Ana-- Yes, VB is (or at least can be) an object-oriented programming language. But Stu is right--the deal with the PageItem object is that it's not implemented (at least as far as external clients are concerned) as a base class. As my example showed, it's possible to declare a PageItem variable--it's just that you can't declare it as InDesign.PageItem. You've got to use either Object or (in VB6) Variant. One of the reasons I don't like to declare all variables is that I'm often using VB to develop VBScripts. VBScript does not declare variables *at all* (everything is a Variant). If I omit all of the Dim statements, I can simply copy the body of the Sub to a text file, and save it as .vbs. Thanks, Ole
