You're talking pretty specific stuff. I suggest starting small. That way if
you want to send me an example project I can problem help a bit more.
1. What happens if set it to ReadOnly first? I know that will really make the
Caret invisible.
2. A small project demonstrating this might be helpful.
3. I'm assuming you're really doing ftc.GetDoc.moveinsertionpointto end? Have
you done a full update at this point?
4. Again, I'm wondering if this is before or after you're readjusting the
document/page size and after a full update?
Seth and I are happy to help as it might reveal some bugs we weren't aware of.
A small sample project would make that a LOT easier.
