Kris, Dave--

I'm confused. I thought Kris was asking how to script the selected text frame, not how to find a given paragraph style. Right?

If so, something like this would work:



tell application "InDesign CS" 
    set myTextFrame to item 1 of selection 
    --...do something with the frame. 
end tell

If text is selected, or if a text insertion point is active, it's a little bit more complicated.

Thanks,

Ole
