Hi All,

I want to draw a textframe in page number 3 with the following VB script.

Set myind = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS2")
Set mydoc = myind.ActiveDocument
Set mypage = mydoc.Pages(3)
Set mytf = mypage.TextFrames.Add
mytf.Contents = "Hello"
GB = mytf.GeometricBounds
GB(0) = 10
GB(1) = 10
GB(2) = 20
GB(3) = 20
mytf.GeometricBounds = GB

After running this script the textframe is drawn in page number 2.

This is caused due to geometricbounds calculation?

Does Indesign calculate the geometricbounds for each spread left side?

What can I do for calculate the geometricbounds for each page left side?

If anybody have an idea please help me.

Karthik
