I am a newbie scripting InDesign from VB.NET. I have a question on functionality that should be obvious - but having spent a day digging through the documentation and the forum, I have not found an answer.

My question is - how do I get InDesign to hilight text? If I have 50 characters in my TextFrame and want to script InDesing to select characters 10 through 15 - what code does that?

Thanks,
Dean.
