Eelko--

Looks like you're on the right track--the Label property is a wonderful way to get at a specific page item.

The original problem was that you said:



Dim myPageItem As InDesign.PageItem



When you get to:



myPageItem = myPage.AllPageItems.Item(i)



InDesign returns a Rectangle, Oval, Polygon, Line, or TextFrame--*not* a PageItem. At that point, you get a type check error. To get around this, either leave myPageItem undeclared (no "Dim") or use "Dim myPageItem as Object".

Thanks,

Ole
