Tim,
Thanks for your help. I'll give the sizing macro a try. Seems a shame to go to so much code when all we really need is for 7.2 to support the 'fit elements' function as 7.3 does.
As for the text part - the problem I have is that the small text I'm trying to select does not conform to an exact size (eg. 8pt), and it is not always the same size. I have text that varies from 11.708 to 11.891. Hence I could do with a function that lets me select if text is less than 12pt, but life is not so easy. That's why I'm tring to use the element box height as a measure of the text size instead.
Thanks for trying.
Cheers
Rob
