coord = GetCoordFromString(string, defaultmeasurementsystem) 1" is one inch GetUIStringFromCoord GetCmdStringFromCoord Where measurementsystem can be INCHES \| CENTIMETERS \| MILLIMETERS \| PICAS \| POINTS \| PRINTERPOINTS \| CICEROS \| DIDOTPOINTS \| METRICPOINTS \| FEET \| METERS GetMeasurements The coord is a large integer number that you can add together, divide, etc. If you want to add say 1 inch to something, then you would simply need to pass "1in" to GetCoordFromString to get the number to add to the coord. Then if the PageStream numbering system ever changed, you're "future proof".
