Hi!

Hope you can help an absolute programming newbie. Here's what I want to do: I've got a table and a rectangle left of it. Now there's an object that should be placed horizontally in the center of the rectangle and vertically on the baseline of the currently selected textline in the table. Here's my vbscript so far:

Dim MyIndesign
Dim myLibrary
Dim myAsset
Set myIndesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
Set myDocument = myIndesign.ActiveDocument
Set mySelection = myInDesign.Selection

Set myTextLine = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1)
myInDesign.Selection = nothing

Set myLibrary = myInDesign.Open("c:\myLibrary.indl")
Set myAsset = myLibrary.Assets.Item("AM")
myAsset.Place myDocument

Set myPlacedAsset = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1)

myPlacedAsset.Move Array(myTextline.HorizontalOffset - 17.15, myTextLine.Baseline - 3.3)

As you can see the asset "AM" is placed. Then I move it based on the baseline (ok, with a little offeset) and on the horizontaloffset of the current textmarker(?) position. See that "17.15"? That's the center of the rectangle mentioned above. The problem here is, i don't know how to figure out the position of the rectangle to place my object. Since I use the selection for the y positioning I can't use it to get the the value from the rectangle. To put it another way, I have no idea how to get the position from the rectangle without seleting it.

Hope you understand my problem and excuse my messy and yet unflexible code. Thanks in advance!
