I have a story that goes through 3 text frames that I want to delete and replace with a different story. If i just delete the story then I can put in a line of text, but it seems to fail when i try to insert a forced line break. Does anybody know why? Should I be using a different method?

Set myGroup = myPage.Groups.Item(myNumberToFind)
Set myTopTextFrame = myGroup.TextFrames.Item(1)
Set myStory = myTopTextFrame.ParentStory
myStory.delete

myDescriptionNumber = "Description "

if not isnull(ipre) or iPre = "" Then
myDescriptionNumber = myDescriptionNumber & "1,"
myTopTextFrame.ParentStory.InsertionPoints.Item(-1).Contents = iPre
myTopTextFrame.ParentStory.Paragraphs(1).AppliedParagraphStyle = myDocument.ParagraphStyles.Item(myDescriptionNumber)
myTopTextFrame.ParentStory.InsertionPoints.Item(-1).Contents = idForcedLineBreak			
End If
