In JavaScript there is a method "itemByRange" to define a range object. E.g. "myStory.characters.itemByRange(17, 25)" What is this in AppleScript? A friend of mine is trying to translate my JavaScript which applies a character style to text between two tags (e.g. between Start-Tag "@11" and End-Tag "@12") to AppleScript because of some restrictions of JS in footnotes. The occurances of the Start- and the End-Tags are fetched with the search method. And then in a loop there should be defined objects from item i of start-Items to item i of stop-Items to apply a character style to them. In JS it is something like this: myStory.characters.itemByRange(start[myCounter].index, stop[myCounter].index).appliedCharacterStyle = myCharStyle) But how to build this line in AppleScript? Thanks Martin
