AppleScript not adding new pages in InDesign CC 2018

[davidf61692623]

I have an AppleScript I use to add pages and series of linked text boxes on each page. I usually update it for different measurements with different projects. The scripts I wrote last year when i was using CC 2017 still work, but if I edit the script, it will not execute the new pages command. Instead I get the error message:

Error Number: -2710

Error String: Adobe InDesign CC 2018 got an error: Can't make class new page.

To test this, I made a sample script, which gets  the same error, even though all this code worked fine last year:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"

  tell document 1

  set myNewPage to make new page

  end tell

end tell

--Oddly, the problem is the word "new". Try:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"

  tell document 1

  set myNewPage to make page at end

  -- these work too:

  --set myNewPage to make page at beginning

  --set myNewPage to make page at before page 2

  end tell

end tell

Thank you very much; this worked. I don't understand why it didn't cause problems before, but at least it is all working now.
