Stephen-- That's a good idea. Another thought would be to create an EPS that is the height of the leading of the text you'd be placing it in--could be any width you like. The nice thing about using an EPS is that it's just text--you can write them to disk "on the fly" using whatever bounding box (which determines the size of the placed graphic) you want. Here's a minimal EPS template. %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%BoundingBox:0 0 72 72 %%EOF The bounding box sets the size of the graphic, in points, in x1, y1, x2, y2 order. Just fill in different values for x2, y2, and you've got an EPS of a different size. When you place this EPS in InDesign, you'll get a graphic frame the size of the bounding box. Thanks, Ole
