Help with placing outlines on different pages of tabloid

Participant ,

I could use some help with the script below.

I'm trying to get different outlines (.idms files) to place on different pages of a tabloid.

I got the first set of outlines to place correctly, but I'm having trouble placing the second set and so on.

I've tried changing the pages.item( ) number, and changing the geometricBounds, but the 2nd set always goes to the same place of the first set of outlines.

I have a total of 6 different outlines to go to separate placements, but once I get the 2nd set to go correctly, I should be able to get the others to follow suit.

If this makes sense.

Thanks for any help and/or advice.

Larry

var myDocument = app.activeDocument, 

myPage = myDocument.pages.item(1);

myStory = myPage.place(File("/H/Outline_Templates/Rome_Record_Pages_2_and_3.idms"));

              geometricBounds = ["65p11.928", "5.3782in"] 

             

              var myDocument = app.activeDocument, 

myPage = myDocument.pages.item(2);

myStory = myPage.place(File("/H/Outline_Templates/Rome_Record_Pages_4_and_5.idms"));

              geometricBounds = ["0p0.348", "5.3924in"]
