Word Automation frames

General

Hi, A few years ago with the old Real Studio I prepared a word document with several pages, on the first page I inserted an image, some text and a table, then I enclosed everything in two frames, it worked well with word 2003 and 2010. code the same even if it works for most of the document it does not work well with frames (Xojo 2019 Word 2010) As soon as I insert the frames and insert a new page the frames are moved to the new page. This even if I insert some text after the frames, if instead I insert some text from the keyboard and then I insert a new page then okay, any ideas?
Sorry for my bad English

Hello Mario,

My guess is that the reason the frames are added to the cursor is at the beginning of the document. When I change the position of the cursor to the end of the document with

…then the frame remains on the first document. Is this what you wanted?

Here is slightly modified code that shows text and the frames on the first page, and adds text on the second page.
