Will--

Yes, it'll work for autoflowed text--or any text, really. The parent text frame will be the text frame containing the first character of the found text. The parent of the text frame will be the page, unless the text frame is:

a. inside another text frame or table (i.e., as an inline frame)

b. pasted inside another page item (such as a rectangle)

c. inside a group

d. on the pasteboard

The class check I put in will catch these--and so prevent a runtime error. A really thorough script would climb the parent tree until it found a page or the application object--but I didn't think you'd need it (it adds complexity and slows things down a lot).

Good luck!

Thanks,

Ole
