Hi all. I'm debugging one of the scripts in the Studio scripting library that works in InDesign 2 but not in CS. I fixed a few things, but this one has me stumped. It's working on a small range of selected characters in a text box (in this case, characters 20 thru 21).

After the following stagement...

set KernTextBefore to object reference of characters (fSlash - 1) through fSlash of PStory

...here's what I get in the Event Log:

get object reference of characters 20 thru 21 of story id 136 of document "Untitled-1"
	{text from character 20 to character 20 of text flow id 136 of document "Untitled-1", text from character 21 to character 21 of text flow id 136 of document "Untitled-1"}

Then with this statement:

set (kerning value of character 1 of KernTextBefore) to KPvalue

...I get the following error:

"Can't get character 1 of {text from character 20 to character 20 of text flow id 136 of document \"Untitled-1\" of application \"InDesign CS\", text from character 21 to character 21 of text flow id 136 of document \"Untitled-1\" of application \"InDesign CS\"}."

Again, this seems to be working in InDesign 2, but not InDesign CS. Any ideas?

Thanks
