P.S. That sample code for the second question has the wrong enum (1 instead of 2) - it should be: local newText = finale.FCPageText() local textObject = finale.FCString() textObject:AppendLuaString("TESTING 123") newText:SaveNewTextBlock(textObject) newText.HorizontalAlignment = finale.TEXTHORIZALIGN_CENTER newText:SaveNew(1) Cheers, Dave
