hi all:

know incopy has its own script forum, but it doesn't seem much used so i'll throw a couple of questions in here to see if anyone can answer them :-)

firstly: my script works fine in layout view (ie wysiwy might get), but it don't work when i change views.

. i'm getting a handle to the objects via...

Set varDocument = varInCopy.ActiveDocument
. If varInCopy.Documents.Count > 0 Then 'there's an open doc
Set mySelection = varInCopy.Selection

. i'm doing some find and replace operations using .search etc

do i have to select differently to get the objects in galley and story view??

seconldy: how do i get a word count for an incopy document - do i loop through the story(ies) using the .Text.TextWords.Count function? or should i loop through the text frames using a simialr function?

finally - any documentation on the object model for incopy?? i'm sort of guessing using the indesign model, and it seems to work so far!!
