Bill, One way to do this is to not actually calculate it but use the overflows property -- I'm assuming the text frame is a stand-alone and not part of a story. Just keep on making the frame a little bit bigger until it doesn't overflow any more. A second assumption is that it is alway wide enough -- can they change the size after entering data? If so, then the width could be an issue. Changing inches to millimeters is just a matter of multiplying by the right constant. Draw a box one inch wide and then change your settings to mm. The width in the transform palette is the constant you need. Dave
