Thanks, it works but now I am trying to adjust the height as well because of how the fld gets set (I thought you could set the rect of a fld without its height or width changing?
I have an image and a field. I want to have the field position below the image via script so: set the loc of fld "Site" to the loc of image "Tower" -- centers both objects put the rect of fld "Site" into tnewPoints put item 4 of the rect of the image Tower into item 2 of tnewPoints set the rect of fld "Site" to tnewPoints -- this causes the height of the fld Site to shrink to 1?? set the height of the fld "Site" to the formattedheight of fld "Site" -- which still isn't perfect in postion set the width of fld "Site" to the formattedwidth of fld "Site" -- this works since the rect info on width hasn't changed Is there a better way? How can you script the Distribute command - edge to edge (this is in essence of what I am trying to accomplish) On 5/26/05, Jeanne A. E.
