Hi all,

I'm building a script to lay out pages. (who isn't? :))
But i got confuesed. Since i'm quite new to scripting and indesign at all that isn't that strange :) but,..
As i get the command to add a frame (rectangle) to the document, the user should tell on what pagenumber it should be placed. So i can place it on that page. That works fine.
But, if the user doesn't give me a pagenumber to add the rectangle on, i want to place it onto the current page. The page that's active.

When a pagenumber is given i do this:
myRectangle = myDocument.Pages.Item(nPageNr).Rectangles.Add

But i can't find something like Pages.Current or something like it.
Anyone a hint how to get to the current page, or am i thinking to difficult? :-)

I code in VB.Net with ID2.0.2 on a PC (W2K)

Thanx in Advance!
