Introduced: 31.0.

### Syntax

```vbscript
TXTextControl.SignatureFieldInsertFixed PageNo, PosX, PosY, Width, Height, TextFlow, DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| PageNo | Specifies the number of the page where the signature field is inserted, beginning with number 1. If the [ViewMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/viewmode-property/llms-full.txt) property has not been set to **Page View**, this parameter must be set to zero. In this case, the PosY parameter specifies the position relative to the top of the control. |
| PosX | Specifies the signature field's horizontal position in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips) relative to the left border of the page. |
| PosY | Specifies the signature field's vertical position in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips) relative to the top border of the page or control. |
| Width | Specifies the width of the signature field in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips). If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the signature field through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse. |
| Height | Specifies the height of the signature field in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips). If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the signature field through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse. |
| TextFlow | Specifies how text flows around the signature field. It can be one of the following values: |
| DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB | Specifies distances, in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips), between the signature field and the document's text. |

#### TextFlow

| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 2 | The text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the signature field. |
| 3 | The text flows around the signature field. Empty areas at the left and right side are filled. |

### Return Value

The method returns the signature field's identifier, if a new signature field could be inserted. Otherwise, it returns zero. The signature field's identifier can also be obtained with the [ObjectCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/objectcurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property.
