Eelko-- When any part of an object touches the left-most page of a spread--including the stroke of the object--InDesign will think that that page "owns" the object. When you create an object, it appears at 0,0--which is usually the upper-left corner of the page. So what's happening is that you're telling page 3 to create an object. The edge of the object touches page 2, so setting the geometric bounds of the object will move it to that location *on page 2*, not page 3. To get around this, I move the object slightly after I create it. Note that the Move method has two parameters--moveTo and moveBy. We want moveBy, the second one. Rem Given a rectangle "myRectangle" myRectangle.move , Array(1, 1) Does that help? If not, make sure that the ruler origin is set to page origin. Thanks, Ole
