In this particular case, the problem is that before the Edit Page Offset menu appears, the selection is lost - instead of setting the parameter of the page number I selected, it sets in the 1st page. This doesn't happen with Edit Frame Attributes (didn't try with anything else), there I had no problems in editing/changing dialog values. But it seems to be true - despite being easy to learn (as it is a simple scripting language), finalescript is a bit limited. I was just trying to avoid adding extra programs to the mix. Are are other users' recomendations about finalescript in general?
