You are right, getting the X position is confounded when the text is not simply left aligned. Your example document has justified text and the values calculated for the horizontal alignment positions are inaccurate. I also tried using the Selection object but wasn't getting predictable results there either.



Can I ask what is the point of sticking a circle around text? Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just apply highlight to that text?

The company has established a rule whereby a designated officer is mandated to attend meetings and notate whether members concur with a proposed item. It is compulsory for the officer to circle these endorsements. Using a computer, the officer will comprehensively record all details discussed in the meeting. This is part of a macro process in preparation for the meeting. The default setting is to specifically circle 'AGREE'.
