I want to place a TextFrame at the bottom of a page, taking into account the Bottom Margin of that page. I get an Incompatible type error at the bold lines. I know that the Bounds are of a Variant type and the Margins are Doubles. But how to match both eludes me. Thanks to help.

My code is:

With myPage 

  		MarginB=.MarginPreferences.MarginBottom
  		MarginL=.MarginPreferences.MarginLeft
  		myBounds = DocCDN.GeometricBounds
  		myBounds(1) = .Bounds(1)-MarginB
  		myBounds(3) = .Bounds(3)-MarginB
   	 DocCDN.GeometricBounds = myBounds

End With
