Hi,

What is the best method to determine the TextFrame height needed for a given font size?

I'm trying to add a combo box to a form, from which the user can select Font Size. The script needs to know the height of the text frame, and do some other calculations based on the frame heigt.

Also, what is the most reliable method of converting mm to inches?
My script calculates averything in mm, but I would like the user to enter values in inches. When the script runs, convert the inch values to mm.

Thanks,

Bill
