floating graphics using BuildFreeform Wai 21.07.2006 15:01:01 Hi, I have added lines and textboxs using VBA at the selection (i.e. the cursor) in a WORD document, The distances were measured in points from the selection and everything was fine. However, when I added curves with "BuildFreeform" using VBA, the distances were always measured from the top left corner of the document, instead of the cursor. I got two questions: 1. Can I use "BuildFreeform" with the distance measured from the selection? 2. How do I know the horizontal and vertical distance, in points, of the selection from the top left corner of the document? Please advise.

Selection.Information has some arguments that should give you this information.
