Hi all,..

When i try to select all the text in a frame i sometimes run into a problem.
When i import some text into a textframe and i set the textsize to let's say 50 points, some of the text runs out of my frame.
(it overflows, that ain't strange.)
But, when i try to select all text from the frame again, to size it back, i only get the text that is visible. Thus sizing the text will result in some small words and some large words.

I select the text by doing this: (in VB.Net, using ID2.0.2)
MyFrame.Texts.Item(1) 'And then setting the point size of that text.

I was thinking this would select all text in my frame, but it only selects the text that is visible!!

So, can anyone help me, telling me how to select all text from trhis stupid frame :-) even when it is not visible, due to overflowing

Thanx
Eelko
