I have a story that is 1493 paragraphs long. Within those paragraphs, there are more than 400 tables.

If I click in the first paragraph and do:

myStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;

it works instantaneously.

But if I click in the last paragraph, it takes more than two minutes.

More to follow.

Dave
