Hi,

To my great shame, I don't seem to be able to perform a simple search for text on a text-frame.
All I want to do is find out if a word is used in this frame.
I've tried a number of ways, but the one that seems to be the most logical is:

vSearch = vTextFrame.Search(vText, False, True)

The text-frame exists, and vText is used in it, but vSearch remains "nothing".
And what is this function supposed to return? In the documentation it says "variant", and I've seen some examples where it returns a collection, but all of those examples were for search-and-replace.

Thanks, and a merry Christmas,

Joeri
