Jack--

Label is the thing you want to use. That's what it's there for. You can store up to 32K worth of text in it, so there's room for quite a bit of stuff.<g>

I believe that the ID stays the same between sessions, but label is better--partly because you can refer to most objects directly using the label:



Rem Given a document "myDocument" and an unique label "myLabel"... 
Set myPageItem = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).PageItems.Item("myLabel") 




This doesn't work for everything, but it will work for all page items.

Thanks,

Ole
