But thanks! I'll look into that. I had my head so deep into the Word VBA manuals and the problem that I wasn't thinking out of the box and into the API. Time to fire up MSDN. Thanks again!

>Have you tried using the GetTextExtentPoint32 GDI API call? This puppy unfortunately requires a VB or C++ server (it requires an hDC of a form where the forms font is set to the font you're dealing with).
