Hi Jaque, I needed to know where the hGrid line of line 1 shows.
I did not get there by adding: top of field, topMargin, borderSize and effective textHeight. So I don't know what I missed but that calculation gives me a 7 pixel offset i.e. the position is 7 pixel below the hGrid of line 1. I don't know what these 7 pixel are. Then I went into experimentation mode and found that empiric formula. Maybe someone has an idea how to calculate the hGrid position of line 1 of an EMPTY field in a straight forward way.
