Ole, 

Re *an inline text frame that takes up the same position on the page as the selected paragraph*  

You've hit the nail on the head: I'm creating in-line paragraphs (that retain their styles) with rules around/tints/etc --- you know the sort of thing. The idea is to select the paragraph and hit the button and it's instantly changed into the above. 

The notes on InsertionPoints are useful, but what I've been looking for is a property for the x as well as the y. As I'm using multi-column pages, I've discovered that the x value has to be calculated at length, and you have to know which column of which frame you're in. But I would imagine that once it's put in place the *inline* property would take care of moving text. 

I'll take advantage of your kind offer of an example, please. 

Thanks, 

Mike
