get the acurate results of my page size.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
 var myPageSize=myDoc.pages.item(0).bounds;
alert(myPageSize);
 
 
 
 
 

This gives me a value of -1,-47,74,0 wich is closer to describing the true nature of this page however. When I go to
document set up it still gives a value of 51p 66p should be 47 bt 75.
To make this easier I put the zero point in the upper left 0,0,75,47.
