[AS CS3] Another MathType Baseline Shift Question

Question

Hi Guys,
I am using the below script to place MathType Equations into an InDesign File
Basically it searches for tags <<Filename.eps>> and replaces it with a inline graphic.
My question is:
Is there anyway I can get it to read the height of the InLine Graphic Box and then get it to baseline shift so it's centered height wise on the line, instead of the set amount of -10pt that is uses now?
We have to open the MathType Equations in Illustrator to change font and colour to Pantone etc, so they are save back as Illustrator EPS's
Below is the Script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
set baselineVar to "Yes"
set countVar to 0
set imageCount to 0
set docPath to file path as alias
tell application "Finder"
set imageFolder to folder (choose folder with prompt "Please choose the folder containing the appropriate MathType files") --"MathType" of artFolder
end tell
activate
set allStories to stories
repeat with s from 1 to count of items of allStories
set theStory to item s of allStories
if class of theStory is story then
set theLim to count of words of theStory
try
repeat with i from 1 to theLim
if word i of theStory contains "<<" then
set theText to contents of word i of theStory as Unicode text
set theOffset to (offset of "<<" in theText)
set endOffset to (offset of ">>" in theText)
set imageName to characters (theOffset + 2) through (endOffset - 1) of theText as string
set imageFolderPath to ((imageFolder as string) & imageName)
set wholeTag to characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of theText as string
if baselineVar = "Yes" then
set baseline shift of characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of word i of theStory to -10.2
end if
delete characters theOffset through (endOffset) of word i of theStory
tell theStory
tell word i
tell character theOffset
place imageFolderPath as alias
set countVar to (countVar + 1)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end if
end repeat
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
activate
if countVar = 0 then
display dialog "No Images were found" buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
else if countVar = 1 then
display dialog "1 lonely Images has been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
else
display dialog (countVar as string) & " Images have been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
end if
end tell
Thanks

The place command will return a list containing a reference to the placed<br />image. You can then get the bounds of its parent, compare them with the<br />baseline, and change them accordingly.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]><br />AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>
