in vb i'm trying to get the width of a text column (i've got a handle to a selected TextFrame) and set several tabls based on that info.

how do i get the width of the text column? (as opposed to the width of the text box, which could be different??)

could i do the same to a text selection or do i need a different method of working out the width of the column of a text selection??

any help gratefully received!
