floating graphics using BuildFreeform

[Wai]

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.

1. I don't think you can
2. Selection.Information has some arguments that should give you this
information.
