If I already have a text frame tell myDocument set myStory to parent story of text frame 1 set myInsertionPoint to insertion point -1 of myStory select myInsertionPoint set mynewFrame to make text frame end tell this script will add a collapsed text frame inside the current text frame. If I set the geometric bounds on mynewFrame it places the text frame according to the geometric bounds and not in the text frame. Is there a way to expand the width and height of the text frame after its been placed? My original working idea was to create the new text frame off the page and then cut and paste it into the main text frame, but I wasn't too fond of that approach. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this but I'm stumped. Thanks, Matt
