Hello Jeyalakshmi Thangamarippandian,Thanks for the heads up, I've managed to write the code to make what I envisioned to happen, as can be seen below, where the right column top-aligns with the left column no matter the number of lines entered.    However, I hit a snag when it comes to text that has been word wrapped within the RECT. I'm wondering if there's another method that could be used with word wrapped text. Again, thanks very much!--Thor
