Do you mean 50mm of the *left* edge of the text frame, or 50mm of the *right* edge? Let me know, and I can provide an example. If you want to get started, though, what you need to know is that:

* You can get the page position of a text object (such as a character or insertion point) from the HorizontalOffset property. (The Baseline, Ascent, and Descent properties provide the vertical position in page coordinates.)

* To figure out where that is relative to the text frame, compare it to the X values in the TextFrame.GeometricBounds array.

Thanks,

Ole
