Hi, I am creating a script that will place text boxes on the left hand side of the page. These have to be in a line, but the only problem is that if you stop the script and restart it, it doesn't recognise where the last text box was placed. Is there any way I can get the geometric bounds of a text box whilst in a repeat loop? This is what I have so far, but it says that it can't get the geometric bounds of the text frame: set theTextFrame to select text frames of myDoc set theTextSel to selection set theCount to count theTextSel repeat with i from 1 to theCount set textList to select text frame i of myDoc set textListSel to selection set myBounds to geometric bounds of item i of myDoc I need to get the bounds so that I can check the text box is in the list not on the main page as part of the spread. I hope this all makes sense and someone can help. Thanks, Liz
