Trying to Draw a line to a word document, drifting problems

MacRaider4 asked:

Open original thread
I'm using VB.net 2010 and word 2000. What I'm trrying to do is get the lines that I'm drawing to anchor to the current page that is being "worked on". As of right now I just have this portion of code being called with the first page and it's getting pushed to the last page with no text on it.
wrdDoc.Shapes.AddLine(intBeginX, intBegY, intEndX, intEndY).Select()

there is a anchor object according to the intillisense after the endY but it's not very intuitive. I tried the MSDN Library and that is even more useless, I've tried searching with google and no such luck so far.
All I want to do is get those stupid lines to be anchored on the current page when it is called. on a side note the text file that I'm working with to produce the letter does not have the lines in them, the lines are in a seperate file that is being called containing the coordinates.
This is the reason I like working with PDF's you can just tell it where you want it and not have to worry about drifting.
Thanks in advance!!!
