It is beginning to sink in that certain objects are ID objects, and therefore have different properties than JS objects. The indexOf property was carried out on a JS string, and then reverting back to the ID String I can apply the index value. Sorry if I am babling, but I am trying to get things clear. Am I correct in this thinking?
This is still throwing up the error:
"invalid parameter" on the last line
myPara = myTild[i].paragraphs[0]; //ID String
myString = myPara.contents; //JS String
myStart = myString.indexOf("\t",2);
myEnd = myString.indexOf("\t",myStart+1);
myNewPos = myString.indexOf("\t",myEnd+1);
myPara.characters.itemByRange(myStart,myEnd).move(LocationOptions.atBeginning,myNewPos);
It is getting late, and I have spent the last couple of hrs on it and give up!!
Cheers
Roy
