Shane--

It's just as it is in the UI--if the place point is inside a "live" area on the page (i.e., the area inside the margins), then the resulting text frame fills the width of the live area, or, if the live area contains column guides, the width of the column containing the place point.

If the place point is *outside* the live area, you'll get a text frame whose upper-left corner is the point specified by the place point.

Does that make sense? I mean my explanation--I think the behavior makes plenty of sense.

Thanks,

Ole
