Dave--

This is why I've been telling people to use the reference [x] to refer to an item in an array and .item(x) to refer to an item in a collection. It's safer and less confusing. When InDesign exposes a plural object (such as paragraphStyles), it's a collection; when you build a list using JavaScript, it's an array.

In general, you can use the [x] reference for InDesign collections, but that seems to be where it stops--if you actually need to get something from one of the members of the collection, use the .item(x) method.

Thanks,

Ole
