Hi,
I have a script that sets the insertion point on a text frame, then later on when I set an asset from my library, it places it into the insertion point of that text frame instead of its usual place in the spread. What happened?

This is the part of the script that calls the insertion point and acts on it.

if AppStyl != character style "ProductInfoRootName" of myDocument then
										set wordCount to wordCount - 1
										set innyPoint to insertion point -1 of last character of word wordCount of �
											mylistingtextFrame
										set properties of innyPoint to {text contents:"<000d>"}
										exit repeat

Here is the script that calls the library item and places it back into the innyPoint. I thought when the library places the object its just a free floating selection, and it was until altered things with the insertionpoint script above

tell myLibrary
					--Get an asset by name.
					set myAsset to asset myword
					--Place the asset in the document.
					place myAsset on last spread of myDocument
				end tell
				set theReturnFrame to item 1 of selection

when I set ReturnFrame, item 1 of selection is the insertion point. What the hell?

Any advice anyone could offer would be great.

Thanks,

mark
