Hi Ana,

You can create a few objects like Rectangle that have a label properties and put them into InDesign page, the user trough the script label windows locate in the menu windows-scripts of InDesign can see and modify this label and you can use at any time in the program.

example:

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
    Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
    myDocument.ViewPreferences.HorzMeasurementUnits = idMSPicas
    myDocument.ViewPreferences.VertMeasurementUnits = idMSPicas
    Set myRectangle = myDocument.Rectangles.Add



myRectangle.GeometricBounds = Array(10, 10, 25, 25)
    myRectangle.Label = "This is a sample text"

At this point you can go to InDesign and select the rectangle, you will see this text in the script label window.

Roberto
