Assuming we're mainly using these to find out where tables break, the only missing link I can see is how to tell if a table has broken when it's in a multi-column frame. Then I guess it's back to something like getting the horizontal offset of the first insertion point, assuming we still can't get a cell's bounds. -- Shane Stanley, sstanley@myriad-com.com.au
