InDesign Duplicate Object By Offset

Hello All,

I am having troubled getting an InDesign object to duplicate with an offset.

The InDesign library reference for Duplicate:
duplicate‚v : Duplicate an object
duplicate reference
[to location reference] : The new location of the object
→ reference : The duplicated object(s)

I have tryed this but it does not work:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	activate
	duplicate selection to {.5, .5}
end tell

I tried serching here and Google for an answer with no luck.
Any information on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
CarbonQuark

you were close this mode will duplicate the selection and move it by x,y

Open this Scriplet in your Editor:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
   activate
  move (duplicate selection) by {.5, .5}
end tell
