Jens, Thanx for your quick reaction! but sorry.. it's not the toString method. the error is in this line: myPageItem = myPage.AllPageItems.Item(i) In .Net every object has an ToString function, wich returns a string repreatation of the object. Even if a valid string can't be produced, there will be a string (so to say..) But, i tried to revome the tostring (you'll never know) but still the error occurs: "unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Indesign1.exe Additional information: Specified cast is not valid." I just ahd lunch, so i will take another fresh look at it,.. but i realy find this strange :D Does anyone have a simple VB example that itterates throug all page items on a page and places text in the page item with label "header" (because that's what i'm trying to acomplish) Thanx!
