The script gets the location (measurements) for guides on an InDesign page and creates text boxes for the areas within the guides. I’m using variables to calculate the text box bounds based on the page size and guide location. For some reason when I do this, the bounds end up in the wrong order. (The number for the width gets changed to the number for the distance from the top margin, the distance from the left margin gets changed to the height, etc.) Then the box is in the wrong spot and it’s the wrong size. If I change the order to accommodate this, the computer just picks a different random order to put the bounds in and they are still not right. When I use actual numbers instead of variables for the geometric bounds {“4 in”, “5 in”, “6 in”, 7 in"} the geometric bounds remain in the right order. Any ideas? Thanks!
