Thanks Dave,

Text Frame width is constant, and allways wide enough. It's the file name of an image, bellow the image. User cannot enter the data. The script gets he file name, shortens it a bit, and that's it.

The reason I need toknow the exact height for a given font size, so I can put it into an array. When the user selects the font size (in pt), the script can work out if there is enough space available between the images to place the text frame. Conversely, given the space specified by the user between images, it can calculate yhe maximum point size for the text in the text frame. Width is not an issue. Only the height.

Thanks,

Bill
