Kris-- It's pretty easy to get the reference. What happens after that is as difficult or easy as you want!<g> tell application "InDesign CS" --I'll include some standard error handling here. if (count documents) > 0 then set mySelection to selection if (count mySelection) > 0 then set mySelection to object reference of item 1 of selection if class of mySelection is insertion point or class of mySelection is text then if class of mySelection is insertion point then set myInsertionPoint to item 1 of mySelection else if class of mySelection is text then set myInsertionPoint to insertion point 1 of mySelection end if --Your script goes here (and does something with "myInsertionPoint"). end if else display dialog "Please select a text frame and try again." end if else display dialog "Please open a document, select a text frame, and try again." end if end tell Does that help? Thanks, Ole
